Hello all, My CO2 equipment arrived today finally. I want to connect it all up early next week but am scared out of my wits about it after I had a nitrite spike in my other tank when adding a CO2 set-up ( Söchting Carbonator). Current water values are as shown by the attached image. At the...

Hello all. My established but redone 130 lit had a massive nitrite spike last night. Since installing my new Trigon 190 and transferring all my fish and inverts to this tank, I decided to redo the 130 lit. Redo = replant and change the decor ... added driftwood. To do this I emptied...

I have always thought the brown shrimp in photo to be an Amano Shrimp. But when I compare her to the other shrimps in the tank (second pic), she is very different. I am assuming the others are Amano's as they were sold to me as such. Thanking you for your help.

Curious question : Can one make an aquarium using Acrylic for some parts and Glass for the front ? My Idea would be to have the bottom, the back and sides out of acrylic and the front out of Glass. Question of price. All Glass would cost CHF 700 / 650 EURO. Acrylic would only be 200 EURO...

I have a new project I want to attempt. I have never made LED lighting for an aquarium. I have always contented myself with T8 or T5 tubes - usually preinstalled in existing lids. So, I am getting 2 x 220 lit aquariums. I'm guessing around 1m in length 45cm deep and 50cm high. Neither have...

Please look at the pic and tell me what fish this is. I have had her about a year as at the time I had 2. But the partner died suddenly. I think it is a Splash Tetra ( Copella Arnoldi ). I have 2 in my tank and I think this one may be a female because the other one has a longer tail and...

Hi all. I have just set up a tank - Saturday just gone. Tank size - 180 lit. This tank is now cycling. I'll introduce some corys, ottos and perhaps some shrimp shortly to start the biomass. My 120 lit tank has a PH of 7.2. Our water is really hard and so the current PH in the 180 is 7.8...

I have 5 aquariums of which only 2 contain fish. The other 3 are getting major overhauls .... something I have never done before. The 2 containing fish are in unplanted bare aquariums for now awaiting their new habitats. I have many plants that unfortunately accumulated some algae on their...

1~ Pterophyllum Scalare - Angel Fish. Has a large "bubble" growing on his right eye and a smaller one on the left. See pics. 2~ Cannot give exact values, I test with a strip. I treated my tank for flat snails today as there seemed to be too many. I followed the Instructions given with the SERA...

2 weeks ago my Angels fry hatched and all seemed ok. There were about 60 fry. They have been free swimming for a while now, but today I have 2 fry left. 2 main questions are on my mind ...... besides the obvious one .... where are the rest ?? 1. Do Angels cannibalize their own fry after a...

Hey, I am a new "dad" with some 60 angelfish fry ..... How soon can I remove the parents from the tank after hatching of the fry ? I already have separated the tank to keep other occupants from eating them .... Thank you for your help

Help !!! I have cycled a 120lit /31 US Gal tank 2 months ago with 3 weekly water changes and added fish a month later. The tank is bare as this tank will serve as an Angel sorting tank with the view to breed. Currently there are about 20 various fish in it in holding for a friend while their...

Hello all, I am hoping someone out there would be able to help me out with a little problem I am presently experiencing in a newly set up FW Aquarium. I have placed 2 wood structures in the aquarium - these are stalks from old uprooted Grape Vines. When I got them, I stripped them of their...
