What do you guys think of my tank? It's a Juwel Rio 125 with 15 neon tetras, a male dwarf gourami, 6 peppered corys, 9 red cherry shrimp and a zebra nerite snail; its planted with two amazon swords, some jungle vals, a java fern and some dwarf hair grass

All of my neons have these white growths on them, with the one in the picture being the worst affected. Is it ich (again) or something else i need to treat them for?

I'm getting a Juwel Rio 125 with a Fluval 206 external filter in a couple of days to upgrade my current 15 gallon tank and am just looking for a few stocking ideas. I currently have: 1 x Male Dwarf Gourami (was thinking about getting some females if I can find any at my LFS - good idea or not?)...

Help! My fish have all got white spot, so I was going to use API White Spot Treatment but heard it will kill my shrimp and snails so what else can I do? I've already lost four of my 10 neon tetras to it so I need urgent help, thanks guys!

I've had this Hillstream loach for about 6 months now and he's healthy and happy, I'm just not sure if it's pseudogastromyzon cheni or pseudogastromyzon myersi. The photos aren't great because every time I get near him with my camera he swims away.

I've had this piece of driftwood in my tortoise table for a few months and decide that it would look better in my fish tank. So as of two days ago, I've been putting it in a bucket of boiling water and leaving it for 24 hours and then replacing the water and repeating. I'm just wondering if this...

I ordered a bunch of Anacharis from eBay and received it today. I've planted each individual strand about an inch apart from the next, there's 5 strands and 3 floating strands. Is this right? I think it is but I just wanted to check. I'll be getting some Water Wisteria in the next few days, so...

I always get excited when I see people advertising 'mix of low-light plants for sale!' and then feel deflated when I realise they're in Ohio or New York or somewhere else too far to ship :( So I was wondering if anyone in England was selling any low-light plants. If so, let me know, thanks...

Tank stats: -15 UK/18 US gallons -15 Watt 'Daylight' CFL bulb (left on for 10-14 hours a day) -0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 25 nitrate just before water change. I have 2 'bunches' of Java Fern in my aquarium - 1 bunch (approx. 9 leaves from the same rhizome) on a smallish rock on the substrate and 1...

I have a 15 gallon/18 US gallon/65 litre tank with a 15 watt 'daylight' light and no CO2 and no fertilisers. I was wondering if anyone knew of some low-light plants that I'd be able to keep with this light? Floating, rhizome, bulb, stem - anything. Thank you! :) :fish2:

I bought 6 Golden White Cloud Mountain Minnows for my newly cycled 20 gallon long yesterday for my birthday last month! :brows: I have a question: Will 6 regular White Cloud Mountain Minnows school with them if I bought them? So that would take me up to 12 White Clouds (6 gold, 6 regular). Next...

I have a 15 gallon tank and was wondering if a 10kg bag of Play Sand is big enough for a 2" layer? How do I go about cleaning it before I put it in? How do I change the gravel over without losing loads of good bacteria? Thanks guys! :D :fish2:

I feed my two Black Moor Goldfish 'Supa Fish Food', and was just wondering if any of you knew whether it was any good for them? It says on the tub 'The superior food for goldfish, all coldwater varieties and tropicals.' I know about the fact that Fancies shouldn't eat at the surface because of...

Loads of you guys have driftwood in your tanks and I have a massive gap on the right side of my fish tank - where I was thinking of putting some driftwood (I heard my Hillstreams might like it [Pseudogastromyzon cheni]). The problem is that driftwood is so expensive! :nono: So I was wondering if...

Do Chinese Hillstream Loaches (Pseudogastromyzon cheni) like to be in small groups or do they prefer to be alone? The reason I ask is that I have 1 in my coldwater set up (20-21°C) and he looks a little miserable. Thank you guys! :fish2:

:confused: I'm going away on Thursday lunchtime and won't be back until Monday lunchtime. The tank and fish are in my signature. I really can't trust my family to feed them the right amount and turn the light on and off. Will my fish be alright until I get back with no food and lights? I don't...

Right now, I have a 15 UK gallon coldwater tank with 2 Black Moor goldfish (1 is about 2 inches, the other is about 1.5 inches not including their tails), 1 Hong Kong Butterfly Plecostomus and 1 Zebra Nerite Snail. It's been set up for about 2 months and it was fish-less cycled before I added...

I was going to stock my 15 gallon with Ember Tetras and Pygmy Cories but my LFS doesn't stock either. So now I'm thinking 11 Green Neon Rasboras (already have 5) and some Killifish as centrepiece. My LFS stocks Norman's Lampeye and Clown Killifish. Are either of these any good? If so how many...

I woke up this morning to find that my tank water was really cloudy. I read that it could be because i left in 2 slices of carrot for the Cories a few days ago for 3 days. Apparently it has caused a bacterial bloom. I did a 100% water change and it has gone away considerably but not completely...

I have another thread called 'Filling out schools.', where I have talked about re-doing my 15 gallon - fish and all - to create a nano community. It's all very exciting! Today, I started by rehoming all my current stock (6 Harlequin Rasboras 5 Endler's Livebearer 3 Panda Cories 1 Red Honey...

In my 12 UK gallon (15 US gallon), i have: 6 x Harlequin Rasbora 5 x Male Endler 4 x Panda Cory 1 x Red Honey Gourami 1 x Rainbow Platy 1 x Zebra Nerite Snail 1 x Amano Shrimp My question is, should i fill out the schools to 6 Cories and 8 Harlequin's? The Cories are pretty shy and stay hidden...

My little brother will be setting up a 7 gal hex tank when we move house around Christmas time. We were wondering what fish/shrimp/snails/whatever he could put in it? We know about cycling and everything and i have a test kit he can use. Thanks guys! :D

I just bought a new Platy! My stupid phone won't let me upload a photo of him but he is white with a red tail. Does anyone know what type he is? I will also keep an eye on him with my Red Honey Gourami who seems to chase the new guy a little bit. I'm sure they'll be fine though! :)

I have a spare 3.3 gallon lying around the house and I'm planning on stocking it with an ADF(s). Question 1. How many? Question 2. Can i have a Nerite Snail as well? Question 3. What do i feed them/how often? thanks in advance guys! :)

Hi guys! I've got a spare 3.3 acrylic tank lying around that i use to put my fish food, test kit and net in at the minute. :3 it previously held 4 mosquito Rasbora, 2 Nerite snails and a bunch of Red Cherry Shrimp, but the Rasbora hated it and went into hiding and literally disappeared one by...
