Have a java fern that is thriving in my tank. It seems to love the conditions and is taking over one end of my tank. Today I decided to look at trimming it back before my tank is overrun with the stuff. When I turned over the driftwood it is firmly anchored to just less than half it's leaves...

Hi all I've got a plant that is about 7" across and 3" or so high. I've been reading roydooms guide, and I think it looks like a Anubias Nana but I'm not sure. Recently it's grown some extra roots and is even trying to flower! Here is a picture or two... Thanks in advance for any...

Hi all, Until this evening I have run a very trouble free 30g tank with 10 assorted tiger barbs and 1 BN Plec. Around 3 hours ago I found 1 tiger barb stuck up to the intake of my filter which has a fine plastic grill to stop things getting sucked in. I separated it in a breeding net as there...

Hi all, I have a newly cycled, lightly planted 30g tall tank that I need advice with. First of all there are 3 types of plant in there, all of which are supposedly good for begin aquariums (or so the LFS say). I've identified 2 plants as Vallisneria americana (natans) and Elodea Densa, the...

Hi, I've just bought a pleco this weekend from P@H. The tank was labelled as longfin bristlenose plecs but the one I chose looked different to the others in the tank. A bigger head and lighter coloured. Please let me know what you think... Matt Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

I was thinking about getting some shrimp for my aquarium but was surprised to find at my LFS they are £2.50 each. Is this comparable to elsewhere? Does anyone know good uk mail-order shops for shrimps? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

Hi all I'm considering getting some shrimp to help keep my 30g tall tank clean. My stock list is currently just 6 assorted TBs, but I'm planning on upping that to 10 total and a BN Pleco. Firstly, are clean up shrimps a good idea or just an excuse to leave it longer between PWCs (as long as...

Does tap water's PH change if you let it sit for a few days? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

Ok so I need help... Due to bad advice from the LFS when I setup my tank, I used 7.2 buffer as my tap water is 8.0 (see this thread for details of my setup and the bad advise i got from the LFS - http://aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/how-not-to-start-out-following-lfs-advice-139587.html ). I'm...

Please can anyone advise their favourite food that is suitable for tiger barbs under 1 inch. Thanks in advance Matt Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

Hi all, I've joined AA as I have just bought a 110L tall tank last week second hand and it had an API FW test kit with it. I tested my water and headed for the LFS with the results and they said that the ph was a bit high (8.0) and I should use 7.2 buffer. I said that I was interested in...

Hi all, I've joined AA as I have just bought a 110L tall tank last week second hand and it had an API FW test kit with it. Hoping to get some great advice and make some friends that are interested in this hobby.

Moved from another thread so as not to steal it from the OP... My tank was delivered today, but I can't make my mind up as to the decor ... I know what I want as stock - tiger barbs to start with, and as it's a 40g I'm planning on getting around 10 and maybe a bristlenose too but i'm unsure...

Hi All, Well today I started installing my first aquarium. I've been reading this and other forums and also guides etc for the past month or two trying to gather as much info as i can to reduce the chance of making a mess of it. I decided to join this forum for three main reasons...
