Thanks for your reply, I currently have no plants in my aquarium so I'll vacume the gravel later. I've never had a planted aquarium before but I purchased one or two live plants that were in weighted pots from my LFS which died and gave my old tank hundreds of snails! When the plants were alive...

Hi I have a 180litre tank with 1 small royal pleco, 1 platty, 1 kuhli loach, 3 mollys, 2 pearl gourmai. Since adding the new fish the 3 mollys and the 2 gourmai the ammonia levels have settled down to 0 after doing 10% water changes daily. I was just wondering how often I should clean the gravel...

The loach is a kuhli loach, not sure if that's spelt right, I've had him for over a year and I bought him with another kuhli loach but he seemed to have either ate him or the other one just vanished! Would I need to buy more of the loaches?. Yea the gourmai is a pearl. The royal pleco is tiny at...

Thanks for your reply I ended up moving my filter with my fish at the same time and everything has been fine over the past few days the water readings have been all spot on and the fish seem to be much happier in their larger tank. How long would I need to keep my old filter in the tank?
