A couple of pics of my new Severum pair. Settling in very well & eating at every opportunity!

Hi all. I've recently set up a New 240L New World Cichlid tank, based around a lovely pair of Heros Notatus. I added 10 Bleeding Heart Tetra as dither fish & all has been fine. Last night I returned home to find one of the Bleeding Hearts had 'lost' an eye (into the stomach of one of the...

I everyone, It's been a few busy months since I was last on the forums, but I've been keeping myself busy with my tanks! My 240L Community tank is maturing nicely. I've broken down my 60L Community tank & have set up a 90L Open top community tank in its place. I have had a few Neon Tetra...

Hi all. I'm three weeks into my latest fishless cycle and I'm getting a slightly unusual ph reading. Our water here has a ph of around 6.5, which has never caused me any problems cycling. Tonight I have performed my tests and my readings are: Ammonia 1.2 (which drops from 4 over 24 hours)...

Does anyone know if you can get dog/Hannibal Lecter style face muzzles for fish!!!!??? Every morning I come down with my coffee to say hi to my fish and I find that my golden gourami has bitten off another lump of my Wisteria!! I know it's her cause she's the one that hangs around it all the...

My new 90L Open tank build. Just a week into it's fishless cycle. Ammonia dropping, high nitrite & nitrate readings. Getting a little more evaporation than I thought, but that's not a problem. Some plants ordered & awaiting delivery.

Hi all, I'm just in the process of setting up a new 90L FW Open tank. I bought the tank from E-Bay, with a faulty lighting unit, so have purchased a GLO twin T5 overhead unit, for the new setup and after modifying the rim of the tank, all is securely attached. When I bought the lighting unit...

My little pearlscale angel is growing up real fast!! After a very tough & traumatic introduction into the community it's great to see her thriving :)

Just picked up a Fluval Roma 90L, with matching cabinet, filter, heater, some decor, gravel, food, water conditioner. All in really good condition. Just needs a new light bulb. All for £45. Ideal :)

Nothing like an algae wafer for dinner!

I am considering a pair of Bolivian Rams for my 63 gallon community tank. Would they be considered good tank mates with Angels, Clown Loaches, BN Pleco, a Rainbow Shark, a Golden Gourami & Rummynose Tetra?

One of my Bristlenose Pleco has a very strange habit of sleeping flat on her back! She is normally in her favourite log, often suckered to the top, sort of hanging upside down. On a few occasions now I have found her in the same position, but not attached, laying on her back on the bottom, mouth...

No peace for my BN's during feeding time! My Clowns have zero respect for anyone else if food is involved :) My Pleco's are very tolerant! Are they always such pigs? ;)

My new Peppermint Pleco 'Forty'. Named as he/she was my 40th birthday present!

Hi all, When I am bunching and planting my Elodea Densa I wrap the bottom of the stems in a very thin sponge strip, then secure the bunch with a lead strip to weigh it down. I then plant into my gravel substrate. The plant is growing very well, but the problem I have is it ends up floating...

My little black Angel seems to be floating in a bit of an odd position today. Nose up, quite close to the bottom of the tank. He doesn't seem in discomfort, his fins don't look clamped & he can turn himself around. Once he stops swimming he seems to settle in this position. Any ideas??

Ive got a 240L Fluval Roma as one of my tanks & my other half has kindly agreed that I can have another tank to go in my office/music room :) I've been considering either another Fluval Roma 200L or a Juwel Rio 180L in the new White gloss. They're both about the same price, and I do like my...

Hi all, I'm getting a 4 gallon Nano Tank which I intend to set up as a planted tank in my bedroom. It's lit & comes with a pretty basic, internal filter. Whilst I intend to keep it as a planted tank, if I added a heater, would anyone suggest any suitable fish/invertebrates I could home in it...

I'm really concerned about one of my Neons. I was pretty sure that she was carrying eggs, as she had developed a very rounded belly over the past few days, but was eating and looking well. Tonight I've got home to find her sort of laying on one of my decorations, panting quite hard & she seems...

Suggestions welcome.... I've a 63 gallon community tank with the following occupants. 4 Clown Loaches 1 Rainbow Shark 3 Bristlenose Pleco 1 Golden Gourami 4 Angelsfish (2 large, 2 small) I am looking for a shoaling fish that is a mid/upper level swimmer, that (hopefully) is unlikely to become...

Hi all. My LFS is getting an Emperor Pleco in tomorrow & I'm going down to take a look. I've got 3 Bristlenoses in my 63 gallon so far & believe they will be pretty good together. Any Emperor owners out there that can offer any info? :)

I've got some Elodea Densa in my tank, which seem to be doing well. Over past week they seem to be growing little threads which look like cotton strands from a few locations halfway up the stems. Anyone cast some light on what these are?

A few pics of some of my fish (the ones that cared to pose anyway) :)

A few pics of my tank & occupants, which is starting to take shape. Please excuse the cloudy water. I'm recovering from a terrible 'green water' outbreak.

Hi all, I am looking for ideas for my 240L community tank. My current occupants are; 4 Clown Loaches 2 Large Angels 2 Small Angels 1 Golden Gourami 1 Rainbow Shark 3 Bristlenose Pleco I have a lovely school of Rummynose Tetra in my 60L tank, who are absolute stars, so another school is very...
