Hello. I have a question regarding my community tank. It is a 110L aquarium with the following: Silver Mollys Sunset Platys 2 Plecos Tiger barbs What other fish are compatible with these fish so they all live in peace and harmony? Many thanks John

Driftwood Yes, I have two pieces of wood in the aquarium. They were boiled before I put them in to hopefully remove the colours. Any advice? Will I always have this colour or will it fade gradually? Or is there something to counteract the colour. Thanks. John

Please advise on the water problem I seem to have. I replaced 25% of the water (180L tank) last weekend and the water colour was OK. It always seems to change to orange/brown in a few days. There doesn't seem to be an algae problem - nothing is coating the stones/glass. The water quality tests...
