    Aquarium stocking

    I'm not sure if I made myself clear, I have TWO 180L tanks, 1 contains silver tips and the other contains the fish mentioned above.

    Aquarium stocking

    Well mine (including silver tips) would be about the same around 120%, my filtration is an Eheim Powerball for up to 200L I think along with the built in filter in my Jewel all-in-one tank :) What do you think? I want the best for my fish but I have some Tetras (in another tank) I have been...

    Aquarium stocking

    Ok sounds good, I'm glad I came here as my local breeder says it would be fine, and on various other sites they said it would be ok.

    ok, thanks :) So I would be overstocked, but my current state (or + centrepiece) is fine?

    Aquarium stocking

    Hey guys, due to the amount and quality of help I have previously received, I knew exactly where to ask this question. I have a 180L (47G) aquarium containing the following, my question is if I would be ok to add a school of 10-15 silver tip tetras. 6 Black Mollies 6 Guppies 7 Sterba Corydora...

    Overstocked with fry?

    Hey guys, I have a 180L (47G I think) Aquarium that has been going for about 10 months, it has recently had a re-stocking. I have moved the residence of all my other tanks into this one, as we are moving soon and it will be much easier to transport just the one, and I like it like that anyways...

    Unwell Platy (Swim bladder maybe?)

    After further research I heard that some fish bend like that as a reaction to stress, if he got a fright. I'll se if he will eat maybe.

    Unwell Platy (Swim bladder maybe?)

    I usually do a 15% twice a week, sometimes a 30% once a week but I try to do two a week. I know it will be painful to let him go if he does not improve but I think seeing the 20 odd Platy fry he made grow up to be happy healthy fish would make his life, although cut tragically short, a very...

    Unwell Platy (Swim bladder maybe?)

    Yes, maybe if I could diagnose it I would know better, whether there is hope or not. it's so hard to tell if a fish is in pain :/

    Unwell Platy (Swim bladder maybe?)

    Thank you, I will see if I can't separate him from the rest, I always have my hospital tank ready. I cannot see any physical flaws apart from his now "S" shape. Apart from what appears to be a tiny white nub thing near his abdomen, couldn't get a very good look though. I'll investigate further...

    Unwell Platy (Swim bladder maybe?)

    Been at least 10 hours since I noticed it. Still alive, dormant on the net floor until any activity like a hand or fish fry that managed to get in. When it moves it moved sideways and struggles around its bent tail and lies down again. Poor thing, I hope he will be ok.

    Unwell Platy (Swim bladder maybe?)

    NO2- 0 NO3- <35 pH- 7.5 and my medicineis "Omnipur S" against the most common fish ailments. I live in Austria so most likely unrecognisable brands. It is possible for me to do a Gh and KH test if necessary.

    Unwell Platy (Swim bladder maybe?)

    Hey guys, Due to all the great help I've had here in the past I was in no doubt of where to ask when my next problem arose. Well, I have had a 180L (47G) freshwater aquarium for about 6 months now. Inside I have livebearers, 3 Platies and their many babies, 2 Mollies and 6 Guppies. Recently...

    Shrimp behaving strange

    Sorry, I left a bit out by mistake, my NO3 says 0-25 my NO2 is 0.3 and ammonia is 0. I doubt my tank is cycling because it has been going problem free for the best part of 2 years. It seems to have calmed down now so maybe it was because the females were berried.

    Fish Photography Move?

    Hey guys, I have a 180L community tank of livebearers and I find them stunningly beautiful. I have tried to get pictures of them but I find my tank to plant and hiding spaced filled I cannot get a good shot at them. My question is would it be too stressful for a heathy fish, to be moved into a...

    Shrimp behaving strange

    Hey, I have 10 Amano shrimp (I believe they are A.K.A. ghost shrimp). 4 are females and 6 are males. Over the last few days the males have been swimming around the 30L very fast and being restless. I believe this is the mating ritual or just natural behavior but I wanted to check here. The...

    Overstocked?

    So I've got 8 neon tetras and 7 panda corys is that ok? I have a 15 gallon tank, I think I put too much gravel in there because I can only fit about 9 gallons of water in there, what should I do? Is that ok?

    Hospital Tank size?

    I think I'll get a 15 gal, aquarium set and leave the filter running in my main 47 gal tank so I can create an insta-cycle hospital tank, well, it's 54 litres so >14 gal. They are about 90 Euros where I live
