I tend not to disturb as much as possible, but keep things as clean as possible, so if I'm cleaning glass of the tank do it in the same water or alongside a pwc. I have no artificial decor but if I did I would leave this be as it would have a good surface area (fake plants, caves etc). If it is...

I normally only give the filters a clean around once month also, but do pwc around twice a week sometimes more if I have the time.

I have internal filters that have sponges in them, (I also add filter wool at the top to add that extra filtration) when cleaning I generally swish them about in some tank water and replace. In the past have also gone for the more deep cleaning, which was to give them a good squeeze and...

I'm going to give it a go, I will report back on my findings and experience, cheers for the great advice once again.

Im curious, how exactly would they be packaged? Or is there many different methods? Heat packs etc?

I will do some checking around before ordering, all of the local fish shops either seem really run down or they are the big corporate pet stores with people that have no idea. I'm new to this but I probably know more! I thought online may be an alternative and wanted to get a feel for it. Thank...

Thanks for taking the time to read through, The ugf's have gone I have gone with plain black background it looks good, I'll post a pic Oscars are not a reality in the setup I have at the moment, I'm going with tetras Yes it is a growing addiction, I'm already shopping around for a much bigger...

Sounds like good advice, I will do a search and more research. My main reason for asking was that the fish are cheaper and that I'm not sure of the ethics of posting live animals?

Anyone bought fish online? What is your thoughts on this? Cheers.

Nearly all my ferns are at it! :)

Thank you

I'm going from cold setup as I had two fantails in there to tropical 23-27c, should I start dosing again to keep balance?

I've been pricing up cardinals and they are not cheap, might go with neons. Which is the best way to introduce them? All at once or in smaller amounts? My tank was going to be a fishless cycle but I was given two fantails which increased my workload but help the cycle along. They have been...

This is not finished yet, waiting on a black background and a few more rocks and swords and another in tank filter.

How many cardinal tetras in a 30 gallon tank? thank you in advance for any advice.

Hope this helps.

This is what I have going on.

Nearly all my ferns have plantlets on them right now, if you could post a pic would probably be the quickest way to get to the bottom of this.

Is that a good thing? I guess the plants like my tank. I need to get some fish in there at some point :)

My plants are having baby plants? Should I just leave them or take them out?

Keep asking questions. I am new to this also and have received great advice here. The only thing I could add as help would be to keep reading and researching. I have also been a victim of store advice and it is worthless. Good luck with your new tank and I'm sure you will get great enjoyment...

Another question, when I'm treating for chlorine do I do it for the amount I'm changing or the volume of the tank? I have read conflicting methods. If you have initially treated the whole tank then surely the remaining water is already treated? Maybe I have sneered my own question?

How many tetras should I put in 35 gallons?

I will post there, also there has been an update today so I will see if that fixes a few bugs.

Help, sorry it seems like I'm not replying to any messages but I am but the app I'm using seems broken? I use iPhone an iPad any ideas?
