    New 130 litre tank. Discus??

    I love cardinals :) the rams in my LFS don't look as fabulous as yours but I guess they are young! I've got a way to go before I get fish (tank is currently empty in my shed!!) but it's nice to have a realistic idea of what I could have so thank you for your ideas :thanks:

    New 130 litre tank. Discus??

    I hadn't thought of rams but I do like them. I have quite soft, slightly acidic water (pH 6.7) would this suit them?

    New 130 litre tank. Discus??

    I have breeding pair of angels in my 110l tank so was looking for something different for this tank. I would love some discus but don't have room for a massive tank... ah well back to the drawing board I suppose!

    New 130 litre tank. Discus??

    I have just bought a second hand Aqua one 620t 130l tank from a friend. I would love to plant it up and have a pair of Discus but not sure if the tank would be big enough. Am I setting myself up to fail?

    Film on water

    Thanks, I have my filter outlet bar pointing at the surface so have a fair amount of agitation. I'll add a bubble wand & see if that helps.

    Film on water

    Have a 29g planted tank which has been running over 2 years. Recently a film developed on the surface and each time I remove it, it comes back within a few days. It is a very thin film and is green in colour. All the fish and plants are fine and water parameters are normal for the tank. Any...

    All pond solution tank

    I've got one of these tanks & I really like it now it's all sorted! There are good & bad points as with most things. Good points are: Price, really good value for money compared to other brands. The tank is really solid with a nice curve to the front. The lights that come with it are pretty...

    stocking for 90

    Sorry you had some losses, I've had problems in my new 90g too. I hope you get things how you want them soon! I remember the pics of your tank :) I'm sure you could put some DW in there, even if it's hidded behind the ship!

    White film & clamped fins :(

    OK, the worst looking angel has died :( her name was Stripes and she had always been the most timid one... feeling pretty rubbish about all this now! I've added some more salt today so now thats roughly 20 tsp in the 90g. How much more can I add without upsetting the plants? There are still no...

    flashing :/

    Hopefully they will settle down but sometimes that's an early sign of ich. What type of fish do you have?

    White film & clamped fins :(

    I've lost another platy this morning, also no previous symptoms. The worst affected angel has gone into hiding and didn't come out for her breakfast thismorning :( I've now also got a sick female betta in my other tank (AAARRGGHHH) I put some cherry shrimp in my spare tank the other day so am...

    flashing :/

    It's horrible watching your fish act strange, when you say 'flashing' do you mean they're flicking & twitching? Any signs of anything else? Have you checked your water parameters? How long has the tank been running? Did you change all of the substrate?

    White film & clamped fins :(

    I'm glad to hear you're winning your battle MamaJasmine! I couldn't get myxazin at lfs but have done 50% pwc, added salt and just done another dose of melafix. I've lost a platy this afternoon, she didn't have any symptoms, I just wish I knew what was going on. None of the fish have pimples as...

    White film & clamped fins :(

    I reduced the temp last night down to 23C but this morning 2 of my praecox rainbows were dead :( no obvious symptoms. The worst affected angel doesn't look any worse, some of the white looks like its peeling off so I'm feeling a little more optimistic for her. I'm just off to lfs to see what I...

    My gorgeous betta!!

    Oh, that is a shame! Have you tested the water? Did you use some media from your other tank to help with cycling? I hate it when fish die, makes me feel like I've failed them :(
