What's the best time to dose excel? After lights on, lights off? Just before the lights go on? What's worked best for you guys? I want to hear experiences and alternatives, what's worked for you and what failed, trying to soak up as much info as possible.

I have a tank full of platy fry (over 25 at least, with another platy about to burst). I'm wondering if it's normal for them to develop stripes before they develop colour? My fry have now got stripes (multiple) over their bodies. I've got no experience with growing fry, can anyone tell me what...

I've been offered a 2ft cichlid set up for $130, with everything, I just don't know what's involved with cichlid care? I know there are four peacocks in the tank and that's about it. Is there anything different with cichlids that I need to know from a standard tropical community tank?

Ok, I've read about how to prepare it and it's boiling at the moment. It seems it's already warterlogged as it sunk as soon as I put it in water (I bought it at the lfs) and it says it's been pre-prepared on the label that was on the bag. My question is, is it safe to put DW into an established...

9 platys and 6 shrimp babies that I've found so far!!! They're soo adorable but they're loose in my community tank. Do you think they will be ok?

How do you work out what type of lighting you have? I have worked out that I have 2x 13w flourescent bulbs (this is my tank: Aquatic Supplies Australia: Blue Planet SereneLife Kingdom 100 Aquarium (100L) ) and they both have 14,000K printed on the tube (I don't know if that applies to anything...

So, after a shaky start (thanks to knowing nothing about cycling or tanks in general) I'm proud to say that I think I'm learning really fast and here's my tank stock & pictures: 1 x female dwarf gourami (my male died after jumping out of the tank while I was checking my paramaters...

As title says... She has this weird lump looking thing..??

So far I'm incredibly happy with my new tank, as are the fish it seems, though Brutus (male dwarf gourami) is definitely head honcho! Params are all ideal (phew) and I've done a 25% water change as I needed to add a bit more flourish excel to the water. My loaches are funny little buggers...

In my tank at the moment, I have two platy fry (both over 2cms) and 2 kuhli loaches. I ordered gravel (a fine black quartz gravel) from my LFS which won't be here (due to a supplier delay) until the same day as I get my new fish. The new fish are being delivered and I can't change the day...

Found this random little guy in my tank, can anyone identify him please?

I absolutely cannot wait for Tuesday!! On Tuesday I finally get my delivery of the following: 2 more Kuhli Loaches (bringing the total to 4) 7kgs of very fine, round black quartz gravel (I've probably over-ordered but I'd rather have too much than not enough 6 dwarf pongol plants Another 3...

It's curious about other peoples thoughts on tanks like mine that come with a built in filtration system and lights etc? The plastic ones I mean?

Ok, my plan for the tank is the following: 2 Dwarf Gouramis (1 Male, 1 Female) 4 Blue Platys 4 Kuhli Loaches Possibly some Shrimp (which I know may become food for the gouramis, but as the tank will be quite heavily planted I'm hoping they will have plenty of places to hide) It's a 100L tank...

So my tank has cycled thanks to my housemates - they gave me some filter media and I cycled that through yesterday. I have plants and fish lol! I have 2 kuhli loaches and at the moment two platy fry! So happy!!

How do you know what you want in a tank? I'm doing my first tank, it's 100L (not sure of the gallons sorry) and I love it, but I can't decide what I want in there. I have a long list of fish I really love and want but no idea on how to trim it down. I want lots of colour/activity but relatively...

It's now cycling, squee! Not the tank I'd actually ordered, but it's bigger and cheaper and I adore it!! Here's a pic! Any suggestions for stock are more than welcome, it's 100L. I can't wait to plant it and stock it! Plants are going in on Friday, there weren't any decent ones at my LFS...

Hi everyone, I'm buying my first large tank today! I can't wait. It will be tropical freshwater, I've been waiting to do this for about three months, finally have some time off to get organised. Ideally I'm aiming for a minimum 90L tank. Any suggestions for getting set up are more than...
