Hi guys I have thought about leaving the heater out and stocking with "cold" water, but I don't really want gold fish, tank isn't big enough anyway. I have a 68L (17G?) And I don't know what cold water fish are really out their. I also like the idea of shrimp. Any advise appreciated.

Hi Guys, Ok so a few weeks ago I lost a neon. was 100% fine as far as i could see, then inside 24 hours it developed a curved spine, lost the color in the tail (probably 1/3 the length of the body the red stripe), it then lost the ability to swim and died. all inside 24hrs (ish). i actually...

Hi guys Fish in the photo has developed an issue, not sure what has caused it but it has got like this in like 24 hours. I have a feeling my blue guppy, has a slightly clear bit on the tail too. But right now I might be imagining that. I have a clown pleco (baby) 11 neons 2 Molly's and now 5...

hi guys just started a dose of melafix on my tank (just bought some new guppy, more of a precaution). I did, however, forget to test my water before i added, as today is when i do everything. does melafix affect the test kit in anyway? (false reading etc) or can i go ahead and test my water as...

Have 2 salt n pepper mollies (male and female I think) and the female one has been active strange for a whole now and got shy, but was still eating. Last day or two I have noticed that they both spend a lot of time swimming up and down the glass, and the white (f) one has been hiding a lot in...

Hi, I'm from Cambridge - UK I am looking for a replacement bulb and/or reflector for the light in my tank It's an arcadia arc-pod 11w, the lens has gone all flakey and cruddy, and the bulb is bad too. I believe the light quality is massively suffering. Have been looking for a while, but not...

ok so just a quick one. today i brought home 3 guppies and so far they haven't moved from the top of the water, they are just grouped together at the surface. both the guppy and the pleco i bought where introduced very slowly over about an hour, and the PH and temp are the same as my LFS. is...

Hi Guys, sorry about the massive text, but i waffle, you will easily find relevant info though :) So had a reading of 0.25ppm ammonia for months, but nitrite 0 and nitrate 10-30. my lfs tested and just said i had an error on my reading, so i just egnored any reading as long as it wasn't over...

i'm guessing you guys have had this question so much, but i need acurate info i cant find :| current nitrate is roughly 40ppm (possibly a little more) and i know my main issue is the sailfin plec messing up the place, soon i will be getting a clown instead so my waste will drop. my problem is...

Hi Guys I know their are hundreds, but I am trying to find out what type he is (guessing its a he). i was told its a common plec, but im not so sure. its currently 6.5 inches (through the glass) but I have no history with it as i aquired it with the tank.

Hi guys, since I'm new here I'm gonna keep it simple and literally answer the questions in the sticky, but basically I have 2 salt and pepper mollies( I think 1 male 1 female as the bottom fins are different, although not sure which is which). In the last few days it has stopped coming out in...

Evening all, I'm fairly new to the whole thing, had my fish for about 6 months now, its a nice little 65L hex tank, got 2 mollies, 11 neons, and a plec. Had major issues for the first couple of months being fed wrong info and killing fish left right and centre. All seems to be settled now...
