One of my bronze platties looks unwell, he's on the bottom of my tank, not much life in him. I have 3 other platties that are fine, my 2 gbr, 4 corys are also good. My glass catfish however has started to appear more frequently in the day which I find a bit strange as he normally only appears at...

One of my neon tetra has developed a growth on his lip and I've moved him to my 13 litre hospital tank. This happened to a different tetra not long after I started up my tank but he recovered well from it. Both times I have treated the fish with interpet anti fungus and finrot. I have followed...

Just done a water test with my api test kit, readings are PH-7.4, AM-0, NI-0 and NA-20. That's before my PWC. Is the nitrate a bit high or is that normal?

I've just bought a small tank specifically for my spawning rams and any other medical problems. I want to cycle the tank with a fish/fishes and am thinking a single betta?

Is it possible to put beach slag stone in your tropical tank? I've checked on the web and there is no advice on this topic. If anyone has any experience on this then please can you share as I'd like to add some.

I've decided to buy myself a small tank as I'm not having luck with my GBR spawning. They have spawned twice in two months and havnt had any luck with any hatching.

I've just got home from work and my female ram has spawned on the stones (rubble). I've only had this pair for a few weeks and this is the second time it's happened. The male is waving his fins over the fry and is guarding off my corys. The last time she spawned it was on a leaf of a plant which...

I'm looking to add to my tank quite soon and was wondering if anyone has any tips for me? I currently have a 94 litre tank with 2 GBR, 4 tri corys, 4 glass catfish and 4 gold neon tetra. I want something with personality and colour but nothing that will upset any of my tank mates. My GBR are...

Just wondering if my results are ok??? PH 8, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 10ppm. Tested with API freshwater master test kit. Thanks.

Hi, been having a few problems over the past few days. I have a 94 liter tank with a fluval 305 filter. I have 2 rams, 2 Kribs, 5 neon tetra, 1 Cory and 1 glass catfish. The rams lost their colour a few days ago and both catfish became very weak. So I took a water sample to my local store and...

Pictures 1 and 2 are the male and 3 is the female kribensis. Had many people tell me that these fish are not compatible with gold rams but they get along just fine, even when breeding.

I have done a 20% water change about an hour ago and my female ram has just layed about 40-50 eggs on the leaf of my plant, is there anything I need to do as it's the first time this has happened to me and I'm new to the whole thing????

Had my 2 gold rams and 2 kribensis now for 3 days along with a glass catfish, I already had a Julie cory and 5 gold neon tetras in a 94 litre tank. I will be purchasing the API master kit today, should I do a water change before or after testing the water or leave it for a couple of days? All my...

I've had my tank running smoothly now for about a month. I have a 94 litre tank with 5 neon tetra, a cory and 2 dwarf gourami. My ph and nitrate levels are reading well and I'm making 10% water changes once a week. As I'm new to the hobby I'm not sure how and how often to clean my filter. I'm...
