I'm thinking of converting my gravel substrate in my 29g to sand. Given that the tank is established now, I'm wondering how to go about this. The easiest thing I can think of would be to add a 1/2" layer of sand on top of the existing gravel. Would I be able to do this without removing the...

I've had my Tiger Barbs for a couple of months now & they have until recently been pretty harmless - chasing each other about a bit, but not really bothering the other fish (2 Corys, 2 Yo Yo loaches and 1 Oto) The last week or so I've caught them bullying my Corys - their fins are quite...

I have 7 Tiger Barbs and have noticed some strange behaviour of an evening. They regularly chase each other round the tank, when this happens, their fins become really erect and red. There's one Barb in particular (I'm pretty sure it's the same one each time) which seems to turn almost...

http://www.thedeep.co.uk/ Anybody ever been? I went a couple of weeks back ... it was awesome!

Blimey ... this forum's been a bit quiet! Can anyone recommend somewhere to buy my filter bits (Fluval 2) and water treatments (Usually Stress Coat & Stress Zyme) online? I've seen lots of sites but could do with some personal recommendations

I've got a 10g full of baby Corys about 4 weeks old. I've been feeding them with Liquifry up till now but I was wondering when I should start feeding them solid foods. I've tried putting a couple of sinking pellets that I feed my adult Corys on into the tank but they haven't shown a great deal...

Any way I can get into the chat from mIRC ... I'm having trouble with the chat link as I don't have the Microsoft VM installed properly?

I bought a pair of yo yo loaches yesterday to control my snail population & just wondered whether they eat algae too. They're quite an interesting fish ... from what I'd read about them I expected them to be quite shy & hide away but they're feisty things ... certainly got the tiger barb's...

A while back I had a bout of fungus which got one of my Corys tails quite badly. At the time, he seemed to get a kink in his back end which I thought was due to him overcompensating for the lack of half a tail. His tail has now grown back, but he still has quite a noticeable kink. He seems...

After setting up a new tank, I moved all the inhabitants out of my 10g last weekend. Seen as though I had a bit of a snail problem, I dumped a dollop of snail treatment in ... I just poured from the bottle as I wasn't bothered about overdosing given there were no fish in the tank. Anyhow, after...

I'm moving my Corys over into my new tank tomorrow ... and tips on making things as painless as possible for the fish? When I first got them they were absolutely manic while the bag was floating in the tank ... it was heartbreaking to see them so distressed ... don't want to upset my little...

Whilst getting my new tank yesterday (110l) I fell in love with some clown loaches. Do they get on OK with Corys? I've not decided exactly what's going in my tank but a small shoal of Corys is a must!

A while back I noticed my Corys had a bout of fungus, mainly on their lower fins. I duly dosed the tank with some anti fungus treatment and it cleared up. Only problem is that every time I stop the treatment it just comes straight back. I think the fungus started when I was spending quite a...

Here's one of my Bronze Corys

I'm looking at new tanks, the one I have in mind is a Rekord 120. I have one question which I can't find the answer to, even in the instruction manual for the tank which I downloaded. Hopefully somebody out there may have one! The question is - is there a built in timer for the light on this...

Hi, I'm preparing to get a 120l (26g) tank & could do with some advice on how many and what sort of fish to populate it with. For starters there will be 4 bronze corys from my existing 10g tank. I'm a huge fan of corys, so would happily have a few more :D I'd also like a pleco, but a I...

Perhaps somebody can give me a few ideas. I found all 4 of my glowlight tetra dead this morning. Well, 3 of them, the 4th is still missing in action (I think he may have been eaten by one of my 2 Corys) I'm at a bit of a loss as to why this happened. They were all fine lively & feeding...
