My local one seem quite nice. I've got to know them well over the last few months. I got the tetras from a shop I hadn't been too before. Not be going back.

Will do. Ill just ask the shop owner what to do. Thanks :-)

I'm gutted. I've had the tank for about a year now and no problems at all. Never mind, I'll not go to that silly shop again. Thanks for the advice. Off to get some marine salt now. Fingers crossed!

Yeah got the air stone on fill and got the filter blowing near the surface. Is just raising the temperature going to be enough?

Hi I've just noticed that some on my black neon tetra's have got itch. I bought them from a lfs last weekend. I've got shrimps in the tank so I am restricted in the medication I can use. Is there any natural treatments you can recommend. I've already started to raise the water temperatures...

My red cherry shrimp looks like its in the process of turning black? Is this normal? Any ideas?

I think I'll just stick to whatever colour they have in the shop lol. Really fancy red cherry shrimp. Will do a good water change once a month. Do you like keeping shrimp?

How often will I need to do pwc? I change 10-20% weekly on my big tank. Is a shrimp tank the same or more often? I literally have no idea what kind of shrimp lol. What do you recommend?

Hi all I'm in the middle of setting up a shrimp tank for the first time. Could anyone give me some feedback on my initial set up? Is there anything else I need? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Thank you for the great advice Ian. I've never heard if they type of food before. Sounds good tho!

Yeah was thinking about red cherry shrimp? Do you think they would be ok in a small tank with fry?

Hi ya. Can anyone tell me what kind of cleaning fish are suitable for a fry tank. By this I mean fish that will clean up any left over food and sieve through my sand substrate to prevent toxic build up, but won't eat my fry. The tank is only small at 30 litres. Thank you

Never tried the bottle! Good idea. Was just using a plain old bucket lol

Yeah I'm planning on keeping them in the fry tank for a good few months. This is my first batch of babies so I'm hoping it all goes well. My friends have claimed them already lol

She dropped in the breeder box yesterday. Only had 10 babies but all are fine. The babies are still in the box but mums back in the big tank. Just waiting for my sand to settle in my nursery tank then ill move them. I hate using sand as substrate! Was rinsing it for ages and the water is still...

Hi can anyone tell me when these Guppys will give birth? I feel like it's a race against time to get my fry tank ready!

Yes very pretty but really shy. I'm lucky if I see him once a day lol

Thank you :-)

Hi ya. Can anyone tell me what species of catfish this is? My friend was selling his tank, so I offered his resident catfish a new home. But I have no idea what type he is Thank you

Thank you both for your advice. I will look into getting a couple more cory's of the same species once i have returned the mollies. My first cory is very shy and has made his home inside a piece of driftwood. I'm sure he will feel a lot more secure once he has a couple of tank...

Thank you all so much for your advice! Last time I got my water tested the ammonia and nitrate levels where both at 0. The ph was slightly low due to the water in my area so I got a rock thing to bring it up. These levels where before I added the Mollies (2 days ago) so ill need to get it...

Couple of spelling mistakes in that message! Stupid iPhone :-) :-) I meant thread and stocking lol

Hi all! This is my first time starting a tread so I hope I do it right :-) Ive had my 125 litre or 27 gallon fish tank set up for about 6 months now. The tank is fully cycled after a lot of reading on setting up a new aquarium. After being given some advice in the pet shop I purchased...
