I really want to buy a python, but our faucets don't have any threads on them. Is there an adaptor that would work on this type of faucet?

Help! I woke up this morning to find out there was a power cut during the night. I I have no idea how many hours we were without power for. I'm half way through a fishless cycle on a 55g. What are the chances I lost all the beneficial bacteria due to no flow through the filter?

I'm currently at the second stage of a fishless cycle on my 55 gallon. Ammonia is converting within 12 hours at this point, just waiting for nitrites to start going down. I've noticed twice today that my canister (Fluval 305) was working very loud for a while and the flow is decreased, so I'm...

I'm currently in the middle of a fishless cycle on my 200l tank. I'm adding ammonia and using the "add and wait" method. My water is stained with tannins from my driftwood at the moment (boiled and soaked previously). I'm adding a picture of before and after to give you an idea on the colour of...

Could anyone help me ID this plant?

Hi everyone! I've just started cycling my new 55g tank. I'm getting some 9.5% ammonia later on today (doing a fishless cycle). My question is, I've already added in 3 days worth of Nutrafin Cycle (before reading how useless it is). Do I have to do a large water change to get rid of the NC before...

Do I need to take Seachem Purigen out of my filter if I'm using Interpet's General Tonic?

Hi there! I just got offered a 20g (long) tank from a friend who lost all his fish and gave up on the hobby. I already have a fully stocked 16g community tank so I'm excited to get new fish! I've done some research but would like to hear your opinions and advice! 1st question - would this...

Hi there! I got a hospital tank today (24litre or 6.3gal) as I need to treat two of my platies for velvet. The tank is obviously not cycled but I used water from my community tank and moved some media into the filter that the tank came with (JEBO Q116). I'm confused as to what to do with water...

Do these look like snail eggs or dwarf gourami eggs? All my other fish are livebearers.

Please help! I'm having my first problem with fish since I got my tank. I'm sorry this is so long! I added 2 female guppies and 1 female platy to my tank 10 days ago to fix a male/female ratio problem I had. I bought these at Pets At Home, all the fish in their tanks looked healthy. The only...

I'm looking to buy an external filter for my 64l (17gal) tank as I'm not happy with how much space the internal one takes up in the tank. I researched all the external filters under £70 and narrowed the results down to these two: Fluval 106 TetraTec EX600 Preferences? Opinions? Advice? Thank you!

So I'm about 2 months into my fish in cycle. I've been doing very frequent water changes and testing water every day/every other day. Ammonia finally settled at 0-0.25ppm last week, then nitrites went up with nitrates at 0ppm, 2 days later nitrites 0ppm and nitrites 5ppm, today amm 0.25ppm...

I bought my platies from a LFS about 7 weeks ago, the next day I noticed one of them was a bit bigger than the others. She got much bigger over the weeks, then last week I found fry in the tank. i saw three but only managed to save one and put it in a breeder net. One of them got eaten right in...

Help! I found platy babies in my tank! I have no idea how this happened, I must have bought a pregnant platy (I did think she was a bit fat lol). My son's been in hospital in ICU for 3 weeks and will be for another 7 wks at least, so my mother in law has been feeding my fish and doing water...

Hi all! This is my first post in this forum. I'm a newbie and have a 64 litre tank. When I was setting it up, I used tap water with dechlorinator. The water was crystal clear until I added live plants, then it clouded over for two days and cleared again. I let the tank run for a week and took a...

Hi everyone! I'm new to fish keeping. Wanted to get my fish loving toddler a fish tank and thought if I'm getting fish, I might as well go all out and do it properly! I have a 64 litre fishbox with day and night lights, Interpet filter with Venturi, heater, live plants, and an air pump and air...
