Ive recently upgraded my tank and moved across all my fish, currently I have 5 pandas & 4 Kuhili Loaches, I was wanting to add some larger fish and was considering a Red Tail, would he be ok with the cats & Kuhilis or should I get something else?

Hello all, I'm looking in to setting up a tank to house a single Red Tailed shark. I've read around and can't seem to get any good information as for tank mates. Everything I read seems to co tidily from one source to the next, some say they need lots of space others say slightly overstock to...

Hi and welcome to my (mums) aquarium build thread. The tank is going to be a Christmas present so I've got plenty of time to get this tank right :) So far I have the tank plus what ever came with it. And the official Marina 95 aquarium stand on order! :) Here's the tank specifications...

Mums tank again... So because I moved the comets into the pond she decided she had room for another fish before she upgrades at Christmas... She said it was labeled as "sucker loach" :@ it was in the cold water section of the store. I'm going out to the store with her later to get the...

Quick question, I've got another thread about stocking etc. So I've got a new tank for My mum for Christmas. It's 31x12x16. But the area the tank will be going is 28" long. Would it be ok to have 1.5" overhand either end of the tank or would it end in disaster? Thanks.

So my mums tank that I have posted here about before used to house 2 comets, and around 15 mixed danios/WCMM. Well I finally convinced her to move the comets into the pond in our garden it's not huge but it's plenty big enough. There's now 3 goldfish in there. My mums two at around 4-5" and my...

OK so here's the current condition of my plants :( I have on order sachem flourish/excel. Is there anything else I need to help my plants?

Ok so to make a long story short, my tank was 90% stocked. But I lost a few inverts And recently lost a guppy to a filter :/ he swam behind it and got trapped poor thing. :( So I've been on AqAdvisor and I'm now only 83% stocked. I did a few options and I can have another guppy :) + 5 neon...

Recently my ferns have been looking 'tired'? For lack of a better word, they just don't seem as bright and full of life as they did, also the flower I had on my anubias has died off. (Not sure if this means anything) My tank is a 15g and has; 4x java ferns 1x anubias 2x marimo moss ball 2x...

Just looking for some basic knowledge, What size tank should you have before thinking about a sump? What's the advantages of a sump? " Disadvantages. ". DIY or store brought what's best? Thanks in advance :)

Noticed one out of my pair of golden honey gourami has gotten a little pale. She/he is still acting normal, eating/swimming normal, I haven't noticed any aggression anywhere, My water checks out fine and I haven't added any new fish or decor for a while. Haven't changed the food or anything...

Not sure exactly where to put this thread so if it needs moving feel free :). Ok I think I'm finished? Let me know if I'm not haha. So a short introduction; while setting up our tanks I'm sure that at some point or another we have all considered a rare and exotic fish? Well I decided to do...

Is this anubias or java fern? I've tried researching the web but can't get any answers. Which of the two would self set? I'm gonna try and let it grow if I can avoid it when I vac lol. :p

I got back from work and noticed I had 2 red cherrywood dead on the bottom of my tank, I then noticed my heater had failed and my tank was at 61.... Could this of killed the shrimp? All my fish are ok, and seem to be acting normal but as of yet I've not investigated the other shrimp who I'm...

My friend recently upgraded his lighting to a custom LED set up, and has given me his old bulb. It's the same size as mine 15" and looks the same but it gives a different light out (does that make any sense?) Here's the pictures side by side, I have anubias and java fern in my tank so which...

My anubias started to flower, so I'm taking that as a sign my plants are happy :) just wanted to share this with you guys its my first flower.

When I was stocking my tank I did a lot of research and asked a lot of questions, and one of the problems I had was fish that wouldn't eat my shrimp. Anyway I was told that there was a good chance that gouramis would eat my red cherry shrimp... Well.... I dropped half an algae wafer into my...

Hey AA, so I've just recently finished my first ever tank it's a 15g semi planted community tank, I made a full thread about it and there's a photo timeline on my profile. Anyway I had such an amazing time setting up the tank and no my fish are happy and so am I, me and my fiancée are buying a...

Could I keep a dwarf gourami in my 15gal planted tank? Currently it has cherry shrimp, 6 neons and 3 harlequins. I was going to add a Betta but might switch to a dwarf gourami if that's an option? I've read conflicting things on the Internet some say you can keep a single male some say they...

I brought 5 java ferns and some moss from a online retailer and they arrived today but so e of the plants have brown spots and some don't is this normal? I'm soaking them all at the minute and watching for hitchhiking snails before I add them to my tank.

Saw this image today whilst trawling the Internet and I like the concept although it would need a place for 360' viewing. And I can only imagine cleaning the pipes to be an absolute nightmare but still I thought it was interesting and deserved sharing. I think it's probably about 75- 100gal...

So I've been trawling breeders, local fish stores and the beloved interweb for halfmoon male betta juvaniles. And I've narrowed my selection down to these. They are all around 12-20 weeks old (or so I'm told) and I can't decide so I'm asking the experts ( that's you ) I think they all look...

I already have 11 RCS in my tank and I'm wondering if to add snails and have the two as a combined clean up crew or if I would be better getting 5 kuhli loaches instead. Stocking is not an issue and there's nothing in the tank but the shrimp at the minute. What's better purely for a clean up crew?

I'm going to be getting a single male betta and Ive read that they prefer live food, but would I be ok feeding a mixture of freeze dried and flake?

Can you keep bettas and male guppies together? Or will the betta get territorial because of the guppies colourful fins?
