Hey guys, I need some advice. I bought a juvenile royal plec yesterday and everything seemed fine as I acclimated him and added him to my tank. The thing that's concerning me is that I haven't seen anything of him since, I mean it's literally like he's disappeared. Would you guys consider that...

Hey guys, I'm currently cycling my second tank. I've gone fishless this time. I was given bad advice by the guys at the pet store last time but have since joined this forum and now know better. The tank has been cycling for about 10 days and it's not converting major amounts of ammonia yet...

Hey guys, I have a 200 litre tank with 8 corys and 5 angels. I really like my angels but didn't realise when I got them that they can be quite aggressive and I'm gonna need to be careful what I put in the tank with them. I like fish with a bit of personality. I'm hoping that you guys are gonna...

OMG snails everywhere overnight, guys please give me some options for getting rid. I noticed one on the glass last night and took him out thinking that would be that. This morning I was faced with about six of his buddy's. Guess maybe they formed a search party. How can I stop this situation...

Hey everyone, I've just finished cycling my 200 litre tank and would appreciate as many ideas as possible for creating a peaceful but lively community tank. I'm a bit of a novice so you guys ideas would be greatly appreciated. More the merrier Cheers guys

Hi, does anyone know if cloudy water in a cycling tank could mean that the bacteria are actually in the water and have yet to attach themselves to the gravel, filter etc. and if so does that mean that as it clears they have found homes for themselves??

I'm wondering roughly how long from the time you collect it, the bacteria will survive in a piece of mature filter sponge. I've added mature media to my filter with no signs of it helping my cycling process. It took me about an hour to get it home

Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows if I can use tetra safe start straight after a water change where I've used aqua safe or do I need to wait?

I'm on the verge of giving up on my tank? I'm cycling with fish in owing to the great advice of the staff at pets at home. I'm not getting anywhere at all, I'm gonna try adding safestart today. I know many of you say the bottled bacteria are a waste of money but there's gotta be some success...

I'm cycling a 200 litre tank and just went to my Lfs for some media. When I was putting it into the filter I noticed my filter pads are going a kind of pinkish colour????? Is this normal? I really am so confused, getting a tank set up is so much more complex than I ever imagined

I'm in the midst of a fish in cycle and using prime to help detoxify the water for my fish. My question is at 0.5 ammonia should I dose with prime or water change? If I need to change the water, how much should I replace?

Hi all, I'm new to this forum so just a quick introduction. I bought a roma 200 litre aquarium on Thursday and was told by the guys at the pet store to run it for 3 days then come and get some fish which I did. I have now read all about the fishless cycle which would have been preferable but I...

Hey everyone, I'm new to fish keeping and like so many of us I was given the advice that I could add fish after tank was running for three days. I'm now in the middle of a fish in cycle and just want to know if I can speed it up in anyway. The guy at my Lfs told me to add aquavital bactosprint...
