Hi everyone, Just wondering how long I could turn my filters off before the BB starts to die off? Thanks Sent from anteatergoanna's burrow

Hi fellow fishies, I am new to the whole shrimp thing. I've got 2 cycled fish tanks, if I take media from all filters and use tank water ( only have 25 Ltr tank for shrimp), can I put the shrimp straight in the tank, or are they hardy enough to go into a un- cycled tank. Any tips and hints would...

Hi all, Could someone help with the sex of my beautiful Angel? I think it's a female, but I'm not experienced enough to be sure. Thanks Sent from anteatergoanna's burrow

Hi all, I would like to make some caves out of lava rock. Firstly, can I put lava rock in my aquarium, and what affect, if any, would it have on my water parameters? Has anyone made structures from lava rock? If so could you post a picture, so that I could get some ideas? Really not sure how to...

Hi all, I'm really worried about my catfish, he has these whitish marks on him. I know he's had a couple of run ins with my BGK, I know he didn't have these marks before I got the GK, which was a couple of weeks ago. All of my other fish are okay, no marks eating well. Playing around, like they...

I know that a lot of people are using Organic Potting Mix, I went to my LGS and they had run out, but they had the above, would that be suitable for the aquarium ? I plant my plants in pots, so it would be in a pot with gravel on top. Any responses would be appreciated...thank you

Hi all, just a quicky lol...Will my loaches eat Mystery snail eggs? I want to put 2 snails in my other tank ( not the tank that has loaches in), but I don't want to be over run, thought if they lay eggs, I can scrape them off and feed them to the "boys". Thank you

Hey everyone, I have some driftwood that just won't sink!! I've had it soaking for weeks, unfortunately I don't have a pot big enough to boil it. I have drilled holes in it but not sure what to tie it down. My husband wants to put fish sinkers on it, but I'm worried that the iron will leech...

Hi all, I have a few low light plants in my tank, I'm just wondering what could I put in there for minerals? I don't think they are getting enough from my tap water, I dose with flourish, and put in a root tab very so often ( not sure how often I should use them). I am waiting for a co2 system...

I have read a lot that people move their Angelfish into a breeding tank when they have paired off. Doesn't this stress the fish being netted then put into a different smaller tank? I am new to the whole breeding thing, so any tips would be good. I have 6 Angels, they are, at the moment, too...

I am after a few FLOATING plants, that are hardy and good growers. I,m not interested in Duckweed, makes such a {mod edit} mess! I would be interested in your ideas. Thank you

I have started to cycle my 4 ft tank with TSS, yesterday I put the whole bottle into the tank and 2 hrs later added 6 cherry barbs, 2 platys, I was told I could add more, but thought (hoped), that a smaller number would be easier. SO....I tested the water this morning and the readings are PH 7.4...

Hi, I'm doing a Seachem Stability cycle. How many fish do I add to the tank.? I am at day 4, I am thinking of adding Guppies, but I'm not how many. My tank is 220ltr. Obviously, the hardier the fish the better. Thanks

I have some Clown Loaches in one of my tanks, I would love a Cychlid or 2 as well, but are they all aggressive? Is there one that would especially suit sharing a tank with my boys? Would appreciate your views.....thanks

Hi all, OMG i have bought yet another tank, I now have a 3ft, 4ft. 6ft, and a 25 Ltr. No one told me that fish keeping was addictive!! LOL.....now to my questions: I currently have 2 large Mystery Snails in my 20 Ltr (have to wc every 2 days) and was looking at putting them into my 4ft tank...

Okay, I'm getting a bit nervous about using sand because of these pockets that could form, and would kill my fish if disturbed. Would an Eel prevent this from happening? They like to dig and bury themselves, so would this be enough to stop these pockets of foul air? I have Clown Loaches and they...

I have a 20ltr tank not doing much. Should I set it up as a QT just in case I may need it in the future? If so, how do I keep it cycled with out fish in it? Or should I put a couple of healthy fish in it and take them out and put into main tank, if I need it as a QT? Appreciate your views. Thank you

Hi all, I bought some lovely moss balls 2 weeks ago and have had them in a bowl in dechlorinated water for that time. Is it safe to put them in my tank now? Nothing has crawled out of them, they appear to be very clean. Thanks

Just fed my fish some red capsicum, can't believe it, they love it!! I feed them cucumber / zucchini and peas, and they like that but they are really getting into the cap!

Hi Groovers, Has anyone used the above cubes? Just wondering if they are as good as they are cracked up to be. If you google the topic you can see for yourself what they are saying....if you can believe even half of the reviews, it must be pretty good! Nitra Guard is by Orca Lab, it can be used...

I think it would be a great help if ,how much the fish contributes to the bio load of the tank, could be added to the profile, that's if it's known. I know Angel Fish don't add much. Just a suggestion. Thanks

I was just told by a member that Daphnia (water fleas , though not really fleas) is good food for Angel Fish. If you are in Australia and want to get some, you can buy them through Southern Biological at southernbiological.com. They are located in Victoria.

Hi everyone, well I have some verrrry fussy Angels, they won't eat peas, zucchini, cucumber, any ideas what else I can try, especially to help prevent constipation? They are fed pellets (soaked to soften), frozen bloodworm mix and flakes. I feed them every second day, I have loaches as well...

Hi, I've got 3 questions, 1. Is UV lighting worth it, pro's & con's 2. I have a 240 Ltr tank, freshwater, I am really interested in doing a DIY sump, can anyone help me, I have no idea what to do, so it would be a "DIY Sump for Dummies" lol ... I have searched google and just got confused...
