Now that my tank is a year old, I've decided to give it a thread, will basically be progress pics ( not that it really changes much ) and new additions, nothing too technical cos I don't pretend to know more than I do, I have a very basic understanding of how to keep fish and that's how I like...

Did a bit of lfs stalking on the weekend searching for pressured co2 setups, wasn't very much tbh but the 2 I did find were an 'Aqua one nano' all in 1 kit at $100 average that included a regulator, a disposable 95g bottle with stand, defuser, co2 tester and some hose, now the replacement...

Until recently I've not really been interested in shrimp but now that I have a tank where the biggest fish will be rummy nose I've started contemplating them, done a bit of reading regarding them with the existing fish and every new thing I read seems to contradict the last so was hoping for a...

Approx 3 cm long .5cm diameter clear to opaque exterior with a more solid white inside, kinda looks like a tube of sorts 3 days ago I saw something like this hanging out of the vent of my 4inch male discus, 1 day after starting a batch of eggs with my female discus, I thought it was male stuff...

i put this stuff in my main tank, fully stocked ( probably a bit overstocked tbh ) low tech semi planted. The directions on the container said nothing about the effects it has on plants and BB, it was only after i put it in i did my research, ( i know i know !) deciding the reason i put it in...

So yesterday I nearly started a topic asking 'how do I know if my discus have paired' with this pic tonight I need to ask a different question, what do I do now also is there any physical differences that define male and female eg: the blue 1 now has bump in front of its pelvic fin, does that...

A couple days ago i was sitting in front of 1 of my tanks, watching the smallest of my discus ( who has been a bit of a bully lately ) when i noticed it looked to suck water into its mouth more rapid than normal, it did it 4 times and each time i heard a click, it was in the middle of the tank...

A few weeks ago i added a tiny bn plec to my 90ltr, turns out the little bastard had ich, the first i saw it my marble hatchets had a few spots and upon closer inspection, so did my neons, the first time i had ich i was told to use formalin which lets just say, was not good (it took ages and i...

How long does bb take to die off in a canister filter when theres a blackout? I ask this because thats my current situation and the estimated period without power is 5 hours Sorry if this topic has been covered before

I'm having an issue with my pacific blue eyes, ive lost 3 in the last few days and 1 a week or so ago ( all males ) and by the look of it, im about to lose another, i also lost a Celebes rainbow about 2 weeks back and a SAE this morning, ive come to notice the rapid breathing and basically...

Yesterday while trying to weigh down somenew dw, the thing rolled on me dropping a decent size rock into the rear glass, the damage is noticeable the tank is 700ltrs/190 US gal the glass is 12mm thick, the damage is about 2mm high, 1.5mm wide and at best guess, maximum 1 mm deep, it's about 1/3...

This may be a long shot but I was wondering if any1 can identify this gravid fish, yesterday I bought a few pacific blue eyes, this female was in the tank with them and the dude decided to throw her in for free, now to me she looks nothing like a pacific blue eye, sorry bout the pic but she just...

The wife just agreed to allow me to get a bigger tank, took her a while to come around, no doubt due to the tank I had my eyes on, here it is in my lfs 750ltrs, I'm upsizing from 250ltrs, my rainbows are gunna love it ( I hope ) Tank+stand L:181cms H:169cms D:64cms Its soooo sweet!!!

I want to fill the empty space above the harlequin rasboras in my 90ltr tank and I want to do it with hatchet fish, just wondering of anyone has experience with them, I've done a fair bit or research and everything I've read suggests they're prone to ich when introducing them to a tank, reason...

Decided to switch my bn pleco for 4 oto's today, brought them home, acclimated them to my tank for half hour, tipped them into my net then into the tank, 2 went in without a problem, 1 took a couple seconds but the 4th was stuck good and proper, I gently shook, I expanded the net, I collapsed...

So I've got a bucket in my backyard that gets all my old filter floss and the plants I don't want anymore or that have been destroyed by my fish, it's probably got a bit of fishtank water in it but mostly rain water and it's full, it also has an old fish net hanging out of it and the other day I...

So the young guy at work has bought himself a tank, i had an idea he was going to so i bought some extra bio noodles and threw them in my filter the other day with the intention of giving him some of my existing, having never done this before im a little nervous about removing a % of my bb...

When i started my first proper tank 6 months ago i didnt really have any idea about the selection of fish available at any lfs, i only really upgraded my tank to 290 ltrs cos my two fancy goldfish looked a little cramped in a 15 ltr without filter, i had no idea of anything before the tank was...

Bout a week ago i brought home 2 celestial pearl danios to add to the 5 already in my tank, 1 was almost full grown, the other was quite small ( i just took the 1s the guy could catch ) the big 1 was a hit with the rest, upon closer inspection and a little research, i worked out she was a she...

Any1 had a problem with their gbr nipping at other species? He used to just chase the female gbr but now hes turned his attention to the other fish in the tank, even the danios avoid him, its a 290ltr tank and its happening all over so u wouldnt think territory was an issue, ive had him for...

After cycling my 90ltr with 10 neons we decided on some harlequin rasbora and 2 dwarf gourami as the center piece, the male dg died from wounds (in a hospital tank) sustained from attacks from the female, once he was gone she turned her aggression to the harlequins which i wasnt going to put up...

Was just hoping for identification on these things, there's 4 on his pelvic fin, 1 on his tail fin and 1 on his dorsal fin, the stringy things are about 2mm long, he doesn't seem to b effected in anyway though 2 days ago I did see him flash for the first time since I've had him, only the 1...

2 days after getting the center pieces for my 90lt, a male and a female dwarf gourami, he started showing signs of what i thought was a fungal infection on the base of his dorsal fin, pimafix and melafix for 3 days didnt do anything, if fact it was getting worse, not only was it on the fin but...

Freshwater tank Fake plants I first saw this little bugger a cpl weeks ago, though back then it was white and about half the size, not really sure where it came from, I know I didn't pay for it. Sorry bout the quality of the photo.. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Having successfully set up my first ever "real" fishtank (290 lts) and it being sweet 3 months later, i talked her into letting me start a 2nd, smaller tank ( 90 lts ). I followed the same, fish in cycle method as the first time except i kick started it with some bio-media, water and a couple...
