    Hi! This is my first fish tank, itā€™s a heavily planted 7 gallon, and for stocking I have some snails, 2 ghost shrimp, and 10 phoenix and strawberry Rasbora. I feed them everyday a little pinch of fish flakes, and about 1-2 times a week I give them brine shrimp. I have had this tank setup for...

    Deciding on the right puffer

    Hi Iā€™m researching the best puffer to put in my 10 gallon tank. Because I donā€™t really want to upgrade the tank(I have no space at homešŸ˜¢) itā€™s either a couple pea puffers or a figure 8 puffer. But I havenā€™t seen anyone have one in a 10 gal so I donā€™t know if it would be ok. It has plants and has...

    Syphon recommendations?

    Everyone is saying I need to give my tank a water change, but I have no idea what syphon to use. The main thing is putting fresh water back in, my tank is 128cm off the floor, and far away from any tap. Using a jug for 200l is definitely a full body work out, and is very time consuming. I...

    Needing Zebra Danios Breeding Advice

    I'm planning on breeding some zebra danios, and I have found that most resources recommend putting a large clump of java moss (or really any free floating plant) in the breeding tank. Do I have to put the java moss in, or will they still breed without it? Are there any alternatives? Any help...

    Why do my fish keep dying

    Hi, I seem to be having an issue with my tank and so far every fish Iā€™ve got has died after a few weeks. I have cycled the tank, checked all levels are ā€˜goodā€™ and the only issue I can think of is that our water is hard with a PH of 8. I have had two bettas (not at the same time) but after...

    70 Litre (18 Gallon) Tank Restart

    Yesterday, I came to the decision to swap my tank from cold water to tropical. I sold my WCMM and Corydoras, and now have an 18 Gallon tank empty and ready for a fresh start. I done a 95% water change and did not wash the substrate so as not to have to cycle again, though I suspect I may go...
