Hi all, I've had my tank set up fully cycled etc for the best part of 4 months now and I love it! However, I have decided I would like to have a virtually full tank of Cherry shrimp instead as the main stock, and I'd like to get some sand instead of the blue gravel I'm using. I would like to...

Hiya, I've already changed the water, and the water was ammonia and nitrite readings were already 0ppm. so I don't see how that could help the situation, and the gill is still red and wide open. on a side note: the lime tetras are happily shoaling with the neon tetras I'd really like to know...

what should I do? please help

Hello all, I have had my tank set up for about 6 weeks now and I have gradually been increasing my stock, but I have found this morning that one of my neon tetras appears to have had its gill 'protector thing' ripped open, exposing the gill stacks inside which are red. I also noticed a white...

Hello there, I have 1 cherry shrimp (hoping to expand as soon as the shop get more) but they are about 3 cm long, and, like you I also have neon tetras, and they haven't bothered the shrimp at all. I don't know about the other fish, but neons, in my experience, are compatible. Although I would...

aghh, sorry guys, forgot this info! Tank is 68ltrs about 17 us gallons The danios havn't touched the betta, and the betta seems to be really laid back, he's scared of the cherry shrimp in there! I called him ferrari cause he's red :rolleyes: I'm aware that guppies plus betta = a big no, so...

Hello all, this is going to sound daft, but I'd like to know if there are any White and Yellow/green fish out there -_- I know people generally go on what fish they like, but I would really like a couple of yellow and white fish to fit in with my tank. In there so far: 2 zebra Danios 5 neon...

I've kept 5 neon tetras for my fish in cycle, they were intrroduced week 2 of 4, and I must say, *touch wood* all are absolutley fine and are doing well, none have died like I expected them to, but 2 swim around on their own, don't know why, btu I may up their number slightly

Alot of water changes for the next 3 weeks! I have recently just finished my fish in cycle, though I had 2 danios, and 5 neon teras and a cherry shrimp, all made it but a guppy and anotehr shrimp. I changed 50% of my water daily to just try and keep my ammonia under control, even with 2 danios...

otos...Brilliant suggestion thanks! I had been looking into plecos, but saw how big they grew, these otos seem ideal! thanks FHM any other fish suggestions whilst we are at it? GuppyGoddess, thanks for the heads up, I will continue to research the betta and the neons, and will definatley weigh...

Hello all, my Aquarium has now finished its Fish in cycle, although it wasn't ideal, I lost 1 fish and 1 shrimp in the process, so now I'm looking for more fish to add - slowly of course Tank 68 litres (17 Gallons) Temp 25.5 (Degrees 79 F) Currently I have: 2 Zebra Danios 5 Neon Tetras 1...

the dealer is wrong, you need to get your ammonia and nitrite levels down, I don't know how high they are, but I imagine they'll be high. a big water change at least every other day for at least 4 weeks will help keep these down and protect the fishes gills, you need to get your filter bacteria...

I'm no expert, but from what you've said, you haven't cycled the tank, and you have 10 fish in there? I made the same mistake, but I had 2 fish in, even then I had to change my water by 50% everyday for the first 3 weeks, and this last week I've done it every other day now my cycle is complete...

Hello all, I've had my fish in cycle tank for about 4 weeks now, and have noticed that my Zebra Danios were getting quite fat, I put it down to the fact that I had 2 females, but now their bellies are huge, the only other fish in there are neon tetras, and afaik, they can't breed. I heard they...
