Hi there, I have a 40l planted tank. It’s well established, I’ve had the fish (endlers livebearers) just over a year now. I did a water change yesterday and checked parameters and it’s all good. One of the fish is staying at the bottom of the tank and only swims a few cms up before resting on...

I’ve got a Superfish Home 45, the light is 12w LED blue and/or white, I have it on for about 10 hours a day. The tank is shaded by a wardrobe, it’s not in direct sunlight. I add the aqua care bio boost and tap water conditioner after every water change. I’ve just cut back the middle plant as...

Hi all, my parents tended to my tank for 2 weeks while I was moving house and during that time there’s been an algae bloom (I think). Its a white fuzz on some of the leaves and particularly on the one plant in the photo. The tank was cleaned throughly 2 weeks ago and all the tests were fine. Is...

I have a tank with endlers and cherry shrimp, all was fine until I bought a new plant and it must have come with a free hitchhiking snail. I know snails can be beneficial in tanks so I let it stay not realising they don't need another male/female to breed so I woke up to a load of baby snails...

Great thank you! They’re been together in the tank for 8 hours now and they still follow him around but I haven’t seen any nipping or signs of aggression. Do you think after a while this will stop? Is it likely to be distressing him?

I have an established planted tank with all male Endlers, I bought some more fish today from the same place as before and was reassured they are all males as they don’t keep females. I was a bit confused because the first time I bought the fish the guy spent ages fishing out only males but now...

I’ve currently got 5 male endlers and 2 shrimp in my planted 40 litre tank, I didn’t want to overload it straight away so I’ll wait a few weeks before adding more. When researching every answer is different. How many male endlers and shrimp could live together happily in my tank?
