Thanks Colin, I’ll try to get a pic of them ASAP as they’re both a bit skittish. I’ve got an auto light that does sunrise to sunset and it is gradual, but I’m not sure whether it’s still started stressing them out. Could be the light in the room as we have had it replaced quite recently and it...

Also I’ve not added anything new to the tank apart from the shrimp and the other fish have been in there for months.

hi all I have a 230L tropical tank at 25C containing: 13 x glass catfish 8 x neon tetra 6 x bronze corydora 2 x Pearl gourami 1 x giant African fan shrimp Had set up for 6+ months fully cycled etc. Got the shrimp last week and he’s disappeared. Been looking for days but haven’t seen him...

Unfortunately they both died after a few days, but I hope you’re gets better! :)

It’s weird because the tank has been up and running for over 6 months. About 3 months I had a pH crash but I’m monitoring the pH closely now and all is fine. A couple months ago it started appearing around when I was feeding live food. Do you think it’s just been a delayed reaction perhaps...

Sorry for the late reply peeps! Been waiting for it to grow back to a decent amount. Hard to get the colour correct using my camera but I’ve tried! Please see pics :)

Good to hear :)

Okay, I’m not arguing... only sharing my experience with them I must have gotten lucky with all of mine

Interesting, the fancies in my pond have always seemed to do really well compared to when they were in a tank. And I’m in the north of England. Even in winter!

Thanks Colin Tank I was thinking of using is: 116cm (L) x 38cm (D) x 60cm (H) 3 ft 9.6 inch (L) x 14.9 inches (D) x 23.6 inches (H) Think that is pushing it?

hi I’ve got some weird copper coloured algae growing in my tank. Never had algae that’s not been green before. Seemed to appear from my daphnia tank when I added some in from a while ago. Cut down on feeding. Has anyone seen it before and knows if it’s safe? I can add a pic when it...

hi all I’m thinking of potentially setting up a blackwater discus tank. I don’t see much on the forum around discus - does anyone have any experience keeping these? Would a 200L tank be ok for a small group of them? Just looking for any ideas at the moment. Not something I’m planning to...
