Hi Wilder!   Well I've moved everyone bar one back to the main tank. The second cory to become ill (had a cloudy and and gill plate) looks like he'll make a full recovery (fingers crossed!) however after having improved for several days, the last of thre three "lethargic corys" has started to...

I dunno, I'm tempted to go ahead and do it now but I think the remaining two are probably happier with the larger group...

Nope not here yet but yes I think I'll keep up with the water changes and salt and see how we get on

Thanks guys, I was lucky to find such a large piece of redmoor that I could actually afford lol. The tank is 4 ft x 18" x 2ft so it's been a mission to find something. I am very pleased with the results.   There's quite a bit of giant vallis in there so I'm looking forward to the change in maybe...

Same, my guys love w/c day. I refill with temperature matched water straight from my kitchen tap so I'm able to aim the pipe in a way that doesn't cause massive distrubance - maybe that helps :)

A sunken belly is usually a sign of internal bacteria or parasite infection. Unfortunately I'm not great at disease diagnoses but I would be concerned. 

Hi folks - Just thought I would share some pictures of my minor rescape here. Let me know what you think  See my journal for more of this tank's journey.  Before: After:

Here we are! Pardon the bubbles, I didn't feel like cleaning them off The background needs to be fiddled with but we're redecorating soon so I'll fix it when I pull the tank out to paint.            This guy is certainly happy about the addition of some decent wood!    

Lots of fishkeepers keep bare-bottomed tanks. Especially those with a lot of tanks and multiple breeding set ups. It helps in keeping the tanks clean and for those running a big breeding operation the tanks aren't set up for aesthetics. When we add a substrate, for the most part, it's for us to...

It's about swimming space for the tetras and being able to keep them in big enough groups. Whereas frogs don't need a massive amount of swimming space and can be kept on their own.

Woo! New wood is in! I spent ages messing around with the planting and I'm pretty pleased with the result :D   Pictures once the dust settles 

Hi guys, just thought I'd give you a little update.   I lost another of the lethargic ones last night but I always kind of knew it wasn't going to make it so I'm relieved in a way.    The last of the "lethargic ones" this one has never shown any symptoms apart from not moving (It never even had...

I did lose one more last night but in a way it's a relief because I knew it wouldn't recover. The other two might be showing signs of improvement but I don't know if that's me just being optimistic!    I have an HTC One. Some of the pictures are from my standard digital camera which is  Fuji...

TBH you don't really need a "tank cleaner" and at that size those plecos were unlikely to be doing much cleaning anyway. But if you want a pleco, a bristlenose would fit in well. 

I'll have to pick up a copy, I think my LFS gets them in :)
