we only have the one severum and he's only a baby so eggs or the tank size is not a problem, the problem was with the gold gourami shortly after he was introduced to the tank, the other gourami's are fine and well, shortly after i posted the message the fish fell to the bottom of the tank and...

unfortunatly shortly after i posted the message the fish died. im just gonna have to put it down to a sick fish as he was only in the tank for a max of 3 hours, all the other fish are fine and behaving normally. it could just be that it had a knock or somethin when the guy was cathcing it in the...

hi guys. i had my tank set up for a few months now and previously posted a topic about high nitrates. with varied plans of action the problem is better but still not resolved so i have put in some live plants to help the process and i was just wondering how long i should leave my light on per...

will get the exact levels off everythin tomo and will post the results to try and find out a possible solution. they only tested for nitrate today because thats what they think the problem is.

thanks, i not rinsed then out for 2 weeks. will do that today. see if that inproves anythin slightly. will consisstant water changes of 30% bring the levels down without adding any chemicals
