It’ll be filled fully, I will build a lid for it eventually just in case of jumping fish too 😅no think a HOB filter is the go for me, gives more room inside the tank too. Appreciate your help, thank you! I’ll check out the description for that one, see if it’s a decent fit!

This tank actually is 35 inches across the front! It measures 35 x 8 x 8.5 (inches) so quite small but it’ll be primarily nano fish and low stocked anyways. Yeah hillstreams would be the dream but gotta do a lot more research and figure out what’ll be most suitable still, I appreciate your...

I was honestly really hoping for hillstream loaches, everything else would work around them pretty much. It doesn’t need to be torrential river, I just want enough flow to keep the little guys happy really. Otherwise if I can’t achieve the high flow I’ll scrap those and go with something...

Hi all, I’m in the process of setting up a 90cm river-style tank, only holds about 10 gallons as it’s very shallow and narrow. I’ve seen similar setups in here of people using a manifold system for filtration and flow, but I was hoping to get more inspiration on other setups that require a...

Sorry for the miscommunication, I only plan to keep one of those species. Leaning towards the White Clouds atm as Medeka are not too common around here and Gold and Rosy barbs may be too much for a small unfiltered pond. I'm in NSW, we've had weeks or rainfall and flooding that has finally let...

Husky and rough/smooth collie? The shaping and floppy ends of the ears really point me towards collie, and they also come in merle.

Today, I spent the day digging a pond after finding an old pool liner and having the great idea of adding a water feature to my greenhouse...I figured, what's the worst that could happen? At least I'm not wasting my money if things don't go to plan. Anyways, after a long couple hours, I...

Thank you all, I'll start with the net after dark method. I'm really hoping this works. This pond is much smaller, with a capacity of about 4000 litres. It was meant as a temporary home for the koi until they could no longer be eaten by the other full-grown koi in the mud pond. The bottom is...

My koi fry have reached the age and size where they are able to be moved to my mud pond with a capacity of around 50,000 litres (is this able to hold 10-15 full-grown koi? No filtration, but planted with lillies and other plants and frequent rainfall with an average of around 200ml/month)...

I'm curious to see what you all would own if you ever had the chance, disregarding the realistic side of things. Here are my questions: The most unusual fish you'd own? Your favourite fish you'd own? Your favourite MARINE fish you'd own? Your favourite aquatic creature (non-fish) you'd own?

Did you cycle your tank before getting the fish? If not, here is a link to help; https://www.fishforums.net/threads/cycle-your-tank-a-complete-guide-for-beginners.475055/

Hi, what type of filter are you using? Sponge, canister, internal, hang on back? If it's any type of external filter where the water had no way of getting back into the tank, chances are it had just gotten a bit cloudy from the waste in the filter. Often during/after a power loss, it's suggested...
