Hi there, Think about it :kana: if you had no gravel,you wouldnt have an undergravel filter,so would have to be in the sponge/filter media of the filter you were using....make sense?

Hi, I would say its the Plecs,mainly because they are very clumsy fish and tend to knock over anything and everything that gets in their way and they tend to be more active at night,seems thats when its getting done?

Hi Tweety, Im worried about the water being cloudy,you say it was cycled but Im not so sure it was and how many fish did you introduce at first? you should never put neons in a NEW set-up,you have only lost 3 are the others doing OK?, are you sure that the filter is working Ok? water changes...

Hi there,I use an ultra-violet filter in my outside pond to great effect and I have heard of them being used in indoor situations but Im not convinced they are needed,its an entirely different situation isnt it? what they do is to breakdown algae that is floating in the water and it forms into...

In response to reg2k2, about the condition of the shrimp well who knows whether its good or bad? its just comes in frozen blocks as you probably know,and I thaw it out and straight into the tank, the fish won't mind too much :D they get fed frozen bloodworm too, your explanation about the...
