Evening guys!   I have a bit of a problem, I have a 10 galloon tank which has been set up and running smoothly for 6 months now.   I change 25% of the water once, sometimes twice a week. My water tests are always good!   However I have came home from work today and seem to have some sort of...

I feed them a pinch of tetramin every day! And twice a week some bloodworms! It's really odd as the other fish are all good. He's still the same and it's been a good 3-4 hours and if anything it's getting larger so I will have to euthanise him :(

Afternoon guys hope you had a good christmas I have had my tank up and running now for 3-4 months, all has been going really well, water stats are all spot on, fish all seem healthy and happy, I had one clown loach die last month with no reason why. However, one of my diamond flame tetras is...

Ok, understand your point! So just to clear something up, what else can you put into a goldfish tank with no heater/filter? Not regarding the size of the tank?

and if I were to give her my old 20 gallon tank and put the goldfish in there what could I add then....?

Hi guys Story is I'd like to get my sister something extra for her current 10 gallon tank (for Xmas) which houses one gold fish (the other died last year). She's had this one gold fish for a good 6/7 years, and id like to maybe get another addition to her tank. Something small! She just has the...

Thanks flutter moth :) Ok that makes sense! Would an assassin snail or any sort of snail do the job the same as a the Malaysian trumpet snail? And are snails something that can be kept on there own? Yes I have noticed that with the sand/gravel. What a pain. In future would just sand on its own...

Baccus you mentioned your corys do a fantastic job I have 2 clown loaches (sadly one died) who don't really seem to be to good a house keeping, and sand does seem to have a bit of muck on the top, would it be wise/possible to purchase 1 cory to help Hoover up? I only have space for 1 possibly 2...

My substrate in my tank is 1cm of gravel on the bottom with about 2cm of sand on top. Which would be the best way to clean the sand??

Evening guys. I have a 15 gallon tank. Its been up and running for a good month now, and i currently have the following in my tank: 3 white fin tetras 4 diamond flame tetras 1 bristlenose 1 dwarf congo frog 1 male guppy 2 female guppies. 2 clown loaches Id quite like to get a cherry shrimp...

Got him some blood worm which I'm putting in twice a week I mix it with a tiny bit of water and I've brought my self a large pipette which I'm sucking it up and placing it right in front of him/her. Any tips/advice is more than welcome please! :)

Thanks for the advice terry, much appreciated :) Aqua spacer, I'm sure I can give him the care and attention he will need thanks...

Ah I love my frog I can't get rid of him now ha! I didn't realise he'd be messy! In what way can they be deadly? I did the full fish less cycle with ammonia etc etc. Terry would you also agree anymore than 10 fish is to much in a 10 gallon tank? Many thanks.

Speaking to the guy in the fish shop he said I could have about 20-30 small white fin tetras! Is there a sort of rule of thumb with how many fish per gallon/litre?

Afternoon :) My cycle was complete last week and at the weekend I brought my first bunch of fish :) I purchased 3 white fin tetras, 5 diamond flame tetra, one bristle nose and a tiny Congo frog :) They all seem very happy so far, but was thinking about maybe adding a few others? I'd really...
