I have only ever bred livebearers in the past and have recently got into conditioning, spawning and growing out my first egglayers (Corydoras Aeneus) as practice for other varieties of egg layers. I know bronze corys are super easy to spawn and probably didn’t need conditioning but things are...

Not entirely sure about other people but what Colin has suggested here has actually been the remedy for almost all guppy’s and other fish I have bought that didn’t breed after conditioning. I buy most of my fish from a reputable local fish shop in the UK and still get the occasional issue. If I...

That’s exactly how mine looked, did you ever manage to figure out what happened ? Mine were molting regularly without death but then suddenly three dead in three days, haven’t noticed any deaths since adding salt. I wasn’t sure how to use salt so I added the salt straight to the quarantine tank...

Oh wow, I’m almost certain this stuff appeared overnight as I check on this tank quite thoroughly every day. I have 9 different types of live plants in here and it is only on that one Elodea and not the other one on the other side of the tank. After a bit of Googling it looks pretty similar to...

Forgot to attach the picture sorry.

Thanks for all the help I am currently in the process of a larger water change and have removed as many shrimp that appear white as possible as my last red rilli turned white overnight and will treat them in a separate tank as well as treating the main tank. I have just discovered a white...

you don’t need any special lighting for those plants, I’ve kept them alive with some really low quality lights built into tank lids. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08723KRLV/?tag= not sure how to link on here so I hope it worked This lights up my 60l perfectly (16gallons?) so you might be...

my ammonia is usually 0 due to the filters changing it to nitrates quite quickly but due to over feeding has spiked a little, I’ve tried all different recommendations in the past and have still lost over £150 worth of shrimp all together. my tap water contains 0.25ppm ammonia and all I can do...

I’ve just ordered some salt which will be here tomorrow so I’ll give it a go thank you. I’m trying to get it down to 0 again but large water changes seem to kill off my shrimp which is why I only remove a little and add it back incredibly slowly I can’t remove too much as a currently have an...

I’m relatively new to plants myself so I’m not 100%sure but I have 5 tanks in my room with the light set to come on at 4pm and go off at midnight and it seems to work for me but every tank is different. They’re all different types of tank lights but I believe LED is cheaper to run than the tube...

Plants need a certain amount of light to grow and live, and that light schedule needs to be pretty consistent which is where a timer comes in handy. Different plants need different amounts but if you make them happy they will help suck some of the bad stuff out of the water. I would check out...

I personally don’t scape my tanks as they’re mainly for breeding so I opt for plants with roots and a sand substrate and they all seem to thrive with no root tabs. my Betta seems to love Vallisneria spiralis and moss balls but anything that they can rest on or swim between is great, just...

Fish for thought is a great YouTuber to watch there’s nothing wrong with coloured gravel aslong as it’s not sharp. He just hates the look of it and prefers natural planted scapes. Also if you click the link you sent and scroll to the bottom the reviews should be there

I prefer to buy my own stuff so I can look at reviews I’ve never had hang on back filters but I’ve heard a lot about the benefits of adjustable flow on hob filters when it comes to Bettas from youtubers such as prime time aquatics and kgtropicals On some of the reviews on that kit some have...
