The java or the moss balls? Moss balls need hardly any light, it's a type of algae so will survive under very low light conditions, the moss balls / caves I had in the frog tank survived with just a cheap table lamp for light for a good few months. The java was only in there for about 3 weeks...

It should be fine as a temporary measure, I had some java fern in mine and only had a table lamp for a light and it survived but never grew. Another thing that I found my frogs loved for cover was moss balls split in half and shaped into caves, they preffered that to the coconut / real caves.

Here's a pinned thread you may find useful; http://www.fishforums.net/content/Inverteb...an-Dwarf-Frogs/ As for the filter it's personal choice, if you can keep ontop of the water changes and would prefer to leave the filter out then do so but if you'd rather have it then I see no problem. I...

I just went by the info on the box / on the site :P I'm glad so many of you have seen this post as now you can get yourself one for another betta :good: I was just stating my opinion that I would not house anything apart from maybe shrimp in anything under 20Litres I didn't say there was...

I agree with you CFC, he is keeping the fish in tanks way too small for them and I personally emailed Matt about what's happened to you and explained that your not some total newbie there to cause trouble or anything and that you would be a fantastic asset to that forum and hoped they would...

Hi Dev, Exciting news about the new tank :D I think you should go with just 1 more fancy goldfish, as well as upping the numbers of the WCMM like you said. Like I said on UKAPS plants will be trial and error, some goldies will eat anything and everything but if your lucky like me you'll get...

Electriccoldsod I've never had problems with anaerobic patches, algae on top of the sand etc. I have MTS in all of the tanks which do a pretty good job of rooting through it, I also have corys in 2 of the tanks that sift through it all, as do the goldfish. I do poke around in the sand just to...

Thanks for the lovely comments :) Jackie it's quite simple to do but can be time consuming. Unfortunately you will have to remove all the plants / fish / decor. The best way to do it is to get a large enough container to hold all the fish for a few hours,fill with tank water, put your heater in...

I prefer sand, it's easier to keep clean, bottom dwellers prefer it and I personally think it looks nicer, black sand is probably the nicest but here are some pics of my tanks which have ordinary play sand in them; 5 gallon 15G 18G 30G 35G Or if you'd like to compare, here are some...

I have tried many different plants and all of them have grown fine in my goldfish tank, in particular vallis grows really well, as do hygro species. I have some riccia floating in the tank now as well which is being left alone. In the tank at the moment are Cabomba Caroliniana, Java fern...

Just thought I'd let you all know of another small cheap tank, it's alot smaller then the one on offer with wilkos / aldi but has a few extra features. I personally don't like how small it is and wouldn't consider keeping anything in it(maybe juvenile cherry shrimp) but each to there own :D...

The only thing that may treat bloat is interpet no.9 anti-internal bacteria medicine, but that's when it's caught in the early stages, you could try interpet no.9 but there's not much hope I'm afraid.

http://www.ruto.co.uk/index.html I found this site the other day that sells frozen food very cheap compared to the shops were it's normally 3 or 4 packs for £10, wheras this one it's 25 packs for £18.95(that's what they list it as on aquarist classifieds) it's going to be £29.45 inc delivery...

That looks like bloat to me, it's fatal I'm afraid and I'll be surprised if he makes it through the day, if caught early enough it can be treated but from the looks of it your frog is too far gone, you can read more about the diseases that affect them here...

Just one side, hmmmm, don't suppose you have a pic of him? Could be he had a blockage, most likely gravel, I had a frog die and after I sliced her open found a tiny piece of gravel, I only have sand in my tanks so she must of had it blocking her for a while, most likely she ingested it when in...
