Is a small silver shark ok for a community tank containing Guppies / Neons etc.

Thank you.

Jewel 180 needs its 1st filter change. I've heard it's good to build up helpful bacteria in the filter, so which 'pads' do I change? All or some?

Hi all, One of my zebra danios has a swollen white belly, not swimming much. Ideas?

How are these fitted into the tank? Are they supposed to go inside the filter?

I picked out around 50 snaild today. Also found 3 tiny baby guppies.

Any ideas on how to secure trap, and deal with the jelly pods?

So then...Trapping. How do you get lettuce / cucumber / carrot to stay inside a sunken jar?

OK; trap and diets! Any ideas on dealing with the 'jelly pods'? Yes, I used a block. Why?

Yes, new plants. Thanks for the jar and lettuce tip. Clown loach. OK with Guppies / tetras etc? (Also got a Coolieloach).

Just back from holidays... Snails everywhere! Where did they come from? How do I get rid of them? Are they linked to the 'jelly pods' I also seem to have?

What does "fishless cycle" mean? No fish until water clears?

Had tanks when I was a kid. Starting again 25 years later. Already asking for help in New tank message board. Looking forward to filling my tank with Cardinals and guppies etc. (Cloudiness problem to solve first! See other request for advice.)

Hi all, Got a new tank and thought I'd set it up corrects, even read instructions etc. Filter and thermometer running, gravel in and water conditioned. Fine for about a day, but gone cloudy. Looking closely, can actually see clouds moving. Is this simply that the gravel wasn't washed enough...
