With the stress Zyme and the declorinator i just added it too the water in the bucket when i was refilling the tank as per the instructions. Some people say stress zyme in benefitial others say it does no good at all - but never heard it can do any harm - but will give this some thought. When...

Hi All, I have had my tank for quite a while now (around 8 months) and within the last week 3 of my fish have died. I followed all the instructions for the water cycle before i added fish and do regular water changes (with declorinator & API Stress Zyme). At first i thought with the 2 loaches...

Hi all - Cheers for your advice Yes I was meaning removing the female fish when they get older so they dont interbreed with each other as firstly I dont think I want many more as wont want too overstock and also heard that breeding brother and sister is obviously not good as can cause genetic...

Hi All, Had left my fish for a couple of days as was away from home - came back to find that my Mollie has had 5 babies. This was to my astonishment as thought I had asked the person at the fish store for a male Mollie. My tank at the moment has 4 Platies 1 mollie( + 5 baby Mollies) 5 Neon...

Hi, I have got a 35 gallon tank and at the moment have 2 Black Mollies, 4 Platties and 5 Neon tetras - do you think im already overstocked or could I add additional fish. Went into my Local tropical fish store and saw some really nice Boseman Rainbow fish but after reading about them have...

Yes I have followed the guide for Cycling that was posted and have had my fish tank for around 8 weeks now. I regularly test my water and at the moment the fish seem fine. I already have 4 platies which are amazing but was just wanting a couple more. Clearly buying Bala sharks wouldnt be fair...

Hi All, I have a 35 gallon tank and was wanting to get some silver sharks (bala) as my next addition in the fish tank. Looking at a few peoples comments some say that this is far too small is this true? I appreciate that they grow very large eventually but have heard people using smalling tanks...
