Hi guys!   Having a problem trying to change my light tube? I have no idea how it comes apart and I don't want to start riving at it n breaking it!   How the hell does it come apart???   Please someone help!!! Grrrr

Just a pinch or the flakes that have broken from one tub (for the smaller fish) and 3 or 4 flakes for the bigger ones. They all eating though.   Think 'Harry' the Goldring Butterfly ate well last night as the tank seemed cleaner. Not his job I know....but he helps!   Loving watching them all...

Bit of an age to reply. Sorry! Only just saw your reply.   Well, took the plunge (as my water is good!) and got more fish. now got 6 of each Tetras being Neons, Black Neons and Glow Lights! Also got a Gold Ring Butterfly.   Only got them today so will see how they go. They all seem happy and...

I am going to shoal up the other Tetras but thought one fancy fish would be OK. I have read various forums and tinternet pages and it seems hit and miss whether to keep a SFF with Tetras. Some say its fine, others not. Depends on the temperament of both types of fish I thought.   I have a...

Well Sharkey has a new home. He pinned one of the smaller Black Neons in a corner this morning. He didn't attack his scales, just pinned him into a corner.   I phoned the LFS and they said they would take him. Kinda gutted really that it didn't work out. I liked my Golden Algae Eater!   They...

Sharkey is indeed a Golden Alegae Eater, He doesn't bother the other fish at the moment and is about 1.5" long so he is fairly young still. We got him when he was very small so seems to of adapted to the Black Neon Tetras as he swim in their shoal sometimes.   He doesn't seem to attack any of...

Was disappointed, Was totally my fault. He got trapped between the net and the glass. Think I hurt him. He was still alive but wasn't moving his back half so couldn't swim. Poor laal fella! My 5 year old got upset!   The tank is looking good! Will post some pics up later on. The boys seem very...

Done it! Lost one fish though. :-(

Water is in! Gravel is washed (until non-cloudy) and is in! Heater is on and water at 26 degrees!   Feeling confident about cycling with my fish in. Gonna put the old filter in overnight and move the fish over 2moro.   What kinda levels should I be looking for. Ph is 6.0, but not sure about...

So...when I do get new fish, 3 Neons and 3 glowlights, how many can the 98L hold roughly?   Thanks for the advice by the way! Chuffed to bits!

Do you think that'd be ok? I thought about that but read so many posts on here I thought it was best.   When I set up the other tank I left it for 3 days cycling at it was fine. Maybe because it was smaller.   Think maybe tomorrow will be change over day then providing the tank has no leaks...

Cheers guys!   What im going to do is clean the new gravel and put it in. Gonna put the OLD gravel in too as its the sam and fill with treated tap water.   Not going to use the 28L tank so the filter will be cut and placed into the new tank. Going to keep half the filter in the old tank for a...

I've been trying to read up through the forum about cycling my new 98L tank. I have the old 28L tank still going so the filter and water are already cycled.   Its the new tank im confused about. I mean whats the best thing to do? Put the water, gravel and filter media from the old tank in??? If...
