Thanks for info, as i have corys i think i will get the limpopo as that seems better for cories. I have a black gravel which i was assured by the LFS it was ok for corys! they have all lost their barbs so it obviously wasnt!

Hi all, does anyone know where i can purchase tahitian moon sand. I live in Hertfordshire, but am happy to order and have it delivered if theres an internet company who has it. I think i would prefer it rather than limpopo. Thanks

Hi all, I took a chance and have set the tank up in my garage, not without heart stopping moments. This is how it went..... Moved fish into a large container that had fresh water(conditioned) and water from the tank in. I had it with a heater in since yesterday with a small filter. Removed...

Hi all, thank you for all your help, i truly have nowhere to keep the fish as potentially this is going to take months to sort. Tank holds 150 litres of water. If no one on this site wants the fish i will speak to the local fish shop, whats so disappointing i've only had the tank up and running...

Hi, thank you for info, the floors will need to be up for a minimum of 1-2 months, my kitchen isnt big enough to accomodate a large plastic storage container. But thank you for your advice.

Hi, try lemon juice and leaving it on for quite a while.

Hi, i have a 2000 uv filter from allponds, i must say i have found the company fantastic to deal with. I had never had an external filter before, so wasn't sure if it was working right. Allponds resolved any issues and concerns for me. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Hi, good news all other fish seemed fine today. I've had the fish for about a week. Don't think any contaminants could of got in tank. Thank you all for your help.

Hi, i can't remember my current password, so unable to change it to another one. Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi all, I checked all water parameters and they are all fine. i did a water change as soon as i could today. Its my first fish i've lost so maybe i was just unlucky with it. Will check parameters again tomorrow and probably do another water change, just to be on the safe side. The other siamese...

one of my new female siamese fighters died today. She looked unwell yesterday just as i was going to work. I removed her to a small container but she died when i got home this morning. I thought it looked like dropsy as i've seen that in one of my koi carp. She definitely looked ok when i bought...
