With regret Im having to sell my tank plus fish as I have so much going on right now I dont have the time to maintain it,Also we have another tropical setup which is my husbands so we are happy to just have the one tank. Juwel rio 300 (4ft x 2ftx2ft) Juwel rio jumbo filter 300w heater plenty of...

No I didnt do the filter that was done around 3 weeks ago but the poly pad was changed last week.Filter will be cleaned today could there be a possibility its plants? I got some floating plants off ebay last week im wondering wether to take them out or not now. Im in the process of removing the...

I got up this morning switched light on to find one of my favorate cichlids dead :sad: Nothing seemed wrong with it that I could see but all the others have been gasping and not moving about at all so ive done a reading and they are as follows using nutrafin test kit ph 8.0 Ammonia 0 Nitrite...

The title speaks for itself lol I just wanted to know if anyone knows if this stuff works or not? Even though I have tons of floating plants in my tank to compete with nutrients and for shade no matter what im still getting loads of brown algae growing all over my rocks and glass.so much so ill...

Im not fully stocked right now so not sure if this is the problem but I have one fish a albino which I think is a albino zebra and hes a pure horrible bully! he picks on some of the fish constantly to the point a few of them never want to come out anymore and if they do hes right back at them I...

I have my syno with my african cichlids.I was worried too about him eating cause he wouldnt come out as the cichlids kept chasing him back in the rocks but now he is happy as larry and he is always out and about generally follwing the cichlids about lol especially my yellow labs hes taken quite...

Hi I posted this in the catfish section but no one has replied so thought id ask in here if anyone knew? Seems I have a whitespot outbreak and I wondered if im able to use the normal dose with a catfish?

My tank got infected with whitespot and for a couple days ive been treating it the full dose.I know you arent supposed to with sharks and loaches but does this also include synodontis? Im really worried I should have halved the dose and that it might kill him :unsure:

Lastnight one of my males really coloured up then dug himself a little pit in front of a large rock and think he did sort of a "dance" lol He was wriggling around on the sand and at times almost completely upright swaying his top body from side to side.I thought this was amazing to watch...

Sounds fascinating! thank you

Is there a typical behaviour yellow labs show for breeding? My 2 seem to stick together all the time with the male generally following the female about but that could be typical I guess? just wondered if there are any tell tale signs?

Thank you im about to go do it now I have a 18cm air curtain running and the outlet breaks the surafce well.Im still pretty peeved about this though I wont be buying fish there again

I went down pets @ home the other day wasnt very impressed with the fact they had a few dead fishies in the tanks which were being munched on but guess that happens in most lfs? also one fish was led on the bottom obviously in distress though the cichlid tank looked ok Anyway I got 2 cichlids...

Ok im so glad its not just me then haha! Though ralphie has now been names finley due to his large fin.

Its actually ok now my biggest cichlid which was the one chasing him seems to have taken to it now.I think more than anything it was curiousity with him and also saying "hey im the boss of this tank" Ive even seen him munching on some pellets now and he seems happy enough so im really glad.
