Hi, When feeding fish today I noticed my single Otto nipping at the catfish tails fins and sometimes body when they got close. He is on his own as he is the sole survivor or 4 we had. He seems to be eating, very active all over the tank. My question is, though: as he is so small can he actually...

Couldn’t bring myself to use the Seachem in the end. I had some advice from a friend who advised Easy-life alg-exit and Fluval phosphate sponge for the filter. Thanks for all the advice and I have learnt some forum etiquette too! Happy fish keeping.

There is a link to the data sheet also.

I am in no way representing Seachem. I simply did a google search and saw an article from Sechem’s knowledge base saying the above. I hope I haven’t offended anyone in posting this (it’s widely available on the net) just thought like most things the argument for and against is maybe not so clear...

My tank is heavily planted more so than nik_n. All plants growing great then crypt melts completely and staghorn forms. I don’t fertilise and the light is on for 6h a day. Nothing has changed the tank is well cycled and 10-20ppm nitrates. It’s a high flow tank with moderate surface agitation. It...

Claim 3: Flourish Excel™ is actually gluteraldehyde! It is a dangerous carcinogen that is harmful to fish, plants, and humans! This claim, that Flourish Excel™ is Gluteraldehyde, is a common one that is simply not true. I cannot speak for any other companies that may or may not use...

Hi all, I have noticed staghorn algae and it’s getting worse and just now a tuft of BBA on my driftwood. The bladder snails are doing their best but the stag is taking over. I was told Seachem flourish excel was very good for this but there are mixed reviews. I don’t want to spot treat as it’s...

Surely a ‘tank’ is watertight (😂)I’m struggling to tell the difference? To be honest I have had a biorb tank-bowl before and they are superb for just one fish. You may need gravel as mine had an under gravel filter and an air stone in a tube in the middle for the filtration. I also had a heater...

Oh sorry I thought I said! Juwel 120L lido fairly heavy on the plants. 61 x 58 x 41 cm Substrate - Japanese baked soil (columbo) Ph 6.6 0 ammonia 0 nitrites 5 - 10 ppm nitrates Cheers

Hi all, I have read some conflicting post about whether I could keep honey gouramis and neon tetras together. I have 10 neons, one bn plec, 4 otocinculus and want to add 2 - 3 honey gouramis. The tank is well planted and properly cycled. Anyone see an issue with this?

👍🤫

Oh no (again) to quote you BLJ! Why do they keep Popping up on my Home Screen list? I’m not sure how I managed to find this 🤪. I was so eager to post a reply as I had just had a similar issue.

Update: Much to my surprise the spikey balls are growing and appears to be the way the fern reproduces! Phew!
