Haha thanks Ros! I wish you were closer! If I put him on gumtree he'd be gone in a heartbeat but I wanted to try here first because I know people really care about their fish.

I am wanting to get out of fish keeping. I love my fighter fish but I feel like I don't have the time to properly care for him. He recently jumped out of his tank and is doing ok, but one of his pelvic fins looks a little short. He would just need a bit of extra care till he recovered from...

Hi Ros, I thought my heater was more than enough for my tank size. I'll have to double check when I get back home. I have an analog stick on calculator and it's a bit hard to read.

I feed him about 5 betta bio gold pellets every day but sometimes I don't feed him for 2 days in a row. The med was Wardley Promethyasul and it shouldn't be harmful to him from what I understand.

Hi guys, I've had my betta almost a year now. He's pretty much always been a happy, energetic guy.   A couple of months back he was in a tank with some pygmy cory I had. They kept dying off, I think because I didn't do a gravel vac often enough and they got a bacterial infection. I have since...

Hello! I have always had trouble doing gravel vacs in my tank as it's so hard to start the flow. I had a normal gravel vac and couldn't get it started so then I got a TOM battery operated one which is USELESS. It does pretty much nothing. My betta has a white patch under him and I think it may...

Your guppies are beautiful!   And your whole tank seems so vibrant!  Well done! :D

Lock man - thanks. Is 6-8 hours is all I need?    And there is no point using CO2 with my 11W? What if I switched to an 18W?      Eagles - thank you. I'm not sure what that means, that it's meant to stay in solution for 24 hours? 

Hi there!   I have a 12 gallon 40cm x 40cm x 40cm tank with one betta in it.   The live plants I have are java fern, crypt balansae, lilaeopsis, and bacopa.   I have an 11W light. Is this bright enough?    I am going to have an electric timer to turn the lights on/off each day even if I'm not...

I don't know, I've heard of the Whisper filter which apparently makes next to no noise. This is a common problem that people have, having the tank near where they sleep. Surely there is a way to reduce the noise.

The impeller on my Aquanano 40 hums a bit and since it is in my bedroom, it bothers me at night. It's not very loud but when everything is quiet it becomes pretty noticeable. Is it possible to get another kind of impeller that will work the same but be a little quieter?

Okay thanks :) Should I be worried about the red vertical lines on his cheeks?

Yeah I know about the beard haha :) I got him to flare before. It kind if looks like his gills are a bit... Blistered? And maybe a bit of white fuzz on one side of them? I don't know maybe it's paranoia... But he does seem to be moving his gills rapidly

Those photos don't really show his gills. Also he has 2 red lines on his cheeks.

Okay, here are some photos of him. . .
