I have a 30gal long with a range of community fish and a number of Shrimp both Amano and RCS, the RCS like to hide out within a hollow Buddha head, they can get inside as the statue is slightly tilted and so showing a gap ar the front. Obviously the water inste the head will not have as much...

They are in a 30 gal long which is well planted with boxwood and a cave

Thanks the only reason I started with 5 was to slowly build my filter up, will get some more Danios in the next couple of days, I am testing water daily already since I added new fish so shouldn't be much of a problem, Dan

Hi all,   I just introduced 5 zebra/leopard danios into my 30gal tank stocked with 6 WCMM and shrimp, instantly the Danios began to bully the WCMM, In due course I plan to increase both schools to 10 fish each just wondered which to do first, will buying more Zebra Danios move agression between...

Not at all stanleo, quick and complete trauma is arguably as humane as clove oil, I personally couldn't stomach the trauma, weird I'm not squeamish at all but could never face exerting it myself

Vets are in general next to useless when it comes to fish, I admit there is often not a lot they can do but you woud expect a little knowledge at least. I only use alcohol as a back up, there is a thin line between death and deep anaesthesia from which a fish could possibly wake, ethanol has...

  Here's how I did it, if I remember right:   Got a small 5L disposable tank (it is nigh on impossible to get rid of the clove oil smell after use) filled with tank water  Net fish into new tank ans cover with towels/foil to make the tank as dark as possible. In a jam jar/bottle I mixed about 10...

EDTA is used as a softening agent so could be the chelating agent used to produce the softened water as NeonBlue said very ambiguous as you definitely wouldn't want to add heavy metals to your tank!

My first tank was a 14 litre with a common and fantail goldfish, at least it had a filter :/ I also mis calculated and massively overdosed on a formaldehyde treatment for ich turns out the fish didn't have ich at all and was very unhappy in the water!

Hi Is this still for sale?

I had to put my goldfish down last weekend and couldn't bring myself to tap on the head so used clove oil and vodka, once I was pretty sure he had gone I did make extra sure by the head method but couldn't bear to do it with his eyes moving :( the clove oil method was incredibly peaceful which...

I don't think they are related, the loach is from the family Balitordae and the pleco from Loricariidae, my tank is well aerated enough, are they OK with shrimp?

Well it turns out I am liable to change my mind on an almost daily basis!!! There is no point in keeping fish unhappy so I'm gonna go for cooler waters 21/22 degrees and a river (ish) setup  Stocking wise I will keep a school of WCMM and Zebra Danios (the original rather than those ghastly...

Thanks for all the ideas guy, I've been to a couple of my LFS both of them had display tanks with WCMM with dwarf gouramis at about 24 degrees, the store that bred their own fish bred WCMM at 24 degrees and they were in excellent condition with the deepest red dorsals I've ever seen in white...

I thought that would be my main problem, my minnow has always been in an unheated tank at 18 degrees with a small fancy goldfish, hence my dismay with the biorb, even when mature I was doing bi-weekly water changes, unfortunately my gf had a series of tumours across his body and was evidently in...
