65 in 2 tanks combined 13334 add 65 = 13399 i think?

thanks guys i appreciate the help. anyone know where you can get these from in the uk? i am hoping that i will be able to get additional info from the supplier

yes they lived happily for almost 4 years untill i dropped a pump on my female by accident. a week later my male died also. i was told he prob pinned but i'm sceptical about that

to be honest at this moment in time i am trying to get as much information as i can before i start looking at individual species. is there any specific species that is easier to keep than others?

my reccommendations are maidenhead aquatics, based inside wyvale garden centre at crowland, just on the outskirts of peterborough. it used to be near my home before i moved house. they may not be the cheapest but the advice given is good and they are very helpfull. another gardencentre that...

ok i may seem a skin flint here but i actally go to my local hardware shop, wilkinsons, and buy their tropical fish food as i found that they ate it better than the most expensive stuff. i also buy daphnia and bloodworm and brine shrimp freeze dried and add a little of that at the same time i...

one of the first mistakes i made was introducing new plants without washing them first. i ended up with snail eggs in my tank as they were attatched to the plant leaves. now i wash them thoroughly and i also quarantine any new plant for 48 hours and watch closely to ensure that i dont have the...

I have decided that it is time to look as things that are different and so can anyone please advise me om the temperatures that freshwater oysters and mussles need? :unsure: i am aware that many species are marine but i am specifically looking at freshwater and as much information as possible...

i have all my plants in gravel and i dont add any fertiliser once i have added fish to my tank. i do add a fertiliser once i have planted my tank and i am happy with the way it looks. i then add a general plant food for fish tanks weekly untill i am ready to add my fish which is about 6 weeks...

i found approx 60 fry in my tank this morning as one of my black mollies gave birth during the night. i have another black one and a white one pregnant also so i am glad my new tank is maturing. told my partner i think i need another one as well which will have to be in the bedroom just to...

i found that my mollies did that a while ago when i had a problem with my pump and the oxygen level wasn't where it should be. i found that once i had cleaned my filter using old tank water and did a water change all was ok but i kept a close eye on them just to be on the safe side. i also...

i am confused. perhaps i am misunderstanding this but are you saying that the serpae are mutilating thngs? i have 6 serpae with 2 corys, 5 lemon tetra and 6 silvertips and 6 black neone and 4 neons 3 loaches and a cory as well as mollies and i have no problems except they are breeding to much...

keep us posted my friend. i am sure things will turn out ok. we have all been there when things have gone wrong, just dont give up now. luv darklady
