I'm running a waterfall filter I picked up in lidl, marina 100l internal filter. I did have that out too, to clean but no sight :-(

Yeah my lid was on but a few times recently I've had decs out for maintenance so I'm thinking they have either jumped or been eaten

I bought 4 cherry shrimps about 6 weeks ago. I can only find 2 now. Current contents. 5 platy, 3 penguin tetra 2 neon tetra, 2 pearl danio 3 leopard danios 6 amino shrimps. 2 (was 4) cherry shrimp. I had half the water and all the decorations out to plant some plants and I can only see 2...

New update. It's been a little while since I upgraded and some stuff has happened. One of my platys has gave birth. Don't know which one and I have only found 2 fry. I've planted a couple of plants and got rid of those crappy plastics plants. I have lost 2 of my cherry shrimps (not dies just...

He actually talked me out of a sale lol. I was set on getting some hornswort but following his advice I left with only some fish food (which I needed anyway) My penguin tetra had been shielding away for a few days and after looking at the dead fish seemed to to have any external damage or...

Thought I would give a little update on my tank. My tank is going well. I took so me advice and got myself 4 cherry shrimps. My wife loves them. Chloe (my platy) is still pregnant, nothing much happening there but I've put in a breading box ready (wish I had another tank for breeding). Went to...

RO water?

It's a 65ltr tank. I've had it for about 3 weeks but bought it stocked and running Previous tank (which I out grew) never got to 0 either.

I've been trying to get my ammonia to 0. Always 0.25 or 0.5 no matter how much I change water, cut down food etc. Never gets any higher but has never been 0.

Hi One of my female platys has developed something on her face which resembles a beard. I've never noticed it before but am wondering if it may be ich so something to worry about or just a bit of sand. The photo is not the best but she keeps hiding away. Her behaviour seems to have changed in...

Update. Cloudiness 2 days ago With some patience and 2 filters running I have been rewarded with a tank that is almost cloud free. just need to wait a little longer, plus i think the light is showing particles a lot more.

Hope so 😁

I sold it. I bought it for £20 sold it for £30 Extra cash went to equipment for newer tank 🙂thats what I had. this is what I've now got. Just working through cloudy water issue.

I had a biorb when I first started 3 months ago. Quickly realised that they are inadequate. (The wife loved it though) they may be nice to look at but rubbish for fish

Not a big fan of MTS but I'll just ride with what I've got for now. I think the wife would love an increase in shrimps, as they are her favourite animal in there but with only 5 we see them quite infrequently 😭, I'm hoping they will reproduce cause can't afford to buy any more at moment
