First time i have ever seen this, laid her eggs on the glass. Unfortunately the other fish saw it as food and they were gone in seconds. I have read that the eggs should be moved to a smaller tank, but i don't have the space or the extra equipment required. So can i use a net breeding tank and...

  The tank is 180L,fluval 206 + smaller intank filter   3 bronze cory 1 albino cory 6 ghost tetras 1 pygmy catfish (can't remember the actual name, but was told it would grow no bigger than about 6") 3 red mollies 3 Puntias pentazona 3 clown Loaches, closest things to Nemo, for my kids. ( when...

Yes, looks like them, thanks

I know it would be easier with pictures, but camera is lost in the house somewhere. I bought 5 of the same fish from my local aquarium today, but can't remember what they are. They look similar to tiger Barbs, but mine have 5 vertical stripes as opposed to the 4 tigers have. Any ideas, i will...

I have a 180L tank and will be putting the following in- once it has finished cycling 10 Neon Tetras 5 glow light tetras 5 silver tip Tetras 5 Red eye Tetras 5 Lemon Tetras 6 Bronze Cories   What fish can i add as a "center" piece that won't see the rest as breakfast,lunch and dinner.

Measure the height, U2 is 20cm, the U3 is 27cm according to their website

Went round a friends and he gave me some filter medium, so hopefully things will progress quicker now

On day 10 following the instructions on this forum, but not sure if it's working or not. Since the initial dose of ammonia, my readings have more or less stayed the same. I'm using the API master kit and get the following readings, is it a case of just waiting and testing every 3 days, or has...

The second picture is so much better. I would go for live plants as well, the plastic never looks right to me. My in-laws have a mixture of live and plastic, the plastic ones stand out like a sore thumb.

Its a Juwel vision 180L approx 92cmx41cmx55cm high and is lightly planted. There is some driftwood and slate with a play sand substrate

On day 1 my readings after adding 1.3ml of ammonia (35% strength) i had the following readings- Ammonia 3ppm Nitrite 0.25ppm Nitrate 10 ppm   On day 4 i now have readings of - Ammonia 2ppm Nitrite 0ppm Nitrate 20ppm   Is my tank cycling as it should be, i'm following the guides on this forum

I'm not to sure what the rock is, so i played safe and got some slate. For the cost of a few pound i thought it wasn't worth taking a risk with the "ironstone".

Thanks for the help and i do like things that are simple, will make my life easier as well. I hope i have them in the right places in the tank

Hi, those were my tap readings. I added 3ppm of ammonia and done the water test about an hour later. All the readings are as they should be
