Thank you for your reply. Yes, the sand in this tank is natural coloured. So contrasting seems a really good idea

Thank you for your advice. I will get some more glowlight tetras. As for the corys, there's quite a few available across the 2 stores i use to get my fish. Probably too many for me to decide 😊 Types available are: bronze, orange venezuelan, pandas, sterbai, albino, false bandit, peppered...

So, I've transferred the fish from old tank to new 230 litre. Sand substrate, wood, rocks, live plants, quite soft water. The current occupants look a little lost in their new home so would like to add some more fish in a few weeks time. Corydoras are a definite must as they're my favourites...

Thank you. I've got to close the old tank down so I'll use your suggestion on the media for the filter. I understand your point on the water. I do weekly changes so keeping the water won't be much use to me. Thanks again for the help.

Since learning more about fish keeping I got a 200 litre with sand, wood, rocks and live plants. I now look at my old 120 litre that I've had for years with gravel and silk plants and in my eyes it looks so tacky in comparison. So, I'm going to upgrade that one to another 200 litre set up with...

New to canister filters. Decided it was time to clean the filter. Used tank water and ensured impeller was clean. Also changed filter floss. Flow doesn't seem as good and 48 hours later the water just seems to be getting cloudier. I have no clue what's gone wrong. As I have quite a powerful...

Thank you for your reply. He seems happy enough and eating well. I'm going to have to name him now because he's the little special one

Hey. I picked up some small pandas yesterday. All seemed OK. Got in from work and checked on the new additions. Noticed this little guy was bumping into things. Observed for a while and noticed his left eye is very cloudy/milky. Is he possibly blind in one eye? Other eye and other 5 pandas are...

Thank you. Really appreciate how helpful everyone is in this forum

Thank you. It did have a manual but I couldn't see anything about that dial. Thank you for your help

Recently changed my filter to an Eheim pro 4+ 350 cannister filter. Set up and working no problems but can anyone tell me what this dial is for please? I've googled and youtubed and I'm none the wiser 🤷‍♀️

Perfect. Thank you. The location of the tank is right by a large seating area that's used if residents want quiet time away from the tv or to chat with visitors. Really appreciate your help

Thank you. I'm there 4 days a week and one of those days I finish early and have a 2 and half hour wait for the bus home so setting that aside for tank maintenance. I'm trying to find someone responsible to feed/check on them on my days off as I'm a bit maternal when it comes to my fish 😁 I'm...
