Thank you so much. If it only needs to be managed for a couple of weeks would it be possible to keep on top of it for the fish with lots of water changes? I also have some emergency stuff that supposedly neutralises ammonia? Not sure if that's wise to use at all lol

Ahh no i haven't, I will go have a watch now, thank you! I think Tropica was one that leaches out lots of ammonia for a while?? Might be wrong there. I have thought about root tabs but my pleco and my cories are all fully grown and make quite a mess of things when they are foraging so I think...

Hi! Basically covered that in the title lol I'm sick of watching my planted plants perish and am under the impression I can use soil within mesh bags so I can keep my sand as a topper? Could anyone recommend which soil will be best for an established aquarium, I have lots of fish and don't...

For me I think it started because I was obsessed with the Blue Planet series when I was little, I used to watch them all back to back on VHS, knew every sharks name in Latin 😂😂 ( no clue now lol) I was a bit underwater obsessed and wanted to be a marine biologist for many years growing up! I...

Its a type of pleco, no idea on L numbers 😂

Thank you everyone. I ended up buying some bug bites "colour enhancing" flakes and algae wafers (assuming they are also OK for my cories as there is so much insect protein in them!?) for my ground crew. Wow. Just comparing the ingredients to what I was feeding is very interesting. I'm a bit...

Hello! Looking for recommendations for everyday food for my gang that is gonna make their colours pop! angel fish, honey gourami, peppered cory and green phantom. Seen a lot of good stuff about bug bites but open to anything recommended. They get blood worms and brine shrimp twice a week...

There is no image of that male. That is "some" of the gang, not all. Things weren't peaceful but now they are which is why I updated this thread.

Some of the gang, love them!

So I now have 7 in my group. The original gang has grown a lot and I've certainly learnt a lot regarding sexing them and can definitely confirm that colouring means NOTHING 😂😂 out of my 2nd lot (the silver coloured ones) they are identical other than the female has a slightly (and I mean...

I swear I've been checking these seals and making sure glass isn't bowing every single evening for 4 months and I have never seen it 🤔

The store that I bought it from just got back to me, they are convinced that I've missed it not that it's come out of no where and that it is just excess sealant. I myself am not fully convinced but they aren't worried at all and neither is Hagen. Ive never really relaxed since the...

Haha no worries! Yes it definitely wasn't there. It was thoroughly inspected apon arrival as I had just had a bad experience with a second hand tank. Thought I'd buy new to play it safe 🙄😂 I have been checking this tank religiously, I think i have bloody ptsd from the old one lol
