hi for 150 gallons the acrilyc will need to be at least 10 mm thick, if you are building the hood too then you will need a starter unit for the light. just attach the light tube to the hood. my partner made one for a wee tank we got that had no lid and looked just as good as any origional from...

ebay for your test kit - is a seller does api for £23 - other shops are £33 x that or take a sample to your local shop - most test for free for you x I suplement flake with some frozen foods - tropical mix is good as you get a variety. also some peas, broccoli, occasional cucumber and spinach.

try AtoB aquatics - find them on facebook - is a closed group tho so need to join to see. they deliver by dhl overnight. think they are doing guppy and the like for 99p just now but all fish are by preorder only - give you time to get tank running x

hope this works - pic of body damage and way he sits

had wee one looking last night lol - not a one to be found :-( . tried using a pipet when giving blood worm so was close to him but making no effort at all. he's still pretty much vertical atm - 50% daily changes & melafix is bout all I can do really - he has some damage - told it was a loach &...

have a bgk that has not eaten for at least a week now - posted in emergancies about him. just wondering how long he can go before this will add to the issues I already have with him?

I keep my male in by himself - only introduce female when I want young, do a 25% water change with slightly cooler water to mimic rainy season & hey presto - eggs lol. unfertilized eggs will turn white. before they hatch I take the female out again as I found she would eat the young by accident...

aww - know what you mean - I have a sailfin leopard plec - is 12 inches now and sadly up for rehoming as I have no space to get a larger tank - unless I throw out my furniture lol. he was only ment to be "on holiday" till his owner got a bigger tank but has been with me 2 years now and no sign...

black moor could do with that tank to himself tbh and yes sadly be much better in cooler water - is there nowhere cooler in your home that might bring temp down for him? Would mean another tank for other fish tho. no parrots in with what you have at all or they will be dinner for him. depends on...

lmao - yeah - not much diff there then!! prob just as clueless on them too. management needing a kick in the backside by the sounds of it.

I would wait till he was away from her and tell her he was clueless - not fair to her or fish, first attempt and dead fish is all she'd have - be a shame

pbase - tank is dim, daily dose of melafix. sorry but him being constantly vertical is not ok in my book for any fish. fluttermoth - yes tank tested 2 days before he went in - all 0. had 50% water changes wed & last nite and be continuing that for foreseeable. tank will be tested weekly...

I have been feeding blood worms but because of the way he is swimming he is not even attempting to eat. I used some ph down as it was at 7.6 and bkg like a ph of 6.6. I normaly prefer natural ways ie shell / sand / bog wood to change ph up or down but this fish was handed over in pretty bad...

tank was only tested 4 days ago on all perameters, but yes tested tonight for ph - down to 6.8 now. dosed tank again with melafix and a little more ph down and will be tested again tomorrow night.
