    Biggest regret in fish keeping?

    One regret I have is not using a temperature controller for my heaters on tropical tanks. Eventually heaters fail and destroy everything you have worked for, unless you have a temperature controller. I consider it an essential piece of kit now. Won't have a heated tank now without it.

    Theodoxus Fluviatilis River Nerite + Caridina Babaulti Malaya 'Red'

    I haven't posted on here in a long time, but used to a lot. Ok this is an odd one. I have wanted Caridina Babaulti Malaya 'Red' for literally years, and I just had the opportunity to acquire it. However, I needed to buy 50 of them which is too many for me. So I need someone to take 20 off my...

    When To Start Feeding Onion Snail?

    Pencilfish - Bad Male/female Ratio?

    thanks I am aware of the problem. shopping around for a 200l tank to house them in atm- but from the sounds of things this might not even be enough given your problems with only 6 beckfordi with 1:2 male/female ratio in 130l!

    Pencilfish - Bad Male/female Ratio?

    What did you end up doing in the end?   I have a group of 9 one-lined pencilfish (nannostomus unifasciatus) in a 20 liter tank with an even mix of male/females and they are crazy aggressive until the lights off. At which point they peacefully school. During the day they maintain little...
