I never knew you should do a water change after lights out or before they go on????

I know CoIR1948 - I was fed so much garbage that I ended up loosing all my fish and had to start again, it was only thanks to the guys on here that the second time round was more successful.

Hi Changed the media with the filter but the levels have been ok when tested. The tank is tiny, 13 inches in height, 19 inches in width and 10 inches deep so I think I really need to get a bigger tank and get everything right before I add fish as I was told the wrong info when I first started...

I use to have real plants in my tank which unfortunately ended up being taken out because they just got covered (and I mean covered) in algae/moss. I took them out and replaced them with some fake plants. I found out that the excessive algae growth was down to my lights being on for too long. I...

Hi I was wondering if you could help me? Whenever I buy new fish (4 max at a time and at least 2 weeks apart), I seem to find one or two of them dead a few days later. The tank was treated with Melafix about a month ago because of my new fish had popeye. Unfortunately he died a few days after...
