There doesn't seem to be much variety with freshwater tropicals, well not that I have seen anyway. I have another question. I would like to have a sand bottom tank, could this be a problem with bottom dwellers with sensitive unders? This may be a stupid question and I apologies lol but will...

My LFS is awful, I think if I do buy anymore fish for it they will definitely be from specialists or home bred! I will have a look at swordtails:)

I'm sure some of you remember be from a while back but for those who may not I will give you a brief of what happened with my first attempt. Several months ago I bought a 60ltr cube tropical fish tank. From the first day everything went wrong, I bought over 30 fish over the few months I had it...

It was also what I was told to do by my LFS?

I plan on feeding some of the guppy fry to the angels as I will have at least 4 pregnant guppys giving birth at the same time. Is this not the right thing to do? I watched videons on youtube and read on some websites that you can feed some of the fry to other fish? Is this not the right thing...

The tank is a cube shape, think its called a fish box? I really regret buying it, I wish I had of bought something bigger to start with but hopefully but the end of the month I will have upgraded to at least a 120ltr. The guppys are mixed, I think I see them 'flirting' already, I'm almost 100%...

Currently in my 60ltr I have 6 guppys and a molly, what else can I add? Maybe another molly and a few tetras? I decided to hold off on buying a bigger tank until I have my current one up and running for a while.

Thanks you for your help! Much appreciated!

The two filters are different, one is a marina and the other is a fluval. I have fish in the current tank so I can't take the filter out,what else can I do?

then should I just leave it running for a week or two?

Thanks guys I read it:) when cycling the tank should I put in some of my old gravel and put my filter beside the new one?

Thanks for the input! I'm sure there's an old tin of paint somewhere around here, means I don't have to spend any money lol! Hopefully being uglys the only thing wrong with it, if it doesn't leak or anything I have big plans for it:) if it does, well I might invest in a snake or something lol

Tomorrow I'm picking up a rather old fish tank, I'm not sure how many litres it holds but its quite big! I'm getting it for free so hey why not? I do not like the colour of it though, the hood is an old ugly yellow colour and the wood around the bottom and top is an ugly brown, can I spray paint...

I currently have a 60ltr fish tank that was second hand, I am new to keeping fish and I did not know that you had to cycle a tank so in the end all but 1 off my fish died. Any how, everything in my tank seems to be fine now. I am picking up a second tank tomorrow that is huge and I'm getting it...

Thanks for the advice! I believe the tank has already been up and running for a while with fish in it, should I take out everything and thoroughly clean then put in clean sand and fill with water and turn the filter and leave it running for a while before adding my fish? or should I fill half...
