yeah all fish have been bought from tropco online, i too seen good reviews and i also called them before they sent the fish and checked they were compatable with each other, again, no one mentioned about the hardness water difference to me on the phone, i wish they had but that probably falls...

i spke with her on the phone before and she said she knows about the DG and their disease but they've never had any complaints from anyone whos purchased from them and they are all looking good and wouldn't sell any that werent. which i knwo the latter to be true as i ordered a different fish...

oh goodness, i didn't know about that. would the 2 i've had now about 3 weeks, have shown any signs of anything by now? i hope i am not being naive when saying this, but i have visited quite alot of fish shops over the last few months and i haven't wanted to buy any fish from them after seeing...

great ok, i will look into getting more maybe thank you! do you think my tank will be overstocked with the below: 5 guppies (may move into another tank or rehome) 6 dwarf gaurami 6 neon tetra 6- x-ray fish 6- congo tetra 1 galaxy rasbora 1 kuhli loach 1 snow white brittlenose 4 balloon rams 1...

ahh no it's a Kuhli Loach- like an eel looking thing

thanks for that, i did move everything over yes without washing so hopefully that will have worked! yeah i am aware what fish are ok and not ok to go into my tank and i do try to research as much as poss before adding, but unfortunately when i first added the fish i did get a combination of...

water gone cloudy today slightly

i currently have a congo tetra, about 5 small guppies, a platy, a giant danio, 1 neon (because 5 dissappeared/died/was eaten?) 2 dwarf guarami, a small rasbora, an x ray fish and a loach. my tap water reads 0 nitrates, and when i searched my postcode with the water company they gave those...

hey there, yes i am aware its a good thign but i am concerned because inmy 75l tank i had 0 nitrites, 0 ammonia and i had nitrates. however, in this tank since they've moved over, there are no nitrates at all. i was under the impression it should have some and if it doesn't it is maybe not...

yes i agree! thank you. i am /have really been trying hard to get this right. do you think it'll be ok for me to add those fish and it might boost up the nitrates? also- when you use that syphon i have, do you add the prime into the tank directly, because if it's connected to my tap theres no...

yeah i am imagining that also thats why i'm quite reluctant to do it atm. currently i fill 3 gallon bucket and transfer, i add the prime into it before adding to tank, but i have a new syphon thats arrived and i can connect it to the tap and pull/put water in that way, havent tried that yet tho

no it would be exactly the same, i would, i'm assuming, need to buy a buffer for the hard water fish tank

hey there, no no i'm not adding mollies to this tank, i already had some and seen they were shimmying and not happy so i rehomed them. i mentioned the mollies if i were to set up my old 75L tank to keep the guppies in if they seem unhappy at any point in this current tank, then i may add some...

just been looking then, are my results skewed? Typical water hardness: Mod. Soft Hardness clark: 5.25...
