Thanks for your reply. The water in my area is soft but I am unsure of the pH, do I need to test it or will it say on the water providers website? As for the pair of rams, I was planning on asking the store for ready paired ones (they have all the rams in one tank) this is what I did a few...

I’ve decided to go back to fish keeping after selling my 4 tanks two years ago. So I’ve just bought a new 160L tank (haven’t picked it up yet so don’t know the parameters or make/model but have been told it’s more than 1meter wide) and I’ve got a list of the fish I would like but need advice...

Hi, ok so my kribs have had fry, i have 6 mixed young tiger barbs in with them and a very young red tailed shark. Now the fry are here the kribs are going nuts and wont leave them alone and is stressing them out, so ive moved the barbs into my community tank for a while (i know not a good idea...

Thanks guys :)

I bought 3 tiger barbs and 3 greeb tigers a couple of days ago, and every morning when i switch the aquarium light on, theyre all face down in the plants, theyre still moving and everything and theyre fine now swimming about as normal. Does anyone else's do this??

Ok thanks for the tip :)

Hi, i got a pair of kribensis a few days ago and all they do is hide, so i read that if there are other brave fish that swim in the open in the tank they will too, so for that reason im getting a few tiger barbs, which ive heard go well with kribs. Im also thinking of getting a red tail or ruby...

I have an empty cycled 51L tank and want to fill it with a pair of fish, what is the biggest that could live in it? Would help if it was colourful too please :)

Yes i understand why many people dont like Blood Parrots because theyre hybrids, but its still a fish i guess! ha. and i love the cartoony look they have.   I like the second plan too to be honest, more colourful!  can different types of rainbow fish school together? i like plecs, but not the...

Yes i love them, im always mesmerised by them when i see them at the lfs! After some thinking im debating whether to keep them with a pair of blue rams or a school of medium fish with maybe a rainbow shark, hmm desicions. Which tetras did you keep yours with?

I have the same thing! I bought 12 malaysian trumpet snails just over a month ago and the tank is FULL of baby snails now, theyre so cute, but im worried they will overrun my tank eventually, so if they do ive decided ill give them away to friends who have tanks - if they want them that is! I...

What about a pair of parrots and a pair of blue rams? Would they work?
