I feel absolutely awful :( I was doing a water change and left the tank for one second, when I looked back there was a tetra that got sucked through the tube and into the bucket. quickly scooped him out and got him back in the tank, but then saw he sustained some sort of injury. His gills on one...

thank you for your reply! I've attached a screenshot of what my hardness is. Would I need to treat the water hardness at all for guppies or would they be safe as is?

Hi! I've been using aqadvisor to try to work out what I'm going to get for my 125 litre (80x35x50cm) I'd planned on 8 neon tetra, 10 neon green rasbora, and 8 guppies. Aqadvisor said this would be about 72%. is that okay? am I definitely using the site correctly?

a couple of days ago I got a halfmoon for my 60ltr planted tank. he seemed pretty skittish at first so I've been tryna get him used to my presence by feeding him a little (around 2-3 hikari pellets) every time I walk past the tank (every 2 hours or so). I've heard that it's dangerous to overfeed...

how does that work if the tank is planted? Its full of java moss and there's a significant amount of algae on parts of the landscape so I feel like the babies could just eat forever lol

i have a 60ltr tank with only cherries in it, and I don't particularly care about colour grading or breeding for more impressive colours. i love all of my shrimp equally :) when I first got them, I thought I'd have to cull them eventually as they'd just breed indefinitely, but I've read in a few...

I understand this is a bit of a longshot, but thought I'd post here anyway. came home from work today to find one of the cherries dead. the others seem fine, and a test on the water showed that all the parameters are normal. I can't see anything on the shrimp (like infection or injury)...

I see, thank you! I've heard that catappa leaves are a pretty simple way of lowering ph. have you had any experience using them with shrimp?

I've got a 60ltr planted tank with some cherries in. they seem very content, eating well and breeding. I was thinking about adding some Taiwan Bees as I'd love to add some diversity to the tank. I've heard they have relatively similar requirements to cherries, but the cherries prefer their water...
