You have to be 15 and 9 months in Australia - how they came up with that I don't know! Good luck!

I used to have a Bristlenose catfish family called Squishy (mum), Spike (dad) and the 2 kids "Kath & Kim"

He he he - already got one of them! Looking for one that won't be so furry :-)

Oh of course, wasn't thinking. I have only got 1 lonely molly at the moment but I am very interested in Silver Dollars and guppies. In my old tank the pH seemed to settle at around 7 (although the new one which is only been running 3 days is at about 7.2 at the moment). The tank is about 24g.

The molly I have is a silver one and one that I bred in my last tank before they all got sick :-( This little guy is the only surviving member and is only about 1/2 inch long. My little fighter! Do you think I need more fish to get the cycle happening? I am still deciding what fish to get but...

Hi all, I am researching different fish to keep my impatience with the cycling process at bay! I would like to get a cat-fish or even a cat-fish family and would like your opinion. I have had Bristlenose in the past and loved how they took care of the algae for me. Any other cats that would...

Just to add some info- The test results on Day 2 were - Ammonia 0.25, Nitrite 0.5, Nitrate 5.00 and pH 7 (I added some of my old fish tank water) The results today, Day 3, were - Ammonia 0.25, Nitrite 0.5-1.0, Nitrate 5.00 and pH 7.3. Then I did a water change and got - Ammonia 0 - 0.25...

Hi all! I am one of those over eager newbies who couldn't wait to put my fish in my new tank. It wasn't until I lost my Brislenose that I found out about cycling and in particular, fishless cycling. What I need to know is how can I cycle while I have a Molly in the tank? Will one fish be...

Thanks for your help. Crisis averted. Manual siphoning did the trick (and I managed not to drink any of it!). I am amazed at how quit it is to run! Let's hope it works well too. Thanks again

Thanks for your advice. For now I am letting the 'oldies' settle in but I am looking forward to some new fish faces.

I have spent a small fortune on a new filter and the instructions barely cover how to use it. It's a ProAqua CF-1500. I have connected it all together and but the button I am supposed to push to get the air out and the water in is doing nothing! Can you help?

My tank is about 80 litres. I was given the clown loaches as a gift and was always a little concerned about what I would do once they grew! I'd love a larger tank but space does not allow it :rolleyes: Oh well. As far as the water quality goes I can't say really as I am very much an...

Hi all, About 6 months ago when I moved I had an 'epidemic' hit my tank and I lost most of my fish. Recently I have bought a new tank and an external canister filter and want to start restocking my fish. I still have one Molly and 3 Bristlenose catfish. I would like some ideas on what fish...
