Am I the only one that can't see pic number three It says it has been deleted or removed?

Yes I did Footer is out of date and I'm struggling to update it in my phone Will update it and find a new photo soon

Apologies lock man - I had answered all the questions but not in the required format. Livestock: Penguin Tetra Quantity for sale: 1 Reason for Sale: This one arrived as a hitchhiker when buying yellow phantom tetras - I would love him to join a shoal/school of his own type Delivery or...

A trio of Apistogrammas would be stunning

Personally I wouldn't keep tigers in any less than a 30 gallon - however the 20 long is a much better tank for tigers that a standard 20. The extra length will suit the active nature of the tigers and in my opinion make it just about workable in the long run

No co2 - just liquid fertilisers Seems to stop the plants dying but not getting anywhere near the growth I would like. Can't justify co2 at the moment though

We managed to pick up a hitch hiker when buying our yellow phantom tetras and therefore have one Penguin tetra. Would love him/her to join a school/shoal rather than being on there own. If anyone has a group of penguin tetras, wants a free addition and willing to travel to just south of Leeds...

Where I went next was more plants....this is what it looks like today but its still changing all the time

My edits are usually because I only spot my autocorrect errors (damn iPhone) once I've pressed post. I know I should use preview but I'm lazy!

Now I'm no botanist - but I'm pretty sure that plants create CO2 during the day and the night through respiration. However, during the day (ie when the lights are on) they absorb CO2 as a part of their photosynthesis. Therefore during the day they are both using and creating CO2 - while at a...

Agreed - shake the bottle to death before testing and you will get a higher reading Don't worry about the ammonia / the API test nil is never as yellow as the card suggests so yours is likely to be nil. Regarding the signature I believe the she has 3 males Bettas but not in the same tank - I...

From what I have heard keyholes will not predate on any fish larger than a few cm so if you get your tetras first they should be absolutely fine. Stocking levels look good to me as long as you keep up maintenance and your adequately filtered.

What size is your tank and what do you have in there at the moment. The most colourful fish generally are livebearers such as Platys and guppies but it won't be long until your overrun with livebearers if your not careful - they breed so often and so easily. Which tetras do you have...

Most die within a year as they are kept in tiny or unfiltered tank - a well looked after Beta usually lives 3-5 years. Most goldfish die within 3 months but a well looked after one will live 15-20 years easily

Thanks Shelster! Must say the PFK review had it spot on - if you live within a an hour of there I don't know why you wouldn't be on your way first thing tomorrow. It certainly has the widest range if marines I've ever seen and a huge range of tropicals as well - finding Apistogrammas is a rare...
