Tank has been set up since early September, bought the fish about 3 weeks later. LFS said it shouldn't be the water as I change it frequently, they advised adding salt which I did last night. I'm going to change the water again today, if there's no change tomorrow they said to go back in.

pH is about 8, nitrate around 0.1, ran out of testing stuff for the others but they've been fine so far and I haven't changed anything in my routine. They are in the 25l tank, and please don't complain about overcrowding because to be honest, in my personal opinion it's rubbish. They are tiny...

I have four male guppies in my tank, they are the only inhabitants. On Monday I did a water change, and the next day I noticed one of my guppies (the littlest of the bunch) seems not to be swimming much. He alternated between laying on the bottom, and hanging st the top, near the filter or...

Hi guys, just an update!   Last week I went for four male guppies (to start with) and I love them!   And please don't tell me I'm overcrowding my tank, I've read too many comments where people are beating others for apparently 'overcrowding'. The fish are very happy and they have lots of room to...

  I didn't know there were different types! I've been to look at the ones down in a local pet shop near us (we know the owner and have bought all our animals there) and there are many different colours.   Obviously I do not want to overcrowd the tank, but in a 25L one, (5.4 ish gallons), how...

      Thank you for the replies! The units are indeed dGH, so it's good to know that guppies will do fine. I was looking at the males only as I'm not really equipped to handle a lot of fry, and the males really do look good in a tank!   -L

  I'm just after something beautiful and bright to look at and tend to! I'm a writer so will spend a lot of time sat staring at them whilst in deep thought  Thanks for all the help guys! I'll let you know what I choose!

Hi there, (feel like I need to start yet another topic)   I have found out that the water in my area has a GH (General Hardness) of about 14, aka the water is Very Hard.   I was planning on keeping guppies, but I believe they prefer water of GH 8-12, so suppose that I will no longer be able to...

  Thank you for the advice! I will bear it in mind    How do I test my water hardness?   Thanks   -L   Thank you, I will do! I have read it should take about 6 weeks, but obviously depends on the tank size etc   -L

Hi,   I have never kept fish before, but have just bought a 25L fish tank. I know 25L is not very big, but I do not have any room for anything larger.I am not planning to have many fish, but I wondered if anyone can give me any advice on what fish I can keep in this tank? I don't want them to...
