Awesome, I'll have a look at them! Much appreciated guys!

So after near enough 18 months since I upgraded my tank I'm looking to reshuffle my stock a bit. The other day I was in my LFS and stumbled across some Cockatoo dwarf Cichlids (Apistogramma Cacatuoides) and was just wondering how they would get on with some of my other inhabitants.   So the fish...

Sorry completely wrong thread ha! I'll cope and paste this over so if a mod can delete it please.

I got a couple going back a year or so now as juveniles so they're more or less fully grown now, and I've since added another a few months back and all three get on, other than the odd chase round the tank. From what I read before I got them the male/female ratio doesn't matter as much as other...

Wow haven't checked this in a while, some great advice, thanks guys!     Yep, I'm doing my tank up soon so will be doing this too any plants entering, there's only a small crop of Vallis left so will do the same to them!         Haha would love too! I had a similar problem when I got my last...

Awesome, thanks for that!

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll definitely give that a go, would rinsing the sand through with hot/boiling water also help at all?   And yep, since I realised just how many there were I've cut back on the food!

So I'm looking to give my tank a bit of a rescape in the next couple of weeks, I'll be removing the fish so I can get in there without worrying about them while I replant and change the decor over. Now for the past few months my tank has been inundated with snails, in particular Malaysian...

So as the title suggests I'm looking at alternative lighting, I'm currently running 2x 20watt sunlight florescent tubes in a hood, which is what Aqua One suggest to use. The tank is also from Aqua One and is a UFO  700 corner tank, dimensions which I've measured are 60cm front to back, 100cm at...

So I've has my current 175L set up running for just under a year since I upgraded from my old 100L tank, and I've really enjoyed the process. It's been the first tank where I've started from scratch and properly researched the stock as well as trying to make it as natural and as close too a...

Haven't had angelfish before but I was looking at them when I upgraded my tank, the general feedback and information out there is that you can either keep them singularly, a proven breeding pair or as a large group of 5/6+. So really your only option would be as a singleton and that's if your...

I've very rarely seen them in LFS's, in fact the only times I've seen them I've bought them! Main issue with them is that unless you know specifically what they are and want them, they're pretty boring, and won't sell, for example the second time I saw them the same batch were there for several...

+1 for Banjo Catfish! Not only are they great for stirring up sand where they bury and spend their day but I they're something different and it's always a treat when they do come out to forage for food before the lights go out. They also don't have any particular requirements or needs other than...

I'm by no means experienced when it comes to plants but I've also set up a black water tank and looked into what plants are best in these conditions. Generally not too many plants are found in black water conditions as it's too acidic for them to grow well. I've put in vallis and amazon frogbit...
