Thanks for the ideas. I have sand in the bottom of my tank and lots of plants in one third of the tank, some wood and pebbels. I have been looking at honey yellow gourami and think I might add a trio of them, possibly some neon blue dwarf rainbow fish and panda cory also. Will take a look at...

Hi, thanks for the comments. Yes my tank is cycled and all four fish look female to me. I was thinking of dwarf gourami next and possibly some panda cory and later on some kind of pleco, not too big, maybee a bristle nose or a clown pleco. I havent looked into sword tails before, I'll have a...

So I went to the LFS today to purchase my first fish for my new 94 liter tank. I had all different kinds in mind but not platys, never really drawn to them. So what did I bring home? 4 x red platy and I'm glad I did, they look wonderfull! What to get next??????? Any ideas any one?

Thanks for the replies. I was looking for bottom , mid and top dwelling fish, some variety in terms of colours and size but still safe together. After doing a little reading I thought these would be okay. If you think there not that well suited that is fine but it would be nice for some...

Hi, I got a new tank, 94 litres, and am looking for ideas on stocking. I was thinking of possibly: 2x dwarf gourami 10x harliquins 5x panda cory Thoughts and opinions welcomed and your ideas on what to stock welcomed, I'm open to any ideas. Thanks a lot Mac.

Hello I've just got a tank (river reef 94 liter) it's set up and setteling, will do a nitrogen cycle first but I was wondering if it was possible to put several different types of gourami together in it? I was thinking of a couple of dwarf gourami, several honey gourami and a pair of powder...

Very cool set up mate!!! Thanks for the reply.

Hi thinking of getting a 3D background :cool: and thought I would start a thread off..... Show us your 3D backgrounds :thanks:

Yeh, I'll proceed with caution and only add a couple of fish at a time, giving the tank plenty of time to ajust before adding the next few. Thanks every one for you advice with this :thanks:

OK, I think I understand the point of chemicals like Nutrafin cycle now, it is basically a safer way of doing the fish in cycle. Over a period of three days you add loads of the good bacteria to bump start the cycle but you still need to add only a couple of fish for a couple of weeks to fully...

Thanks, I'll have a read up. Good luck with your new tank, I've seen safe start in the shop, there seems to be lots of options.

I'm reading up on cycling, all very confusing. I feel a fishless cycle would be safer for a newbie like me :good:

Hi, I'm looking at geting a new tank and am also brand new to fish ownership, looking to get my tank soon and had been looking at what to do to set up a tropical tank. I understand the need to cycle the tank and had found many products such as Nutrafin cycle that claim to make a tank safe in...

Hello to everyone here, this is my first ever post on your fourm. I've managed to pursuade my wife that having fish is a must and she has agreed to let me get a tropical tank set up. I'm limited on space and am looking at a Juwel rekord 700, after reading about tanks I think this is a good one...
