Thanks Sue - but it really would be down to the buyer - I don't have the ability to help at all!

Thanks Emo Kid might do that

I have a 300 litre Juwel Rio tank (approx. 4 foot by 18 inches by 2 foot high) which I've had for seven years. It's the dark wood effect with cupboards underneath. Unfortunately due to a recent diagnosis of terminal cancer, I can no longer look after it. It's low tech - no modifications and...

My Name: Majjie My Gourami: Trichogaster leeri: Lace Gourami (I think that's a much more descriptive and accurate name than Pearl) - two now but up to five in the past (in a 300 litre tank) Tankmates of My Gourami: honey gourami, various tetras, rasboras, danios, corys, chain loaches - has...

No - I agree Minnnt - I like my one because he's a bit of a character but I wouldn't deliberately buy more

No problem - I'm not really expecting you to find the links. I just suspect that the studies aren't relevant to water changes in domestic fish tanks. Assaying hormones is difficult and you'd have to allow for the fact that many hormones are likely to be unstable in aquarium conditions and...

As I said - I don't want to get into an argument - the above is simply my point of view - take it or leave it. I'm not about to change what I do. I'm aware that a stable pH is desirable - that's why I mentioned it as a possible problem - and that's why I monitor it. At the moment mine is. I...

I don't really want to get into the argument here ... but I want to reply to the op. I frequently leave my tank for four weeks without a water change. The main problem the fish have, is slightly restricted swimming room at the end of that period. The main problem I have is throwing away bucket...

I guess it must be a common mutation then. I've not seen one before. I may have warmed to mine - but I'm not sure I'd want a whole group of them!

Hi Folks. Long time no visit. My fish have had to take a back seat for the last few years ... but I still love them! I've had glowlight tetras ever since I started keeping fish seven years ago ... but you know how it is ... one after another they've died over the years until a few months ago...

Hi pippoodle ... been out all day today so only just seen your reply. Yes I've been good with the water changes recently - but will test the water over the weekend. You get a feel for whether everything's alright or not, don't you? All the other fish seem fine. I've just never seen anything...

Hi everyone. I've not visited the forum for a while ... too busy trying to earn a living ... but I've just popped in to ask if anyone has seen anything like this red lump before. Any ideas what it might be and what - if anything - I should do about it? He (or she?) is about three years old...

Male platys. I don't mind fish being boring ... it takes all sorts, after all. Female platys are fine ... but the boys are a complete pain. They think of nothing but sex, with food as a poor second. I separated the boys from the girls ... to stop being over-run with baby platys ... and the...

I know this thread is a few weeks old - but I thought I'd just add a bit to it. I bought a new bottle of Interpet Anti Whitespot a couple of months ago when some new fish came out in spots. I didn't look at the ingredients, I just used it and it worked fine. In the last couple of weeks...

I think you'd be fine with pearl gouramis in a big group because any aggression is less likely then. I have three in a 79 gal ... two females and a male. I had to take a second male out because the two males were fighting but I'm now thinking of putting the second male back with another two new...
