    Cuttlebone in a tropical aquarium - bad idea?

    Hey, So I have picked up some cuttlebone from my trip to the beach yesterday as I vaguely remember it being a good source of calcium for my nitrite snails. Obviously it's been in salty water so is it a bad idea to put some in a tropical tank after cleaning it? If it's not a bad idea what's...

    Update aquarium size - recommendations?

    I think without my husband divorcing me, length no more than 40 inches and width 18 inches, not too concerned on height but I am 5ft 7 so not massively high! Would rather buy from shop/online to have some warranty but if second hand meets my budget than so be it. Within 250-300 price range...

    Update aquarium size - recommendations?

    Hiya, So I have had a 64 litre tank for about two years, now I think I have mastered how to do all the necessary water changes/cleaning gravel and maintaining good water perimeters. I feel sort of brave enough to get a bigger tank. I can't be too massive because of space but definitely want...

    Bulldog pleco - hiding

    I bought a bulldog pleco the other day and I'm pretty certain I put him in the tank... Haven't seen him since, literally can't find him in any nook and cranny. Now I'm worried he's jumped out and my cats had him for a snack! Any known way to entice a pleco out of hiding just so I can check he's...

    Male guppy trying to mate with my male platy - help

    Thanks, potentially is bullying, although they're both orange so wondering if he's just slightly confused 🤣. I've removed the guppies now and got in a separate tank until I figure out what to do next with them.

    Male guppy trying to mate with my male platy - help

    It's 64 litres so I could get a couple more? but I can't see how getting more platys would deter this guppies fancy of a platy haha

    Male guppy trying to mate with my male platy - help

    Hi, So I have 6 male guppies and I had two male platys but now I have one. And the poor platy is getting harassed by a horny male guppy, which is making him shy and hide away. I think the guppy stressed out my last platy for the same reason and unfortunately died so I don't want the same to...

    Nitrate, hardness and cloudy water problem

    I have had an aquatic frog before in my teens and was wondering if these fish were passive as it was on my mind to get another at some point. Only problem I had with my last aquatic frog was from a bully angel fish who tried to nip his legs if he swam to close. They seem to be ok if they're with...
