Yes I am aware that bettas do not like currents. This is the filter I had...

Ok so I've decided not to invest in a new tank and use a 28L I already have which i used years ago for a betta. The problem I had then was my filter was too weak and the water movement was so little that the tank was becoming slimey. I need advice on a suitable filter that isn't too strong for...

Hi all. After giving up fish keeping a few years ago I've got the bug back! I'm looking into getting a small tank for my study. No more than 20L to do a planted tank with shrimp and a betta. I visited pets at home today and saw a interpet edge glow which was 18L. But unfortunately they had...

I was only planning on putting 1 fish in it, looks like I'll have to send the filter back

I know this should be in the pond section but thought I would most likely get a reply posting here. I moved into a new house that had a pond but had no filter just a decorative fountain pump and 4 fish. The fish died in the winter unsurprisingly. So as the weather has started to get better I...

So this morning I've managed to get the pump out to have a look at it. And from what I can tell it's not been out of the pond since it was put in many years ago. The previous owner has threaded the wire through a piece of hosepipe and buried it under the garden..... across and up under the...

I've got a testing kits from when I had my tropical fish, can I use that to test? First thing tomorrow I'll unplug the water feature from in the shed and take it out and have a look, I've only had it on for a few seconds to show someone. There is no other type of filter in there but the fish...

Exactly. I've kept tropical fish before for a few years so I was shocked to see they had all died at the same time.... very very odd and actually concerned about it..

well im not sure what has happened, but I discovered yesterday that all the fish had died..... I last looked at it on Sunday, when I looked at it Wednesday they were all floating. and I have no idea why. could it have been the awful weather? these fish must have been years old, they were all a...

ive moved house and inherited a fish pond. the weather has been terrible the last few weeks and ive just not got around to having a good look at it. I know it isn't running a filter, it has a water feature which is turned on via the shed on the other side of the garden but im guessing the wires...

Not the best photo I know, it arrived a few months ago on a plant but it was tiny, it's now about the size of a 5p, it's almost see through and you can see its heart beating. It's so weird and I have no idea what it is!! It's the only one in the tank for sure! So any ideas what it is? Thanks in...

so I didn't get any fish :( when I got to the shop it said on the little card that they are best kept in groups, so I didn't know what to do!!   so I thought best to check here before i do anything!   im going again next week so hopefully i will be able to get one then!

We'll guys I finally got my tank, and I did get my new job!! So while I have my week off before I start my new job I will be getting my new fish!! I'm off to get it tomorrow so I will post some pics of my tank, got a hell of a lot of plants in there, needs to be sorted out really they are...

Unfortunately buddy died a few days ago, I treated him on 3 different times and he never improved, I'm not sure what was wrong with him :(
