Thanks for this info BigIan. The above, especially the Lack of Potassium is very similar to what my plants are doing. Are there any Iron/Nitrogen/Potassium additives that can be purchased from a Fish Shop that can help the plants? If so, will these cause any problems with the fish? I'm...

I'm having trouble keeping my plants alive. Although they seem to be still growing, even when I trim them, they still look droopy and unpleasant. Just two days ago now I bought a piece of drift wood which had a plant growing on it. probably around 20cm in height, about 15cm in width - quite a...

I went and seen someone at a fish shop where all they specialise in is pretty much gold and tropical fish. The lady I spoke to seemed pretty knowledgeable and informed me that so long as the bubbles aren't throwing the fish around or creating a current that is too strong for them to swim...

Sorry for starting an argument guys. I thought everyone would do it a similar way but have a couple of different small techniques they use which help in the process. Although I am just a newbie, I honestly don't see any point myself in taking all the fish out as well as plants etc. Although...

There are some magnificent looking aquariums out there, some of which I could imagine cost a few $$$$ to setup and maintain. That said, although I'm just a beginner at tropical fish keeping I would defiantly love to get more involved in it. I'm curious to know how exactly people go about...

I forgot, but that air stone I mentioned above, should it be safe to run 24/7? It just sits on the right hand side of the tank creating lots of bubbles.

That's not very good news but thanks a lot for your help. Greatly appreciated. Cheers! :)

Ammonia = 0 ppm Nitrite = 0 ppm Nitrate = 5~ ppm Ph = 8~ Only 10x 1" fish? Bugger! If that is the case, then I would definitely have to many. I was under the impression 20 odd small fish would be rather comfy in that tank. The tank has been running for just over 2 months. If it is a case...

I keep finding dead fish in my tank and I have no idea why. 34 Litre Tank Ph levels are good. Ammonia and Nitrite levels appear good. Nitrate levels are ok but could be little better. I have an air stone running 24/7 for aeration (should this be turned off at all or should it be left...

I have yep and it's pretty much perfect. Looks as if regular water changes is the way to go. I went out and bought some live plants today. Apparently they help as well? The fish seem to like them as well.

Ok, I will continue doing the water changes and hopefully things will slowly get better. Yep, always adding dechlorinator etc. Thanks for your advice.

I'm quite new to tropical fish keeping. I've had a 35 Liter tank running for almost 8 weeks. The last 6 weeks I have had fish in the tank, generally just Neon Tetras - small and cheap while I become a little more experienced with tropical fish keeping. These Tetras have been dying off 1 by 1...
