hi thanks for the replies , the nitrate is a guess , the kit I am using is a api one , its showing yellow ( 0%) but a slight tint a  of orange so I  put 1% probably lower than that tho to be honest , the litre size of my tank  was a guess as I got it made to fit the alcove in the living room ,  ...

hi there , could anyone shed any light on what is happening with my guppies , the guppies in my tank over the last 3 months have slowly but surely started dying off, I have had loads of guppies in my tank for a year nearly all of them were born in there, every thing was great, I was  getting...

yes it is planted , I have about 20 cobumbas  but as its a big tank 150ltr ? , it aint cluttered up , with plenty of space , ok I will stick to the 10% as its staying steady on the nitrates , Thanks Eddy

I have been doing once a week 10% change , do you think I need to up it to 25% a week , I haven't had any fish problems and the parameters are ok , Ed

hi everyone , can I please have some ball park advise on water weekly changes,   I have read that it should be 10 - 25 % a week , but I also read that it should be 10% every three weeks,   the water in my tank has now cycled and has been steady for the last 6 weeks at   ph 7.6   ammonia 0ppm  ...

hi everyone , my mollie had some fry about 4 weeks ago , the ones that  survived are growing great , but one has a tail that is hardly there , just a couple of strands for a tail , it is growing ok same as the others , but do I get rid of it , as it might struggle later on , or do I let nature...

hi , thanks for the reply , no I haven't added anything at all , so im a bit confused why its happened , I will do a gravle clean tomorrow when I do a water change , the only thing I can think that it maybe , I have been doing a 10% water change every day while waiting for the filter to mature ...

hi everyone ,   My tank has been running now for 5 - 6 weeks , every thing has been ok , But the ammonia and the nitrates have gone up slightly today than last week , so I have done a 10% water change , but I am wondering if the gravel might need a clean , to be honest it looks ok , when will be...

hi , they are in inches,

hi to you all thanks for the welcome ,   it started for me 20 years or so ago , I decide to get a fish tank and some fish , to get good advice in them days was quite hard to be honest  , the books were far to hard to under stand , the lfs just wanted you to buy any type of fish  no matter what...
