Thanks for all the suggestions guys, much appreciated. The lighting isn't too good so I think i'll go with some hairgrass, 3 more java ferns for the wood and some amazon sword. Thankfully the vallis has also thickened out since the pic. Thanks again- I'll post a pic of the updated tank when I...

Thanks guys. The vallis are starting to produce runners, so I'll keep replanting those along the back   He sure is. I was surprised to find him in my local P@H

Hi guys. If you have any suggestions for improvement it'd be much appreciated. Thanks

Just feed as much as he eats in about 40 ish seconds, it's not an exact science  

My Standard Poodle I'll post the verification pic asap

Do you know what wattage the bulbs are, or could post a pic? Are you waning to add more/different plants? If you're wanting to keep easy plants (e.g Anubias, Java fern, Moss, cabomba, Amazon Sword etc) you shouldn't need to add any fertiliser as long as the tank is stocked with some fish.

that'd be fine. As long as the water's really clean it should heal up nicely =)

it's probably fin rot then. Increase the % of water you remove and replace by 20% and use a fin rot treatment =D

A cheap plant from p@h is just £2.20 ish and would be really beneficial for him.

I can only assume that either the fish were ill when you bought them or died due to the stress of introducing them to the tank. Post the results of the water test on here and keep an eye on the other fish =D

To me, from what i can see it looks like fin nipping. Is he the only fish that this has occured to? Is the rear fin the only place where he's lost some fin? Is there any white around the edge, or is it just a clean cut? (does it look like it's peeling anywhere on his body?)

I would strongly reccommend a dechlorinator. It removes chlorine that is present in tap water, as it can damage the fishs' slime coat, and removes heavy metals and chloramines. How did you go about introducing the 2 mollies to the tank?

You can add a bit of warm water to take the sharpness out of the cold water (considering your house is relatively modern). But it shouldn't be a problem considering you add the new tap water to the tank slowly =D

Have you "cycled" your tank? Did you use a dechlorinator when adding the tap water? Are the other fish in the tank visibly healthy? How long has the tank been set up for? How big is the tank?

it really doesn't matter, everyone has their own rules and opinions, every other day is fine =D
