Ah okay. I've had it for about 2 months now but never bothered to look up what it was until just recently as I'm planning to redo my tank. Just gave all of my platies to a friend and a few guppies as well and was trying to find good tank-mates for the new fish I have (neon tetra, black tetra...

Hey guys, I got this fish from my brother who finished with his tank and I have no idea what it is. Any help is appreciated.

Just a little bit pregnant. I put her in a floating breeding tank thing.

So after a couple of days there are still eggs in the tank, but significantly less. Looks like, even with what I did, the platies still munched on quite a few of the eggs :/ Shame, but there are still a lot. Next time I'll be more prepared.

Crap! After further research I figured out that they are Corydora eggs, so I ran downstairs to protect the ones who hadn't been eaten yet by the platies. I saved the majority I think. This is pretty cool though, first bunch of eggs in the new tank, and we've had these Corys for a couple of years.

Hello again! Just a quick question, got some white spots on the side of my glass and have NO idea what they are. My immediate reaction was that they were eggs, because they're just round, pale balls on different areas of the glass. I've looked around, but most of the time when people talk about...

So I done a 50% water change today... got some AquaSafe dechlor, but I think I put more in than the recommended dose, can this be dangerous? Also I lost 3 more fish today and my yoyo loach, pretty sad about that. He was our favourite in that community :sad: I also got some fluval ammonia...

Seems like everything is sorted now, but here is the video that comes on the DVD you get when you buy the Fluval x05 filters. Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbh3Ii7Qero Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wXdPOSNU2s

Okay, I'll ask her when the next time she cleans hers out is and offer to do it for her. Do I just squeeze out the pads (its an internal filter she has) into my water near the intake? Also, found 4 dead platies just a moment ago and whilst I'm not sure how old they are, I doubt 4 would die at...

Hey guys, Christmas is over and I hope everyone had a nice one. Quick update on my tank. Getting a testing kit tomorrow from the LFS and then am going to ask about giving them some of our Platties and Guppies (they took my pleco in). If they ask why, I'm going to just say my next door neighbour...

I have always wondered though... regular ceramic rings or those bio balls?

Okay, I'm not loosing any fish (despite it still being over stocked) and all the fish seem healthy. Cloudiness has gone away (although their is still a subtle mist) and after Christmas I'm going to see if the fish shop will take all my guppies and most of my Platies (might leave 2 females 1...

I understand the other stuff I'll need and I'm fine with spending the money for it, the only reason I included the bubble counter with the seconds and third option was to offset the cost from the first. My bro works on a building site and got me a couple of CO2 FE's for me to use, and as far as...

Been looking around for a good regulator and solenoid that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I've come across a few options whilst browsing various online stores and need help deciding. The first (and most expensive) options I found is this: Sold on ebay for £84.94 (inc. shipping) This is...

More questions, sorry guys :unsure: I was under the impression that you had to use an air stone in tanks to oxygenate the water for fish, is this true? I was reading that you should get rid of an air stone (I have one of those bubble wand things) if you inject CO2 otherwise the CO2 will just...
