Does anybody know a way to kill them off when preparing plants before putting them in the tank? Maybe a bleach wash or something similar? I was given some Wisteria cuttings and took a long time examining each leaf for eggs, and removed what I could find, while clipping off leaves that were...

I recommend green tetras - they're a little bit smaller than the neons and, having had a little school of 6, along with panda corydoras and kuhli loaches (I recommend an absolute minimum of 6 panda corys, with 10-12 being a better number for their happiness and your entertainment), as they are...

Congratulations!! Your aquarium and the reason behind creating such a stunning fish home are both truly beautiful. What a wonderful and well deserved win!! 🤩🤩

Here is my 98*50*50cm, 45 gallon crazy Panda/Community tank. After starting off in the hobby doing Everything Wrong, I finally set this up, cycled with Dr Tim's all in one and Ammonia until I got it right, 6 months ago. It is aquascaped using a combination of white and Nile River sand...

I agree! I have 2 black and 3 striped kuhli loaches, and they are all a bit less shy and very laid back compared to all I have read about them. When I feed live BBS, they are so comfortable with my hand being in the tank (with or without the pipette), that they will come out of their cube or out...

Well done!! Your tank is beautiful - it has a really peaceful and relaxing feel - well, that's what I felt when I looked at the picture. Lovely. 🐟

@Alice B I am relatively young at 57 but I am classified as >33% TPD due to 4 bulged discs - L3, L4,L5 & S1. I broke me in 2008 because "Superwoman" didn't let anything stop herself from working dayum hard including working 7 days/ week in 3 different jobs, including the building industry. Then...

I have only panda and peppered corydoras, 3 striped and 2 black kuhli loaches in my adult community tank. As I raise the panda and peppered cory fry in different tanks, I hatch my own baby brine shrimp as a first-food for the fry and a tasty supplement for the adults. Mumma Panda Cory DEMANDS...

Though I am not of your wise life length in years, I absolutely relate to the way you feel!! After an incredibly incompetent beginning in my journey back to keeping "a few fish" to keep me occupied while awaiting finalisation of a career/ workplace injury situation, I have done an incredible job...
