    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...

    ... embarking on new missions, to boldly go where no loach has gone before...

    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...

    Unusual stocking suggestions for a small but tall tank

    I don't have any suggestions for the water column, but I do have a suggestion for a totally interesting 'clean-up' fish, to look after your plants and deal with algae and leftovers etc... it will work only as long as you have a lidded tank because the little critters can and will climb out...

    Which live food/s would be best for kuhlii loaches?

    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...

    When a Blessing Becomes A Curse

    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...

    I could use some ideas please

    How about a 3D tank backing? I definitely have not had much luck with live plants so, other than the petrified wood, tumbled moss agate stones and a couple of pieces of labradorite, only the fish and substrate are 'real'. Some people are of the opinion that background can detract from the...
