I have three buckets which are for Fish Tank use only.

MBOU,   I will look in to this, obviously house hold goods are used such as polish, glass cleaner (not directly to do with the tank), although i have sprayed some on some kitchen towel in the past to clean the glass of the tank (hood always down and away from tank) and have never had any issues...

Many thanks MBOU, don't think i will have the last two for much longer, but will do another part water change in the morning if I can just add the Aqua + and then use it straight away, Just annoying not knowing what the cause is, but these things happen.  ;-(

MBOU,   Many thanks for the quick response, the original water that may have created this issue has now been poured away, I have added / re-placed 10 ltrs, done another test to which the PH was a little higher, but not by much, i do not have exact figures i am affraid and may not have time to...

Evening,   I have an Askoll Pure 94Ltr tropical fish tank, this tank is established and 9 months old, it  contained a 6 month old Bristlenose Plec,4 neon Tetra, 2 Bronze Cory, 2 Bitia Lohachata, a male Gourami and 2 females with 5 Hakari Danio. There were also a few cleaning snails in the tank...

I will add the pleco and leave it at that I think, water checks are spot on and all fish appear happy with one of them watching TV with me this evening lol.....I am a little disappointed with aquatic centre for saying i could still add 2 x Bristlenose Plec, 2 x xshrimp and 5 x guppie, when it...

It is one of those days or weeks lol.......Right it is an ASKOLL PURE XL......94 ltr tank........might be easier with my dyslexic keyboard for you to double check on google (other network providers are available ! lol

Original thread should have said 24ltr (UK) tank, not 194ltrs..........This is 20.68 imperial gallons.

That makes sense to me, thanks....will look at my tank and see what I can do prior to purchasing the Plec......My local aquatic centre have a breading pair of Plecs and the babies are not yet ready for sale. Many thanks

PIKE (Love it)......Many thanks for your reply, always good to hear from others who have more experience, obviously my main concern is for the welfare of the fish and their surroundings, it is for this reason and after reading various articles I have decided to introduce the Bristlenose Plec who...

Thanks for taking the time to respond Fishaholic, I am about at my limit going by that rule of thumb......With the space I have I think I may get the Bristlenose Plec and a cave for him and leave it at that. Thanks again ;-)

I have purchased an ASKOLL PURE XL (194 ltr) tank, fantastic looking tank and really pleased with it, I have had it a few months and all going well. At the moment I have the following fish in it - * Neon Tetra x 8 * Bronze Cory x 2 * Yo Yo Loach x 2 *Red Gourami male x 2 and female x 2# *...

I have a 94ltr Askoll pure XL tank and three weeks ago purchased male and female (sold as pairs) of Red Gouramis, they looked great in the tank, so returned and purchased another pair a week later. They all seem to get on with each other, the males chasing the females now and then but no sings...
