Hi, You could try giving the female lots of hiding places so she can get out of the way if possible. Then I expect he'll start chasing the others!lol I didn't know anything about livebearers when I got mine, the first babies arrived and I was thrilled( I thought it was such an achievement to get...

Hi,Andy. :unsure: diameter than the Hydor connector but if you purchase some pipe clips from a plumbers merchant or DIY store it works fine. Just make sure you tighten then up properly, I didn't and had a bit of a flood when I set the filter going! :unsure: The heater worked fine whilst the...

I bought one a few weeks ago, so far it's great. You can also use it for water change by attaching a tube on the side, lot easier than sucking the syphon tube and no fishy water!lol

Thats a good post, OrkyBetta. I'm new at this but even I get mad sometimes when I read peoples response to the advice they have been given. I've learn't such a lot just from reading other posts on this site and still got a way to go, just wish I'd found this site before getting my first tank!. I...

Hi Squid, I've bought several things from http:www.aquatics-online.co.uk, the service has been excellent and the prices good. There is more choice than my lfs and no hassle about driving there.

:) hi, glad you got it level now. I had the same problem today with my new tank (Juwel 180 Vision). My husband suggested putting coins( I used 2ps stuck together) underneath the feet as it wasn't a great deal out of level. It worked a treat and the good thing is you can't see them, unlike the...

My mollies go mad for cucumber, I tie some thread around a thickslice(1")and pull tight so that the thread cuts through to the middle then I sellotape the end of the thread to the outside of the tank. The cucumber is then suspended in the water but its easy to remove the piece when its nearly...
