Have you tried cichlid pellets also, for your parrot. Lots to choose from and if you want to compromise on price then aim somewhere in the middle. Would be a good medium as you get what you pay for :)

Are you sure it's ich? Are there small white spots on the fish? They look like salt grains usually.

Yep, there's no getting away from that pesky wiff.....

Some live brine shrimp will go down a treat once or twice a week. Live daphnia or bloodworms also. You don't need to think about algae wafers or shrimp pellets as these are for bottom dwellers/feeders.   Flakes should be the staple though. Live food just a supplement. You can also try frozen or...

I've been miss sold clowns as well. I didn't know much about them but I explained I had a 55l tank and asked if this would be big enough. I also asked if two would be ok, do they prefer larger numbers. They said they would be fine. This was a guy who said he'd been fish keeping for 30 years. I...

Sounds like you planted it in the substrate, in which case it needs to be taken out and attached to rock or wood. It'll rot and die otherwise. Anubias are slow growers so nothing major will happen for a while :)

Well my angels and swordtails eat everything else I feed my cory's. Sinking wafers, algae wafers, shrimp pellets (angels go berzerk over shrimp pellets). This is why I'm considering a partition for feeding. There's honestly not much point in putting flakes in as they all just end up over fed and...

Would an LFS take them as a donation? Or maybe Ebay (collection only)? Sorry if these ideas have already been tried.    Nice one on the test kit 

  Most of mine aren't fussed, but my cory's go berzerk over them, which is very handy because the others go berzerk on everything else I try to feed them. They at least get to eat in peace with something... Considering a partition net, it's that bad!!

      This doesn't sound like a very happy sword tail to me. Agree with attibones that the stock is a bit high and to me your best bet is to find a way to move your tiger barbs on. Probably not what you want to hear, but they are not suitable both in the number you have and the size of your...

  They are looking great. Really bright....

Thanks. Just love the colours..... The whole tank really.... :)

Yep, I am glued...... 

Hope it goes well. Really interested to see how the led's work out :)

Really beautiful tank and the thread is a great read. Thanks for documenting and sharing. What are the two fish in the centre, orange and black stripe, in the picture above?
