All gone to new good home! :good:

Hi muay, Can you collect either Thursday or Friday? I don't have anything to put the fish in if you are intending to take them out for transport, I'm afraid, so you will need to sort something out if poss. I will send you my address as not sure which part of Sheffield you are in.

This is the tank now. As you can see, its much darker due to algae and plant growth. You can see some of the corys, two of the frogs and poor betta.

Thank you, you're all fantastic. Ok, I'm attaching photos. The first is of the tank in better times. The problems now are that due to the cycling starting again (I did fishless cycle to begin with, but admittedly over-stocked as I'm new to this), the levels have never got back in the right...

Ok, I don't have a recent photo. This is a photo from when all was well. I'm sorry to say that this is not the case anymore. However, someone with more experience should be able to save the situation. Understand that my all went into trying to get the water parameters back into an acceptable...

Hi Shaddex, That would be fantastic, if you could. I will get a pic as soon as. Only thing is, is there any chance you can do a different day for collection, Monday, Thursday or Friday? Because I won't be at home on the Tues. Let me know.

FREE TO GOOD HOME - Unsure what else to do, needs rescuing. Good tank, sick betta, livestock included. Livestock/Equipment make-model-size/Wanted/Exchange/Plants:10g Via aqua VA380 tank. Has inbuilt filter which no longer works, but also new filter, better than the original filter. Inbuilt...

i don't know. Thanks for the suggestions. i'm pretty sure normal bog standard pond snails lay their eggs under water on plants leaves and things, i'm hoping so anyway as i've had a lot of eggs recently and was presuming they were just snails. It has stopped for the time being but i've been...

Today my pond snail just wants to escape and keeps coming up out of the water (the water is not to the top as i have surface breathers) Why is it doing this and what can i do?? i checked the water and it's ok - Ammonia and nitrite 0, i did a big pwc this morning. What else could be wrong? i have...

A type of Macrobrachium shrimp?

:whistle: :D

How about 'green lace shrimp' (atyoida pilipes)? They grow to 2-3 inches and pics i've seen look very similar to your shrimp. The eyes on yours look strange though, not like anything i've seen.

i'm getting betta's new home ready but i'm not sure on what type of filter would be best for his tank. The filter with the tank i'm not sure if i want to use as the output works like a HOB, like a waterfall, breaking up the surface. i'm not sure what would be ideal, i guess something which...

i know, but to be honest i don't know how people even photograph their bettas. Mine, although he'll be perfectly still will still come out blurry, i think because the shutter speed is soooo slow, although this only happens when i try to photograph him. Good to know though, maybe i'm just being...

Yesterday: 8am: NH3 0.50 NO-2 0 70% pwc NH3 0.50 NO-2 80% pwc 1pm: NH3 0 NO-2 0 NO-3 0 9pm: NH3 0 NO-2 0 Today: 9am: NH3 0.25-0.50 NO-2 0 80% pwc i'm worried i still don't have nitrites, or haven't had for a while. If there are no nitrites and no nitrates then surely nothing...
