Thanks for the advice. I think I must have a duff one. Shiner.

Thanks Annastasia. I ran out to the lfs on Saturday and bought four Platy's. There are now: 4 Male Platy 5 Male Guppy (various colours) 4 Neon Tetra 1 Pepper Cory So 14 in total. The Cory does seem happy enough, but I spoke with guy at the lfs and he is happy to take him in. I think you are...

Can anyone recommend a decent, reasonably priced air pump for a 15gal tank? My Rena one just seems to be getting louder and louder. My lovely wife getting a bit annoyed and may want the tank out of the room. Any help appreciated from you guys and gals in fish forum land. shiner.

The tank is a 15gallon Clear Seal job. It is quite old fashioned looking but I couldnt let the guys at work throw it in the skip. I have done a water test this evening (done it every evening so far and am being a bit of a saddo by keeping a log of it all) and the amonia/nitrite levels are...

I think I may have missed something here. My filter media is the under gravel type. I was wondering about this as maybe this is not enough to filter the tank properly. If this is the case, do I need to get another filtration system from the lfs? Regarding the Cory. I am decided now that he...

First of all as I have only recently joined this forum I would like to say hi and say thanks for having me here. I have adopted a 2ft 15gal Clear Seal tank for a guy at my work as they couldnt run it any longer and I kept it running less fish for approx a week and a half. The tank has now been...

i have been running my inherited tank for the past three weeks (before i had it, it was running for approx three years), and I was pretty pleased to see the amonia/nitrite levels were pretty near perfect (amonia 0, nitrite less than 0.3mgs) but the ph levels have remained static at 8.0. I am now...

I have inherited a Clear Seal 24in(L) x 12in(W) x 15in(H). I have changed the original filter tray and the uplift tube for a Rena design. The fish were kept by the owner and I have kept the original gravel plus a few largish rocks. There is also an air bar at the bottom of the tank and an...
