ok dokey, thanks again guys. Just got the ammonia today. Will put it in once I chill for a little while, hard day at work :crazy: Then I'll wait And wait... And wait... lol

Thanks BigIan, I'll get that tomorrow on my way to work. Yeah, I've been reading up on cycling and everything, I'm just one of those people that get confused easily :rolleyes: I have a test kit that tests Ammonia, Nitrite, nitrate and PH

Oh and thanks for that diademhill, those loaches look great! I'm browsing the net looking at pictures of them :) Oh I had no idea you could get it at boots - I better make sure I get the right one though, I'm kind of nervouse incase I chose one that harms them, I'll read through them all

Thanks everyone :D lol I dunno why we don't have a clue about the size, my dad threw the handbook out 'silly him'. I know it's more than 190litre corner tank, it must be the next one up, grr my dad's sooo dumb lol. I knew the main tank I have just now isn't big enough for clown loaches, I...

Any advice good/bad welcome please :)

It's been cycling for 3 weeks, I had baby fish in there but they died after a few days :-( The quarantine tank is 20 gallon, and (I've finally got the right size now!) my Juwel aquarium is 380 litres, it's one of those ones with the sort of bow front, when we got it my dad thought it was 190...

OK, I have had a quarantine tank set up for 3 weeks now, thought it would be handy after having a bad doze of ich in my main tank. Here's the stats - PH 6.6 AMMONIA 0 NITRITE 0 NITRATE 5.0 I said to my dad it's...

http://www.fishforever.co.uk/livebearers.html Check these pictures out <<< The male has what you call a gonopodium, a sort of elongated anal fin. The female has a 'fan-shaped' anal fin. Hope this helps on sexing your fish! :fish:

I hate it when a fish dies, because I'm really sensitive... Have a tissue anyone? :-(

I have a quarantine tank now, after a bad doze of ich (which killed my two clown loaches), I really regret not quarantining my fish when I first got them...I now have one set up and I feel a lot more safer in doing so :) It's better having new fish in a quarantine tank for a few weeks, than do...

Hiya, I'm like you, just new to this :) I've always had a tropical tank since I was small, but have only recently started getting really interested in it and doing the best to give good care to my fishes...Over the years fish I've had have had their tails bitten or caught a disease, but I...

LOL I know cat! I said that to my dad, but he's a joiner so he thinks he can do it...I have no idea what he's gonna do, we'll need a steel floor! Infact a steel floor is probably even more stupid - but you guys will get used to me saying silly things in good time :P

Thanks again! I really love those loaches you said...do they have the same characteristics as the clown loaches? You see, my dad just loved them to bits the way they lay on their side and threw pebbles about :( But I really like the ones you showed me, my main aquarium is juwel too, how many...

Thanks Bluezoo! My tank is 190litres (Please can you tell me this in US Gallons?-im rubbish at figuring it out :)) I dunno how it's all 0 - my dad put these things in 'that helps the tank cycle' or something, I did have baby fish in it-but they died :-(

Hey again, my problem of finrot and whitespot is cleared up nicely, just 2 more treatments to go. Unfortunately, during the whitespot, my two beloved clownloaches died :-( And they were my favourite fish. I have a quarantine tank set up just now, been going for over a week, how long before I...
