I don't even know if I can be bovered to reply to this. For god sake, I'm 14, I made a mistake. I killed a fish accidently, and I'm angry that happened, I did things wrongly and it probably was because I ignored advice and didn't take in all the information. You say we were all newbies, and of...

I haven't been ignoring it, I've taken advice and made a few mistakes, I'm just going to forget about this site now and find somewhere else, a lot of people have helped me and I thank those people, but there are so MANY people that are so full of themselves and don't accept people make mistakes...

Shutup, I'm a beginner and I made a mistake, I'm annoyed that I let that poor little fish die, but it doesn't help, when I have people that are really far up their own 'bottoms' telling me that I ignored information.

Thanks for the help

It was cycled, for a week actually. And the petshop owner told me it would be fine in that tank.

Don't worry bought it guys, he's dead now =[ dunno why but I will try to find out Thanks for the help.

I bought a fig 8 yesterday, in the shop it was kept in brackish water and seemed fine. I bought it home, and its in a tropical aquarium by itself, im going to make it brackish as soon as I can buy a hydrometer, in the next few days. I woke up this morning, and it's stuck behind the heater, I...

I want to achieve 1.005 Salinity, how many grams is that?

Hi, I've got a 20L Tropical Aquarium and I want to convert it to brackish, I've got a box of 'Tropic Marin' sea salt, the instructions really aren't very clear on the box, I will buy a Hydrometer but I just want to know roughly how much to add. Thanks George

Hi, Soon to get a figure eight puffer (as you can probably guess by the amount of topics I've posted!) I will feed it cockles and snails and whatever to keep it's teeth (do they have teeth?) trimmed. But my LFS also sell frozen lance fish, whole. They look like frozen tetras. Will they eat...

Thanks very much for your reply, I will try it, the dwarfs are so cute, but the figure eights are good looking.

Thanks for the replys, I have an Aqua-Flow 100 (it came in a 'Superfish' package deal) Its just sponge, but in the middle it has these like little pellets. Thanks George

Hello people, Currently doing a fishless cycle, added sand, but even though I rinsed it a lot, the water is still very cloudy, and it's not really clearing, is this because my filter, is just sponge? Or will it just clear eventualy? Thanks

So since the dwarf puffers are so small, they will just be eaten by the fig 8's? Thanks for the reply

Helloooo people, I'm getting a figure eight puffer within the next couple of weeks, and if I do get more than one, apparently I should get them at the same time. I would like to get two, but I want them to be different types (I know it's sad, but it's so I can tell them apart, so I can name...
