one of those ate my mums 2 full grown oscars over night the day she brought it home. it was only little when she got it as well. i'd be really careful

i've had cats, one brought me a mouse *barf* lol. but when i still lived with my parents, we had an outdoor bunny called bubble (on topic, i swear :P) my neighbours on one side had 2 cats called sage and onion. my neighbour on the other side had a black cat called sooty. anyhoo, one day when...

heya, have you got your ferrets yet? and what area are you located in? as i am in winsford, cheshire and have 2 hob kits (approx 11 weeks old) going for free that are looking for a nice new home :)

ermmm, not sure on the lighting, it's a juwel rio (the 4foot one) and has the light that came with it. i bought it second hand so i don't have any idea lol. asked the guy when i bought some plants from my LFS and he gave me a bottle of "the best" apparantly. it was only £5 for a hundred ml...

so i was looking on a website called Java I have heard mixed reviews and know that the plants often arrive looking less than impressive. However for the price you can't really complain. Anyhow I am looking at the "packs" of plants they sell. I havent any fish as yet and wanted to experiment...

thanks everyone :)

Hi all I am looking into getting some plants for my tank. it’s a jewel rekord 800 - 4ft x 1ft x 1ft with gravel I am looking for some plants that are easy to maintain and won’t need me to add CO2. Im a complete beginner, so easy plants are a must. I have already decided on java fern. I don’t...

thank you for the advice :) have been asking around and am trying to get something from an established tank. have a few fish stores to visit tomorrow as well, so can ask if they sell anything also. i was wondering, there is a shop called cheshire-waterlife that is quite near me, it says there...

thank you everyone again :) it is a second hand one, so am not quite sure what it comes with. it has a stand and a heater, but i think i will have to get the filter etc. i have got money there to buy whatever else i need :) shoooppppiiiinnnng :P my grandad kept tropical fish and passed down the...

Hi and thanks for all the advice. I shall work my way through the links. I thought that cycling took around a week or two and that then I would be ready to start slowly introducing some fish. Or have I misread that somewhere? I have the API testing kit on order and it should arrive before I go...

my little boy has a second birthday coming up. after a lot of thought i have decided to buy a tropical fish tank because he loves fish (a rather selfish gift, because i have always wanted one too lol) i have only ever kept goldfish before (in one of those small hexagonal plastic fish tanks lol)...
