Hi all I have a couple of questions regarding feeding. I tend to feed small pellets and bloodworms maybe once or twice a week. I stick to a rule of feed them as much as they will eat in a minute. This wasn't very much when I housed my fiirst fish but now the tetra in particular seem to eat...

Ive added a couple of assasins recently and my pest snails have been reduced to next to notthing

cool thanks, I kind of regretted the gravel once i saw tanks with sand and just wondered if it wouldnt make the water go hideous and cloudy if I tried to add sand into the water..I may well give this a go soon

sorry to hijack I have gravel at the moment can anyone advise how I might switch to sand the process I would need to go about adding the sand and removing the gravel ? thanks

Is that 1 bolivian ram or 1 apistogramma as a sort of centre peice fish ? How large might they grow ? I will up the shoals next anyway and probably a couple of weeks of good water quality. Thanks for your input really appreciate it.

Bit of an update, I have performed daily water changes all week but I still lost the final guppy :( although I have a question on it as the day before it died it developed a small hole in the middle of its fin and when I found it the next morning its fin had split down the middle creating a...

Thank you Aquascaper, I followe directions I had read and from local Aquatic shop so pretty gutted right now as it could have been easilly avoided. I will follow your advice on the testing kit and have read this afternoon fish in cycling so have a better understanding. I currently have 10 fish...
