That was the first time in this tank. Unfortunately no survivors :( Moved the plant with the eggs to a separate tank in my bedroom, but my girlfriend was unable to sleep while air pump was on. Switched it off and the eggs went white the next morning :( Zoomed in and clearer picture from 2nd...

Male and female. Great looking male with a bit more red colour than you would normally see. Still young, but very good parents. Managed to raise a few generations of young in my community tank without any help. Awesome fish, but not ideal for my new setup with hair grass and other little plants...

Arrived today! Just on time! On Saturday?! A little bit strange how they do ship things tho. After a week of placing my order received email, that it's with their dispatch team now. Was disappointed at first thinking I'll have to wait another week for arrival from Germany, but it took them only...

How are lunapet with shipping to the UK? I looks like they are Germany based

Hi all, now that I'm restarting my tank and making it proper planted this time, I need a simple not too expensive solenoid for my CO2. In a weeks time my holiday is over and i'll have to use some automated solution. Two questions: 1. Are there different tube diameters depending on the model of...

that's not an option for me - i'd rather have tank without fish than tank without live plants :)

Any suggestions? Anything that's been tested and works ok? Still reading and trying to figure out :) then just go to any local shop and get it

If it helps - I'm not using any very difficult plants. And thinking about temporarily getting a bunch of very fast growing hardy cheap floating plants, to use nutrients while the others are growing, just o keep algae away. Is that good idea?

Hello everyone, since I've got 2 weeks holiday and spending it at home this time, decided that it's a great time to do a complete restart on my 125L (around 33 Us gallons) tank. It's going to be heavy planted. Got a plan how it should look like. Got medium lights - 2 x T8 with reflectors...

I do remember that when I was still young and good looking child(about 20 years ago that was) we used to grow these in our tanks and they were always green and healthy. And that was in USSR, where CO2 in aquariums wasn't invented yet :) that's why i was quite disappointed when they just started...

Thought so... Thanks! Do you know scientific name? For some reason it was growing to the length only and started to look quite poor - you can see this in the picture :( Suvalkietis Playing offline I'm blogging everything about what's happening in my tank on my aquarium blog

Very simple question: since my main language is not english i do struggle sometimes with the names. Any suggestions what's the plant? It's the only one in my tank that didn't like something and was slowly dying. Had to throw it out and get some replacement. Suvalkietis Playing Offline I'm...

Hi Amy, Since my good camera was stolen from my house this spring I was using my very very old Canon. The trick here is an external flash on the tripod above the tank. Because exposure was metered to that bright area on the Echinodorus leaf picture has this mysterious dark feeling. By the way...

For the last week my focus was on the pair of breeding Kribensis, but now they are happily swimming around it's time for angels :) I'll keep posting and taking pictures!
