I am setting up my first mbuna tank... I have two questions that need attention... 1) I do weekly water changes and my nitrate levels remain the same as that which comes out of the tap, i.e they have not increased... The problem is that the nitrate levels out of my tap are high (roughly 25-35)...

guys, Thanks for all the help... So hearing your advice do you think that this would be appropriate?? 3x yellow labs 3x electric blue johanni 3x rusty cichlids Then I am not really sure... Possibly some more yellow labs. I know that the johanni's can be quite aggressive but they are just so...

when I was doing my research I did see that white tops can be extremly aggressive??? Would you say a maximum of 15 would be a good bet?

it is a juwell rio 180 in length it is nearly 4 ft...what would you recommend? Ollie

Hi everyone, I am setting up my first mbuna tank. 180 liters. How many fish could I fit in using mbuna and could anyone suggest a stocking scheme to try and keep the aggression down because I realize 180 liters is a little on the small side??

Hi everyone, haven't been on the forum for a while... I have a juwel 180 which has been set up for a year (everything is running fine), i then left the tank with my dad for a month while i was on holiday... During this time black hair algae has plagued my tank... My plants are covered in in, so...

Just a quick question. Wanted to try out frozen bloodworm with my new tank... At the moment i have 6x Corys 1x Molly 1x Guppy and 10x Cardinal tetras. How often should i feed them with one of these 'cubes' and should i just feed them flakes on the other days??? Ollie

I have the rio 180, dimensions=101 x 41 x 50cm. With these dimensions can i keep 4-5 with 10x cardinal tetras?? Ollie

I have just ten cardinal tetras. I was told these are fine.... I really appreciate all this advice but without being rude i would like to get a final answer. Lets say i keep 4-5 discus in my 180l tank with my ten cardinal tetras, is this enough space???

First of all, i know my test kit is not faulty becuse i only just bought a new one... Secondly, if i am just keeping discus in the tank with a few tetras (not angels or any other fish) surely the tank is big enough?? Ollie

Well in my 120l tank which has been running for 3 years. My nitrate has always been 0, so i beg to differ... Ollie

If you were talking to me then i can assure you that it is... Just finished the 4th month... Ollie

This is all great news... Does anyone know the best place to buy Discus over the internet (to your door)... I would prefer tank bred discus... Ollie

Sorry Guys, i am confused because i am not sure if you guys are talking to me or to KimA. I have a 180L tank with just 10xCardinal tetra. Surely i can keep 4-5 discus in that. I will not add any other fish after the discus... Ollie

Reverse Osmosis. Kind a like pure water?? Anyways, how many should i keep in a 180l tank... ollie
