:crazy: Would it be safe to do a water change with the new fry being so young? Also do I need to feed the fry or will they be able to survive for a while on what is in the tank at the moment, things like algae and whatever is on the substrate? Thanks Tokalosh

:hyper: My Kribs have finally done it! This morning I was presented with about 50 or so babies, and two very very proud parents. Are there any precautions I should be taking for the well being of the baby’s or should I just let them get on with it? There is nothing in the 180 l very well...

Question: Do you get Gay fish? :sly: The reason I ask this is that my female Krib is doing her utmost to seduce the male. She is in full breeding colors and if she tried any harder her red belly would explode and her tail would shake right off. She has selected a cave and is so ready to do...

Thanks everyone for all the help. One the weekend I used the temp and salt treatment with success. I’m also in the process of setting up a 200l tank for the clown loaches and Rams. This should alleviate some of the stress in the tank especially with the Kribs trying to make whoopee. I’ve...

:crazy: I seem to be getting very disheartened about this recurring Ick in my tank. To a point I want to pack it in as it is stressing me and my fish out. I don’t know what is causing it to recure all the time and there has not been a month that has gone by with out it. I’ve tried all the...

This is what I bought today to go on my new 4ft 200l tank. The Fluval FX5 !! http://www.hagen.com/uk/aquatic/product.cf...=01002180030101 What you think? Tokalosh :D

Could some one please tell me why my Eheim 2229 is pushing water out of the breather pipe when it starts to empty. Not a continues flow of water just a spurt, should water be coming out of this pipe at all? I've check that the piping is on correctly and nothing is obstructing the inlet & outlet...

Thanks everyone for the advice. Over the last few days I've been doing a 30% water change and this seems to be working. Although the fish are still not as they should be i.e not eating and still breathing a little fast. The main thing is that the nitrite levels are droping. I was told by my LFS...

Could someone please tell me if having air bubbles in your tank will reduce the CO2 content in the tank? I have an Eheim 2229 wet/dry filter and CO2, I would like my plants to grow but I do not know if they will grow faster with or with out the air bubbles. The other thing I would like to know...

Thanks for the feedback, I know Clown's get a little large and they will be getting a new tank when the time comes. As for the pleco, I do not get that attached to as I swap him for a smaller one when he gets to BIG. But it looks like I'll be taking SandMan8388 advice on the pleco. What do you...

Hi All Thought I'd show you all my modified TropiQuarium 88. The tank has been running for 4 months now and is looking good. I did away with the Biofilter that came with the tank and put an Eheim 2229 on it instead. To do this I had to do a bit of plumbing modifications as you can see from the...
