My 215 litre tank, now set up again after selling VERY large gourami and oscar, has been running with existing filters and semi-cleaned gravel, for about 2 weeks. I have put 8 rummy nose tetras in to see how they manage. All levels when tested were nil. Hoping to transfer 3 4inch discus in soon...

Tank is the same litres as the previous, but rectagonal as opposed to octagonal, 24x18x12. Seem ok to explore when we are not around, or hiding from them. Feeding brine shrimp and bloodworm. Will try amazon swords. Cheers for the advice.

I have just transferred my 5 small discus into a new tank, with two established filters, one, the bright orange one, has retained it's colouring but the other arctic blues have taken on a very dark hue, and seem to be hiding a lot. any thoughts, as they were all fine in the previous tank. Water...

Gourami, oscar currently in a 210 litre aqua tank, doing VERY well, with a synodontis cat to clear up. Octagonal tank with 5 discus and 10 cardinal tetras awaiting a move to a bigger tank, currently cycling. Lobster, two years old, ON HIS OWN, due to one or two barb deaths. Bio-tube(I know) with...

A few more pics now that I know how to do it!!!! Nice to get positive responses, they take up a lot of my wife's and my time!!

A foto of my oscar, and if I can manage it, my lobster!

Is a bare bottom How small are they? If they are babies, about 2", then the tank is just enough, but they will eventually need to be moved to a larger tank. I'm assuming you are trying to grow them out, so you can make it a BB (bare bottom) tank, but the thin layered substrate will also work...

I am about to move 5 smallish discus and feel that I need a better filter. The tank is about 24x15x12 and I am only going to put a fine layer of gravel on the bottom. What can anyone suggest would be suitable? Do they need much water movement or do they prefer stiller waters? They are very...

Can we put a weather loach into a warm tank? about 80c. Trying to empty a couple of tanks. No luck on GIVING AWAY the oscar yet? Any takers? Tricky.

Thanks for advice, but for now, could I put the angel in with a small discus and 11 small tetras. Cheers.
