Well seems we're not too good at keeping our plants healthy (being as this is our first tank) so we're going to replace them and clean the tank out, unfortunately we just lost our male Gourami to dropsy -which I hear can be caused by dirty/poor water, nothing would make him better as much as we...

My wallet contains nout but dust...which is ok for the family fish because...well I don't pay for them..just help...but if I'm to get my own tank and fish, naturally that's a bit of an obstacle
