Hi I had 1 female cokatoo apisto in with 2 rams, catfish corys and 2 angelfish, everythings been fine for a few months, but noticed the female wasnt eating, maybe the lips were a bit swollen, but was still a bit active   Ive moved her into a small tank with one other female and a few corys, she...

I'm selling a nice floating plant, grows easily and extremely easy to maintain!  here's my link.   http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/413455-salvinia-natans-floating-plants/   also, for ideas, I find java fern and vallis the easiest plant by far!  (my water is quite neutral and have low...

Hi,    I'm looking to sell the below plant, I have this in all 3 of my tanks and it provides lovely shade - hopefully others can enjoy it too.  I don't actually know how much it will cost to post, but this should cover it.   Plants: Salvinia Natans (Floating Plants) Quantity for sale:    1...

thanks, so the swim bladder can fix itself? I'll keep a close eye on him/her!

Hi, I bought 8 cories 3 weeks ago, they're now in a 3 ft tank with 2 angelfish and couple of littleuns, they are all fine, except one has a bit of a smaller tail. I then bought another 10, 10 days ago, which are in a 2 foot quarantine tank with 1 apisto. However, today 1 one was dead, I...

Hi, I have a 240 litre tank with eheim pro II external. I took the juwel internal filter out because it was quite bulky. and now im thinking of adding a new internal filter at one end with an outlet low down. The reason, is because ive struggled to get ove BGA, and after finally getting rid...

great thanks, I wasn't sure if it might have treatment or be a type of wood that when eaten by catfish may be harmfu. It doesnt look to me like there is any coating. Ill try it out, before I move all the fish over. Ill let you know how may tank/fish plan goes over the next 10days!

Hi, I've now got 2 bristlenoses (2inch), 6 cory's, 6 cardinals and 2 rams in the 2ft tank. Ill get some photos of the bristlenoses when they come out! Ive also added black sand to my 3ft tank, so that is ready for some of the fish and plants (xmas weekend). however, the 3ft is empty at the...

does anyone have this on the NPI nitrate? I find the red hard hard to judge from 40-100ppm

guys, I tried your bottle method last weekend...I think I've found an improvement! I had already done a brief rinse, before I saw this thread so it was already wet. I was going to put it in a bottle, but most I had would probably crumple...then I saw a 2 litre milk bottle, but though the sand...

Hi, Thanks for the advice I've decided to get one 075 and 3/4 King Tiger's, maybe 2 in each tank (and maybe 1 ancistrus in the 4ft). Unfortunately the 2ft tank isn't cycled as much as I had hoped, so im monitoring that at the moment and will probably set my catfish buying back 2 weeks...

Oh also, I need to think about buying something for them to hide in. I have a couple of slate caves for my apistos and they love it! Where/what caves do you usually buy? I've found these so far http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160925959628?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649...

thanks, i've posted a 'wanted page' I've also managed to get in touch with someone who was selling King Tiger Plecs a few months back, he has said he has still got some babies available for £8 each @1" or adult/juve for £25 each. I know you said GN 1inch fish is risky, are other...

thanks, I think I'll probably get a couple of bristlenose too, I had them years ago and know how good they are at keeping algae in check. What's the easiest way to find local breeders (surrey). I've searched on here, www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk but havent found any easily...or most posts...

Thanks, the Tiger plecos were about 2.5/3 inches in the shop. But I think I prefer the chocolate zebras. Is £25 for a chocolate zebra ok? and have you ever bought from Kesgrave aquatics? Do Chocolate Zebras eat a bit of algae? sorry for all the questions!
