is the picture the amount I will be getting for £6?

remove the adults (aka the breeders) and squish/remove any and all babies you see. So long as you don't get any adults, it may take a while, but you'll get rid of them eventually. Other than that it's take everything that you can out of the tank, and have a good look. Turkey baste or squish any...

I'm going to swap out the java on the wood for weeping moss or fissidens when I can get some. I may get another "tree" for the other side, because I wanted something to hide the filter, alhough I need to remember, this is only a mini 12 litre tank, so the footprint is tiny (20 x 25cm floor)...

do you have any resin/plastic ornaments in the tank? I bought a "resin" tree planted with something on top. I put it in the tank, and within hours the the shrimp were literally hurling themselves out of the tank. All dead apart from 9 cherries. Disposed of the evil planted tree and did a 100%...

Hi guys My shrimp finally have a new scape!! Now I'm not so terrified about them dying (a nasty purchase from PatH poisoned my tank and wiped out the majority of my shrimp) I decided to go buy stuff for the tank. In there now is brown/black sand, a piece of mopani root (not presoaked as I'm...

While I was reading the first few bits I thought "GENIUS!! You've just solved my dilemma of a christmas present for my nephew!" so I was thinking of lego starwars, and there you go linking Faildeadlys (which I'm about to read :D) Thanks for the insiration! I love natural tanks, but I ADORE...

I've looked into this myself as I'm planning a move to Holland, and that will be a 12ish hour drive. The way I see it though, is that if online order companies can send fish out next day delivery, then it must be possible. From what I've read, you need to bag up the fish and use an oxygenating...

well 2 seperate threads is ridiculous! How is anyone supposed to keep track?!

from personal exerience I wouldn't house dwarf gouramis and guppies together. My male DG was VERY territorial, and I looked into the tank one day to see him actually tear one of my guppies tails from end to base. I thought it was the tetras fin nipping that had ruined the guppies tails, but...
