I used this in the past, I found that it was very murky at the start but never really settled properly, probably due to my filter. I just did a couple of 50% water changes over the next couple of days which sorted it out. When adding the water back in you need to make sure it doesn't stir up...

oh yea, 3gal has a heater

Hey, I'd really appreciate the instructions if you don't mind. Thanks

ok the betta was looking quite stressed out when I went to clean out the tank at about 1pm. I noticed he had just killed another Guppy! He was just lying on the gravel and when another guppy swam past, he chased it. I intercepted to stop him attacking, I held him in a keep net and got the...

#92### this place has no sense of humour! :rolleyes: naw, the plastic plants are fine, he lived with most of them for over a year until I got the real ones. I wouldn't agree that everyone on here says not to mix bettas and guppys, there are actually a lot of conflicting advice goes on about...

I have a 3gal which I use for quarantine, I'll give it a clean out I think and stick him in there. He'll have to make do with fake plants for a while though. Don't have a light for it either so he'll have to do with daylight until I get something sorted. ah well it's his own fault for making...

Yea the tank is now back to prime condition, Ammonia is 0, Nitites are 0 and Nitrates are 10 and it's been steady at that all week (tested every day since water change using Tetra liquid test kit). I had done a near 100% water change last Friday so 20% change due today but as far as stats are...

Don't like the idea of a divider though, it makes the tank look bad IMO so will get another tank methinks. So what you're saying is that it's very possible the neon will lay eggs, but they prob won't develop unless kept in a dark place?

I've had the betta for over a year, a nice blood red one with a hint of blue/purple sheen, he's been my favourite fish up until this week. Until now he was living happily with a few guppys, neons etc. I felt the tank was a little under stocked (70l tank) ,after a little negligence on my part...

Hi, thanks for posting, I know the small plants because they actually came with a label, the other small plant is Hydrocotyle verticillata. Not sure why the others didn't come with a label but it's only something I noticed when I got home.

I had something similar to this when I started a year ago. I did 25% water changes daily for a month or so. After the first water change you will notice that the levels do drop a little but don't return to 0 completely. Over the next 3 or 4 days the stats will take care of themselves as long...

Didn't see the planted section of the forums, can a moderator please move this to the planted forums? thanks

I've seen lights very similar to that in Pets at Home. Dunno if they will fit your model though

I've had my tank running successfully for the last year and decided to change it a bit. I've just changed the layout of my 3ft tank and bought a range of new plants, however there were only tags on two of them to identify them. I've looked at a few websites in an attempt to identify them but...

do you have a new or established tank, how long have you had the fighter, what are your water parameters. I had a fighter that had a similar thing. It was down to bad water parameters as the tanked hadn't cycled and stress. He managed to survive and all his fins and tail have grown back and...
