Thanks for your advice guys. I hadn't thought of upping the numbers of current fish but I like the idea of upping especially the rummys. They all seem to be thriving so I guess the water suits them, my ph is 8.0. I'll up the numbers and keep an eye out for ideas. If I did up the numbers as...

So I've got 6 albino cories, 6 rummy nosed tetras, 6 harliquinn rasboras, 6 zebra danios and a clown plec in my 180 litre tank. Do I have room to add a feature fish or two? If so, what would you advise? Thanks for any suggestions!

Wow Shiny, you're kept busy! Yeah I know what you're saying. Even for the ones with a shorter lifespan, they deserve to be looked after. Poor little things didn't ask to be put in a tank in my living room, looking out at my mug day in/day out.   Yes I've rekindled the flame folks. As for pics...

Thanks so much for your replies guys, much appreciated! Well you all inspired me, particularly you, ShinySideUp, when you said how they rely on me etc. Crikey I'm awful! I put on some good sounds and rolled up the old sleeves and gave it a good clean out today and I actually enjoyed it! I forgot...

It didn't sound negative LyraGuppi, it sounds sensible.  I'm sitting here looking at it now and I can't quite bring myself to give it up. I love watching the fish but I've been avoiding watching them much because I feel guilty, because I'm lazy lately when it comes to cleaning it. I know I can...

I figure that the fact that I'm posting this is a positive sign. I haven't been on here in a long time because I have simply lost interest. I've seriously thought about selling my tank. I have gone from doing weekly water changes to every 3-4 weeks, sometimes longer I'm embarrassed to say...

Thanks Ruskull!   Hammie I am so unbelievably jealous!!! That would be a perfect vacation in my eyes. WOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one Baccus. The fish net is the one I'm going for. Can't wait to get  stuck in!

I've a little rescue dog called Mac. He's a terrier mix. He's so handsome and clever and I love him madly. I still don't know how to post pics after all this time!

Hey Lovelies!   Great to see you're still going strong. I haven't been on in so long. Hope all well with all of you!

OMG the sieve is an excellent idea Fluttermoth! Why did I not think of that? I won't be emptying my tank so I think I'll give it a go with a tea strainer. I don't mind a few mts but I have so many of them at this stage and they just LOVE my poor vallis. 

Ah bless. Poor thing. 

bathroom and out I came, still very much alive and determined to get revenge!!!

I landed with a thud and realised it certainly wasn't bottomless, nor was it just any old pit. In fact it was

Hey Lovelies!   Finally moved the tank like I've been planning for ages. All seems to be well since my recent losses. I'll be thinking aboot restocking soon. I'll start by upping the cories. Need to get them up to healthy numbers.   I'm bored tonight Lovelies. Waiting for the last two episodes...

  Awful when that happens. Poor thing.

pulled out his purse and ambled over.

Wassup Moffie?

Oh those little feet!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's got his back end to the camera. Good one though! Didn't think of the eyes.   I've tried posting pics so many times. I think I managed it a couple of times but I gave up after that.

Can't beat that smell. Enjoy every second of her. Little cutie!

'tall tree' to munch on while he sulked. 

She's amazing, I want to smell the back of her neck! Memories.....  

He's there. He's just really white......

I initially put 2 mts in my tank, I now way too many. My problem with them is they eat my Vallis. I used to have loads of lush healthy stuff but now it's sparse. I hold on to them because they apparently keep the sand healthy.

and mermaids....

and unfortunately thought TallTree was a mermaid and headed straight in her direction. But as he closed in, there was a sound of a big crash. Everyone stopped in their tracks in shock.....  

TallTree emerged from the shower and ran for cover as the elephant had a bad reaction to the peanuts. While all of this was going on, nobody noticed a shadowy figure emerging from the bushes. Lo and behold, it was......  

Hey Lovelies!   Had to read a few pages to catch up. Bin busy round here. My youngest started school on Monday. Little uniform on him was the cutest thing I think I'll ever see!!   I turned, dare I say it, the big 40 on Fri. Of course I dragged it out to a weeklong celebration. Great times were...

everyone decided to hell with it all and they danced and partied the night away! But the next morning they awoke to an awful sight.........

Thanks Crash, thanks everyone!

Hey Lovelies,   All quiet here. No fish deaths in a few weeks . The kids are in summer camp so all is quiet and chilled. Catching up on boring housework, meeting friends for coffee and a chat. It's all good!

He peed himself. This angered the Kiwi, so he picked up the offending coconut and hurled it at the laughing Aussie so hard that it.....

Hi guys, so sorry I'm only getting back to this now! Thanks so much for all of your replies. I'll be moving it sometime next week. It's a Rio 180 litre with cories, a betta, rasboras, a platy and a clown plec. My stocking isn't great but I've had problems with fish dying. All seems well again...

I need to move my tank to another room. Do I drain as much of the water as I can while leaving the fish in, bag the media, move tank, then refill very slowly? Is it that simple?   I know there are other threads around here about this but I'm having trouble when I click on search.   Thanks for...

Happy anniversary Hambone!   Hey Lovelies!!!!

Niiiice Hammy, You gots me chillin' too yo........   In fact, I'm so chilled I'm goin to bed now. Night Lovelies!

There was one a few mins from my house. I went up yesterday to get some filter floss and a carbon sponge to find he's closed up. Emigrated to Canada. So many places closing up around here.   No deaths in almost a week Lovelies. Fingers crossed.  

Wow. I'd say they're the cutest things? Can you get pics up? 

I assume so too, to both of your posts. I run a fork through the sand at water changes (one I keep specifically for the task) though admittedly I don't cover it all. I must be doing something wrong.
