    Advice On A 54L Tank

    Hi,   I'm new to aquariums and keeping fish and was wondering what tropical fish I can get for a 54L tank? I want about 6 or even more, and it'd be nice if they were quite hardy and pretty.   Also, can I use aquarium sand instead of gravel or is that bad for some fish? Cleaning won't be a...

    Honey Gourami, Khuli Loach, Neon Tetra?

    Hello,   So I posted a few weeks back asking for advice to stock a new tank. I have now purchased a new tank and it is the 100 litre Aqua One UFO-550 corner tank.   I've put this into aqadvisor (as best I can because it doesn't really accommodate for corner tanks) and this seems to fit. Just...

    Does This Tank Exist?

    Hi all,   My partner and I want to set up an aquarium on an unused stretch of kitchen counter.  The space is 1 metre long by 60cm deep, but there's a cupboard 45cm above it, so once we factor in a hood and light we're going to struggle to get in a tank much taller than 30cm.  We want the biggest...

    Harlequin Rasbora Dying One By One

    I just bought 5 harlequin rasbora for my new aquarium 3 days ago at petco. They seemed happy and were very active, and ate well. Two died today. The first to die had two tiny white specs on his fins, so I thought it might be ick and immediately started introducing a low concentration of aquarium...
