Just starting the battle with bba, so when that's gone maybe. I don't mind some algae but bba is a pita
 
hi, apologies to jump on your post. Iā€™m new to to the hobby. I also live in Leeds. Where would you reccomend going to purchase tropical fish? Thank you in advance
Hi I'm over in pudsey so go to pet city on tong St, another good one is qss Wakefield Rd Bradford. If wanting something a bit more specialised then tingley aquatics not been in ages to tingley so may be shut. MA in Carr bottom garden centre, just off m1 Wakefield turning. Think it's call paws for thought on York Rd, used to be a pub

Yes Iā€™m aware of all these places. Iā€™m still really struggling with what to stock in my tank. New to the hobby and in my mind I thought Iā€™d be able to get quite a few colourful fish however with our water here in leeds seems Iā€™m stuck with getting tetraā€™s, neons, rasboras and maybe a pair of apistogrammaā€™s. I love the green neons but looks like it many people have them ? honestly at the rate I might just end up with an empty tank as Iā€™ve spent hours and hours and still canā€™t make my mind up ?
 
get a list of what you want, then go out to 1 shop and 1 shop only (so they may not have all your list)

agree to buy 1 or 6(if shoaling fish) of 1 type and that then will get you going.

i bought 8 serpae tetra, so that was going to be my main fish group. have added julii cory and some ottos. got some neon's in there as they were bagged with the next lot of serpae, now 15 of them

Don't forget this tank is only 25 litres/6.5 gallons ;)
 
Your fish won't mind the messy look at all- plenty of cover. In the end, the best fish tank is not about aesthetics but what's best for the inhabitants.
What...? Just like the childrenā€™s bedrooms...my house my rules ??
