Re: How many false/green neon tetras in 30 litre/5 gallon ta Thanks, well according to the website, in a 30 litre tank with 10x + turnover rate I can have 1 betta splendens and some shrimp! seems a bit over the top to me but I think that 7 false neons would definitely be fine considering I do...

Hello I have a 30-30-30cm tank with one siamese fighter, 2 otos, 2 corys and shrimp. I had rummy nose but i heard they weren't good for a nano tank. So how many false/green neon tetras could I put in my tank I was thinking 7-9? thanks gregalon (I used the surface area rule, so 30cm of fish).

Re: How to clean the tubes for glassware? &take glasswareoff Thanks for all the tips!

Re: Ideas for easy maintenance and nice nano tank,suggestion I'm interested as to why they remove the fish from the hardscape tanks afterwards? Would they not thrive in a non planted environment? thanks gregalon

Hello, there is probably going to be a very obvious answer to my questions but I am new to this aquascaping and I was wondering how to clean the tubes from the external filter to the tank because it's sitting on the kitchen surface and my mum keeps complaining about it being unsightly :crazy...

Re: Ideas for easy maintenance and nice nano tank,suggestion Hi guys, thanks for the replies. For the otos and beta I did hours of online research and when I went to my local lfs and they didn't have false neon tetras, I'm quite impatient and I asked the shop keeper if they would be ok in my...

Hello, I have a 30-30-30cm nano tank (aquael shrimp set) with an eheim 2211 filter, glassware, heater, 18watt superfish light and an eheim automatic feeder. It has planted substrate (caribsea) and currently has bogwood, anubias, dwarf hairgrass and cryptocryne. (I WILL TRY TO POST PHOTOS...

Hi I'm very tempted but because I'm away often and my parents will be caring for it I doubt they would be willing to waste more space for worms :) I will think about just adding one cichlid but most likely not due to all your informative comments (I could get a larger tank! anyway I'll have to...

Hello I am looking to find a chemical to soften my water. Which one should I get? I live in London so my water is quite hard and I don't want to use RO for two reasons, expensive and waste of water (takes 10 litres of normal to make 1 litre of RO). WHich products to you recommend? thanks greg.

its a 30 litre nano cube, what I have. Are there any other strange fish that I could keep in a 30 litre?

Re: Andyh's 190l Lounge tank (update with video) Hi sorry its a 30-30-30cm cube so roughly 30 litres and I was wondering if I could get one cichlid and a few dither fish. (or would you recommend 2 or none). thanks

Just checked on the dario dario and they are truly stunning! something like them would be absoluetly brilliant (i.e you don't need a big shoal and they would be happy in smaller aquaria. Unfortunately I have read that they are quite difficult to feed flakes and the like to so I would like...

Hi thanks I just wanted to check, so not even 1 because there are some videos with people keeping 1 blue ram and another one which has to apistos cacotoudes pair. BTW the bowl video was submitted by the guy in the 2010 nano tank contest. AND I like sparkling gouramis but I'd like...

Re: Seven years of 'scaping - updated May '10 I think shelldweller sanctuary is really special. I love it. Are those cichlids hard to care for?
