Hi I have a planted aquarium with shrimp, 10 chilli rasbora and 6 cardinal tetra. Two of the tetra have a white parasite / spot on each eye. Please help me ID and if possible best remedy. Obviously I know what white spot is and usually this would affect all fish and be all their bodies. This is...

Hi can anyone please advise if it’s ok to trim the roots on my Anubias plants. Some of them now reach the bottom.

Hi is there a quick way on here to get inspiration for ideas from photos? is there a gallery anywhere? I’m thinking about a re scape with my 20 litre nano cube.

Yes, they do wave about! Many thanks.

Hi see in other discussions this has been spoken about, some of my shrimp have these white things on their nose. I also have 9 mosquito rasbora in the tank so can somebody tell me specifically what to buy to treat please. Many thanks

Hi please help. Is it ok to trim back cryptocoryne and if so how? do I trim off the outer leaves from the bottom. I want to take out some of the wendtii green from the RHS

Just your average cherry shrimp. nothing expensive. I feed them nanovit tablets. Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are all very low all the time basically. PH is around 7.6 most of the time.

Hi can anybody please suggest why my shrimp are dying. I’m finding a couple almost on a daily basis. Small nano cube tank 20 litres. Regular weekly water changes about 75% although even before a change all water parameters are acceptable. I have 11 chilli rasbora in the tank that are healthy and...

I don’t use dechrorinator. Which you’ll probably tell me off for😬 and I put in 0.6ml of tropica after the change. im gunna test again tomorrow and if it’s still high just do another water change.

So I wanted to get an idea of what ammonia is in my aquarium. 20 litre nano cube. I took a reading before a water change that I did today. It was 0.1 mg/l which I expected since I added some fish this week. Top end of the scale according to the JBL test kit. Then I took a reading after a 50% or...

Very good service they sent me 2 sets for free!

Dennerle sending me some new ones. See email

After doing my weekly water change this week the sucker cups on the filter won’t stick to the glass (20 litre nano cube with dennerle eckfilter) the filter is only 3 months old. I’ve cleaned the glass, cleaned the suckers, tried to attach when dry, when wet, when under water, I think I’ve tried...

Ok so maybe a few tetra of some kind? I know one other comment was to not have any fish at all which I kind of agree with. I’m scared of keeping up with keeping the water clean from poop, pee and uneaten fish food. Kids and wife desperate for some kind of fish though. Might try 3 or 5 cardinals...

Hi there I have a 20 litre planted dennerle nano cube home to about 20 shrimp. I’m looking for a fish that can be kept solitary. I considered beta Splenda but they can even go after shrimp. Any ideas? I’m looking for something that stands out.
