What do you think ?

All done. Rescued a beautiful betta. Everything is planted and set up. I will post pictures when the light arrives. I say 'rescued' because the local fish shop keep their fish in appalling conditions. Same all over Thailand really. The Bettas were kept in little more than jam jars. My water was...

Also, do you think this lamp will be fine for a 2.5 nano...

I just found some outdoor stalls selling various plants for 15 baht each. I bought a few. They are big enough to be separated. Some are stem plants. I think I recognise one of the plants as amazon sword. I could do with finding some foreground grasses.

Thank you for the advice

Hi friends. It has been a while since my last post. I am currently teaching English in Thailand. My aquascape in England is going well thanks to your advice. It is currently being taken of by my mum Someone gave me a very small 2 gallon tank as they found out I like fish and plants. I just...

Hi. Sorry to resurrect an old thread but do you know any aquascaping stores near Khon Kaen, Thailand? Thankyou

Interesting points. I currently have 10 zebra danios and 4 amanos. They all look happy enough. It’s interesting watching their behaviour

Hi. I am using tropica aquarium soil and my aquarium is a new set up (just over a week old). Do I still need to dose or does the aquarium soil have it covered? Thank you

I’ve kind of put things in random hoping for a natural look. Do you think the plants should be grouped up more? When I put Amanos in I think they only time I will see them is on the way home from the fish store

An update after adding more plants -

Thanks guys. I will check my water hardness and get back to you

This is good to hear. How do you keep things stable. Weekly water changes?

hi. My aquarium has a ph level of 7.6. I originally wanted Pygmy Corys and Amanos but i did a bit of research and realised my ph is too high. Do you generally avoid species that aren’t suitable for your ph levels or do you lower the ph somehow? I’m aiming to keep things as simple as possible...

Thanks for the advice. I have a time so I shall put the lights on for six hours a day for now. I was thinking 3 hours in the morning (timed to help wake me up) and 3 in the evening? Is that ok or is a straight 6 hours better? Cheers

I’m sorry I can’t remember where I read it. It was a few days ago now. Could have even been YouTube

Also, I’m liking the look of the otos, but I read that amanos tend to be fragile and die after water changes. Can you advise on this? If I have 8 zebra dorios, 5 Pygmy corys, 5 otos is that overstocked do you reckon?

Righto. Lesson learned

I’m a bit worried about over stocking. I’m currently waiting for the tank to be more established for the less hardy species. I currently have 5 zebra danios in my 80cm long shallow tank. 60 litres in total. What other fish do you reckon I could get away with? As suggested I’m adding another...

Haha yes I noticed that and tidied it up . I think the two tone was caused by a shadow. I have more plants on the way to try and cover up a few eye sores. I’ve also put more water in and cleaned the glass. Going to put a few Pygmy corys in the tank in a few weeks

Sure ok. I’ll order some more. I was going to have some floating plants and mosses. Happy to receive recommendations on types of plants you think would suit this environment

Hi. Here is my first aquascape. Any recommendations on plant positioning welcome. The glass needs a bit of a clean and a general tidy up needed.

That’s cool . Thanks for the information. My tank has no fish at present because it is new. I was going to put a few guppies in once cycled so that it was ‘lived in’ before introducing the black tetras. I imagine they will be out competed big time. I bet ember tetras and black tetras look...

Ah great little fish. My tank is topless. Perhaps some floating plants will prevent them jumping out

Cheers I need a heater. Do people generally use under gravel heaters so they are hidden?

Is it mainly limited to small tetras for this size tank do you reckon? I do like the look of those black neons. Are they easy to come buy in th uk?

Yip that’s the fish. Ok I will stick to a smaller fish. This is my tank size - Dimensions (LxWxH): 80 x 24.5 x 30cm Perhaps stick to guppies

hi. I’ve just visited my local aquatics centre and I really like the look of round red eye tetras. Is a 60l tank big enough to stock 6 of these with other fish and shrimp? Cheers

Hi

Thanks for the information

Hi. It’s interesting that you live in Thailand. I am trying to decide whether to live in Thailand and I was wondering what the aquascaping was like over there

Do you think this filter will be ok? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01N4BC1R5/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1546610453&sr=8-4&keywords=external+filter+aquarium&dpPl=1&dpID=510%2Bbpl0wEL&ref=plSrch I am going for a low tech setup. My tank is 60 litres. It is short but long (80cm). I plan on...

I’ll definitely go check that out when it opens! Thanks for letting me know. I’ve been watching his videos. Cool job

Great. Will definitely take pictures. Thank you

Ok sure I will give it a read. I am happy to start small. Hardy plants and fish. Start with guppies I think.

I’m really not sure. I’m a pure beginner so I am unsure if the plants/setup I eventually go for will need CO2. I’m happy to receive recommendations. I’m currently working my way through the ‘sunken gardens ‘ book I recently bought. Do high tech setups cost a fortune on electricity?

Hi. I was thinking java moss. I'm not too Clued up on plants at the moment. I've been looking at YouTube videos to get an idea. Maybe Amazon sword in one of the back corners but it might be a bit big for my tank height. I know I'd like a little carpet grass area and some floating plants with...

Hi there

Thanks for the info guys. I’m looking forward to putting things together. I will be keeping it in my bedroom so I could do with a very quiet filter. I don’t mind the sound of trickling water but not too keen on loud humming. Is external filtering best?

Thank you for the detailed reply. My tank is 80cm. I took a punt and went for the same light as you. I would like driftwood and rocks. Now I need to decide what to plant and what substrate to use. A natural look would be nice. I’d like moss on the driftwood. No bright red substrate. Some...

Sure ok. No problem

Thank you for the info. It is good to know that fish are healthy ordered online. Now I need to decide what I want the aquascape to look like. This is my tank -...

Hi. I have a new tank waiting to be filled and I'm new to the hobby. I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a good centre for good quality plants and fish in the great yarmouth/Norwich area. I'm thinking of stocking the 60 litre tank with guppies and swordtails as well as a few shrimp. All...
