Hello and welcome :)

The fact you are marine knowledge trumps alot of what freshwater keeping can be. Its being on top of things and resetting etc. Then the solution to that is, see if the fish shop you are purchasing from are happy to take back some fish for credit note if that becomes the problem. With me its...

They do. I mean my 350 is 60+ cm height inclusive of substrate and about 120cm length ways. I do get some aggression when they pair up, but they lay and the eggs get eaten as the tank isnt suitable for a breeding set up. I chose it this way and filled in with rainbow emperors so when the angels...

Have you thought of alternative? Perhaps rainbowfish? Gourami? They are quite large in size and statement fish also. Just fish(sic) for thought :)

I have kept angels and discus in the past in various tank sizes. Knowing full well the size they can grow up to and understanding that they feel more at home when its a group. However I have also kept a solo large discus in a 90l tank with community fish and had no problems. Ventured to a 180l...

Yes correct. I think I just copied the name and posted :) The genus is correct.

I have many on my rocks in my 15 year old tank. Noticed some spots under my sand substrate too. Researching more it is called Hildenbrandia Rubra.

What else do you plan to stock in the tank going forward?

That can be true. Which is why when it does send out new rooters. you nip them and give them some space in between. All I tend to do is follow the stem and snap it off by hand. So easy that way rather than sniping. But then again my tank is quite deep so I would only do that during a large water...

I have had both balansae, retro and also tiger variation in the past(20 years ago) Currently I had about 3 pots worth of balansae in my 350l which came from 1 pot in the kids tank. Its grown to over 30+cm long and lots of baby runners every few months which I just trim off the larger old leaves...

Could be retrospriralis as it doesnt look crinkly like balansae?

I always enjoy seeing the tank in the flesh. Im glad you have kept it running all these years and may it long continue :)

I had a bunch of clown loaches for around 8 years. The last year one of them become similar and died within a few weeks last year. And naturally the other loaches will nip and eat it up. So perhaps best to pop into another tank in dose medication. Good luck with them :)

Hello and welcome :)

Ive had no problems with them in the various tanks I have kept mine in :)

This is the photo of the woods as I was leaving. They also had lots of rocks and large pebbles available to buy too.

I went to visit Wildwoods in Enfield for the first time in over 10 years and they had some good selection of woods and rocks compared to the maidenhead in crews hill.

Likely to be a female because the black spot isnt solid. Also look out for some light red colouring on the belly area over time. :)

Maidenhead Morden is a good bet. Else ADC in Balham area.

Brilliant. Looks so cool. I wonder if you had a large enough tank can keep a few of these conches :)

That is amazing. Thanks for showing that. So exciting to see updates like that. How big is it? How much was it ? What does it feed on etc?

These Theodoxus Fluviatilis dont seem to reproduce in my tank :D

Hello and welcome :)

Was a great idea when you mentioned it to me and I did say that brine shrimp dont live that long too. But I imagined that it would keep on breeding etc I think best bet is to collect water from a river or pond and then have it enclosed and that might fare better in the long run?

My question is does this tank need shutting down even if its been standing for 2 weeks. Im assuming that the filter was still running etc? You could leave this as a simple tank that will house some plants etc? If its getting in the way and you are packing it all up then you can reuse the mesh...

Very cool !!!!! ty!

Chanting - VIDEO VIDEOOOO :D

Hello and welcome. I went 10 years ago to the aquatic expo in sg and was invited to visit some suppliers which was fantastic. I miss the food too ! :D

Welcome and hello. Living waters in Beddington Lane still remains one of my favourite fish shops. :)

Ah shame. Im in Finchley. We are planning to restart some London meets next month. Keep an eye out. I think likely to be south london .

Hello and welcome. Where in London are you based? :)

Its good that you are not that far away in windsor. If the day I decide to try out salty will give you a shout. Plus the years its gonna take me to get my act together you would have branched solely into salt tanks galore :D :D :D

This is alien language to me :) But keep up with the updates!! :) :)

Sometimes can be bad luck. I have a 350l tank and have 6 amano and never had a death. They would only come out at night time. I would say it could be the bristlenoses which can be boisterous sometimes especially if the amano are unlucky and encroach in spaces/feeding time. How mature are the...

Hello and welcome :)

Agreed. Looks great!!

I think thats usually a balance of too much food at one point and the population bursting and constant laying eggs everywhere, then you notice a tonne of small snails. For me its usually because my loaches get to them. But if there is no loach I reckon the culprit is the change of water...

Can even use the 70l tank as a semi high tech tank by dosing more often in there and better lighting. Til you understand the relationship of light duration etc. Over time you can just use the 70l as a nursery to plant into the big tank. Thats what I do with my other small tanks at home :)

Keeping fish and scaping fish tanks etc takes time. If you follow content creators we see amazing tanks being made, but what you dont see is the work behind the scenes and sometimes casualties that may occur. Be patient, let the tank settle and continue monitoring and do water changes as and...

Sometimes many water changes does give an imbalance to the water and upset the fish which in term causes them stress etc. I think my take on this is to actually let the tank settle and let nature take its course. If you feel that certain fish are not surviving then yes can take it back to the...

I also tried them and whilst they are great for controlling snails, they bickered alot due to pairing. This was over 20 years ago now. Prices have gone up alot for them and I often see them in Maidenhead aquatics. Fun if you keep them in a puffer only tank. Blood/blackworms are their...

So the plan is to go to ADC? Can we plan for a crews hill run? MA enfield and wildwoods one sunday too pls? :) I dont mind hosting in my place in East Finchley too :)

I think it looks nice and once planted and aged with algae on the rocks will be great. What plants are you planning to put in there? For myself I would love to look for some really intricate pieces of fine twisted mini branches to create something additional so the eye is drawn everywhere...

Brilliant scape and enjoying the updates. keep it up!

I love sexy shrimp. I think my plan was to get a 60l tank with some frags and snails/sexy shrimp. One day. Thank you again for updating and giving me insight of how "easy" it is to top up the water and upkeep :)
