I have 2 adolfo and 2 sterbai corys which have been in my tank for about 6 months, it's well established and all parameters are fine. Last night i fed the tank frozen bloodworm. Today 1 adolfo is upside down laying on the substrate, it occasionally moves but has now come to rest between some...

During a water change about 3 weeks ago something very weird happened. I usually siphon out 4-5 buckets of water which is roughly 35-45% of the water. After i siphoned out the 5th bucket 3 out of the 6 harlequins immediately and simultaneously turned upside down and laid on the substrate. I've...

Hi all Recently re scaped my large tank and decided to carpet with eleocharis sp mini. The substrate is aqua soil with tropica plant growth substrate underneath. I've got standard Juwel Rio 125L T5 lights 2x28 Watt 590mm. I bought 3 pots of tropica 1-2-grow eleocharis sp mini about 1-2 weeks...

I've soaked my driftwood for about 2 weeks now, changing the water every 2 days. It's now been in the tank with xmas moss attached to some branches for roughly 4-5 days. It's a new setup up so the substrate is new and still leeching ammonia (ada amazonia with tropica plant substrate underneath)...

Over the past few weeks my adolfoi has been losing its black colouring around one of its eyes. It's got to the point now where there is no colour at all around one eye, he's become very lethargic and stays still usually hidden for long periods of time. I have seen him eating occasionally and...

Hi guys, just a quick question regarding my JBL crystalprofi e1500. Although it is more than capable of handling the job in my 125L i have noticed that since swapping it for my internal juwel filter the water is no where near as clean. There is constantly a lot of debris suspended in the water...

Hi guys Impulse bought 6 Ottos on Wednesday at the LFS, 4 for the main tank and 2 for the cube. The 4 in the main are doing absolutely fine, all have been observed to move about and eat algae and rasp on different plants and tank sides. The cube is a lot different. At first both swam around...

Hi guys Had my D-D Complete system set up with my cube for about 4-5 days now. CO2 comes on at 4pm (lights at 6pm) and off at 10pm (lights off at 12pm). The first 2 days were brilliant, straight after filling the tank and the next day i could see lots of CO2 bubbles in between the leaves of...

I can definitely say that i am now addicted to fish keeping and aqua scaping! Managed to persuade my g/f to get a nano tank for the spare room so i can try my hand at a high tech iwagumi. Please let me know of what you think of the rock formation i made. I played around with different ideas...

Hi Guys I'm looking for a CO2 kit, i've read the FE and DIY guides but i feel massively out of my depth. I'm looking for a CO2 kit which i can literally plug in and set up, hassle free. I've had a look at some online but i'm stuck as to which to pick. I have a 125L with about 8-10 plants...

Hi all This question has probably been asked tonnes of times, had a quick scan through the recent topics but couldn't find anything substantive so i'm sorry for boring you all! I have a Juwel Rio 125, stocking at the moment is 6x Zebra danios, 6x Harlequins, 3x Golden Honey Gouramis, 3x Asian...

Hi guys Still been pondering over which fish to keep in my community tank and was thinking of getting one or two gourami's, either pearl or dwarf due to their small size and colourful patterns. I know they both will fit well in a community tank, they are hardy and also don't bully small fish or...

Firstly i'm sorry for the following questions, you guys probably answered these thousands of times but i can't find any definitive answers and i really am stuck! Secondly, weren't too sure where to post them because they are all general questions and don't fit to 1 topic. My pH is still 8, i'm...

Hi all, just thought i'd make a quick post seeing as i've just created a journal for my very first tank. Always wanted to keep fish but never had the time or room when i was in my parents house. I've recently moved to Wallington in South London and thought now is as best time as ever to start...

Hi all, i'm totally new to the aquarium scene and stumbled across the site after joining LFKC. Thought i'd make a journal in the hope of gaining much needed help and advice from the experts and hopefully see the tank grow into a well established habitat for my fish and plants. I went with the...

Hi all I've had my tank maybe around 4 weeks now and planning on buying my first fish in about a weeks time. Unfortunately i think some of the plants are dying and starting to rot from what i can see and could do with a few helping tips and pointers in order to revive them. Firstly, i forgot...
