ummm how do you post a picture on here? lol

Thank you Mike, I will have a good look about, this only came about as l bought this tank for fish, not knowing that l would get hooked and then realise that its way too small for fish, so l got a bigger tank and thought what can l do with this one so it has gone into the kitchen next to the...

Ahh right tank you

Awww Thanks everyone. Promise l will put some pics on here today. The filter l have if l can explain it is in side a plastic housing, where it sucks up stuff from the tank is covered by a plastic grid is what it looks like, but its at the bottom of the filter, l have to remove this to get...

Hi Have just looked at the air pump/filter its not at all what l expected and you just know l have some questions now lol Does this replace my existing filter or do l run it with my existing filter? Do l need to cycle it, like l did my other filter? If so can l do it along side my existing...

Hi Thank you for your replies. I read about the anubias, some saying they cause problems and some saying they not sure if to believe this. They are cherry red shrimp, l believe they are quite hardy, there are some others that look lovely but are a bit more difficult and harder to get. I...

My six month old 25 litre tank used to be home to fish that have now been moved to bigger tank . I just want to check that l have read and understood everything and to see if l have missed anything important l have wood in with java fern attached and another with anubias l also have two moss...

I thought l had lost some of mine, so convinced of it l moved the fish out of the tank, killing one on transit to bigger tank (he jumped out of the bag) Then they all reappeared apparently they hide and they hide well, l felt so bad that l killed my fish, when it had not eaten my shrimp. I got...

Hi I have ember tetra and cherry red shrimp and they are fine, not bothered with the shrimp in fact the shrimp are not that much smaller, l did have zebra danio but they eat the shrimp but yes they do shoal are very lively :-)

Oh great thats ok then Thank you

Hi I have two tanks one larger one, one smaller one, both are well if not heavily planted, the one in question is my small tank l have just added some cherry red shrimp, but have read that they cannot tolerate copper, and some other elements which are in most ferts I just looked on the label...

Maidenhead Aquatics have them in, though not up for sale at the moment, maybe in a week or two, not lost any shrimp yet but then they only been in about 5 days, they seem to be colouring up nicely four are turning a real red colour and one is much paler more mottled. They gills seem ok, l have...

Its been up and running for about three months now, but l moved it to the kitchen because of my new tank about 3 weeks ago. Once new tank had finished cycling l put most of the fish into the new tank, but not these ones, however my heater broke so l did take them out and put them in the new...

Yes l have used tap safe, and yes there are bubbles being caused by the filter return arm. I am wondering as l have them in the kitchen on the work top, if they are not happy in where they are, as although its not the busiest kitchen they are on the work counter next to my computer but they may...

Um l dont know l have never kept shrimp before they are out and about in the tank they are pretty much the same as when l first put them in, but l would not call the active but they are moving a bit more than the fish ~ sorry l know that is a really dumb answer but thats the best way l can...

Yes they are most of the time, but every now and again they flash them is that the right saying. Today I have done a water change, l checked for Ammonia nitrite and nitrate all the results came back clear but like l say l did the water change good 30% but its not made any difference to them at...

No They are just hanging about the top, not interested in food, every now and again they come out from the corner go across the top of the tank all together and then back to the corner. They are normally so lively

Hi I have a small 25L fish tank which now lives in the kitchen in a little alcove, l have planted it with plants, and got bog wood in there, and have got 4 mountain minnows in there, l recently added 5 cherry red shrimp, but my fish are acting very strange, they are just staying at the top of...

Yes they are lovely little fish, the minnows do go for them a bit, but they have a right go back to and they are a fraction of the size, under the blue led lights all you see is little gold darts flying about the tank they are lovely

Yes l love planted tanks and both have a fair amount of plants about 19 in the 25L tank and l would say about 35/40 in the other tank, thats one reason why l thought l might not see much ammonia in my tanks as l know plants like ammonia

Right ok, would I still wait for putting in any fish, and how many would l put in to start with? If l just wait and carry on with the fish food, how long would it be before l am able to put fish in are we talking a few days or weeks? l am in no rush, l just not sure l am doing right thing, and...

Oh and l have got the four minnows and four ember tetras

My existing tank is a small 25L nano tank its a superfish sponge filter max liquid flow is 50- 200L/H ( l am going by what is written on the side of the filter, inside the filter is little balls of carbon l assume. The new tank is a superfish pro 400 and does 1000L/H

I don't know anyone local to me that has any filter media, l am getting a bit confused as when l bought my old small tank l was told to set it up, wait two weeks and then put fish in, that is exactly what l did, l did not know about fish forums, fishless cycles etc. Also looking back what was l...

Fish are back in the other/old tank and fine now unless l have done long term damage but they were only in for two hours max

I used nutrofin cycle and squeezed out my existing filter into the tank, it was also a second hand tank and external filter, l have added fish food and just waited and kept doing tests of the water.

Right am back now been chasing the fish round the tank, they can move when they want, anyway they are back home zapping around the tank, bossing everyone around, so much much happier, hope l have not done any damage to them. So give it another 3/4 weeks add some prime and amquel can l get this...

Thanks everyone, the fish are going to go back to old tank, I dipped the sponge in the water and gave it a good squeeze out, l have got an air pump but was told that it did not add oxygen so l now have filter part just out of the water so its causing a good old ripple and bubbles, Have got...

No I am not running Co2 just looking into it at the moment, but it is a newly cycled tank did it with nutrofin cycle and filter media squeezed in from an older tank, it no trouble to put them back into the older tank if its all wrong

Ok thank you, l was just worried as they are at the top of the tank, huddled together they have not swam down at all and its been a couple of hours

They are gold white cloud mountain minnows, the ammonia was 0 so was nitrite 0 and the temp is 25/26 degrees

Hi I have just put in four fish to start with into newly cycled tank, but they are just hanging about the top, they are not gasping for air, or darting about is this normal? Lisa1

Thanks Cookie Thanks Tim

Thanks Cookie Yes l used sand last time in my small tank and it was a mess, thought about using gravel this time but l want to keep panda corries and have heard sand is best for them so not sure what to do for the best, sand or gravel?

Thanks Ceg4048

Hi All I have a small 25 ltr tank, but have just bought a 125 ltr tank, I am just wondering, when l set up my small tank l bought the majority of plants as and when l set it up, just added the odd plant here and there at a later date, the problem l had was the sand got mixed up with the...

Hi Thank you for your reply, I should have asked first patience is not my strong point lol. I have kind of wedged it between the front of the tank and a piece of bog wood. Looking at the label now it says it difficult to grow so l have a challenge on my hands like l said in at the deep end...

Hi All Am new to the planted aquarium world and really enjoying it so far. Am in the Swindon area. Have kept fish in the past, but now am really into the plant world, would love to achieve the mini jungle effect. However typical me jumps into the deep end, excuse the pun, and is learning as...
