They're less than an inch currently so I don't think they're mature enough - but it'd be cool if they were! Yup, Maidenhead Aquatics in Melksham had a few left (probably 3/4). Incorrectly labelled as L059's but most definitely L183's :)

Well what would you know, less than twenty minutes after lights off and one of them appears as if by magic! I'll try and put in some "cave like structures" with the luck they'll hide in that so can still be seen. cheers

Slice of cucumber is in, poked onto a bamboo skewer though a gap in one of the pieces of bogwood :p Will see what happens overnight

Thank goodness for that, was really starting to worry for a bit! I'll not start shifting wood around yet. Thinking about it I think the other half bought a cucumber for her lunch the other day...

I added two Ancistrus dolichopterus to my 190 litre on Monday. Both seemed very happy, darting around, eating lots of algae on the glass. Now I can't find them for the second day running. Not a flipping trace. Ammonia and Nitrite levels are fine in the tank and the Neon Tetra are not showing...

Sounds almost as hard as the tap water here... Having injected CO2 will bring your pH level down a bit. Personally - get your tank planted and growing before you put in any fish as they'll not be very chuffed with you keep disturbing the substrate etc if you have to replant any bits or move...

I've brought fish back to Wiltshire from Bridgend - 2 hours(ish) without any problems. Make sure that they're in a dark bag (e.g. brown paper) to minimise the amount of light they get else it could stress them out. I nearly always introduce new fish with the light off and wait for at least 30...

Ouch! I've heard that an assassin snail will sort that problem out. Were the plants in a tank when you bought them? Most of the one's I've seen round me are in a separate glass cabinet.

So your tank is partially cycled. You shouldn't find your ammonia increases from now on, but your Nitrite may do - if it goes above 1~2ppm do a water change as before. Your Nitrate will likely continue to increase unless you have quite a high number of plants (plants need it so you don't need...

Just looked and TetraMin Crisps are flake food, so you'd be safe just putting in a few flakes - enough that they can eat in a couple of minutes. Any they've not eaten just scoop out so they don't rot & fester at the bottom of the tank. I was in a very similar situation when I started my tank...

More than happy to help, guppies can be insane little fish, but full of personality. Females can store sperm for up to six months so sticking with males is a very good way of controlling what you have in the tank ;) Fish can survive for quite a long time with no food, however I would actually...

Hiya, Sadly there are a lot of shops that aren't aware of something called "Fishless Cycling". As GillesF says basically it's a process where you build up beneficial bacteria which turns ammonia (which comes from fish waste, aka poo and wee) into nitrite and then nitrate. There are quite a...

I bought one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001 ... ss_product the other day. Since using it my gravel is looking significantly less poo covered! The end it comes with is flipping huge though, so I'm going to take it off and just use the tube (roughly 3/4"), though I am going to...
