I have never quarantined any fish. I would say be quite picky as to where you buy them from and make friends with the staff there. Hopefully they will tell you where they source them from and also how long the fish you are looking at have been in the tank. If the fish appear to be very cheap...

Just came across this pic and thought I would share it

I did also find when I had lots of wood that formed caves it resulted in all of my corys hiding away even more and when they did venture out they were very jumpy. I do agree that once you have plants that have grown in and they are able to be out of "line of sight" they become braver and start...

In my experience the pygmys will come out,if the light is on in the tank but the room is dark. I find with all my corys if they can't see you they will happily come out. Although saying that all are fine when they are eating Bloodworm or Prima. You could try adding some larger corys in the mix...

If you type in Unipac silver Sand into a search engine it should come up. Think its around £15 for 25kilos. In the past I have bought Silver Sand from Garden centres which is usually even cheaper.

Hi I have mine in Silver Sand and they are doing really well in it. As long as you go for something with a small grain size you should be ok.JBL's Sansibar looks quite fine although a bit on the pricey side depending on the size of your tank.

Esha whitespot treatment is one of the best on the market in my opinion. As mentioned earlier it is worth raising the temperature in your tank which should speed up the cycle. Cardinals are very prone to this disease and can get it as a result of large water changes if the temperature of the...
