I have introduced co2 in the last few months with great results but a bit worried about lack of oxygen. I have repositioned my pump outflow in the direction that best suits my plants, so now pointing diagonally down. I used to have it pointing up to disturb the water surface after once having a...

Just wondering how a discus would do in this 240L tiger Barb tank. 29 barbs and a BGK. It will be to replace my BGK when he outgrows the tank pretty soon. please share your experiences.

I can’t remember what these three plants that I bought are called. I’m all ears to any tips for trimming/looking after/encouraging red colour.

My juwel Rio 240 planted tank comes with a filter that pushes out 600 l/h. I think I’m holding about 200 litres of water give or take and looking for 10x water flow. I just purchased 2x 3000l/h wave makers and tried just one out. Obviously, it was too much… I was going to return and try 2x...

I missed the notification to your reply! Thanks do you have any pictures? I would love to customise the lid on mine to fit 2 hoses to hook up a second filter but was worried about ruining it.

Thanks. I have a 55G planted with lots of caves. I’m fully aware how big they get. I’m hoping to keep for 12 months before having to re home but we’ll see how it goes. What would be the issue with the Rams? They only have scuffles between themselves. The tetras are what’s left from a bigger...

Hopefully I’m in the right sub I worry my BGK doesn’t get enough food. he’s in there with 4 blue rams 15 tetras and some not so fast fish. As you can imagine, I drop my bloodworms(1 thawed out cube) in next to him and by the time he’s worked out dinner is here the fish have swarmed the area...

Hi gang I have a Juwel Rio 240. My local fish store says the Fluval LED lights they have are compatible with the Juwel tank but I have my doubts so I just wanted to see if anyone else has any experience in upgrading their Juwel lighting system.

That’s interesting. What about the missing part of dorsal fin, could that be Lymphcystis or possibly something like fin rot? thanks

What is this on my Balloon Ram? I didn’t notice in the shop. Thought it would heal on its own in my tank but it’s not budging. I thought white spot but something tells me it’s not so please help me you beautiful lot! Also am I right in thinking she is a Female?

Thanks for the replies everyone! Dimensions are 1200mm x 410mm x 550mm It does sound like it will be more hassle than it’s worth. I know it would work while they are juveniles but they can be real jerks when they grow up and want to spawn so I’ll wait for a bigger tank. And thanks South I’ll...

He’s my first betta. I’d say he can stick up for himself as he used to really chase my ram about. He chilled out when I swapped the ram for a balloon ram who was a bit bigger. I may be up for swapping out the Betta. Really, I was worried about the space they’d have to swim around and also the...

240litre So I had two beautiful angels when I started out but once they matured, one turned on the other and it was horrendous. I kept one for a while but he eventually went to another home too. I’d like to try angels again but only with 5 to spread the aggression. Will 5 Angels be too much...

Hi! I recently spent a bomb on a Java fern attached to some wood. I love it but a couple of leaves were slightly decade, I believe it’s slowly getting worse. Should I cut these leaves off or will they come back if looked after the right way? If I am to cut them, do I cut right at the bottom of...
