Your aquarium looks amazing I'm going to give this a try. Thanks

Thanks, Good to know Lol, cories will be cories I'll give the bottle cap idea a go, and use orion1066 of marble chips I love the look and the idea of pots but if it's like vegetable gardening the roots may get rootbound which would then require re-potting

Almost every morning my lobelia cardinalis plant is floating instead of stuck in the sand substrate because my Corydoras have dug it up. I've tried making the sand deeper where it's planted but the Corys still find a way to dig them up. They love playing in the plants so I don't want to cover...

Happy one month It's great to hear some positive stories

I am still fairly new but I am not sure your tank is fully cycled, if it was I think you should have some nitrate reading; also I have read before that fish bouncing off substrate could be a sign of bad water quality (hardness\chlorine). Recently I posted a query as I was not sure if my...

I've been using the pets at home love fish plant food; like your tank I have sand substrate and no co2. The growth is ok-ish on the Java fern and Lobelia cardinalis, the Cryptocoryne has not grown at all. I think it takes ages for Marimo Moss Balls to grow

I saw a really good sand washing video on YouTube which I used to clean the sand when setting up my tank; the guy filled a large water bottle with 40% sand 60% water closed the lid and shook and repeated till clear. Hopefully it clears up for you soon

Thanks a lot everyone, I now have a few techniques to try out I never thought of it in that way. I have the API master test kit, nitrates are currently between 5.00ppm and 10.0ppm Are the bloodworms a treat or an everyday food?

There are a lot of posts where people talk about feeding, and I know there is no wrong or right answer but I need some help....... I currently have 4 endlers, 1 swordtail, 3 corydoras and in tank fish sitting 2 female bettas. Prior to the fish sitting I fed the fish once a day in the morning...

I arrived home this evening to 1 fry, not sure if the others are hiding or if they have been eaten. Mummy Swordtail swam straight to me begging for food, she really is a little piggy!

Thanks, tempreature is at a constant 25 degrees celsius. I'm not sure how long she has been like this possibly 2-3 weeks. I'll try the salt bath if nothing changes over the next 2 weeks; do I need to get a new tank to treat separately or treat the whole tank?

Can you you tell me if my swordtail is pregnant or bloated ........ She is very piggy so I now fast 2 days a week and give peas as a meal once a week. She seems to be getting fatter, and her gravid spot is dark sometimes and light other times. She is still very active but does like to hang...

Over the last few weeks I have noticed my fish do some very odd things (well at least odd to me). One of the Endlers which I think may be part Guppy constantly follows the female Swordtail, he is like her shadow. I had read previously that Endlers are not schooling fish, he is not nipping her...

I think I will have to invest in the liquid test kit; as a newbie I thought the strips would be easier but its pointless if the results are not accurate. Now I am scared that what I thought was a slight trace would actually mean I have a high number of nitrites. After each water change I am...

I’m fairly new to the hobby, 1 feed once a day 6 days a week a mix of flakes, pellets; Saturday is fasting day, and one day a week they get mashed peas. In regards to quantity the flakes I bought came with a miniature scoop so I use this to measure 1 scoop of flakes and half a scoop of pellets...
