The platy passed away unfortunately but I’m still wanting to find out what might be the cause! I highly doubt it is fish TB - the curved spine only started yesterday before he passed. Could have been parasites as he did become very emaciated but no other fish seem to be effected so I’m...

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with him? I have a video but can’t upload it so I’ve tried to get screen shots from it.. This platy has been struggling for a while. He spent the last few days at the top of the tank, not eating - looks very skinny/emaciated and had started developing the...

Thank you!

I recently got a used tank and it required a lot of cleaning - I’ve noticed there are quite a few tiny scratches in the inside of the tank like someone has used a brush to scrub it so I want to try and get them out by using toothpaste and a soft cloth (I’ve heard this can smooth out any small...

Anyone? I’m currently looking at these two: NICREW Planted LED Aquarium Light, 24/7 Automated https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B082CWFTFK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CRaKFb9TZAZ09?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Or Hygger 9W-32W Aquarium Light, Dimmable LED Aquarium Light with Timer...

Hi everyone I have just picked up a used Juwel Trigon 190 corner tank and I’m so excited to get it set up! I’m wanting a new light for the tank that has blue light that can be left on at night as well as the daylight - don’t want to spend loads though. Can anyone recommend lights that would fit...

I was thinking of adding a few more but recently one of the bigger ones has become a territorial bully! It keeps chasing the others around and I’ve notice tiny nips from some of the others’ fins so part of the reason I was wanting to add some different fish was to try and curb this bullying...

I’m wanting to add a few new fish to my tank just to give it some more activity but I’m struggling to decide what! I have a 20 gal with massive filtration and I water change at least 30-40% every week so with respect please don’t try and give over-stocking advice.. I currently have 6 sterbai...

The Limpopo is the 0.2mm - 1mm size. I’ve heard good things about it but I think I’ll end up going for the other unipac sand (.5 - .6)

Me too I nearly got the BDBS but for every website/article saying it was great and fine for corys, there was another saying otherwise! So confusing The ones I’m looking at are Unipac - one is it labelled as ‘coloured black sand’ and the other is Limpopo black sand Pray for me hilarious

I’ve become obsessed with sand and colours and grain sizes hilarious I need reassurance on my thoughts I can’t trust myself to make the right decision lol!

Thank you! I was thinking the 0.5-0.6mm would probably be the better option - but there are so many opinions out there for what is best for corys it’s crazy !

I am struggling to decide what would be best between two sands - one has grain size of beteeen 0.2mm - 1mm The other has grain size between 0.5mm - 0.6mm Obviously the first one has smaller grain size but also goes up much bigger and the variant is quite vast. Whereas the second option is on...

Thank you! Great advice I have read somewhere not to use black sand with corys, do you know why? I can’t understand how one colour or another would make a difference? I think I’m leaning towards black sand as I currently have white gravel so fancy a change! But after reading that I’m not...

I am planning on changing my substrate to sand.. I’ve been wanting to do this for ages so I think it’s about time I take the plunge! I need help deciding what sand to use though? Natural colour? Black? I have been looking at Caribsea Super Naturals or Flourite black? Are these any good? I...

Thank you - all other fish have been great! I will keep a close eye on them all though. Are honey Gouramis quite sensitive? They did seem to stress easily over the slightest thing I have rummy nose tetras who are extremely sensitive and skittish (first batch I got were very very small and all...

Sorry should have states those in my post.. Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate around 20ppm PH 7.4 Tank size 20 gal I had them about 3 months - I feed a variety of foods: NLS small pellets, bug bites tropical flakes, freeze dried daphnia, Hikari sinking wafers, Hikari algae wafers, vibra bites and...

Hi all I had two honey gourami (1 M & 1 F). The male died fairly soon after I got them maybe about a month in.. No particular signs of illness other than he was always hiding away and didn’t seem to eat much. I thought maybe the other gourami or another fish in the tank were perhaps...

Wow really? I will have to do some Youtubing, see if I can figure it out! That’s really kind of you but I am in the UK unfortunately!

Sounds good but I’m not sure I’m experienced enough to start making my own cultures! hilarious
