I'm a beginner, and this is a new 60 gallon tank. My pH is 6.0-6.2, and ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite are all ZERO and have been for almost two months. The tank has two aquaclear 300 filters running. A few live plants. I started with 12 glowlight tetras in the brand new tank. One died the first...

I have a 80 gallon glass aquarium tank I must get rid of. The glass is 1/2 inch thick and there are no detectable leaks or scratches on the glass that I can see. Being glass it weighs a LOT! and I do not wish to ship it (it would be cost prohibitive). So interested parties near the Miami, Florida...

My plec is not laying flat any longer. He doesn't seem to hook firmly to rocks or the tank glass either when he tryst. He is just acting sick. This is one week after my swordtail began swimming funny and last night one of my neon tetras did the same. Today it's the plec. I started...

LOL here here! (or is it hear hear?). But there is a middle road. I find the test kits essential in establishing what my source water is like (to match fish to it if needed), and for monitoring periodically what the aquarium's trends are (if there is a trend), and if my maintenance...

My pl*co is bent like a "C". He is lying on the bottom of the tank half on his side and not sucking on anything. Any idea what may be going on? We did a 20% water change two weeks ago at which time our swordtail began swimming without balance. Last night one of my neons began swimming with tail...

I have not had good results with this. I could see no difference in water clarity. My water clarity was terrible and remained terrible untill I upgraded the filter. Evan Davis

Anyone care to identift these juvenile cichlids? http://www.cutecats.co.uk/cichlids.jpg I am wondering what these are, I have 10 in total, a few of each in the picture. I want to add another 10 to 15, of a different Cichlid, hopefully which will become colourful adults. I like the look of the...

Complete newbie here, so forgive my stupidity! Recently (3 months ago) got a small tank for some tropical fish. Had problems with the light (5/8"x12" 8W). After about a month, it came on brightly when it was turned on but that only lasted for 30 or so seconds before dimming to a much lower...

Hello, I was wondering if you guys could recommend a probe or meter which tests the water for the following: - Nitrite - Nitrate - Ammonia - PH

Hello, I have just purchased a 300 litre aquarium to be used for Tropical freshwater. I already have an established 100 litre aquarium, and I do partial water changes every 4 or 5 days. Can I kick start this aquarium with 50 litres of the other tanks water? Or should I start afresh? Regards,

OK, yesterday we got a lovely dark blue (with 2 perfect red stripes) Siamese fighter. however, after a short time he went over to the filter (fluval 3+) and looked like he was either leaning against it or seemed to be stuck. I moved him off and then after a while he did it again, and again,...
