Who Gives A Fish Forums

Over the past week and a half, I've been noticing my Betta just chillin' at the bottom of the tank more often. I figured he was just catching some Z's. But today I took a closer look and, man, his fins are all torn up. I don't have a water test kit on hand, but the tank is pretty established, so I'm ...

Hi everyone, I've been convinced it's best to rehome my 5 Cherry Barbs from my 30 litre Biorb, as they're thriving with zero ammonia and nitrite readings. Now I'm considering a Male Betta, but I have a few concerns.

Looking at my current tank decor, I'm worried it might be too sharp for a male ...

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of getting another tank and my local store has the AquaEl Ultrascape, which seems perfect for aquascaping. It's 90cm wide, 60cm deep, and 45cm high - a great size, but I'm not sure if it's suitable for all fish types.

I've already got my heart set on some electric blue ...

I've got my water parameters - the GH is pretty neutral, sitting at 7. I do think constant parameters are more important than the actual numbers, though. I mean, most fish are bred and kept in all sorts of different water conditions, and people seem to keep them happy and healthy regardless. I've ...

I'm actually based in Australia now, I've recently made the move to Tasmania. The tank sourcing situation here is really tough, and expensive - this AquaEl Ultrascape is the biggest I can get within my budget, and it's still going to set me back over $2000. It's 250 litres, but I know the dimensions ...

I'm planning to move my 60-litre tank to a new stand, and I'm a bit concerned about the logistics. The tank is heavily aquascaped and planted, so I'm not sure how to approach this. I was thinking of draining the water as low as possible, then lifting the tank onto the new stand. However, I'm worried ...

I've been reading that ammonia leaching is a common issue with aquasoils - is this specific to certain brands or a characteristic of all aquasoils in general. I'd also appreciate any insight into how long this process can take, as I'm planning on doing a fish-in cycle using established filter ...

I've been doing some further research and it seems a lot of aquasoils release a fair amount of ammonia. I'm just wondering if this would still be the case if I were to use the mesh bag method I mentioned earlier, with the aquasoil in the bags and then topped with sand.

I've come across a similar setup where they've used all aquasoil behind the hardscape wall. I'm not sure if it's worth the investment, as it does seem to achieve the desired height. I'm still leaning towards one of my initial ideas, but I thought it was worth sharing this example.
