Who Gives A Fish Forums

It can only help, you know, doing another water change, even if it's just 50%, it's better than nothing, and maybe it'll give your fish a bit of a break.

Hi, I've had my Fluval edge 46L up and running for about 3 weeks now, started with 5 African Cichlids and a bristle nose catfish, now I'm down to 3 Cichlids. Had a long air stone across the back but it was causing too much splashing, so I took it out and let it run for a week, fish seemed fine ...

Hi,

I'm setting up a 25L planted tank and I'm struggling to find the right plant packs. I vaguely recall some UK websites offering bundles tailored to tank size, plant type and difficulty level, but that was about 10 years ago.

Just give people a bit more time to respond, topic's only a day old. Posting in the right sub-forums is usually the way to go, you'll get more accurate advice and help build those sections up, more activity in them means better and faster responses.

Also, this is an Old World cichlid question - I moved your last post to the right section, btw.
