Yuss!!

hey guys, new to the forum, finding it a bit hard to find my way around, but its busy in here, so if you guys could point me in the right direction ?

picked up the big 180L tank that was on special at the animates aqua fun day a month ago in botany, our fish have settled well, got 4 silver and black angel fish from a good chap in howick 2 week ago and they have mixed really will with the two gold ones we have. now im wondering about water testing, i have a PH kit and have thought about getting one of those big kits with all the different things in it. . . is it worth it, or buy them separately or is there stuff i dont need or do but isnt in the big kit.

kinda lost and had a hard time finding any info. my fish have done fine for the last year with me doing water changes and PH checks, but think i should be steeping up with the bigger tank.

a point in the right direction is super appreciated guys!!!

Welcome

Make a post in that section to introduce yourself. This is the fun section.

Glad to hear your angels are doing good. Did you find out about helping me get rid of my other ones? lol

Work today! Here's hoping my car doesn't break down on the way! (again :rotf: )

Hi Smurff. The forum is quite easy to find your way around when you stop and look at it. I hope you realise this is just part of a much larger site full of information? Click on the FNZAS logo top left of the page to go to the Home Page and see all the information in the various areas there.

The forum is divided into 5 public areas. The first is called Start and that is where we put announcements, you can introduce yourself in the Welcome section, look up what clubs are posting about their meetings or events, or post in the beginner section if you are unsure where your question should go.

The Community Tank section is a general holdall for questions on the broad subjects lists there - cold, freshwater, marine, technical, DIY, diseases and the trade and exchange.

The Members Tanks is just for members to post photos of their aquariums (or ponds) with a detailed list of size, filtration, stocking, plants etc. for others to admire.

The Specialist Corner is just that, for more in-depth questions on specific species and breeding.

Finally there is Other Business where you can post questions to do with the website itself, read about, vote on, or enter competitions. It also has the Off Topic section where you can talk about stuff other than fish.

Have a cruise around the Home Page and see what else there is to see :thup:

Finally, the important tests are really ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. pH can be useful too. Some people test weekly and others never bother at all. If something goes wrong in your tank, the first thing you will be asked is the readings for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. This will give you a good idea of what you problem may be and how to correct it. A bigger tank is actually easier to look after and should be more stable than a smaller one so less testing required.

Whether you buy an all in one kit or individually is up to you. I think the all in one's are often cheaper but don't actually know as I have not tested my own tanks for years. Check the use by dates on them before purchase. pH tests will last for years but the others do not.

This is the What's Up? thread where members tell us what they have been up to lately.

I maaaay have just brought a 180L from work :oops: I'm not earning any money working at animates! :rotf:

WC + ferts.

With some ninja like reflexes a straw and some patience I caught this worm in my tank

Any ideas?

how about you crop the photo so we see more worm and less floor then we might be able to guess :rotf:

I hearby name it Harry.

Harryius Wormius

>.< I don't know how to crop on my phone, but anyway it's on the drop on the right looks like a pink ring.... But it is just curled.

Harry is planaria.

Mmm these thing float around, but yes I guess Harry could be planaria... :slfg:

Went HFF friday, saw 2 nice almost white dragon females and couldn't decide between them :dunno:. Now that I've decided and went back, the one I wanted isn't there anymore. Such is the way life works. This one's colour isn't as nice, but does seem to have a lot more spunk. She's in the tank next to my opaque white boy and he seems to like her. Seems to be trying awfully hard to impress her. I have no tanks to put any fry atm, but one day in the future, maybe I'll breed them.
