  1. no it just looked fat and was acting fine and yeah the angel fish thinks its the boss of the tank :lol:
  2. no light yet i had one neon die, it got really fat and i found it dead in the tank, it looked like it had exploded or the other fish had eaten it, it was hollow. my fighter seemed really sick, it kept hanging round the bottom of the tank trying to hide in the rock's but now it seems fine. the angel fish even tho it is small seem's to be bit of a bully.
  3. i have just had the same problem today with my female fighter, i caught the fighter trying to bury itself in the rocks and the mollie was nipping at its tail.
  4. well got my master test kit today and all the test's are as follows ammonia = 0.25 nitrite = 0 nitrate = 40 ph level = 7.6 do they look right? i also have 1 neon that has gotten super fat lol pregnant? i dunno.
  5. all is going well, my ph level has always been 7.6 each time i test it, i still have no light yet, i have quite a lot of condensation build up in the lid and am still looking for a light to suit.
  6. ok i have put 5 fish in the tank after having it empty for 10 days feeding it fishfood, and with 8 plant's. 2xneons 2xpeppered catfish 1xmollie i changed about 20l of water the night before adding fish. i seem to have a furry type of algae (looks like mould spores, and feels slimy) growing over everything (cat fish and mollie seem to be eating it). my ph is 7.6, temp is 27 i am feeding them masterfoods community diet food. do certain fish like certain food?
  7. what temp should i have my heater set to and is it ok to have the cord in the tank aswell. it says it is full submirsable but im a bit wary of doing it :oops: . is it ok for the heater to be against the glass of the tank aswell?
  8. Hi all well finally got my tank (100litre) up and running with 10 plant's in it. And i thought i would start a thread for my question's. (can't b bothered starting a new thread everytime i have a query) Thank's for looking. p.s feel free to leave any other word's of advice you think i might be interested in.
