If anyone is thinking of starting and want a tropical tank kit then Aldi are selling a good start kit at the moment for £38.

The tank and lid looks like they were built by the same people as ours which is a Fluval, don't know what the pump and heater are like.

Thanks friend, me and the missus are (well she) setting up a new aquarium again, this should shut her up so i can have my pirahnahs again, i want pirahnahs but she wants troprical

good to have 2 tanks, mine wont starve then

*joke*

My son has one wasting away in my back garden. Its covered up and complete with one of them sponge pretend rock backgrounds and has pump , filter and heater etc. The glass needs cleaning but is perfect otherwise.

That rock background cost £45 two years ago as a christmas present for him.I know he doesent want to give it away but hes not trying to sell either. The price will be more than good value as it is going next week (Bidston tip)if he leaves it there!

Pm me if you are interested and you can speak to him......he is under orders to get it out of our way by the end of next week!

Thanks ebay

Yerrr, this is a tank



Nice, now i need to shut her up

Visit that supermarket and get her that starter kit methinks, she can have all the gay fish that come with this whilst i can get my pirahnahs

What kinda fish you wanting to keep? I keep tropical fish and have a comunity tank, with the usual in, neons, figher fish, platys etc ooohhh and i have Miniture bristle nose plecs if anyones intrested.. free to good home as mine wont stop breeding!! there driving me nuts.. ha ha

Hmmm, we keep tropical fish but at the moment we are having a problem since putting a weekend food tablet in our tank

Our prized Tiger barb has died
He was huuuge!




I have to get another tank before i can get piranahas as there are quite a few fish in this tank they will need a pretty big tank to be transfered.

Friend of mine is giving me their 2 year old 5 ft tank, stand. pump, gravel and drift wood in the next week or two.

I am so excited, not sure where i will be able to fit it yet though lol.

Oh noooo .. i've used the 7days tablets once but was worried as my plecs are so greedy that they'd gobble it up in a few days..but they worked out ok.. i prob wont used them again tho. as worried that much i had someone check on them every other day so probably could have just got them to feed them instead!!

Your brave gettin piranahas.. my mate has cichilids and you wont get me putting my hand in there tank lol..id never wanna clean a piranahas tank out.. yikes

I have used the "Supa Vacation Fish Food" a few times, need to put them in a day or two before you go away but they work fine for my tropical. I normally put in two blocks on my 40l tank, twice the reccomended. The blocks are like a chalk (actually calcium sulphate) with food bits inside - the fish can't get greedy as the block has to dissolve to release. They last two weeks, afterwards, need to "vaccuum" the chalk particles which sink in the stones. These are dirt cheap as well, about a squid each (couldn't resist the pun).

They also do a weekend version of these.

On the instructions it mentions introducing plants as an alternative food source - has anyone tried this - if so what plants?

Other paste/gel types of long term food have clouded my water and taken weeks to stabilise again.

i'll have to give them ago next time i go campin, my tank is 130l so i have to buy a few so a quid each sounds good to me
