The room the tank would go in is 7c today which is probably what it is most mornings while it's in the cold months so for the fish I was thinking of would need the temp raising 15c daily, is that going to cost a fortune?

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking last night of insulation for the tank for colder months, I was thinking maybe using cylinder jackets and on the lids too. I was looking at keeping ropefish which are tropical, the only sub tropical fish I'd probably look to keep might be a snakehead but...

I'm looking at setting a tank back up in the new year but the only place I can put it will be the conservatory which in winter time is a very cold room, it has a radiator but the heating only comes on one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. The tank would be a 240l tank so more...

After doing some more research I think I am leaning more towards a ropefish and congo tetra setup. I understand a sand substrate is best for them and would like to do a planted tank but have never tried one before and wondered which plants would be easy to grow as a beginner and how hard it...

Thanks! I was looking at senegal bichirs but I know nothing about them most of my recent research has been based on rope fish rather than bichirs. Thanks for the reply. Great! The tank isn't even set up yet and probably won't be until after Christmas so it's all planning at the moment. My...

Hello. I am looking to set up a tank with hopefully some rope fish or bichirs with maybe some congo tetras in with plants. The tank I have measures 120cm x 40cm x 55cm which is 240 litres. I was wondering if I opted for rope fish and congo tetras what numbers could go or if the bichir route...

Hello all. I have a 48"x15"x18" LxWxH tank ~60 gallons. I was looking at starting my first African cichlid tank and was wondering what species are good for new setups and how many would fit in the above tank? I was looking at something like yellow labs and was wondering how a species only tank...

They are both in together at the minute. Oscar is around 6" GT maybe 4". Just one of each going OK so far.

Thanks! Taking it all on board for if I get a new one!

Its a tank and stand oak setup from a company I got second hand. Im not sure why its an odd size I assumed it was a full 6ft when I bought it. The 56" is the tank they are already in currently I was looking at potentially buying a new one and was curious if a 24" wide would work.

Thanks for the replies!

Hello all. I was looking at a new tank and was wondering for fish like oscars and green terrors which tanks are better for them specifically a 48x24x24" versus a 66x22x18" (LxHxW). Thanks!

The tank I have is 66"x18"x22" its roughly 420 litres (another member mentioned 480. I mistyped 6ft on phone last night for 5). Tank currently has a 6" Oscsar and 6 Silver dollars but if the Lima will outgrow it thats no worries I havent ordered anything yet so its not a problem if it cant work...

Thanks for the reply! My oscar is usually calm other than a few chases with the few silver dollars we have. If I send a link to the fish I would be looking at ordering would you be able to tell me if you think it would be OK in a 6ft tank as I dont want to order it if I cant house it! The link...

Hey guys. Does anyone have any experience with Lima Shovelnoses? I was wondering if it would be suitable for my 420 litre tank with an oscar in. The Oscsar is about 6" and the Catfish on offer would be about 6". Thanks

Hello all. Looking for the best food for color and growth on a 2" Gold Saum. At the minute I am feeding them hikari cichlid gold once a day and frozen king prawns once a week. Is there any better products or better feeding schedule to follow for growth and color? thanks

I have a female JD in the tank thats about 4inch so I wasnt sure if they would get on. There is plenty of hiding spots but the JD already chases the silver dollars lol

Hey guys. Can and how long for could a 2" gold saum live in a 30gal tank for? I have a 420l tank already but would like to grow the fish more first. Thanks

In my case the glass is level but the stands out. Think its anything to worry about?

Ive attached the pics above. The first 3 pics are the stand from left to right. The last 3 pics are the lid middle left then right. The level on the lid matches ontop of the glass. Sorry if thats confusing ive left my 4ft level at work so had to use my 18" one. The pics also show the stand...
