Hi, I’m new to the group. My name is Jasmine (Canberra, Australia).
I have recently set up a tank (AquaOne 980) for tropical fish. I currently have the following in the tank; 2x bristle nose catfish 2x upside catfish (only been able to see 1 lately though) 5x red tetras 6x neon tetras 1x […]
Hi Lorraine (and Dennis). I’d like to chime in on this thread because I’m very concerned about the rock/boulder problem that you are highlighting here. We also have rocks and boulders in our pond, but they’re a necessity for us. You see, we’re just a few houses up from […]
Hi Kim,
Have you been keeping an eye on the water parameters in your pond? When the fish died, you said they looked to be in good condition. Did you look at their gills at all before disposing of them?

When I do my water changes I still feed […]
Hello,
Unforeseen circumstances have caused UniQuaria to set in place a few guidelines that all our members should be aware of. These guidelines will be updated as needed and posted to the list once per month. This frequent posting may be a nuisance but since new members are continually subscribing, this is a necessity. I […]
It does depend For the fish themselves, accumulation of nitrates should indicate when a water change is required for the fishs’ sake. For the plants, that can be an entirely different story! There are many approaches to fertilizing and managing a planted tank. Some of them, in particular for […]
The following was written because it needed to be. I was chatting with Ms. Vicki Vaughan about KHV and tests and suggested that she write such an article. And she said: “Hey, I’m too busy for that kind of ____! Write it yourself!” So I did - with HER knowledge […]
Hi, I found this ‘controversial’ article on making several ‘huge’ PWC to reduce the nitrate level in a short time. I’m wondering what you’ll have to say about the effects of this on fish.
