    Glass ledges in aquarium

    It's a brand new tank. You can see what I mean in this image (just behind the outlet pipe being put into the tank in the picture)

    Glass ledges in aquarium

    I've just upgraded my aquarium from a 125l to a 215l, and the new one has glass ledges about 3 inches below the top of the tank about 1.5 inches wide, front and back - what on earth are they for? Is there a practical use? I have couple of ideas: Water line indicator (seems a bit extreme given...

    Anyone know anything about clamped tail fins?

    Hi ChuckinMA thanks for your reply. Our water parameters haven't changed at all and there are no signs of damage (see the picture above - his other side is the same!). Weirdly, he was (or maybe still is) the alpha male! It's really strange, the behaviour in the tank amongst the apisto's does...

    Anyone know anything about clamped tail fins?

    Hi, Have been away from the forums for a while due to life taking over (it still is, but...), we've got a small(?) problem with a couple of our apisto's. We have a general community tank with a couple of male and 3 female Apisto's, all A. Agassizii (2 double red and the others different but we...

    Stocking issues???

    Yes lots of live plants - not enough to class it as a "Planted tank", but quite a lot! I'm honestly not too worried about the Nitrate, it generally falls well within "normal" levels, and we do frequent water changes. HOWEVER... Wee dosed with Harka-verm Levamisole on Friday, then cleaned out...

    Stocking issues???

    Tank is 80cm(W)x45cm(H)x35cm(D). The Nitrate moves between 0ppm and 40ppm (it's actually currently about 10ppm after a water change 7 days ago), depending on frequency of water changes. We put worst case scenario in the original question, but it's rarely that high. However Ammonia and Nitrite...

    Stocking issues???

    Hi there, we've previously posted about a problem with A. Agassizi wasting away and now having camullanus worms which we're about to treat for. I'm sure this question has been asked loads of times, but there seems to be no general rule or consistent answer that I could find, so I thought I'd...

    A. Agassizii wasting away

    Sorry for not coming back, life took a hold and it's been hell for the last couple of weeks!! Just what we didn't need!! We feed them a mixture of dry or frozen bloodworms, Cichlid pellets, flake foods, delphina, frozen mosquito larvae or brine shrimp (fresh or frozen) and tubifex (again...

    A. Agassizii wasting away

    Hi, My fiancee and I have been trying to keep A. agassizii for a while, but regularly lose them to exactly the same symptoms, which no one's been able to help us with really - after a long spell of no losses, we've suddenly got another one displaying the same symptoms, which basically is...

    Let us introduce ourselves...

    Thanks for the welcome. Ha ha, I know what you mean - we've spent a fortune on fish, though we only have a 120l (33gal) tank, a 19l (5gal) tank for a Betta and 10l (2.5gal) shrimp tank, they seem to consume huge amounts of cash - an outlay we have to reduce soon as we buy ourselves a house...

    Let us introduce ourselves...

    Hi there, Let us introduce ourselves, we're Damian and Kim, we're in our 30's, are engaged and are from Bedford in England, UK. We have been keeping tropical fish since June 2012 and are really (mostly) enjoying the hobby (when we're not having unsolvable deaths and diseases to contend with!)...
