Try Pier Aquatics in Wigan first, I think they are you best bet.

Also try Premier Aquatics in Runcorn. And Finest Aquatics in Widnes. Good luck.

Can anyone identify these worms found in the bottom of a sump online a Discus Tank. We suspect they may be harmless detritus worms, but the owner just wants to be certain. TIA

Thanks Darrell, very much appreciated. They have indeed done exactly what you have advised above. I mixed the powder in a solution of warm water in a small container and made sure it was completely dissolved before adding it. So it appears to have done the trick. I also vacuumed out the few...

Hi, the 22% Panacur - Fenbendazole arrived today. I did a 50% water change and added it to a small sample of water, mixed it, and added it around 1.30pm this afternoon. How do you know when the Hydra are dead? I can still see plenty of them on the glass at the moment. Do they just fall off...

Hi Darrel, Yes I have seen the fresh water Hydra, they are another pain in the backside. I have been siphoning them out doing water changes. But you can never get them all. I might end up catching as many of the shrimp as I can, sell them to my local LFS. Then bin the plants and substrate.

Is there a fish I could put on there to maybe gobble them up and keep them in check, but one that won't eat the shrimp.

Thanks Darrel, That is a relief. Although to be honest they do really freak me out. I think I'd rather not have them but probably impossible now to get rid of them now that they are in there. Cheers, Steve

I'm happy with that. Please give me until Friday to see what comes in the post from Roland before letting any of it go. Thank you. Steve

People on Ebay are asking for a Liver or a Kidney for this amount.

I will, I'm clicking my heels waiting for the wood to sink.

Well I took out the original Eheim Twin T5 Light Unit, left the Fluval Fresh Plant Pro 3.0 above the tank on a very low light setting. But the light I decided on and bought is a Fluval Plant Nano from the Abyss Aquatic Warehouse in Stockport. I looked at many others, but went for this based on...

Lucky you. I would have taken a truck load back home with me if I could have done.

This is what I'm aiming for.
