Hey guys, I have not posted for a long while. Having had fish for two years now, I have learnt a bit and realised what I like/ don't like.
I currently have a 70 litre aquarium, with an external filter, and if I am honest it looks very messy and I want to switch to an 'all in one' aquarium.
I enjoy fish keeping but am pretty amateur and not looking for something high maintenance or complicated, just want to have a nice looking tank that does what it says on the tin and is suitable for my stock.
I currently have
I have been using AqAdvisor to check and I think I will probably look at getting a few more cory, and perhaps some tetra/ raspboras/ killifish (obviously will check all compatibility before doing so).
I am looking at three tanks, all a similar price and wanted input on which to go for, or if ultimately, for someone like me, any of them would be suitable.
The tanks I am looking at:
- fluval roma 125
- juwel rio 125
- aquaone nano 80 - (130)
The aquaone specifically appeals due to the fact the filter and heater are hidden which I think is aesthetically more pleasing, along with the seamless edges, but the juwel rio and fluval seem more common?
Just wondered what people would recommend/ if anyone has any other suggests for a tank under the £300 mark, all in one (filter included), volume between 100 - 130l, ideally filter intergrated/ hidden, and I tend to prefer longer profile aquariums?
Lastly, in regards to my Molly and Guppy, is it ethical to keep a single male guppy and a single male molly in a community tank? If not I either need to get a few more guppy, or return him to the LFS, and I ask regarding the Molly as there is one I have had for 2 years since he was a fry and would love to keep him, but really not sure I want to keep livebearers longterm!
If you've read to the end, thank you for sticking with me!

I currently have
- 3 cory (I know they need to be in a larger group, and I will look to get another 3 one I sort the tank situation out!)
- 1 male guppy - I had 7 but the other 6 died at varying points, not entirely sure why, have not had any fish deaths for months now, potentially my mollies?
- about 6 adult molly and some fry, I do not want to keep molly any longer as they breed so often I am constantly having to take fish back to my LFS to keep tank stock within limits.
- shrimps and snails (so many snails!!)
