just got some new fishes and some plants.
3 orange sunshine guppys
no idea what the plants are they had a deal for 4 for £5 so i just picked some, they said there all fine with the standard bulb i have in.
how long do plants take to grow into the sand?
my current stock is 6 cardinals and the 3 new guppys, any suggestions of next fish to get?
bad pics iphone camera.
put some better pics up

im not, i dont no and none yet.
lfs didnt mention any of it, i said i want to add some live plants but only have the standard bulb that came with the tank and he said thats fine. i shall have a read about the stuff you mentioned.
this is my first freshwater tank so im happy with what ive got, they are better than goldfish
edit* i also asked what i need to do to maintain them and he said just trimming.

Utajoker, the Plants on the left of you tank take to the sand fairly quick and get nice and bushy and the Tetras and Neons love it. The grass second from the right spread quickly i had some in mine and it ended up everywhere.
I doubt you will see any real growth from the plants, trimming away brown bit perhaps.
Planted tanks take a bit more work unless you have some of the very hardiest and low maintenance plants going.
thanks for the info, i will keep on top of them
do you add anything to the water to keep them or do they do fine as they are?

Nothing extra to the water i found they grow better with a lot of light.
Depending on my tanks i added some salts to the water along with the usual liquids you add to make the tap water safe.
I changed the standard bulbs in my Jewel tanks for some new ones which had whiter light and they grew faster than the standard yellow tinted lights.
Anyone offer pointers for setting up a tank for some fish? Maybe somethign like Neons/a Shark etc?
I've always had dismal luck setting up fish tanks in the past. We some how even failed with a goldfish?!? We thought we looked after it etc well but it died.
With our previous set-up we even took the water to be sampled to the local aquarium place in Shirley who said the water was fine, but the fish still didn't last long.
something like this?
What type of fish could be put in this and how many?

If you are going to go to pets at home - buy one of their interper fish box tanks. They come in either 64 or 48 ltr tanks. I have two of the 64 ltrs and one of the 48 ltrs and they are dead easy for the novice.
Everything is in the one box and I am sure I got the 64 ltr tanks for under £100.
The smaller the tank the harder it is to keep the fish healthy

Agree with going to your local fish shop, but if the person was looking to buy at pets at home, the tanks I recommended are far superior.
Local fish stores are great, but sometimes they can be hard to get to / have very limited choices. Depends upon where you live I suppose.

Stingray's are terrible. I've got one in a small tank I used for raising fry.
I've got a Fluval 2 Plus in my 80L and it's excellent. I'd probably spend a bit extra on the newer U2 now as it also has biomax. They're available online for under £25.
just a moment ago i was looking at a U2 on the bay and decided to get one as they are not much more, liked the look of the adjustable output. think i will get one of them next week

What type is the old filter?
