Double post, and WHY do you have to quote the whole post in the second one??
It has probably already started multiplying.
Get rid if you want to slow down the process
i shall have to borrow a clown loach if they do
Most Botia type loach will do the job, and gives you the scope for more perminant residence if the clown is not suitable
I have taken a lot of information, and have a basic business plan. Just waiting till the time is right, and I have everything in place. Not for a few years though I reckon! Its a long term project
Nice one mate. If youre interested in investment let me know. Im always looking to invest in things in which I have a passion for, where a sound business plan is in place
Noted
Cheers!
Your tank is WAAAAYYY too small for goldfish
Oh, ignore online calculators, and things like that. Read up on caresheets for each particular fish you want to keep. (From many different sources)
It is standard practise to do this before buying any fish.

Euro, looks like they are settling in well. Pretty fish
I added some bits from a moss ball into my work tank today. My Geophagus female in my main tank didnt like it, as it kept rolling into the area she was shifting the sand from. She took it to bits, so I have removed all the bits, and tried to re-shape them into new balls. Some of the larger bits look like they might do ok
The young shrimp are loving them, and grazing over them at the moment. Time will tell if they re-form into ball shapes

Quick updated pic of my nano tank.
Now with 30ish baby shrimp. I lost all the elderly adults, and now have a load of shrimplets. Might have to give some away at this rate!
15 litres? 20 quid at the most I reckon.
Nice fantails.
The edge is 23 litres right? Fantails need 100+ liters per fish, and 2-3 feet of swimming area minimum. You might want to re-think that stock, or perhaps buy 150ish litre tank to replace it with to keep them comfy!
An edge tank is probably best left to small tropical inhabitants, or perhaps a shirmp tank
More light, and high intensity light.
You need to add ferts and CO2 for decent growth for all but the hardiest of plants.

Read that page, and monitor the water quality, and make sure the filter is properly cycled.
Thick substrate.
Suckers on the floor under substrate tied to plant via thin fishing line
Small strip metal weights
Secure plants to other items (bogwood/decor/etc)
Also make sure you remove the spongy bit, as it contains a load of nutrients/additives that can cause an algea bloom in the tank!
It's far from ideal, you will be reducing the efficiency of the filter, and killing off (at least some) good bacteria each night.
Dont buy slate from the aquatics shops, get it straight from graden centre, its a third of the price, and loads to choose from!
I have been using slate from garden centres for years, even with picky fish, never had any problems
As with any rocks, wash and scrub them. I tend to pour boiling water over them or bathe them in it when new, mainly to kill bugs, and also to help clean off any dust/etc.
Always stood me in good stead
Never have to clean my sand. I have good water flow across the floor of the tank, and also have two Geophagus in there to keep it moving over all the time.
Although, I am fairly certain that just the water flow is sufficient
Depending on the size of the tank, some loaches or corys might be suitable.
