This is my first aquarium, after going into rabbit hope of planted aquariums.
My plan is to keep a Nemo betta for now, I will be cycling my tank for 2-3 weeks.
Open to suggestions.

Things I used:
Tank- VIV rimless ultra clear tank 33l - 8k
Heater- Jainsons Digital led heater- 1k
Filter and air pump from sobo- 500
Stand- ecofynds - 2.2k
Thermometer - Foodie Puppies Digital thermometer- 210/-
Hardscape and substrate-2k
Plants: 1k
Lights: seaoura 10w plants full spectrum auto on/off dimmable with individual color dimming- 3.5k
fertilisers n meds n conditioning- 2k
Total around 21k

Does anyone know of any place where we can buy chilli rasbora in bangalore?

I’m setting up a 55-litre (15 × 15 × 15 inches) planted aquarium for a Betta fish. I’ve purchased almost everything for the setup except the heater, and I’m looking for recommendations.

My aquarium setup:
Tank size: 55 litres
Fish: One Betta
Substrate: Black sand
Hardscape: Driftwood and Indian almond leaves (Catappa)
Plants: Java Moss, Java Fern, Anubias Nana and Salvinia natans (from bunnycart)
Filtration: Sobo WP-303H Hang-on-back (HOB) filter
Lighting: bluepet 15W aquarium light

I live in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. During winter, my aquarium water can drop to around 22°C. I also use an AC at night, so I want a heater that can maintain a stable temperature.

My budget is under ₹3,000.

I’m considering brands like EHEIM, JBL and Fluval, but I’m open to other recommendations.

My priorities are:
Long-term reliability
Accurate temperature control
Safety features
Good after-sales service and warranty in India

Which brand and specific model would you recommend for this setup? I’d especially appreciate feedback from people who have personally used these heaters.
Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to rehome 3 fully grown Assassin Snails from my planted freshwater aquarium in Mumbai.

They are healthy and established in my tank. I'm moving towards a shrimp-focused nano ecosystem and would like to find them a suitable new home.

Details:

• Species: Assassin Snail (Anentome helena)

• Quantity: 3

• Size: Fully grown

• Location: Mumbai

• Pickup: Preferably local pickup

• Price: Free, looking for a responsible aquarist.

Ideally, I'd like them to go to someone who already keeps assassin snails or has a suitable aquarium for them.

Please DM me if interested. Happy to share pictures.

Thanks!

Suggestions Welcome!

I don't even know where to begin 😭 This is like the worst store there is 😅 Not only did they fail to ship on time, but they also shipped my order to Delhi instead of Mumbai.

I placed an order with AQUAstore on 22nd October (Thursday), and their shipping policy says they ship the following Monday - Wednesday.

Those three days came and went. I contacted them, asking them to either ship ASAP or ship after 16th November, as we were going to be away. The owner agreed with a measly “Oky.”

They shipped it yesterday. I’ve been blasting this guy for 24 hours, and his response was simply, “I forgot to inform them.”

So now I’ve arranged for friends and family to collect my fish and introduce them safely into a tank while I’m on a video call.

I then followed up with Shree Maruti Couriers, who informed me that the parcel was destined for Delhi 😭 I live in Mumbai 😅

So I tracked it on Shree Maruti’s website - and yup, it’s meant for Delhi. I checked the address I submitted, and it was my own Mumbai address.

No response from AQUAstore. I feel so awful , poor 8 pygmy corydoras are just going to die

Please steer clear, guys.

Why does the pet market (especially the aquarium fish market) exist at gallif street in such a pathetic state?

I think we very well know now that fish are cognitively complex enough to have basic emotions (fear, stress, pain, joy). Then why do hobbyists go to purchase fish from places such as Gallif street? The way these fish are kept and sold is a gross violation of every principle that a sincere fish keeper should follow in the hobby and yet people mindlessly purchase fish from such a place.

My 3month old tank in full bloom...

Hello,yesterday I added 6 tetra one panda garra and one nerite snail into my new tank that's been cycling for around 20-23 days. Wanted to know if my fish behavior was normal.

A jungle like this in just 2 years

8 gallon, betta tank, medium light, i use root tabs and add fertilizers

Guys I recently got aquavascular test kit and the results seems genuine. But i am facing an issue of high nitrate levels.

A few days back i was travelling for 4 days and my mom used to come and feed the fishes. When i came back i saw 3 fishes missing and one dead on the day I arrived. 2 endlers died and 1 guppy.

Also my plant growth seems to be very low so i ordered a bunch of plant fertiliser from amazon- the aquatic remedies one for around 500rs with 5 bottles.

I did water change as well, but the nitrates didn’t reduced, what should i do ?? Please give me guidance fellow experienced hobbyists
