My mum and Dad are in egypt, and i was like cool i can sort her tank out, as it looks ####

Well, fish with clamped fins, dead fish, fish with lumps, snail infestation, fungus like growths

no offense pheonix, but what a cow...

leaving the fish in that sort of a state, how long has it been since she done a water change or anything?

at least it you show her how it should be kept she may take more time in sorting her tank instead of other things

thanks

paul

maybe 2 months ago??

coz she knows better

Im suprised her male Betta is ok

You need anti internal bacteria med by interpet and pimafix.

Pimafix works on internal and external, so its doing the trick

her fish have perked up alot this morning

once ive washed my motorbike im going to crack on with her tank me thinks

Ok so today I admitted defeat with the snails

Soooo, i went out and bought a new tank for her, a 58litre tank, thats stunning, it has a blue backing, and behind that sits the heater, and the filter, so when u look into the tank, its just fish and plants

Also theres 3 set of lights, with blue leds, a very flash tank indeed

got new sand, and new silk plants and ornaments

Needless to say I spent a fortune today, I hope she appreciates it

At present, the old tank is running empty, with nothing in but water, and running the snail treatment to kill the eggs

Gosh im a good daughter

are you going to snag the old tank for a spawn tank then? hehe

hell nooo lol

i dont like the way the tank works, so she can do what ever she likes with it lol

If we adopt you Phoe....you could do that for us too

lolol netty u nutter

My poor bank account lol, my card is screaming "put me awayyyy" lol

Just hope she likes it, severl fish have died (in the old tank) but ive salted this tank now, and added a strong internal bacteria, finrot and fungus treatment to the tank, which is a 3 day treatment, so fingers crossed

Im having the cycle the tank with the fish in, couldnt use her media as it is riddled with snails and eggs( and im not using my media)

so just gotta keep on top of water changes now, I hope her male CT gets thru all this bloody treatment

Sounds like you've got a big job on your hands with that but I'm sure she'll love it when she gets back

heres the new tank, filter and heater is behind the blue backing

That looks great Phoe....you've done a really good job with it....well done

how cool is it tho with the filter and heater all hidden away!! i love it lol and i want it hehe

aww ty netty, its taken me most of the day to get both tanks sorted, im knackered and ive still got to do the housework lol, just not enough hours in the day

and to top it off, my cj has gone home now, wont see him for agesss now tut

New tank looks lovely did you take a before pic so you can show her a comparison, shame on her

she knows the state of her old tank, its sat in the kitchen running empty, only with her bogwood in so the treatment can kill the snails off and their eggs

heres the tank now all stripped down

Hey EBAY that! You can make a bit back on your spend on the new one lol

nah its hers, and she can do with it what she wants, plus its running a treatment at the mo to make sure all snail eggs are killed

so when she gets back she can either use it or sell it, im not fussed about money, its not important to me, making her smile and her fish happy is more important lol

fingers crossed she likes it lol

Where did you get the new tank from and how much its gorgeous would look fab in my kitchen for my boys, especially as its blue!

You have done a really good job I bet you really enjoyed doing it I love setting up new tanks!!

thank tank is £100 quid, 58litres, from maidenhead aquatics and comes with 2 sets of t4 lighting, and blue leds, so on the top of the lid there are 3 switches to control each one

so in the eve u cud have one t4 on and the leds, or just the leds lol

its cool, and whats better is it comes with 150w heater that sits behind the blue backing, and the filter does too, its stunning

but u have to buy all the other stuff like sand, plants etc seperately
