I've had a Dwarf Frog for about 6 mths and recently he damaged his leg, in the last week he has stopped eating, sits at the top of the tank and looks increasingly bloated. I was advised to use Melafix for a week but no progress can anyone help! Thanks Geoff

Hi, thanks for all the info. They certainly are great looking fishing, very lively too. I'm definitely going to get some more ;) As YHBEA said they don't seem to eat from the bottom is there any way of containing the bloodworms where the fish can eat them without them dropping to the bottom...

Hi, just bought 3 Halequins and wondered if they liked anything other than usual flake food. I've got some bloodworms left over from my sadly now diceased Cherry Barbs - will the Halequins eat them? While I'm at it is there anything in particular I should know about this type of fish? Cheers...

Hi, I've done the water change. The fish seem rather docile and are hanging around the bottom of the tank a lot - I guess they're stressed out. As for temperature, I've been keeping it at around 27-29 max. Do you suggest I up it? I'm using Protozin to treat the Ich, by the way. Thanx Geoff

Hi Thanx! Would you also suggest that I delay any water replacement until the treatment is finished? Geoff :)

Hi all, I've just bought Protozin to treat my 3 Cherry Barbs for 'White Spot' and started the first days treatment. The instructions say to remove any charcoal before use, would this also apply to activated carbon and should I replace it after the treatment has finished? Many thanks Geoff :)

I'm having my first experience with an aquarium and have just introduced 3 Cherry Barbs so it was nice to find this source of useful information to help me on my way. Many thanks :cool:
