yes the aeration was increased with the air stone. but surely 6 plants and some water movement would be enough anyway. The gourami died yesterday btw. The caes are fine atm, in 6 months im getting a 25 gallon tank at my new house so they will go there. Any idea what is causing these deaths?

Tank size: 12UK gallon pH: 8.0 ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 40 kH: na - but i think a bit on the hard side gH: na tank temp: 25oC Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): All my fish are dying unexplainably - sort of. Did have finrot, but...

What other fish do you have in there? Because 2 have now died, you could be right about the 'bad batch' theory - if the other fish are acting completely fine. If the water is turning a bit cloudy, it's prob just due to the larger water changes stirring up muck, unless you have added any meds...

ok lol: current situation: angel, 2 loaches, platy, 4 guppies in big tank. 2 guppies had tails nipped but both are almost healthy again, after treatment of melafix for 3 days with 25% water changes every day along with the redosing of melafix. The nipper was a male dwarf gourami, who has been...

ok, yeah he still acts fine, and i have caes in there with him, but both are only 6 months old

dunno if this may be of any help to you, but is a pic of mine let me know if this is what you have

i have a 1 inch diameter pump but since i got a larger tank i need a bigger end suction thing to get it all cleaned better. can i just add a filter end cone type thing to the end of my existing one that is removeable and put a rubber strip around the 1 inch end to seal it. i'd like it...

I would like to know the answer to this too - i think i have the same thing - just a bit of blood on one side at the joint between body and fin. any help appreciated in fact, i have even the same tank! the nitrates i'm sure you'd need to check, but mine are only 25 ish, which shouldnt be a problem

yeah they are females. one is sulking about a lot tho even more. hopefully she'll be ok tho. Do i need to do water changes every day and re dose with the water change in the appropriate amount, or do i just leave it, as thats what the instructions say for 7 days, then do a water change and re...

sorry didn't mean to offend anyone! they have been separated now and treated with anti fungus and finrot antibiotics - even though one really doesn'y look happy there when she was before let you know if its succesful! thanks for the help btw oh and the reddy one does have ventrals, they are...

i suggest cutting down on the food, what you think is enough is probably too much. also i think peas work as someone said, but in my experience there is little evidence, and a lot of fish turn their noses up at peas

to be honest, you will often get some fish who will die soon after addition to a tank. Correct me if i'm wrong, ppl, but I think this is due to stress during transit from the shop to the new home To reduce fish loss in a new aquarium i suggest trying to keep the bag warmer on the way to the new...

only 2 bettas with 4 guppies, there were 4 a short while ago though and they get along fine - i have had them for over a year and both are now pretty much adults and 2 guppies are a little ripped - but theyre so fast you cant get a good pic ! 1 has had his split improved remarkably since...

i have 2 in my bedroom, one by the computer and one in the hall
