Only the droopy tail thing, other than that they swim and are lively etc and seem fine.

Thanks so much Wilder :) I have two Platy's and three Danios. It's just the Danios that are showing signs of not being 100%

No just their tails look heavy in the water. Will do on the peas. do you know how many peas I should put in? They do look a little chubby .. so I am wondering if they are constipated.

Wilder you are amazing, yes it seems the gauged a little on the dried Tubifex worms. I seem to remember after treating them a little while ago, they seemed odd after. I think I will bin the rest of it. Yes the do look a little bloated. I am guilty of putting maybe a little more than I...

Hello Wilder Yes that's just what it is. It's weird, I put some Tubifex worms in (dried ones) and they went bonkers for them, but since then they looked poorly. Could there be a connection? Is there anything I can do? I so want them to be happy and well. The platy's seem well and happy...

I have a 127 Litre tank which has now been going about 7 weeks. I have 3 Danios, 2 Platy's who have since had two babies that survived. Tonight watching my Danios swim, I see the back halfs of their bodies seem a bit lower in the water. They are still lively and swimming around and have...

Ludwig, that must have been awful :o( not sure about the valve, i have a fluval 3+ in my tank. currently I only have two Platy's and three Danio's, but have discovered two baby fry tonight :o) .. the tank is about 3 1/2 feet in width I think I calculated it to 127 litres. Dcarmor, that...

:huh: I live in an area where we sometimes get powercuts and this has made me worry what if one happens when I am at work. IS there anything I can do if this does happen? Also an electrician is doing some wiring for me whilst I am at work, I don't know yet how long he will need the electric...

I am a sad case, I have been crushing some of the flakes up a bit smaller in the hope that just one might have survived. That's why I am so excited :D Thanks so much for always taking the time to reply, so much appreciated.

:fun: thank you for getting back to me. I wondered if I needed to buy something special for him. He looks to be about 5mm long, nealry transparent and he has a cream coloured blob on him. Didn't see him for long, as I panicked and rushed to get the plants as my Danios even nibble me when...

:hyper: One of my fry made an appearance tonight ... silly thing swam right out in to an uncovered part of my tank. I went to grab some plants I have growing in my second back up tank to float on the top ... when I got back he had disappeared. I am hoping he hasn't been munched by being too...

My Platty took about 7 weeks before she had her fry. She got progressivly bigger and then you could actually see the black dots of their eyes in her lover abdomen. The white dot on her anus was a sign, as the night before this looked quite big, she had them the next day. Good luck, hope you...

My female gave birth a few days ago, unfortunately whilst I was at work.. I've searched but I think my Danios ate all the fry :( They started swimming around each other and courting almost immediately. You can tell because his fin interacts with hers (sorry not good at discussing the sex...

My male is doing the same to the female. He persues her around the tank with his fin clamped down. Have no idea if it is some weird courtship thing although luckily he hasn't nipped her fins. Be interested to see the answer you get to this if someone knows about fish behaviour.

Hi there, Just wanted to say firstly, so sorry to hear about Gerrard and he lost the struggle to live. But fish do pass, even in the wild and maybe there was nothing anyone could have done for him. All I would say to you is, although it's painful losing your much loved fish, remember how...
