thanks all for the advice. to update ive gone for interpet anti internal bacteria. there have been no more fish deaths today. again all the fish seem fine and healthy. i will keep monitoring them closley and hope for the best with the treatment. fingers crossed.

sorry yes got that the wrong way around. nope no strange poops.

a month ago i introduced 4 marbled hatchet fish to my community tank. one died a few days later but the others did marvolously well. they seemed to love my tank and would become very excited at feeding time so after three weeks i decided to get some more. last saturday i bought 6 more. in the...

i feed mine 2-4 pellets of new life spectrum betta formula. then once a week he gets a few frozen brine shrimp. once a month he gets live brine shrimp, daphnea or blood worm. he also has one fast day a week usually after live or frozen food. hes currently making a bubble nest in the wisteria. so...

my brother bought his two boys the hudl 2 from tesco. the kids love them. cost about £129 each. i myself bought an un branded 10.1" tablet pc from e bay. theyre called all winner. the spec is pretty good not upto i pad standard but at £70 i have no complaints. love mine to bits. watch netflix on...

one option is to just cut up the sponges (media) from your old filter and stuff it into your new one along with the new sponges. the good bacteria will spread quickly onto the new surfaces helping them establish a new colony. it will save you running two filters at the same time. its called...

I've been using an air driven filter in my 7.5g betta tank for ages but I'm unhappy with it. It doesn't catch enough large particles for my liking. I'm thinking of getting a nano type power filter with spray bar. Can anyone give me any pointers before I buy.

one thing to note about wisteria is that it does need regular trimming but anoyingly it needs trimming from the bottom. which means re planting it each time you do. i learned this through trial and error before confirming with someone in the know. i cut the heads of all mine thinking it would...

my german rams are male and female pair. i havnt had any problems with them at all. my water ph is 7.2. seems to work well and my fish seem more than happy. ive even caught my cardinals spawning more than once when the lights go out. my rams have spawned a couple of times but they seem to get...

water life myxazin is a great treatment for fin rot. you could make the solution in a small container and bathe your betta for a few mins a day. i dosed the tank when i used it to good effect. good luck.
