Well I've just got a blue sponge, so do I leave this in?

I've just bought it. How do I know if I have carbon or zeolite filter media? Thanks

Thanks I'm in the UK Leeds

Which do you reccomend and what should I do when I have it? How did he get this?

Hi there, everything was going alright until this morning I noticed that my yello fish has suddenly developed a red line all around the edge of his tail. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks

Nah I didn't see anything like that

It doesn't look like they're gasping, if they were would their mouths constantly be opening? They seem to be opening them around once every 5 seconds or so. I re-did the test because when I wrote that it had been left out for a while and the colours had bled like they do. The reading on the...

I now have 2 guppies in a 10 gallon tank 0 Ammonia PH Around 7 Nitrate 0 Nitrite 5 My filter doesn't have any way of changing the aeration!

The temperature is about 27 degrees centigrade All the snails seem to be alive The fish are still at the top, what can I do?

No I checked him afterwards and he seemed fine, normal size and no shreds or rips at all. I really don't know what to make of it. I only have 2 left and now they seems to be swimming towards the top! What can I do? Could it be anything to do with the temperature, that seems to have gone up...

I never saw any, all i noticed was that the one today when fed was swimming with his mouth kind of out of the water for about 20 seconds. Thats all i can come up with :/

Around an hour ago I fed my fish, the usual amount, then around half an hour later I find that one of my guppies is lying upside down dead in my tank. There's not a mark on him and he seemed to be fine, what could've caused this?! I have done all the relevant tests and all my levels are fine...

The average temp it about 24C, yes I have a heater. I only got the guppies on Friday! I didn't do a test for ammonia, because another one of my fish stores told me that this wasn't important, as long as the filter was left on and i put dechlorinator in etc and left it for a week, it should be...

I was going to, but the quality is so poor that the fish just look like a blur. It was just something that I was going to do overnight, hopefully tomorrow I will buy a tunnel tomorrow from my LPS. Also I did originally have three guppies, but one died this morning. On the day I bought them...

there are 2 males, all my mugs are glazed! Is there an alternative you can think of. Also, I'm worried that this same bully might have ich, but am not certain. He does have whitish spots on his upper body, but they also look silver; is there a way that I can be sure? I have only had him 2...
