Thanks for this, he didn't make the night :( Jo x

Hi everyone, Just a bit of advice needed please. I have two cherry barbs from my original tank which I set up 5 years ago.. they are now in a 55ltr and one has suddenly developed dropsy. No other signs of illness. My question is (please forgive my ignorance) ... the cherry barb is now on...

I think it was an ulcer as HITH pics I've seen look very different, quiet small and more than one. Also from pics HITH lookalike it does disturb the skin/scales so much. Here I've tried the photo bucket thing...

The gourami did die this afternoon. I have a pretty good pic of the hole but no idea how to add on here!! I added some salt with water changes but made no noticeable difference. I've not heard of these hexamita cysts, I guess these are naturally occurring things!? Ill look them up!

Ahhhh I see!! Thank you for the info! Fact sheets on widow tetras are difficult to locate!

Hi guys, I think one of my widow tetras is pregnant. I know they scatter and then eat their own eggs but I'd like to give them a chance if she is. She's been noticeably big for around 7 days. When do you think the best time would be to pop her in a breeding box, I don't want to stress her by...

RIP little fighter.. he truly hung on but died this afternoon. Thanks for your help. Next time I'll hopefully be able to diagnose quicker.

*sigh* 50% water change and a dose of 'anti internal bacteria' (found in pets at home of all places) he's now isolated and pretty much upright, floating on his nose. I really don know what to do now. It seems he's suffering. Not eating today and not going up for air. Really not looking good :(...

None of those are available in my LFS. Most I think are American?

Thank you for your support, and I don't mean to sound ungrateful but I don't think it's a good idea to post advice that you don't agree with. I've done everything I've been advised to in the hope I'd help my fish and it looks like I've wasted six days £10 and he's worse rather than going with...

Oh! I bought that because that was the treatment recommended on the site you posted :( ... I was usuing myxazin up until then. I have plenty of that.. should I start with that again??

I have been using the melafix since Wednesday and the hole is getting worse. The gourami is a sure fighter, still eating but is going to the surface for air all the time and loosing everything through the hole. The hole is bigger now and today there's a tiny but of blood on the wound and his poo...

Just looked and JBL furanol 2 isn't available in the uk :( I'll get the metafix for now and serif amazon have furanol I can ship over!

Thanks for this! I can put him into my smaller tank but it has endler guppys and an apple snail in, will this damage any of them?

No idea then why your snails keep dieing!! What do you think to that shop? I am not totaly convinced by it yet and prefer to go to MA near St Albans. Me either it's a mystery!! Hmmm I initially liked it. It's bright and clean and the guys seem more than happy to help. However.. I have only...
