Thanks Wilder :) I have been offered an Ozonator to run for a week in the tank. What do you think to those? I was going to run that for a week and see if there were any changes..if not, then wait another few days for the Furanol to come through.. Mrs Biffster - well, I have moved house 3...

HI, me again! I just ordered some Furinol 2 through my LFS but its going to take 2 weeks. I had a think about the whole Furinol killing the good bacteria in the filter thing, and wondered if there was any way that i could somehow put some filter sponge in my sisters tank for the next 2 weeks to...

Hi all just a quick update on this situation! I used Interpet Anti Bacteria meds before going on holiday - and put carbon back in when i got home. No more fish have died (its been about 3 weeks now)...but they are not looking good - in particular, at least 5 out of 20 are very obviously not...

Hi all - thanks for all of your replies, In my opinion, Id rather get several pieces of advice and Im grateful to all of you for that :) Currently the only option that is viable, it to use Interpet meds which I have at hand, so that is what I will be doing tonight. I would consider the Furanol...

Oh, ok so I guess that means the outcome is going to be pretty hideous :( Should i treat with what i have Interpet Internal Bacteria, starting tomorrow or will that be too weak? Im not going until Sunday, so I could have 6 days... Oh, i dont know what to do :(

Thanks Wilder, Ive looked up Furinol 2 and im wondering do people usually bathe the fish in the treated water, for say, 30mins? (in a hospital tank?) - would it be OK to put it in my tank, as i have no hospital? But , like you said, it will wipe out the good bacteria in my filter? What can i...

Thanks so much, both of you for you replies. Ok, there is no slime on their bodies, nor any mucus. Some have pale gills and 1 or 2 look overall quite pale. There are redish areas around their fins, but hard to distinguish between their "normal" colour because they are all albino. There has...

HI all, Id really love some help with this ongoing dilemma - feel like ive done so much and got so very little way with getting them back to health :( Tank size: 170 litres pH: not tested ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 20pmm kH: not tested gH: not tested tank temp: 75degrees Fish Symptoms...

Hello all, this is a great website :) About 5 years ago i rehomed 2 fish tanks containing varied fish from my workplace which closed down. I had NO experience of keeping fish at all, but have learned so much over the years. Im now at the point where I move house quite regularly as im in...
