Hey all thanks for your time, I have a 25 gallon tank with appropriately 15 Guppies, 4 Mollies, 2 baby Plecos, 8 Guppies (1 month old) and 5 (3 day old) fry in a breading tank. I used to do regular water tests at my pet store but stopped after they were returning as perfect each time, now I...

URGENT: She's really looking poorly now, shes starting to loose all her scale colouring on one size and is turning a very dirty shade of white on her left side?

I've just had my water tested today by the API kit and the Ammonia levels were 0, pH levels were 7.2 and nitrites/nitrates were perfect (he didn't tell me the level). I've medicated the entire tank with anti fungus and finrot as per the staffs' instructions at the pet shop but here is the fish...

I totally forgot the readings, the professional at the pet shop advised me they were totally normal though that's all I can remember. I will get a water test done tomorrow for safe keepings. What water testing kit would you advise?

I get my water tested regularly at the pet shop with those water testing kits, last time I checked (1 week ago) they were as follows; Ammonia: 0 Nitrites/Nitrates: Normal pH Level: 7.4

Thanks for your time guys, Basically one of my guppies contracted this issue about two weeks ago and unfortunately died as a result of it. The guppy appears to have a white mark across its belly from its left fin right up to the top of its body. Now the last time this happened my local pet...

I've just bought a Interpet PF3 filter for my 25 gallon community tank and my god it's good, you can pick them up from Amazon for £25 including postage. Mine is super quiet and the flow is as powerful as hell! Well worth the money and supports up to 230L tanks.

Just feed them standard flake food ground up. When I mean ground up I'm talking about so much so the stuff looks like powder and sprinkle about a grain of rice worth in each day and they will come up and peck it. Don't worry if they aren't so hungry for the first day though since they still...

Just out of curiosity at what rate did your fry grow, also what was the tank temperature and what did you feed them and how often?

Hey all, I have been following the guidance from a few of the community members on a prior thread to do daily 10-15% water changes (dechlorinated of-course) to the tank and this has been working well however I have been having a serious issue that has just started over the past three days...

Thank you for such detailed replies! KrystaK, I would think that using the filter media from the old filter would be a great idea but unfortunately I don't think they are compatible size wise. Thanks for your suggestion on the salt too - I don't think I'm going to add any then if this is the...

Thanks for your time, I currently have a perfect setup of a 28L AquaOne 320 but after one of my guppies giving birth to nine young I decided I should upgrade now before I encounter an overstocking issue. I have purchased a 25 Gallon tank you can see below: http://i49.tinypic.com/5cj37s.jpg I...

I purchased a test kit and have been doing regular 25% water changes and the levels according to the kit are of perfect levels. On another note - my guppy had 8 healthy fry Edit: Also to update everyone concerned about space issues, I've purchased a 25 gallon tank, does anyone have some...

I'm purchasing a new tank in about a weeks time that's about 3x the size of my AquaOne so raising the fry shouldn't be an issue - with regards to the male hanging around he has became more active since changing a portion of the water thanks for the advice! Just curious now with the pregnant...

I've changed the water today (25%) and replaced the water with fresh dechlorinated water that I had matched the identical tank temperature with (28C). Should I be changing the water weekly now of about 25%? Also another question is when should I go about adding my females to the breading tank...
