From process of elimination, two potentials. My new Eheim heater I’ve had for a month now was not running efficiently and turns out after getting a quality thermometer to check this, the tank was at 21c for awhile, no matter how high up I turn it. I have it dialed at 30c and still only has the...

Ah, very rough lesson learned if that is indeed the case. Hopefully they’ll be no more over the next few days/week. If there is I unfortunately see this entire tank crashing which will be such a shame.

Thanks. Yeh I’ve been checking the fish for any signs of parasites or disease. Nothing that I can see apart from a tiny black speck that seems to protruding out of one of the gills of the decease rainbows, so not sure what that is, but to have no other sign of any disease on fins/gils it does...

Sure, hopefully the water testing kit arrives soon and I can test more accurately and test for ammonia. But from just the small test strips I have the ph 7. Kh 80. Gh 120. Nitrite 0. Nitrate 20. I always use seachems declorinator on water changes. Tank has been set up for 2 1/2 years after a...

what is happening! Overnight 4 of my rainbow fish, two tetras an rasbora a Cory and my lovely angelfish have died. I have no idea what has happened or why. I’ve never seen anything like this or ever had this problem. One of the rainbows was at the surface a lot last night, so I quarantined it...

Thankyou for the super detailed and informative reply! i used to use excel and my plant growth was good. I have had a battle this past year with my tank, plants dying, fish dying, water quality etc due to my poor health and overall tank neglect when it was being looked after by family. Aswell...

I don’t inject any co2 to my tank and stopped using liquid carbon as a lot of reading has led me to believe it’s not that safe, is mainly an algaecide and is actually doing very little for co2. So now I’m wondering if my tank is getting enough co2 from surface movement or if there’s something I...

Thanks guys, from your answers I believe it’s GSA. It ajar sans does not remove easily, doesn’t t have the smell or consistency of cyno , and isn’t furry like bba. I will try reduce lighting for awhile and see if that helps

Hey guys, a while back I had a huge bba breakout, which I managed to tackle the majority of it, for the most part, but there’s still remnants of what I assume is the on my plants. Particularly the anubias and buce where its choking the leaves and stopping growth. It doesn’t seem to want to rub...

Hey guys, one of my pearl gouramis I’ve had for a couple years now seems to have become really unwell the past few weeks. Losing colours, body shape, fins and tail is now completely drooping and doesn’t seem to have any control over it. watched it and it’s still eating, although spending a lot...
