A couple of the rosy tetra's have been looking unusally pale. Several of the Neon's appeared to have extremely red gills. All of the fish seem to be eating fine without exception. Thx.

He doesnt look particuarly bloated or his scales raised. When I came down this morning he was a little perkier but his poo was very thin but look normal in colour. My water stats are: ph 7.6 Ammonia - 0ppm Nitrite - 0ppm Nitrate - Between 0 and 5ppm All what I would expect really so Im not...

Hi All, Just after a bit of advice really as my male dwarf gourami has become very withdrawn and is staying more or less continuously in one upper corner of the tank. He stays there almost motionless and seems to stop drawing water through his gills. His movements also seem periodically jerky...

Cheers for the advice.... Heatings turned up, wrapped the tank in blanket and I've been using a plastic bottle filled with hot water to try and keep it from losing too much heat. Hopefully it'll be ok when I get up in the morning and I can get a new heater! Thanks, Iain

Hi All, Im after some advice please.... the heater in my aquarium has unfortunately expired and the shops have closed for the day! Im after some suggestions as to what I can do to stop the temperature dropping too low. I've not encountered this before so Im not really sure where to head with...

Ok.... So I think Im going to go for 2x 24w T5 Compact Fluorescants for my tank... 12" should fit ok. This should give me enough light for the plants etc. (I believe). Im just not debating which type of tubes to go for. I've been looking at the Interpet T5 compact ones but Im a bit unsure...

Hi All, Been watching this thread with interest. The tanks look excellent.... I just wondered if anyone could suggest a supplier for blue LED's in the UK. What sort of viewing angle have people managed to find LED's at? I've found some 4600mcd but they have only got a 15 degree viewing...

Thanks for the advice, Just to clarify... for multiple lamp setups one controller is required for each lamp? I have seen that there's a controller from interpret which is specifically designed to run 2x T5 compacts. Maybe if space permits that'll be a good option? I do currently have plants...

Hi All, I've got a heaxagonal tank from peak aquatics (64L) which Im currently looking at lighting options for. I've currently just got a small filament style light which I use but Im looking at other options which will show off the fish better (tropical community fish) etc. I think the...

Thanks for the advice. Im fairly sure she's not pregnant. I did have a male swordtail until about two weeks ago. He died rather suddenly... no real clues as to why. I did wonder if it would affect their behaviour but she seemed ok. Now she's turned aggressive it may be the most sensible...

Im currently having problems with white spot on both my clown loach. One of them looks particuarly sick, lying down for very long periods on its side and gasping. I've raised the temperature in the tank and have used an anti-white spot treatment but I have a couple of questions.... If the...

Hi, I've got a bit of a problem with a female swordtail and a dwarf gourami. She seems to have become extremely agressive towards the Gourami. So much so the gourami seems to be hiding the majority of the time. The agressiveness doesnt seem to be limited towards the Gouramis either... she's...
