I have had to take a video as they are too fast for pictures. I've noticed 2 do a white poop. I tried to increase the oxygen flow so it's a bit violent right now. I have been putting sponge in the filter to quite it down as it's really loud. Am I okay to leave the filter media in? And the...

I have word processing difficulties so I hope that I read it right. I only treated once with it and I do my water changes monthly as it says on the filter pack but I changed them to more frequently. https://gyazo.com/da08885964097ec7e7c8eb42a5203407...

The tank is not new I've had it for about 8 months now and the fish a little over a year, I dont know how old she was when I got her. Ammonia is 0, nitrite is 0 and nitrate is 5ppm. My tank is a 19l with 3 platies left now. And I haven't done anything new. I just followed the advice it gave on...

So another emergency occurred, I haven't put this post in emergencies because I'm sure other people need help more than me. In the time between my last thread and this one I have treated my main tank with the disease safe and done fortnightly 20% water changes. Now another of my fish has...

Done, thanks for all your help. RIP Susan.

Hi everyone thanks for helping. Last night I moved her into the other more permanent tank treated with tap safe and safe start. I tested the water and it was good. Straight away she sank to the bottom but then started swimming diagonal. I was up most the night observing her but I eventually fell...

Alright thanks for the help, I will pick up some de-worming treatment today. She is eating and acting normal still its just the back problem.

The tank temperature at the moment it 25c (they're varitus platys so it should be different from platys I believe) but it could have risen since England has had a heatwave recently. I feed them once a day and give them about as much they'll eat within a minute. I have been away on holiday so...

I've compared some pictures I have of her attached below, the first one was from when I had her for about 10 months the second is from now. https://gyazo.com/ba440b523a1aff66a8cbda96f154fa55

Thanks for the reply, is this definitely an infection? Can it be caused by old age or the injury? Shes about 2 years now + the time she was at the fish shop. The other fish are fine and it doesn't look like they are infected. I'm going to set up another thank to keep the injured fish in but I...

She is surving just looks a bit lonely, how long would you suggest leaving her separated? And yes the tank is small because it's my sisters tank for one snail. I wasnt really prepared for having an emergency like this.

Long time no see! My fish tank has been doing beautify and I have needed no help until now. So one of my fish had her tail stuck around the filter tube (picture below) about 2 weeks ago so I freed her and she was fine afterwards. She then has got it stuck again sunday night (I have now built a...

I understand, but if you change your mind you don’t need a separate tank https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073P47WBL/?tag=< that’s the breeder tank I had it just helps separate them, they’re in the same water so no need for an extra filter. I may have worded it wrong by saying tank but I didn’t know...

You can usually tell the gender when it’s around 2 months by looking at the bottom fin (fan for female, pointy for male) my fry has only just got its base colours at 6 months old and is starting to get some markings. It’s also best to get a breeder tank for it till it’s big enough not to be...

^ Snails can help clear this up by eating it.
