How does the light effect treatment ?

First time my fish have ever caught this in 10 years so this is a heart breaking learning experience. I have 2 Shubunkans, Plec, Weither loach, 2 snails... I have been treating with interpet Methylene Blue for 4 days but so far things are just getting worse. The fish that was infected first is...

I've had mine a few days now and also had the abismel bubble count was around 8 bubbles a min with room about 20 c. Give this a try submerge the canister with contents in a bucket of water with some pipe coming out the top. Blow down the pipe as hard as you can to make sure your tightening the...

I have the dreaded Goldfish in my tank and they like to eat leafy plants. So is there any plants I can buy as a distraction that will out grow them munching it while also providing cover for smaller slow growing leafy plants ? I know these three are fast growers but do fish like to eat these ...

*quickly rips out the cuttlebone* Thx Jesse, Ill keep doing 10 - 20% water change for the next 2 days then ill test it again would that be ok ? I dont wanna shock the fish too much.

I added some cuttlebone to the tank about a month ago mainly for the snails in the tank so their shells don't fall to bits. I'm talking about a 2 by 2 inch piece, surely that cant be the cause ? In terms of stones I've got some stones from the beach years ago but on top of those I've added a...

First time I have ever tested the GH levels but the solution took 24 drops before turning blue which comes out as a scary 24 * 20 = 480ppm. PH is around 6.6 - 6.7 KH is about 3.5 - 4.0. My tap waters GH is around 4 - 5 80-100ppm so I must be doing something extremely wrong or its built up over...

Thanks all for all the advice have been extremely helpful. Just letting you know I've got the Co2 Gen setup but I'm gonna keep the airstone on at nights till I can make sure its stable enough not to suffocate the fish. Fish I have are quite hardy and I keep the tank well maintained so have...

Thanks for the advice with those 2 plants, I've strapped both now to rocks so see how they go. So your telling me Co2 would give no benefit at all ? I thought the airstone would strip out all the Co2 made by the fish ? In the tank at the moment bit different to the picture above but I have...

Well they not like squished into the tank or anything they have plenty of room but I definitely wouldn't add more fish at this stage would stress them out too much. I'd love to see the tank growing with plenty of natural cover for the plecs/shrimp so I can get rid of them horrible plastic...

Yeah cheapest seems to be around £18 which I guess its quite expensive for what it is but I guess you only ever buy the one. My tank is about 35 by 19 inch tank with about 8 - 10 well rooted plants but most seem to be at a stand off really with no growth at all while others like this onion...

Just wondering if anyone knows any reliable sources of these I tried a few local pet shops but they havnt even heard of these =/. Was hoping to pay something like £15 with postage for one and then do some home brewage :). So anyone know any websites that sell these in the UK ? Thanks for any...
