Not at all thanks for your help! I change the white pads weekly at the top of the filter as instructed by juwel. And I don't deep clean my sand just hover the gravel vac over it to suck up debris as the white pads collect most dirt in the tank. I have the strip tests so will just be binning them...

It's a 180 litre tank and I normally do about a 25% water change adding de chlorinator & using my gravel vac etc Yes I clean my filter well I change pads regularly (it's a juwel tank) and I have took apart my power head a few times & cleaned it. Nothing new added and my tank has been running...

Ah sorry it wasn't a dead fish after all as I've counted 8 X-ray tetras so I must have miscounted as I used to have 9 but lost one a while ago. Done a water change yesterday and no change in the fish :(

Water parameters seemed ok, not sure about the fish only noticed it today - pretty sure I seen an eye as I thought it was just some mushed sinking pellets at first. Could that be the reason? :s

Hi everyone I really need some advice/suggestions as to what's going on in my tank please! It all started when I purchased black Venezuelan cories - they caught fin rot and although I treated them they all eventually died and then my bronze cories became ill. Luckily I haven't lost any of them...

Thanks for your reply! Still unsure on whether to get more or not.. Such a dilemma !

My lights are normally on from about 9ish till 6,7 pm

How do you grow algae? :s

I have a 180 litre tank and have 8 bronze cories and 1 black Venezuelan Cory in it (the others died). Feeling a bit guilty and sorry for the Venezuelan and was wanting to get a few more buddies for him but would that be too many for my tank? Have attached a pic of my tank. Currently have 2...

Yeah you can as long as your tank is big enough :)

Ok I'll try that! :) can't imagine the fish giving up and leaving the food alone until they ate it all but if yours do then I'm sure mines will too, thanks!

Hey everyone, just a quick question for suggestions on what to feed my zebra snail. No algae on the tank as it is fairly new ish and whenever I try to drop in a algae wafer he doesn't bother with it and my fish all eat them (even at night - greedy things). Any ideas as to what to give him as...

I got him out stimo :) opened up the lid this morning and he was sat on the wool pad at the top so I quickly blocked off his normal exit through the hole down into where the heater is & scooped him up n put him back in the tank! Blocked the bottom of the filter with my sand now so hopefully...

Love that photobomb picture lol. Made me laugh so much, so cute. I have a koi angelfish but am a bit worried about getting another one as I've read your meant to have a group so they pair off by choosing their partner rather than sticking them with someone :s & I only have a 180litre tank so not...
