If it is the same leechy things i had, they wont harm your fish, or your snails they're just unsightly. Just give your gravel a good clean each water change and cut down on how much you're feeding. If there is no food for them to eat they can't survive. I had them in my 90litre set up with...

Or you can upload your photos to a photo sharing website like photo bucket or imgur and share the link in your thread. I found this easier, photo resizing is something i havent quite mastered yet lol!!

It sounds like the same little horrors I had in my tank a while ago. I don't think they'd harmful, just a case of over feeding. It has more than likely came from your snail and if there is plenty of food for them they will multiply, quickly. To get rid of mine, I upped my weekly water changes...

Some fab info there, thanks lyra. After reading that I think I can safely say my problem has likely arisen from being rather neglectful of my poor tank as of late, lights being on too long, weekly water changes becoming 3-4 weekly water changes and no daily c02 boost. *hangs head in shame*...

OK so I have a, IMO, nice healthy well established tank, heavily planted which is home to 10 harlequins, 12 guppies, 6 platties, 8 bentosi, white tip tetras, 2 GBR's, 3 khuli loaches, 7 corydoras, false julii and sterbai and one little albino bn. I also have a host of Malaysian trumpet snails...

How are you getting on RCA?? I had a similar problem with my group of false julii, one started darting about, floating very unsteady, unfortunately we lost him. Then it was as if one by one they all started doing the same thing. Out of a group of six, I had three left when I started treatment...

I did this around 12 months ago. I had another tank in which to temporarily house my fish until the deed was done so to speak. I personally wouldn't attempt without another temp tank as I can imagine it being very disruptive trying to change substrate while still holding fish, especially discus...

Thanks guys. I'll try separating them for a few weeks and reintroducing later, she seems to tolerate him but only just. Hopefully this will work. Fingers crossed! And Akasha I totally agree, my two have very strong personalities. They're fab little fish to keep and certainly are little...

Hi guys, its been quite some time since I last posted on here. My tank has been coming along just fine until just recently... I have a beautiful pair of German blue rams who have spawned three times now, but unfortuntley have never got past the egg stage. Their first spawn I stupidly mistook...

Hahaha, thanks nick. They seem OK today, I never imagined they'd breed so didn't even think to keep a look out for their behaviour! In hindsight, it was fairly obvious. Lesson learned, hopefully they will have another go and we will have little German blue babies!

Hi all, I haven't been on here in a while, I apologise but unfortunately maternity leave doesn't last long! Lol Anyway my tank has been going great for a while now, no problems, no deaths, expected or unexpected (touch wood now I've said that!) But tonight during my routine weekly water change...

OK so results this morning My ph is around 6.8-7 NitrIte, 0ppm NitrAte, 10ppm Ammonia, 0.5ppm Using the freshwater master kit.

Not the best of pics, but this is one of the original killies, the fry are just starting to colour up. I'll get some pics of those tomorrow, lights out now :P http://imgur.com/464BaxN

Apart from the week we were away yes. I think the substrate/media gave it a big boost! And I know the water wasn't going to be much use, but the tanks are next to each other, so was easier during water change just to fire it in the smaller tank lol. Readings have been pretty consistent the...

So I had the 90l ready to set up for a lovely Betta and a group of schooling fish, but had a change of plan. As some of you may know I had a mystery fish in my tiny 7l hospital tank. Well it turns out I have 7. And they are killies. They are now around 2cm and are out growing the little 7l...
