I take it that it came in on a plant. I had what I thought was a dragonfly in where I had my fry a couple of weeks ago. I removed it immediately as well. Thanks for your help.

I have a tank with mollies and swordtails and 3 baby fish. I check my tank all the time but have just found this bug in my tank can anybody identify it please. Would also like some info on what to do. I have removed it.

My balloon Molly died today while I was at work. It appeared almost as if she had a large blister around her vent area. She was still very swollen even though she had not eaten for a good few days. I do not know what to do with them, they all seem to be fine just now, just the one with a bit of...

I do have anti internal bacteria, interpet No 9. It has bronopol, formaldehyde, and benzalkonium in it, incase anyone is not in the UK. That was what I used a couple of weeks ago. Sorry for the confusion, I have been using the stuff as directed, just doing an awful lot of stuff at the moment...

It might be internal bacteria that I am treating for but I will have to check the bottle when I get home. I checked symptoms and what to buy on here before I bought it. As I said I will check tonight and if needed buy the correct stuff tomorrow when I am in town. The fish with the damaged tail...

They come up for food but look at it then ignore it. Don't wobble. They become a bit unsteady, want to be alone, seem to faint, going nose down, or on side then recovering. She is not at this stage, I watch my fish carefully every day and she only stopped eating yesterday. I was intending...

Hi, I have a 48ltr tank with 3 plants. I have 2 ballon mollies and 5 various Mollie's. I have had a few fish die and have mostly replaced them. I bought a water testing kit, not strips, and all levels were very good apart from nitrate at around 40. I have 3 plants. The fish seem to be eating...
