Fish seem happier now and less eratic behaviour. Still rubbing on rocks a little but not as much as they were and there arent as many white spots. When can I turn temp back down?

Not sure what you mean by extra air? To be honest i think its too late as they dont look well at all. Im on day 2 of treatment.

They seem to not be able to swim properly. Think ill do a gravel clean now but wasnt sure whether it would make fish worse or not?

I have increased the temp to 30 and also began treating with protozin but fish are stil deteriating. The 3 clown loaches have pink at the bases of their side fins & dont seem to be very active. Worried.... what should i do?

OK thanks for that will defo invest in one of those i think. Temp now turned up, treatment in progress & test on way. Now just gotta cross my fingers :) What size would you say is a good size for an inccubation/hospital tank? Do you leave this running with no fish in just incase needed?

Yes im aware i will need to rehome them soon, they are babies at moment so will be fine for the short term but im looking into getting a larger tank sorted for them. How much do the kits cost? I will buy one if not too expensive.

I dont actually have the stuff to test the water I didnt know what to get! .... please dont shout!! lol Its approx 20 gallon tank. Do I need to do a 50% water change & "hoover" the gravel, i have read that somewhere? Have just turned temp up to 30 :good: I already have some protozin, will...

Hiya, I got some new fish yesterday: 3 Clown Loaches 3 Guppies 6 Neon Tetras Ive noticed on the 3 clown loaches there are white spots all over their body and they are scratching on the rocks which indicates a parasite infection doesnt it? I also woke this morning to find a dead guppy and a...

Cheers for the recommendation KathyM, I've contacted Em! Jo x

At least that way I could also keep my clown loach and get him some friends! YEY im all excited now! Shame I dont have the cash til new year but have the room!

Im planning on getting a bigger tank in Jan when I get paid from a recent job ive been doing. Plan to spend £400 - £500 for a good setup and also will be getting someone to set up the tank for me correctly etc. What size would you recommend I get and what kind of setup could I get for that...

Do you think that could be why Mr Plec (Common Plec) and this one are chasing each other around and getting agressive? This is the main reason I need rid of one of them and this one (Gibby) has been with me since the start of the tank so im afraid he wins, hence me getting rid of Mr Plec lol :/...

I dont suppose you could tell me what type my other Pleco is? Cheers :)

Ahh thanks for that!

Very interesting post, im sure that will help many people including me! Cheers :)
