Hi plz somebody help I have a silver shark (Bala) I have had him for 2 years but last couple of weeks he has swollen eyes witch have turned red water levels are fine is there any med I can get for him?

Your Nitrate reading is a bit strange :crazy: you should always have some Nitrate coz ammonia and Nitrite turn into Nitrate so your Nitrate reading should be 40 or below test your tap water to see the reading staight from tap

Thanks rabbut the filter is only 9 months old so it should be fine. I think a full clean of the filter and all parts in the impeller shall sort it out but bit nervos about impeller coz they are meant to be very fragile right?

Cheers mate easy mistake. I thought you could only swill part of media at any one time

HI guys dos anybody know wy the pump heads on this filter has become less powerfull over time i have today swilled all spongers but still the same

I have a Fluval 205 External Filter for a 180L works perfect

I have now 3 healthy bala sharks which i have had for about 6months and they are growing very fast and they look happy :rolleyes: these 3 are from a diffrant lfs and not from p@h do not buy bala sharks from p@h they are to small and can not handle the stress

Carry on with w/c and do not feed your fish try and do a 40%w/c

I change 25% wait a couple of hours do a test and when you see your levels rising do another 25% w/c

I have the same filter {fluval 205} for a 180l and it is fine. I argee with miss wiggle and you are going throw a mini cycle just change 25% of water daily till your levels are down and you should be fine :good:

I have just bought jeyes ammonia all it says is Ammonium Hydroxide will this work for a cycle?
