I had two once, only for about 2 days though. They caught a disease at the LFS (we didn't realise), so when we brought them home they spread it and killed 10+ fish. D';. Including the amazing bristlenose, toothbrush.

Just thought you may be interested, the tank now has: -2 Silver dollars -2 Parrot fish -2 Clown loaches -1 Reed fish (<3) -1 Sailfin Pleco -1 Ornate Snakefish!

Definitely my Siamese upside-downcatfish. It bit the tail clean off my tiger barb. (and brought a disease into the tank killing all the rest ((well except two, and as a matter of fact they're thriving with their new tankmates))

Well about a month ago, I bought a new tank to move the survivors into, which have settled in well along with their new tankmates. And we then completely started again with the larger tank, cleaning it down, fitting an undergravel filter etc. It is now reastablishing, so I thought, 'whilst I...

I caught a bargain off eBay at the end of 2007 and got my 160 litre aquarium with everything included in order for me to set up my fish tank. 6 months later, after setting up a 90 litre and moving the few surviving barbs to it, we decided to start again on the 160 liitre due to (the LFS guess) a...

Ok, my favourite clown loach, 'Stripey' is on his deathbed it seems.....

I'm using a whitespot treatment which lasts for 6 days, done a water change last night, raised the temp to 29 1/2 , and cleaned the sand... but no noticeable difference, and plus my pleco has gone missing, I just hope to God that he is hiding somewhere and still alive...

R.I.P Bala shark :'(

The tank has been running for 4/5 months, bought all the sharks 2 1/2 weeks ago, the tiger barbs + pleco, and the remaining redtailed don't have whitespot.

R.I.P Redtailed black shark... Thanks for the help, everybody...

I have a 160 L tank, 1 bala shark(1 just died, the remaining is bent and floating on the top, yet still alive, with white spot), 2 clown loaches(1 doesn't move it's back fins on the underside of it's body, it has darkened and both have whitespot), 6 tiger barbs, 1 pleco, 2 red tailed black...

Sorry, though I am new to the fish business and the LFS man sold us them reassuring us that they would be fine. NO3 = 50 GH = >10'd KH = 3d PH = 7.2 Did a water change today, the LFS man told us 10-20% every two weeks. I have no idea about aeration and chemicals, and I may kill the other fish...

I have a 160 L tank, 6 tiger barbs, 2 red tailed black sharks, 1 bala shark, 2 clown loaches, 1 bristlenose pleco Well firstly, after noticing a raise in nitrate levels and a missing bala shark, the most sensible conclusion would seem that it has been eaten... And secondly and most worrying to...

... Anyone? :shout:

My bristlenose 'sucker' catfish is never hiding, he's always active, swimming about and irritating other fish by sucking them when they're lying down :) Off topic, but... Something about the tiger barbs is that they like to be in groups of at least 6, it stops them from being lonely, and they...
