I really dont think I could... Everyday I would watch them and see how unhappy a lot of them were as they were bullied or in the worst cases how ill they were. I understand that this isnt how it always is and In a few years when I'm more settled I would probably try again. I'm certainly not put...

After another 3 (Supposedly hardy platty) fish died a few days ago I decided its time to accept defeat and return the rest of my fish to the lfs :-( I work silly hours and to be honest after being sold the wrong varierty of fish at the beginning it has been one hassle after another (as some of...

Yes i'd say it does look a bit like that. it basically looks like he has no eyes at all and it is only when he moves them that you can tell theyre still there!! He has been under a lot of stress as the other barb hasnt left him alone since he was put in the tank, chasing him constantly, the...

Have just read about Corneal Opacity (cloudy eye) Im guessing it could be this. The site says it can be down to nutritional deficiencies, I have noticed that since the other denisonni has been bullying it (last few weeks) the affected one hasnt been eating) Can anyone shed any more light on this?

Have just arrived home to find that my denisonii barb appears to be blind! His eyes are misted up and he doesnt react to me moving my hand in front of him as he usually does. he is just staying in one place... I have tested the water and there is only a very small amount of nitrite in the water...

Hi all I think all of my earlier problems with our tank have gone away and im happy with how the tank is apart from a couple of niggly little things... My two male mollies still annoy each other every day (cant think of a better word for it) I havent seen them fighting properly for a while now...

Strange though because I have never seen the Denisonnis show any kind of reaction to the guppies.....

oh dear.... found the remains of one of them in one of the plants...Im amazed how decomposed it was considering it was alive and well this morning.... It doesnt explain what happened to the other one but i think its safe to assume it died and has decomposed already... :unsure: I have three...

I have takent the filters out of the filter box to check and there is nothing in there.... Plus the gaps are far too small for them to get sucked through.... And with regards to them jumping out.... I have a lid on top of the tank so that isnt possible.... I am completely confused. If the...

I have literally LOST two guppies!!!!! I have checked everywhere in the tank and they are nowhere to be seen, I had 5 which im pretty sure I saw all of this morning and now i only have 3, I have moved all ornaments etc to check for them but they are nowhere to be seen... Surely they havent...

The lump has actually gone now, it has left a mark on its side but its amazing how it has just disappeared after a water change. it was a skin coloured lump with what looked like white hairs coming off it.... I will keep an eye on it, should i treat them despite it going away??

They seem to be ok for long periods of time and then they just go for it. I may look into getting some females.... If I dont sell the whole aquarium first, had nothing but nightmares with it..... :crazy:

Help! One of our mollies has a lump on one of its sides that looks like a hairy ball (sorry about bad explanation) I have noticed that they have been fighting a bit lately, could this just be the equivelent of swelling from a bruise or something more serious??? Thanks

was that laughing due to the bad advice advising me to get MORE males??? :lol: I'm pretty sure adding MORE males would cause bigger problems. I currently have two male mollies and no females so would think i need to add females right??!?! but the thing is surely to suit the correct ratio i...

Hi Our 2 male Mollies ahve started fighting with each other, they are trying to nip each other in their side and hitting each other with their tails....This is hapening the worst today and cant see them stopping? Anyone know why or what we can do?? Thanks
