He perked up on Friday evening and I thought that was him on the mend but unfortunately Ronnie passed away on Sat morning. Lis

Thanks for your advise. I won't be home from work for another few hours so I'll check on him then and let you all know how he's doing - but I am preparing myself that it is more than likely old age. Lis

I've had Ronnie for nearly 2 years in a community tank and I've had no problems at all with him until last night. I came home from work to find him lying on his side at the corner of the tank. When I tried to net him to put him in a floating breeding trap so he is closer to the surface for...

Hi iJay The treatment I used was Interpet Aquarium Snail Away Hope this helps. Lis

Hi A few weeks ago I noticed there were a few snails - I'm calling them snails but they were about 2mm wide and look like an ammonite fossil. There were also a few "eggs" on the glass of the tank and also on the filter. The eggs were small, round and white. I treated the tank to remove the...

Hi Thanks for your help with this. The sword died last night. I was worried about the whole tank being infected so I have treated it with a dosage of anti-fungus and will reduce the feeding over the next couple of days as suggested. Thanks again. Lis

The tank is 180ltr with the standard Juwel filtration system and has been running since July. All tests were normal with a ph of 7. 10% water changes done every week. I have 1 betta 4 minnows 4 zebra danios 1 female platy 2 pearl gourami 2 blue dwarf gourami (only added 2 weeks ago) 2 swords...

My male sword has been staying in the corner of the tank and has lost all it's colour, he hasn't eaten for the last couple of days and today I've noticed he has a cotton wool like substance on his right fin and the tip of his tail. He also has a hole in the middle of is dorsal fin. Can anyone...

Hi Thanks to everyone who replied. I'm hoping the decorating won't take any more than a couple of days at most so I think I may just cover up the tank and keep a close eye on the fish! Thanks again and I'll let you know how I get on. Lis

Hi Just looking for a bit of advice on decorating the room that the fish tank is in. I have a 180 ltr tank and at the moment that sits along our wall in the living room. I'm looking to decorate the living room before christmas (just painting the walls etc, nothing major). Should the tank be...

I've had 4 White Cloud Mountain Minnows and 4 zebra danios in my tank for the last year. They all seem to shoal together, although one by one 3 of my zebra danios have died. Now the last remaining danio swims about on his own ignoring the minnows. Should I replace the danios? Thanks Lisa

Thanks to the replies I received on help with setting up my second tank. It's now up and running and I have transferred my 4 minnows and 2 zebra danios. The tank parameters are fine, all at desired levels but I still have 2 pearl gouramis and 2 dwarf gouramis in my smaller tank that I'd like...

Hi Thanks to all for your replies. I'll let you know how I get on! Lis

Hi Weaver Thanks for the reply. I haven't moved any of the fish yet as the tank has only been set up for a couple of days. I think my main concern is actually moving the fish - do I move them all at once or do I move them a couple at a time. I've posted to the other sections to see what...

HI I'm new to this site and looking for a bit of help and advice! I've had my smaller tank set up for the last 10 months and everythings going great - so great in fact I've caught the bug and bought a bigger tank (180 litres). I set the tank up last night to start the cycling process but I'm...
