My water readings are all fine. He tries to eat but spits the food out again. Today he looks really weak.

My male Platy is losing loads of weight and is trying to eat but spits the food out again, he also hides a lot. Has he a disease and is it a hazard to other fish or me?

Can I use my old 60 litre air pump in my new 180 litre tank? I only want small air bubbles.

Just a little question, how does everyone stick a background picture to their tanks?

I have an air pump going all the time. I will plug heater back in then.

I have unplugged my heater because the temperature in my tank is 28c. Can I leave my heater unplugged all night?

The temperature in my tank is 27c, it is usually 24-26c. I presume the rise in temp is because of the hot weather. Is anybody else having this problem?

It is quite noisy to be honest, i looked in local pet shop today and couldn't see a T-valve. Do most shops sell them?

Marina 200, until I get a T-valve ,I will leave one outlet blowing air.

My air pump for my 180 litre aquarium has to outlets for two tubes but I am using just one air outlet with my tank. The other air outlet is just blowing out air. Is this ok?

Thanks, I will keep an eye on them.

Yes, I cycled the tank. My yellow platy is getting an orange tail, my orange platy is going really red at the front and yellowy at the tail end. They are fine in themselves, active and eating.

Hi, I have 6 Platies and 3 of them are changing colour. One of them seems to have changed in 24 hours. Any answers? My tank has been running for 4 weeks.

Hi, I have a Juwel Rio 180 and the filter pipe blows the water out quite hard, as the outlet pipe flow is strong, all the little particles in the water get blown about away from the filter slits. Will my water ever be crystal clear? my tank has been set up for 4 weeks.
