Thank for your reply, but he past away in the night :(

Hi, I've had some issues with my Electric Blue in that 2 weeks ago he started having issues staying buoyant (not sure if that the right word) as he every time he stopped swimming he sank to the bottom. At first I put it down to stress as I had 2 Kribs which where okay when I got them but after...

Thanks for you help, just tried the blue light and watched them swim around for a bit so they are not a lazzy as I thought :) Just watch the video so kind of understand it now, just need to test the ammonia level tomorrow as all the other levels are on my current test kit and are all ok. Again...

They look cool, I guess I was worrying to much, and I don’t expect them to remove algae just 99% . I know I have to do my cleaning just worried something was wrong

This tank is 8 weeks old, just moved up from a 5gl tank, is ammonia same as chlorine? If so yes and the level is 0. Took a couple of photos don’t judge on scaping as I know it’s rubbish but I’ll try again once I make sure the fish are ok.

Hi, I've got 3 Otocinclus Dwarf Catfish, had them for about 3-4 weeks and they are not very active, they seem to rest on the bottom of the tank and do nothing else. They will feed if I put a pellet in, but dont seem to eat any algae. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Tank : 20gl Current...

Okay running out of Ideas.. I did another water changed and cleaned the filters (really didn't need cleaning) and after a few hour a did a water check and the levels where 20 No3 and 0.5 No2. I check this morning and they where back up to 40 No3 and 2 No2???? Can fertiliser increase nitrates...

Okay not sure what to do, I did a 75% change and the values when to 40 No3 and 1 for No2. I got up this morning and tested the water ant is back to 50/2. Not sure whats going wrong. On the good news side one of the blues are looking alot better and is more active, there other doesnt seem to have...

Hi, I've just tested the water from the tap is 0 NO2 and 18 NO3. About 3 weeks ago I had to change my filter as it dies so went for a canister type and I checked the reading for 2 weeks after and it was fine. Yes its planted and they seem to be doing okay. I've got an old NO2 test kit from...

Thanks for the replies, I went and rechecked my water and for some reason it has changes in that the nitrates have gone high, so yesterday I did a 1/3 water change and checked the parameters again this morning and they haven't moved?? I did lower the temps to 25 the other day (not sure why) but...

Hi, I've had my aquarium for 3-4 months and not had any issues until I introduced a Molly to my tank as I felt sorry for it in the pet store as it was on its own. After owning it for a week I could see why as it was constantly attacking my two rams, so I gave it to a friend who had larger fish...
