Hi, thanks for the reply. It is kept in freshwater, unfortunately I had no idea they are best kept in brackish water and was also told by LFS it is community. I have had him for about two years, so have since learnt to do my own research and not listen to the LFS!! I have tried adding a...

Hi everyone! Okay... my black molly is poorly!! I have been researching for a week now and I can't come to any conclusion other than that it is some sort of worm or parasite. I just don't know what type of worm/parasite etc so I really don't know how to treat. Could it be a tapeworm? But...

Thanks for all your replies. Well I went to my LFS that was open til 8pm and told them about the problem with my betta and gourami and asked if he would be willing to take the betta off my hands and he agreed. I told him I didn't want any money for it (as I didn't buy it from their shop) but...

I'm very diappointed, the guy in the shop told me that the betta would be fine and that they are very peaceful!!!!

Hi everyone! First of all, thanks for all of your advice on moving my fish to a bigger aquarium... it was acutally quite easy and I've had encountered no problems at all. I bought a couple of new fish at the weekend... a male blue dwarf gourami and a betta splendens (siamese fighting fish)...

Thanks again for all your words of advice!

Many thanks for your advice, I'm really grateful... I only have 2 fish at the moment , 2 black mollies. Is my new tank big enough to house clown loaches? Also, could you recommend the maximum number of fish I could have in a tank that is 155/165 litres (i think thats about 40 US gallon)...

Well, I have just bought a 155/165 litre tank and I pick it up on Saturday... I would really appreciate some further advice. It's an Aqua One AR850. So if i set it up on Saturday, as soon as I collect it, and use the filter media from my old tank - can i put the fish straight in? Or do I have...

Thanks for the comments... really appreciated. Nat

Hi guys! I just wanted to check something out... I have two black mollies who seem to be trailing waste - is this normal? I've had the tank for nearly 2 years now and have had them since then and this problem has been over the last 6 months. I don't believe I'm feeding them excessively - I...

I already have some anti fungus & fin rot treatment from interpet so i'll try that next. I don't think it'll work though, i came home and found another 2 guppies dead and the other platy. The platy had red around his gills and the top of his head. My siamese fighter is about to croak too, he...

Hi Thanks for your comments... well so far I have lost 2 clown loaches, 2 silver sharks, a platy, and 2 guppys. I have managed to get rid of the white spot but now there's something else wrong. All my other fish look seriously ill, they're not eating and just lying on the bottom of the tank...

Hey! Thanks for all your advice/comments. I did try to turn the temp up last night but unfortunately it has jammed so it won't budge. These are the fish I have... 2 clown loaches, 2 silver sharks, 4 guppies, 2 platies, 1 black molly, 1 yellow molly and a siamese fighter. Actually i say 2...

Thanks for the advice... what should I do after the last treatment that i give tomorrow?? My clown loach is still covered in them and from what i can figure out when the parasites fall off the fish the cycle starts again so do i have to re-treat? Shall I do a 50% water change and do the...
