Thanks, did a big water change and clean today (I do 40% change every 7-10 days) and finally the synodontis appeared this evening. Perfect shape, nothing wrong whatsoever! Whatever it was, it was something stuck to his side but not a growth. Needless to say, I’m very relieved. We’re in the...

Other fish are a cory, a honey gourami, some tetras and an oto, as well as shrimp. I used the salt previously, safely, with the same fish in it.

@Colin_T thanks! I’m not sure how long it’s been like it as he’s very timid but he looked ok a couple days ago and he’s eating normally (just not as visible/confident as he was a week ago, but I think that’s just a change in behaviour as he matures). When you say wipe the inside glass, should...

I just remember I have NTLabs anti whitespot and fungus treatment which has worked a treat in the past. Should I add this now (with the salt in there), or do a water change and then add it?

I haven’t posted in a long time as my aquarium has been a very happy place for the past 12 months. In fact, my dearf petricola bred! It’s the first time I’ve ever bred egg-laters (and I wasn’t even trying to!). It’s a beautiful little fish but this evening I noticed a white mark/growth on its...

Thanks for all the quick advice above, I’ve decided to feed 3 times a day over the next 4 days and do a water change on the day I go away. Hopefully all should be well.

I found a tetra gel block, still a no-no? https://www.tetra.net/en-gb/lp/holiday-food

I’m really surprised to read the comments about not leaving anything. I’ve been told that up to 10 days is ok to leave them unfed and I was planning a water change on the day I leave but felt I needed something in there food wise while I’m away. Is it because of what’s added to the food blocks...

I’m going to go on holiday for 10 days and am leaving my tank with 5 tetras, a gourami and 3 catfish. Can anyone recommend a holiday food tablet make that’s reputable? There are lots on Amazon but with mixed reviews, I’m not sure which one to go for.

I literally looked in the aquarium 60 seconds ago and thought I’ll go on the forum and ask @Colin_T whether he thinks I should add another dose! Much more active today and seems to be swimming better so I’ll add a second dose this morning. I also fed bloodworms the last 2 days for some variety...

Would you recommend I add another dose of the anti-internal bacteria treatment from NTLabs? It says it can be dosed every other day up to 4 applications. The cory seems in much better spirits but still has a white patch on its head
