Hiya, my Zebra Danio recently had inflammed gills, which I noticed straight away and treated and he appeared to be fine. Now my Zebra appears to have stopped eating flakes when I put them in, dives to the top as if going to eat - but dont eat!! Now he is getting very thin and majority of the...

Ok thanks, I will put Med in then! Fingers crossed for babies, lets hope they survive,I hate the thought of killing them, kind of you to offer Platys though, thank you.

Hiya, I have a Zebra Danio who is sick and hoping to treat with Interpet Anti Internal Bacteria BUT I have 5 baby Platys in the tank also (3 approx 2 months old, 2 approx 1 month old). Is it ok to treat tank with medication if you have babies in their? I thought about seeing if I can take...

Thanks for the info - interesting where your guppies hang out, so my danios are'nt quite strange then where they like to swim :). No change in him tonight, still hanging around the top, swimming, eating as far as i can see, to be honest dont see them poo, must do it discreetly. Will do as you...

Thanks for your reply. My Danios have always swam together generally at the bottom whizzing about, and the obvious darting around the tank. Had them all for 2 years now, so never no prob's, healthy, happy fish. So seeming this one Danio is staying on his own, hanging at the top of the tank...

Anyone a good fish vet?? Male Zebra Danio hanging around the top of the tank almost all of the time (he generally hangs out at the bottom of the tank whizzing about with the other Danios) so I know something is wrong. Ive tried real hard to see any symptoms but nothing!! not gasping, not...

Sorry for the delay replying but thanks to you all for your comments, much appreciated. Im in two minds now whether to keep her or give her to some other lucky person!! She is a stunning looking fish, but the most important thing I have to consider is the fishes health and well being. If I did...

Ohhh brilliant!! Im so pleased I can keep her, now im smiling. So the general rule is they can inter breed as much as they wish just not with the deformed fish, excellent knowledge I have learned. Thanks for your help ha ha!! Very funny!!

I have several platy fish in my tank and forever breeding (I give them away to friends if any survive!) but I was wondering is there a ruling regarding 'inter breeding'? Reason I ask is, I have a blue male platy with spots, what seems like his offspring that survived in the tank from birth, a...

Thought I would let you know incase anyone else had encountered this before, I contiuned using Interpet No 7 for the flukes (was still waiting for the delivery of Sterazin)and noticed my Pearl Danios started going up and down the side of the tank continously all the time, then my Zebra Danios...

Sorry delay replying, pleased to say I did as you recommended and left the lid off to dry for a while. My brother popped up the next day to have a look at the fittings to see how to release the glass (easy when shown how!!) bit difficult to explain, but had to pull the metal fitting on your...

Phew - oh thank you, I thought I completely ruined it!! I did have a look at the glass to see if i could remove it but its thin metal clips that did'nt seem to want to unclip, so I was unsure whether to give them a good pull, thought it would be just my luck I would crack the glass too!! I had...

I was taking the lid off the tank and dropped the corner of the lid, where the lights are in the tank. Thankfully the electric was off and I pulled the lid out quickly, the corner had a dunk into the water. I put the lid on the floor on a cloth to let the water drain out, im not sure if lots...

Thanks I will try the Sterazin if need be. Also then the antibacterial. Will order it online - get a stock of med's ready incase need them. (Will check ebay- thanks) I will keep in touch let you know how she is.

Hiya, just a quick update how things are going!! Good news my Platy has improved slightly!! I took the carbon out, did another water change and used Interpet No 7 as advised (afraid shop dont stock Waterlife brands - (anyone recommend a good aquatics website in the UK I can order fish stuff...
