The log is resin, I did have a small piece of bog wood but that become very dark looking around the same time as the cloudiness started so I removed it. I always clean my filter sponges in water removed during my water changes. As the cloudiness seems to annoy me more than the fish I will sit...

My tank has been set up for about five or six years, it has sand substrate. For the past several months I have been experiencing cloudy water. I have stirred the substrate and “hovered” it, carried out numerous water changes ranging from usual five litre to fifty percent. I have cleaned the...

You may remember I posted a photo some months back showing eggs on my aquarium glass. They didn’t last, and over the weeks several more batches appeared and perished. I noticed two Cody’s digging a cave under the artificial log but thought no more of it, other than that they were possibly...

Thanks for your help guys, the fish are all eating and fully coloured. I will stop the medication and just keep a close watch on any developments.

My tank has now been running for approximately four months, and no new fish or plants have been added for about three months. The problem first appeared as a white looking area around the mouth of one of my sterbii Corys along with the disappearance of his barbels. I considered this to probably...
