Hi. I posted this is the general forum not realising this was here so I have copied and pasted it over to the correct place. I hope someone can advise me. On Monday evening I noticed that my pair of Angel fish had laid about 100 eggs(this is a guess for reference sake) on an Anubus leaf...

Thanks for that. It is the first batch. I dont think it is fungus as the parents have been fantastic at looking after them. They quite young, I bought them just before christmas and they were about the height of your little finger. Now they are twice that big.

Hi. Not sure if I am posting this in the correct place, but I have looked and cannot find any other place to put it. On Monday evening I noticed that my pair of Angel fish had laid about 100 eggs(this is a guess for reference sake) on an Anubus leaf. There were one or two white "chalk"...

White spot was my thoughts also. But I have been continuously treating for this for the past 5-6 weeks with absolutely no effect.

Tanks Stats. 150litre Live plants 2 Angel Fish 1 Gouramis (female) 5 Female Platies 2 Male Trickle Filter Temp = 25-26degreesC Ph=7.5-8 Ammonia=0 Nitrate = This reading is 110ppm but 110ppm is also reading for plain tap water also so not sure if the test is accurate. Nitrite = 0 Hi all...

ok I have been treating for parasites for 4 days now and have seen no improvement. Also have now noticed some degrading of the fins as well. Just the ends looking a little ragged. Do I allow this treatment to take its course. Which means ending tuesday. Or do I do a water change today...

ok. Is there anyway of moderator moving this thread into the emergency section? Yes in my most recent test, which was posted today, my nitrite was 0ppm. (looks like I edited it with the results at the same time as you posted your message) Sorry about the confusion.

I am using Nutrafin Essenstial mini master test kit. My Nitrite levels are at 0ppm so I dont understand why I would have to do a water change? I havent added any new fish since June which is when all this began. About 2 months after getting them one began to get ulcers on its body that...

well I now have the fish being bullied in an isolation net. However I have no noticed what looks like a single white dot directly in the centre of the eyes (just 1 dot) of both my angel fish. These fish also have a whitish colour coming on their tale fins although no erosion yet and I have...

thanks for your help Phil. I will take ANOTHER trip up to the fish shop tomorrow and have a look for a tank divider. The bullying would probably stop if I bought some partners for the 2 lone fish but for obvious reasons I cannot yet. I will ask while up there about the scrapes as the guy...

The nitrate levels I am unable to test today as I think the kit is faulty. It is reading >110ppm in the tank, but also on the tap water and some mineral water I have lol. The last time I measured it (about 1 week ago) it was 20. Nitrit I should have been more specific with. It is...

Hi all. I posted a few months ago when I had a blue gouramis that had ulcers on its body and it wouldnt get better. Well things have gone from bad to worse since then and I am really at the end of my tether. The blue gouramis eventually died, having not responded to any treatments. (I...

very interesting link thankyou. he is now in isolation and was on his way out very quickly. So I thought all or nothing and got him out on the side in a net and put some neat meth blue direct onto the wound on his side which was getting very pink and when I picked him out of the tank you...

Size of tank 150litres 3 siamese algea eaters 2 blue gouramis 2 blood-red gouramis (male and female) 2 penguin tetras (remainder of a group that has long departed) 1 extremely small male Platie (I gave the rest away as they were taking over the tank but this little chap...

Hi all. It is a shame that my first post is going to be me begging for help but needs must lol. I have had a problem with my male gouramis for getting on for 3 weeks now. It started with what looked like a scuff mark on the belly which developed into what looked like an ulcer. Then...
