Hello all! I am in two minds what to do.... I have a small 25l (UK) tank that has given me problems...... it has been running for over a year now. I bought 5 Norman's Lampeyes and all except one survived - there seemed to be a bullying issue! Water quality has always been tolerable but I hate...

Wilder - she has made a (what seems to be) full recovery! Colour has come back - no white stuff over the body and eating a treat! Other tank mates are good too! I'm going to wait a week to make sure nothing happens and then pop them in my Dad's larger tank. Thank you for your advice once again!

:good: Thank You!

Thanks once again for your help Wilder - I will keep you informed. I will probably close this small tank down and start afresh. My other tank is the 45litre version of the cube tank (like in PFK) and I'm using a Rena XP1 external filter that sits under my kitchen worktop. I'm stuck with not...

I understand what you are saying about them. My Dad has got a lightly stock 60litre.... Do you think it would be safe to move the Danios down there tomorrow? I feel really bad about them..... At least this forum has got experienced and helpful people. The water change is almost done here.

Just noticed one thing with the Tetra - for every gill movement (take in of water), every fin is moved/twitched with it.....

Before I knew about stocking etc - I listened to the shop and they didn't mention about the tank being small for the fish I have. You did mention before about it being overstocked. It is a 15litre! With 4 Danios, now 1 Glowlight, 2 Otos and a Algae shrimp. I do 10% water changes every 3-4...

I'm in Gloucestershire...... Would you have any explanation why two apparently healthy Glowlights would die on the same night? Then this one just started to get this happening?...... Would it spread to my Danios and 2 Otos? I cannot see anything abnormal with the gills.... I have owned all...

I've noticed her fin has been getting worse to Wilder.......

Pic a comin!

Thanks Wilder! It is like icing sugar!! Wierd way of describing it I know!

Thanks for replying Wilder. The stats are as follows: Temp - 24 celcius Ammonia - 0.0-0.1 colour between both Nitrite - 0.1 Nitrate - 0.0-12.5 colour between both Two of my Danios were rubbing up against plants and rock but I cannot see any sign on parasites.... The last (the largest)...

Hi all. I did my 10% water change last night as I have done many many times to the wake up this morning to find one glowlight dead and another one laying stiff as a board but will still gill movement. My female glowlight (last one now!) is still fine but swimming around to try and find her...

I'd personally say two Otos should be fine as long as you are keeping up on your water changes.

I can't really comment on your requirements but I just want to say DO IT!!! I replaced my fake plants a few days back and what a difference!!! The tank looks much brighter and more like it should!
