Hi there, A friend of mine has a tank with a sand base and he's got a pretty big BN plec in there, had it running about 8month. All seems well with the plec. x

Hi, I have got a 90litre tank with 3 zebra danios, 2 flying fox, 2 dalmaion mollies and one sunset platy. the tank as been set up for about 2 months now, temp 26c One of my dalmation mollies has a swolen eye and keeps sinking to the bottom of the tank, he appears to be having difficulty...

That sounds like a good idea. Try and make sure your not giving them too much food that they leave it, this can cause nitrite levels to be a bit higher that normal. (just throwing ideas out there) Hope the treatment works and he gets better soon. Good luck chris

This does not look like a wound, this looks like an infection. More than likely due to poor water quality. Im not sure what it is exactly. But i would try and get some ulcer treatment to add to your tank water when you do a water change (check instructions for doseage) this is what it looks most...

I would certainly do more that a 15% water change on your tank, around a 30% water change on a tank your size would be better. Try and get your water results on here for more help and a diagnostic. Seen as there is only Danios in your tank it is unlikely the wound came after entering your...

Hi, I think the reason he isn't showing much interest in the new wood is because it is new its totally clean and has no algae for him to nibble on. It sounds like he doesn't appreciate all the changes to the tank and is maybe why he is off his food. Think it might be a good idea to give him...

I have put a fluval 2 filter in the tank, which is blowing bubbles into the water which the smaller fluval could'nt do. I have done a wter change and added sum ulser and fin rot meds. I have noticed the white on the lump has gone and the lump is smaller today. When i got the 2 fish from pets...

Its getting worse, the lump now looks like a white spot, as if you could sqeez it. It has sum white fluff looking strands from it aswell, only really small amounts. She still seems ok tho, not laying on the bottom much at all and not gasping at the surface. What now? Please help.

Is 25 gallon 113litre? Surely that cant be right for 2 gold fish? I feed them on aquarian goldfish flake. Tetra test 5in1 results as follows: Nitate is 100 Nitrite 5 Genral hardness 10 Carbonate hardness 3 PH 7

Hi, i have got 2 small fantail gold fish (one pink one orange) The pink goldy has become really fat over the last couple of days and then yesterday i notices a lump on the side. Its about as big as a pink head. The fish are in a 30liter aqua one tank with a fluval1 filter temp 21c. They have...

I have recently set up a 90litre fluval tank. Is houses 3 danio's and 2 dalmation mollies at present. The tank has only been set up about 3 weeks, has bog wood, live plnts and stones, temp 26c. All seems fine, fish looking healthy and active, eating well as usual. When i came home from...

Thanks for your reply. Think ill get a few in a week or 2.

Hi, i am currently keeping 2 flying fox, 2 dalmation mollies and 3 zebra danio in a 60litre tank. I am in the process of cycling a 90litre tank, which i intend on transfering the fish from the 60litre into I have never kept tetra before and i cant see them been too difficult to keep but as i...

Hi, I have been keeping 2 fan tail gold fish (around 2.5" in size) in a tropical set up (kept at 25c, which is suitable for cold water fish and some tropical) for almost a year now. They are more that happy, they eat just as much as the others (3 zebra danio, 2 flying fox, 2 mollies, and a...

What other fish do you have in the tank? If you have any think that likes to nip fins this could be the reason for the guppys tail to have gone and also the female guppy could have been getting niped which can cause real stress which in turn can result in death. Most common fin nippers i would...
