I only bought it earlier this year, but perhaps it had been in the fish shop for a while? Maybe it’s the tail like you say. It seems to be fine for a bit and then starts doing it again. Perhaps I’m over worried about it! ?

Hi all, thanks for the responses. A video can be found here: thanks!

One of my guppies appears to be reverting to a vertical position when not swimming. The photo attached shows what I’m referring to, although this doesn’t just happen at the top of the tank. Could this be swim bladder?

Thanks guys! All really helpful :)

Hi all, This morning when cleaning my tank I noticed three baby platys. I’ve made a temporary fry trap by cutting holes into a plastic bottle, and floating it in the tank. I’ve ordered a proper solution which should arrive over the next few days. I’m wondering what the best thing to feed them...

Hi all! I have a Fluval 207 canister filter, and the manual recommends replacing media on a monthly basis (but not at once). Does anyone have any recommendations in terms of how often this should be done? When I used to have an in tank filter, I rarely changed the sponges etc... Thanks!

Yes I did :) Unfortunately it was only a couple of small sponges, as I only switched to the canister filter with the aquarium upgrade 3 weeks ago. The sponge I transferred was from my small Interpet PF2 filter.

:lol:

Just a bit on edge as my filter packed up yesterday. Have been getting a replacement going today.

Thanks for the speedy response :) I started reading about Tetra disease and started worrying it was that. I guess more symptoms would appear if it was something like that. Thank you!

I have four young emperor tetra, and three adult fire tetra. I noticed this evening that one of the emperor tetra keeps floating on its own at the top of the tank. Every now and again, it joins the others but then splits off again. Should I be concerned / am I worried unnecessarily? Thanks.

Great suggestion. Thank you!!

I’ll give them a call tomorrow. Might order a replacement in the meantime. I’ve left the remaining media sat in tank water in the canister. Do you reckon it will survive, or will it die due to lack of oxygen? Thank you!
