Hiya, Just to update you... Very sadly, the repair of my tank didn't work...I did everything to the letter, but 48hrs later, it was leaking again, so I took myself off to the fish shop & bought a new tank. It is a bigger one, with a good pump etc. They advised me to rinse the tank out, put...

ok thanks :)

Thanks very much for your advice. Unfortunately I was late home from work tonight & the pet shop was closed but I will go in the morning. The tank is drying out nicely & as it is only small, I have been able to put it in the airing cupboard! Everything is working ok in the bucket and from what...

Ok I'm doing it as we speak! If I can get them in the bucket tonight & start drying the tank, I can hopefully get the silicon in tomorrow...I'll keep you posted thank you!

I'm a durrr I never thought of that - yes I can put the hood over the bucket & that will supply the pump. Now the filter itself is one of those sponges with little balls & that is built in to the tank its self...I can remove the filter cartridge & the balls & just pop them in the bucket with the...

Thanks ever so much. That is reassuring. I was worried about the effects of putting them in a bucket (I do have one just for the aquarium so I can use that). Now my heater will be ok as it is on a seperate cable, but the pump sits in the water & plugs in to the top of the tank. I can put the...

I have a very small tropical tank with heating & pump & just 4 Neons which I've had a couple of years or so. I think its an 18litre tank. It is a hexagonal one and one of the front panels is leaking quite badly from the seal. It has gone in two places so I am needing to top the tank up every day...

Thanks for your time Rabbut. Much appreciated. I will in deed keep a close eye on them & keep you posted IF we have any unwelcome developments. Thanks for being here!

ok thanks for that. It is a bummer. I really LOVE my fish...I mean, I don't have many & they're not fancy, but I really get a lot of pleasure from them & do my best to keep them clean & happy. If you have any other thoughts, do let me know. I'm feeling especially sorry for Guppy 2, who is lost...

Guppy died today...i have had my tank over a year & only had one death early on - now I have two in two days! Everyone else looks 100%. Stats look ok. I wonder what's going on? :(

Will do. The guppy is looking very off it...I will do stats regularly to make sure I'm not missing anything. Thanx guys :)

Just to update, the Neon was dead this morning & one of my guppys has hidden itself away. I separated the Guppy & gave the tank a good clean out & changed 70% of the water. I plopped the cucumber in but I don't think they know what to do with it ;) I took stats & they were all fine. The only...

BRILLIANT! Thank you!

Really - how fascinating! I have all of them in my fridge now. Is it true that cucumber kills snails? I have lots of snails! For my tiny amount of fish what sort of serving size am I providing & how often? Thank you!

What live/veg could I provide? I have 2 guppys, 1 Platty, 7 Neons. thanks :)
