P.H of 7.5, Nitrates around 0.1mg. have not done an amonia test... its a 72ltr tank. Each fish only has one spot which is whats confusing me as whitespot should cover more of the fish? Maybe its a fungus or something? Thats why I wondered if there was something that covered both options?

I have ... 3 x red coral platys 2 x pearl gourami 2 x swordtail 2 x khuli loach 1 x african fan shrimp All happily living together... however the pletys have each a single white spot on their tails and one has a larger whit spot on the body and its tail has frayed a little. I have read about...

I have 2 pearl gouramis 3 red coral platys 2 swordtails 2 khuli loaches 2 platies have a white spot on the tail, the other platy has a slightly larger white spot on the body near its tail. I was just worried that if it isn't white spot I could do more harm than good in treating the tank for...

I think some of my fish have white spot. I know there are several treatment available... Are there any that have a good reputation? Is it likely to harm the other fish or plants if I treat the tank with swhite spot treatment? If it is not white sopt will treating for white spot harm the fish...

Now this is where I might sound a bit dim... I'm not too sure about what constitutes a tank cycle...?? I followed a guide in a fish care book as to how long the tank should be set up from beginning to adding water and then plants and then the very first fish... During this time I tested the...

Argh!!! Why is every fish I like sensitive in some way or another... ;0) I have had the tank & plants etc set up over 10 days now and added 2 dwarf honey gouramis yesterday... I know that I'd like to add Harlequins in a week or 2 but is it advisable to get a scavenger to foridge for any waste...

Hi, I have read about Cories... The panda cory is one of the smallest and I think Nicest. However it says you should keep them in groups of 6 or more. Is this correct?

Small Gouramis and Rasboras... Thats a good sensible start... What are the logical suggestions for loaches/catfish for a tank this size? Presumably Corys etc? any other catfish? Anything a bit like the clowns? Eventually I will get a much larger tank but for now as you can tell I'm quite...

I have read up a little in these fish and as such was kind of already thinking it was silly. These were just the "oh they look nice" approach... Although you say the Gouramis are slightly too big, is it really unadvisable to start with a pair of those and would the rasboras be suitible as...

I have a new tank ready to set up... 72l I was thinking of a community tank with... 2 x Pearl Gourami 5 x Harlequin Rasbora 1 x Clown loach 1 x Red tailed shark for a start... Is this ridiculous and fanciful? What other suggestions can you make based on some of these fish for me?
