Yeah, sorry for being a bit vague on the details. I forget how many factors affect these things. I will be taking the injured one back, I've had a think about it.  Thanks for all your help =]

I have done a test for ammonia nitrite and nitrate. It comes up with different colours and they all looked as low as possible. I should have mentioned that I had several other fish in the tank, some harlequin tetras, a pair of siamese fighting fish, a pictus catfish and two corys. My tank is...

Tank size: 60L pH: 6.8 ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 0 tank temp: 23c Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): Bought a pair of electric blue rams sunday, all looked fine when we went to bed. Woke up yesterday and the gill is missing from one...

My tank has been set up like 6 months now, and still looks really really bare. I've got sand as my substrate, and a bubble wall with green LED's along the back wall. Got a Cambodian theme going on, with a temple and a lion/dog type statue (if anyone knows where I can pick up more of this kind of...

I did mention it's dried! It's now starting to perk up again, I'll post a picture once its fully green :)

I was thinking of moving the tank into the basement (it has got natural light down there) and getting some shrimp and maybe a the corys with a few new ones in there. I don't know the size of the new tank, the headboard of our double bed is just a little shy of the width of the chimney breast...

Hey, thanks for the great advice, I should mention I know I'm overstocked, the plan is to upgrade the tank in the next month or two before the fish become large as they're still little at the moment, to a large one in the chimney breast wall in the bedroom. I've tried feeding the fish chopped...

My local P@H (ipswich) has improved greatly the last few months, in fact I bought a pair of bronze corys from there an have had no problems with them. They settled in well and although the staff weren't that knowledgeable about them, asked me lots of questions to make sure my tank was...

I know it may seem obvious but ebay is usually a pretty good source of unusual bigger pieces. Pet shops often get too much they can't shift so they put pieces on. I've found some pretty nice pieces there. Sorry if it's an obvious answer...

So I've had my betta since I got my tank about 8 months ago. I did get a couple of dwarf gourami maybe 3 months ago, and they started nipping at him so they had to go back to the shop After that they started healing up quite well, and I thought we were all going to live happily ever after...

UPDATE So I've started the moss wall at last. What a saga this is turning out to be. I foolishly dried out the moss thinking it would make it easier to manipulate. Mistake. It takes forever to become green again. Still, live and learn. Bought plastic mesh panels from ebay and stitched them...

They're from KingBritish, let me know if you have trouble finding them in the US, I can post you some if you need =]

Yes I knew my tank was getting full, but we had to take the gourami back because they just would not stop harassing the fighter, so it's all good now as we bought a more powerful filter too, even though the last one was doing just fine and all the levels of ammonia etc. were 0. But thank you for...

UPDATE So the new killifish (I'm still not sure what species they are, if anyone can help it would be much obliged) were lovely, and as I said at the end of the last post, went unnoticed by the bf for two days. So I get back round there late wednesday evening and we can't see the male. Long...
