I put a thread up in the plants section but have had no responses, LFS said they should be fine but not sure whether I would trust anything they say. I bought some plastic plants off ebay but I am dubious about putting them in the tank as the bottom is like a plaster of paris weight, is this...

Thanks Hopkigg Things are starting to look up, the white spot seems to be going and the pimafix is getting rid of the bacterial infections, the glowlights were looking alot better this morning and the pictus catfish was whizzing around doing upside down swimming which he hasn't done for ages so...

No casualties yet today which is good. Hopefully the glowlights may recover :)

I asked about the plants at the LFS and they said rinse them off but shouldn't be any problem, I like the snails I think they are cute and I used to have the clown loach to keep their numbers down, although I am starting to think plastic is the way to go, they will last a bit longer. As...

Hi I have had an awful problem with whitespot in my 240 litre tank. This batch has been so bad that most of the fish have died, some of secondary bacterial infections. What I was wondering was could any of this bacteria be living in or on any of the plants, there is a furry sort of algae...

Thanks will do. I have ordered some plastic ones off ebay which I am waiting for to arrive so I may ditch the live ones anyway as they are not in the best health either but I never did have green fingers. Sadly I have now lost another angel the smaller pictus cat and a glowlight tetra. I am...

Doesn't it just :( This morning I woke up to two more dead angels and three dead black phantoms. I got some Pimafix today but I was to late for another black phantom, my first and favorite clown loach and the bala shark, the smaller of the two pictus has got cloudy eyes and I have little hope...

just found a clown loach dead, it had buried itself under the gravel :( one of the two remaining is looking likely to go ext and the other is missing possibly also buried :( totally bummed out :angry:

Ok thanks Wilder. You've been a great help. I will pick up some Primafix tomorrow and fingers crossed its not Ichthyosporidium. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks again. :good:

Thanks, I have Melafix, so I am guessing I should be able to get pimafix. Is Pimafix for the bacterial infection? Could I use Melafix with the protozin as I already have that so I could put some in now or is that not a good idea? Thank you so much again for your help.

Thanks so much for your help. Last question, I have been looking up eye problems, and looking at the bala shark he is now swimming downwards in to the corner o the tank, his eyes are cloudy and bulging now, from what I read this is likely to be popeye or dropsey and is contagious, should I just...

Thanks again Wilder. My frind had white spot in her tank and as she has shrimp she treated with Myxazin, I treated white spot in my small tank with this also as I have a small blue lobster in there and it seems to have worked. do you think it would be a good idea to wait a couple more days and...

Thanks Wilder I have a large air stone in their and the filter is also aggitating the water alot. I have turned the temp back up and it is now at between 28 and 29. I turned the light off but I'm not hopeful that there will be many survivors. the angels that are left are still hovering at the...

No I removed the carbon before I started the treatment. It's awful I hate seeing them all so sick and distressed. I just don't know what else to do, I don't want to make things worse by adding something I shouldn't.

I've just noticed the bala shark has a cloudy eye and keeps sort drifting then gets a mad spurt and zooms across the tank. One of the pictus cat fish is acting weird too it swimming vertically in the bubbles from the air stone. I've just done a 20 % water change incase I stirred up any nasty...
