Evening My Black Moor has what looks like a piece of 'fluff' coming out of his gill. It looks like a tiny piece of cotten wool. He has no other specks of white or anything on him at all. He has been swimming around with it for around 1 day - some of it seems to have come off. He appears healthy...

A 450 Juwel Vision is winging its way to me but I;m concerned about the filter. I have 5 messy goldfish so realise that I need to purchase an external filter. I think that I'll keep the juwel internal filter (but may take it out). The aquarium will be in my living room so I don't want a noisy...

Yes, I wondered if another filter should be considered although it has also been said that I should try the internal on its own first. Sorry to be ignorant but what brand is APS? Is that one also an internal? Can I ask what the tank is like? I think I may travel somewhere to view the tank...

After a lot of thought, I've decided to purchase the largest aquarium possible so I don't have to upgrade again - my fish will also love the space. The only tank that I can find is the Jewel Vision 450 litre (I don't like the new Fluval tanks as they are all in one steel setups). The Vision...

I've just been given a 120 litre tank (interpet with P4 filter)by my neighbour - very generous man! Anyway, I've never had an internal filter before and just wondering if this P4 one is suitable. I shall probably put my 2 lionheads into this tank so need an excellent filter. Is the P4 fine...

Many thanks. I really feel fine now and will simply admire my fantail's new colouring :good:

Many thanks. I shall go onto this forum and pose the question but I am happy with your reply. You have made me less nervous that i am probably doing something wrong! I don't want to lose my fishes :no:

My lovely fantail is going fromn gold to silver/white. Is this normal? I've had him/her for around 8 months and he is around 3 inches in length. (Does anyone know a rough age?). He is very healthy - beautiful fins and swims around happily. I feed him peas/grapes once a week (not at the same...

As advised, I have researched the Fluval 240 and must say that it looks a great tank. However, I want this tank to be my last one EVER so should I consider going even larger? I have 3 goldfish but wish to get Black Moor - if I hopefully have all 4 for the next number of years will a 240 suffice?

Many thanks. I'll do some research on the 240litre. I'll have a browse on their website. Thank you for your advice.

I need to upgrade my current 150L tank and would like to purchase either a 260L or 300L. I have read a lot about either Fluval or Jewel but can't quite decide which one to get. Has anyone any preference or another type that I should consider? The tank will be for my 3 goldfish (1 fantail / 2...
