I have a feeling that my wife used organic window cleaner to clean the tank. She said she didn't but I'm not convinced.

Yes that's exactly it. I'm more an more convinced that it is toxins in the tank. Last night and this morning all of the fish were gasping at the top and the clown loach were upside down with there mouths at the surface. This afternoon they appeared to be much better. I did another massive water...

It was only one of the molly's and one of it gills was/is pure white. I should mention that all of this started suddenly. Everything was fine for months, then suddenly they all looked very ill and started behaving strangely. I'm wondering if something toxic, such as a household chemical has got...

ok thanks. I'll start there then...

About 1.5 inch. I'll research gill fluke now but is it easy to treat or not?

My tanks has been up and running for four months now. The parameters are all fine. Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 30 and PH 7.4. It's a 100L tank that I don't think is over stocked. Yesterday I noticed that one of the molly's had whitish looking gills. One of the corry's was a bit gray and...

I just can't make my fish eat any veg at all. I've tried cucumber, corshets, lettuce and banana. I've heard that tomato and peas are good. Do they need to be steamed first or diced up?

I have the same problem. I keep trying different veg but it never gets touched (except by the apple snails). I only leave it in there for about an hour. Perhaps I'm not giving it long enough?

You can steam the veg first. That often stops them from floating.

That's interesting. Do you put the tomato in whole or do you dice it up a bit?

That's a nice looking site Dr Bogger. I've only looked at some of the content, but so far so good :good:

Thanks for your advice everyone. I'll just hang in there then.

I did a 50% water change on Sunday (2 days ago). Now the water is starting to go yellow/brown. After two days it's not too bad. Some would say it's quite attractive. But after a week it looks horrible. It just looks like dirty water. I put a large piece of bog wood in the tank about three weeks...

I have a coridora that seemed fine just a few hours ago. It's laying on its side. Occasionally it starts flipping all over the tank then just lays on its side again. I've also noticed that it has gone very pale (almost completely white) all down its left side. I don't have a another tank to...

Oh good I'll just keep an eye on the nipping/harassing thing then. I suppose there's nothing that can be done anyway is there?
