Hi, I'm relatively new to marine, having only put CUC in my new nano reef tank a week ago. I've got into a routine of feeding every other day and I noticed this evening that after eating a few Mysis, my skunk cleaner shrimp, Stan, has kept hold of a Mysis but isn't eating it, just holding it...

Thanks for your input. Yes, now i've looked it up I would go for the Rotala also. My red nose shrimps have stripped it bare mind so I don't know how much longer it will be in there. As for your other guesses, yes, I had Ozelot Sword and Wendtti. I did wonder if the other one was Petchii rather...

Thanks for your help. I've managed to track down all but no. 3 which I can tell you is definitely not anacharis. Below is hopefully a clearer photo. Can anyone help with this last query? TT

Hi, I'm trying to catalogue/research the plants in my tank and it feels like looking for a needle in a haystack online. I wondered if there is anyone in the know who might be able to help identify what I have? Note: Although the leaves of plants 1 and 2 look the same, I wondered if they are...

Hi, I have four red nose shrimp that have been settling in to a 28 litre planted tank for about two weeks now. For a week they have been sharing with a betta who seems to be completely ignoring them (so far so good.) As i'm mainly feeding the betta with pellets and there is not much in the way...

I have a slightly larger tank, based in Kent. But would be looking for more than £30 for it. http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=306864

Because he doesn't look like he's suffering, i'm not willing to go the double dose route and run the risk of affecting the whole tank. I'll take your advice on the 50% water changes.

Well the Angel still has this pinkish wound at the base of its fin. I wouldn't say its got any worse but its not shrunk that much either. I would rather do another treatment to see if it can improve anymore but didn't want to leave it a week before re-dosing.

Hello, I'm considering getting one of the new portrait style 60 litre tanks and was wondering if anyone on here had got one and what livestock they keep in it. In particular i'm trying to understand what bottom feeders (if any) would be happy in one of these. Cories anyone?? TT.

I'm considering selling my DuoDeep 210 litre tank but I might be a bit far away in Kent? Did you want it stocked or just the tank? TT.

Hi, I've just completed a whole dose of Interpet Internal bacteria Meds and I think that another dose will be required. I took the instructions to say that I have to do a water change on the 7th day then wait another week before commencing a second treatment. Have I got this correct or is it...

God, how depressing. I'm hoping that this is not what has caused the issue with the angel's fins. Again, isolation isn't an option and it sounds like its appropriate that the whole tank is treated anyway. None of the meds mentioned are familiar to me. Do you know if there any of the shelf meds...

Thanks for the support all the same. I feared the worse but always prefer to have a second opinion. Have put gourami to sleep. Will get internal meds in the morning to treat the suspect fin. Thanks again.

Certainly some of the symptoms are there. I don't like to see a fish suffer so I think there's only one option here as isolation isn't an option.

I'm not sure if it is finrot on the Angel. If it is its worse than i've ever seen before. With regards the Gourami, yes, very skinny and bent spine.
