1 focus scoop of GC and then 1 scoop focus per 1 tablsespoon of frozen food. Or mass prepare and freeze it as you have to feed this I add garlic guard aswell to try and encourage more consumption. Unfortunately if they are not eating it’s dosing the water usually after a day or 2 they start...

Totally agree with you and society is in such decay you get that behaviour and thus the rule but the nearest vet is over 60 mile away that specialises in fish. I’ve encountered many diseases with fish and experienced hexamita and Esha hexamita isn’t an effective treatment of that pesky flagella...

Oh I didn’t know - definitely. Had a load of focus turn up that banned as well ? Stocked for now anyway. Guess some people need some education in evil antibiotics for fish at customs. This country is nuts. Takes business away from vets I guess. £200 or a few hundred to a clueless vet that will...

You sound like you’ve had a nightmare. After a mass fish die out where I’ve been at a loss before I’d drain aquarium scrubs the hell out of it. When I’m happy with that I’d set it up and cycle it bare bottom tank nothing in apart from some hiding places for fish. Add the fish and observe. Then...

API General cure has metro and praziquantel not fenbendazole. Got an 850g in front of me. £200 delivered to the UK but priceless if you experience the likes of hexamita. Esha hexamita just doesn’t cut it.

It may resolve on its own. Clean water is always a good thing but I’ve only ever known salt for treatment. If it does go back in the fish maybe prone to vent prolapse in the future so it might be a thing you’ll see again. As for the bug bites they shouldn’t be causing any issue with digestion...

It doesn’t look like egg tube - I’ve had angels before and the tube was clear but others can correct me if I’m wrong. Vent prolapse I use Epsom salt first you can get the required dose via the web Has it lost any weight as certain worms will protrude out the anus.

As title says. I’ve had a terrible time with a large community tank. Decided to quarantined a new for 3 weeks. Needless to say it wasn’t enough time. While that fish didn’t show any signs a nemotode outbreak ensued. The crazy thing was I treated with levamisole first but as the standard dose...

Just going through the cycle of trying everything to make one of my L95 better. Flashing, looks a bit uncomfortable, fins clamped more than normal. Breathing seems to be roughly the same and eats like a beast still. No Ich, no flukes. When it flashes it will bump into things and goes between...

Agreed - if that was the only horrible problem with any fish. I feed my plecos zucchini/courgette. Largest ones I can find due to the stock and they devour it over night. I’ve noticed certain Plecs like the skin first others like the bristlenose’ start from the other side. ( I cut the veg in...

l262’s are lovely Plecs. Sites often claim certain sizes but when it comes down to it if they will pick the ones they have left. Only was is to go to a breeder and select your own.

Lovely setups and great commitment. I’d love to have the time to get multiple setups going and I guess with a bit of decent planning I could sort the plumbing up to save a huge amount of time but the mrs thinks the 200g is enough.

I’ve heard stories of cats getting fish and the fish still pulling through. Obviously caught in the nick of time. But could you image !! I’d be 😡

I’ve never been their as it’s 2.5 hours away. Looks like a tidy shop with a near up to date stock list which is great. I’ll make sure I’ll visit when I find an excuse to travel up that way. Another site roughly an hour ten from that shop is Victor aquatics. I picked up my new L 95. Never...
