Thanks for your help Wilder!

I have two tanks running, platty is in the 120L ,I have also a 60L which at the mo has 4 male guppies and BN. I can have a swop round! So the platty is on his own in the 60L. What meds would you reccommend?

Hi Sofia, Hi Wilder All fish seem OK, Water Stats the same as yesterday. No change in either of the spots. No redness anywhere on fish and spot is pure bright white, Texture wise it is raised but smooth, not like cauliflower at all. Typical fish is being shy so cant get any more pics at the...

Sofia, you have been a help. thank you. Calling Wilder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like a Zit!!! Whitehead spot that you just wanna squeze!!! (OMG That sounds SO awful!) Very white in colour raised from the body and it seems slighty bigger on one side than the other? So, Seems to go all the way through tail fin. At the base. Im going to try and get some better...

Hi Sofia. Thanks for your reply. Affected platty seems to Ok, acting normally. If anything the spot is getting a bit bigger. Looks too big to be ICH and it is just the one spot. Another platty now look like it has the same spot, same place, alot paler in colour though. Been watching tank for an...

Hi, just noticed this morning that one of platties has a whitespot on the back fin. Iv'e searched google images and it does not look like Ich, As there is only one white mark. Fish seems happy, not showing any other symptons. Any advice please? Sorry about the poor quality picture. Water...

It was the same size as the 4 day old guppy fry that we have! Only saw it as it was moving so quick it was making ripples in the bucket!

Hi. I was cleaning my tank today and took out approx half the water in a water change. I was trying to find some fry which I which I had spotted and didn't want chuck them down the sink by mistake so was checking the bucket carefully. I spotted a weird looking little thing, about 6mm big, clear...

I Guess the best thing would be to get a bigger tank!! LOL

Hi Thanks guys. I think I may also going to give the Guppy to the friend whos taking the Plec so that will give me a bit more room to play with. Would Tetras be OK in a fairly new set up also with a slightly high PH (7.6), The friend is over run with Neon fry at the moment so could possibly...

Wow quick replys! Tank has been set up for 25 days now and was cycled with 2 Platys, 2 Guppies (1M 1F) 1 Cory and the Plec. (No research & bad advice from LFS) I lost one guppy but think it died after having fry, which were all eaten. 2 more Corys were added a week ago. The platys are both...

Hi I think my tank is finally cycled! Readings today are Am 0. NitrIte 0. NitrAte <10. PH 7.6. Current inhabitants are 3 Albino Corys, 2 Platties, 1 male Guppy and a Plec (soon to be rehomed in a friends 300L). Tank measures 60cm x 40cm x 30 cm. Its has a Fluval 3 internal filter. (The old...

Great. Thanks for that! I'm going to see about a friend looking after the cory for me untill the tank is cycled. Supposidly the fish shop I went to was the best in the area, but it looks like they were just after my money! How quickly will the plec grow? My husbands already talking about a...

Hi Thanks for the replys. I hope that this works but here is a pic of the plec and the pink catfish, wondering if anybody can ID them for me. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj43/vemb/026.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj43/vemb/019.jpg Sorry about the poor quality.
