I have a non generic tank that doesn't seem to be of any make or model, within the lid is an inbuilt filter unit. I am at the stage where replacing some of the filter media is becoming required but as my filter is not a named one i have a problem. The filter has 3 compartments, the 1st and 3rd...

I have asked a similar question as yours, and have been given the following advice... You can buy your tank, filter, heater, etc... for a bargain if you shop around, obviously im not sure what size of tank you would be considering but ive seen an aquastart 320 tank (with heater, filter...

its an API master test kit, the one with the liquid tests...

sad to say the little fella has just passed on... still no visable signs of illness, ill have to keep an eye on the other fishes in the tank...

Im at the stage where I realise that I should have a Q. Tank... Im going to get something small, not sure what yet. But my question is how do i get it going... Ive got a mature tank to help me get started, do I add some of my tank water, squeeze the filter media in, or what? An easy guide for...

Ive got a sick peppered cory but not sure what's wrong with him. He's currently at the bottom of the tank laying on his side and barely moving (although his gills are going at a normal speed) - he has been like this for a number of hours now. There are novisible signs of disease and all the...

Do you have a quarantine tank? Or do you just put new fish straight in your main (one of your) tank? Just curious really... I do not have one but after advice and extensive reading think I should get one?

When you say issolate the fish for 4-6 weeks does that mean a quarantine tank? I'm only asking because I don't have one. I obviously would like a second tank but financial/space restrictions do not allow this. My I also add that you, Wilder are very quick at responding, thanks, not only that but...

ive just looked at the article and was somewhat helpful I consider my water qualiy good as you can see from my stats (it has been very stable for a long while now, bearing in mind that my tank is 3 months old). The temperature is a constant 25 C, so no variable there. I think it is obviously...

I love looking after my fish but do get upset when disease strikes... We have had 2 bouts of mouth fungus in my tank recently, we treated the first outbreak 3 weeks ago and hoped it wouldnot happen again. However, it has come back to haunt us, is there any general points that would be helpful...

Hello all Just an update on the problem of mouth rot, the fish with the problem has unfortunatly died (I hate that fish do this, their so selfish) Im keeping my eye on the other fish to see whether there is ant effect on them PS Good discussion on carbon filtering, I must admit I had little...

Well the tank has been treated but I have questions... Can / should I do a water change in the near future or just leave the med to get on with it? How long will be filter media survive out of the filter (it is in tank water)?

Just added to my record list on sky+, on at the same time as LOST, what an unfortunate scheduling blunder!!!

Thank you again Emma I'm just about to start hoping that all will go well, lets hope the fish are fine... Ill update with results soon...

Thanks for the quick response... I only have the one tank so it is in there, the sick fish is a male platy, and there are 2 female platys and a mini sucking loach in there. The medicine is Interpet (number 8) - anti fungus and finrot, it is all i could come accross at this time off day. Also a...
