Unfortunately my little neon got so bad, I had to euthenise him. His bent spine is quite clear now.

Thank you. I have a female swordtail who I rescued from a tiny tank. She's constantly going up to the surface and gasping for air. She did have white poop a few months ago but obviously I had no clue what I could do to help her. She eats and swims around perfectly fine and her colours are very...

10 nitrates, 0 nitrites, sorry. He died a few days after doing a water change, not when I did it.

Do you think my fish might've had a heart attack as well? I don't think the fish died because of the water change, but I dont notice any difference in their behaviour. People didnt agree with me when I said my reasoning for not doing water changes. My test strips don't say anything about...

I explained why I haven't been doing water changes in a different post. Yes I did add water conditioner, it was saying 0 chlorine. Yes sorry I meant 10 nitrates, 0 nitrites One fish does gasp for air quite a bit. I'm not sure why as none of the other fish do this. Saying that, I've noticed...

One of my very healthy guppies has passed away overnight. I have no idea why or how as all the other fish are still thriving. I did get them from a pet shop, could that be why? I'm not sure how ethical it is. He's still very colourful meaning it would've been a recent death. I'm struggling to...

I don't have a quarantine tank sadly. There are no other neons so he shouldn't pass it on to anyone? Also how do I scoop up a tiny, skittish little neon?

Yes I have. Many times. Is that the reason the eel is always going up the side of the glass? Because he wants friends? Thought it was just because he was hungry. I don't know where he came from or what I can do with him if I need to rehome him.

...I've had them all for almost 4 years and they've all been fine like this. The spiny eel is 5-6 years old and has always lived by himself. The red phantoms have always lived in a group of 3. The swordtail was a rescue. I dont know how old she is but probably around 3-4. She came from a...

But I have so many plants, why would the nitrates be a problem? Don't the plants need food?

Before I did a water change the results said 0-10 nitrates. Its only gone up since I did a water change. I've heard the water testing kit is good but it's also £50...

At first it says 10, but 3 seconds later its closer to 25.

The nitrates are around 10, not very high I thought?

The strips are terrible. They dont give me the correct result. It's now saying the fish water is 10-25 nitrates, 0 nitrites. Tap water is 0-10 nitrates, 0-0.5 nitrites.

It wasn't high before I did a water change. It was around 10 before.
