I have 2 large cardinals which are about 3 years old, fully grown, I got 6 more in October and 3 of these 6 have whitish growths, 1 on its mouth(the largest growth) one on its side and one on its back. They are all acting as normal and I do water changes every 4-5 days anyway so I’m confident in...

What would you recommend as a general treatment?

I used melafix, is that bad?

I noticed this morning that 2 of my cardinal tetras appear to have small tumour like lumps below their mouth, is this something serious that I should be worried about? They seem fine still eating and swimming happily

I’m not sure what type of rock It is, they were just from pets at home. Thanks for your message, I think I’ll do a large water change tomorrow and limit feeding to reduce the nutrients.

Water is all good however it does seem to have gone slightly harder over the past week or so. Fish are all good, eating and moving as normal. I think I’ll remove the rocks to prevent the water changing to drastically and I’ll clean that filter too! I don’t mind algae either I just wasn’t sure if...

Oh, they’ve been in there for around 3 months, would it take that long for them to begin leaching?

The Lake District, U.K.

a small amount of white fuzzy looking algae has started to accumulate on some of my plants and around the intake of the filter. I recently re-aranged the plants and rocks to better suite the fish and I’m just wondering if this might be the cause, any help is appreciated

Hey I had a few cpds a couple years ago, mine always seemed to be moving quickly, I presumed mating/playing. It wasn’t heavily planted so I guess it was always visible to me. As long as your water is fine I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about. I think I had 4 females and 3 males and everyone...

It’s a panda gara, thanks though :)

Yeah I just installed a more powerful filter and the panda gara and orange eyed lemon tetras are loving it. Thanks for your advice I think I’ll leave it for now as everyone seems happy :)

Ok thanks for all the detail I appreciate it. With these 2 in my tank as well as 12 tetras and a panda gara would it my stocked to the max?

Are honey gouramis and dwarf gouramis not the same? I was thinking of a honey gourami anyway, would it be better to get 1 or 2

Okay thanks a lot. Would you recommend 1 or a pair, and would this mean my tank is fully stocked

I’m pretty sure it’s soft, at about 45mg/l

I have a 65l planted tank currently stocked with 6 cardinal tetras, 6 orange eye lemon tetra and a panda gara. Do you think I’m fully stocked or is there any room for more? It’s been running for well over a year and I’ve had no problems so far I was thinking about a dwarf gourami or maybe a...

Thank you!

Heya, this is my first post so not sure if I’ve done it right! I was just wondering if anyone could identify the fish in the picture (I know it’s not great but he/she is speedy!) I’ve had it for about 2 years and it’s roughly tripled in size to around 3 inches thanks :)
