surface

I have 6 fish in my tank, 3 guppies and 2 balloon mollies. However, since last night, I’ve noticed they’re all swimming around at the surface of the tank. Particularly the guppies. I’ve got no clue why because I have a pump that sprays bubbles so I’m sure there is enough oxygen in there for...

Hi, I am quite new to the hobby and slowly built the first tank over the last months and I am a bit concerned with my Julii corys. Since 3/4f days 4 out of the 5 we have started behaving in a really strange way, spending all time either sleeping on the top of leaves (close to the surface) or...

Hello, new to this forum.   I have a 19l tank which I've had for about 5 months. I've got 3 X-Ray Tetras, 3 Red Platys and a Pleco.   Yesterday I 'renovated' my tank - added some new plants and some more gravel to stop them from uprooting. I took about 80% of the tank's water out so I could do...

Hi I am still setting up and not yet started my cycle. Waiting on a test kit which I might get tomorrow. I have my filter (fluval U2) set up. At the moment it is completely submerged and I have it set to the middle spray bar. This obviously creates a slight current in the water and if I...
