Hi Everyone, I am having a few problems with some of my cardinals and am looking for some expert advice. I am concerned my fish may have neon tetra disease but as I have never seen it before I am not convinced. Fish 1, At first I noticed he had a red lump on his underside and his gills were a...

Hiya, Thanks for the advice but the fish died the next morning. The tank is cycled, no ammonia, nitrites etc. It was either move it to here or it would have been bullied and pecked to death as I have got rid of my smaller tank. Tried to feed it shelled peas, it wouldnt eat, but the other...

I have a beautiful blue dwarf gourami, I got him this week. Today I looked in the tank and he is sitting on the bottom at 45 degree angle. He swam up to the surface relatively ok, I have cought him and put him in the fry trap. Theres fry in the bottom. e is just sat in there resting at 45...

Thanks, im glad I am not the only one who has done this. Although I hope i dont do it again. Think I was so busy setting up my new tank I didnt realise. Good tip about the bags of water! thanks. x

Hi Everyone, I wondered if you could offer me some advice please? Two days ago I bought a male and female dwarf gourami. My lfs is usually quite good and I said i just wanted a pair of them. Didnt check them as I should have. When I got home my boyfriend noticed the male didnt have any pevic...

Thanks, They are looking ok so far! except the female gourami ;( fingers crossed. z

Well, I have a 63 litre community tank that has been up and running a while now. On monday I picked up a second hand 3ft tank. Its had quite a few fish in it already. When we were setting the new tank up I borrowed the heater out of my smaller tank to put in the bucket with the new fish in...

is trying to identify the little fry she mysteriously aquired.;)

His dorsal fin is more the shape of the badis I have just googled. Its also jagged/spikey all the way along. I will try and get back to the lfs this weekend to see what they have in the shop to get a better idea. If not I will take some pics when he is a bit bigger which will make it easier to...

Thanks Guys, How soon does he have to go? Is this a definate or does it depend what he is? He is only teeny at the moment smaller than my small cardinals I just bought so will be ok for a while until i rehome him. I can always take him back to the lfs, I may pop in this weekend and try and...

Multifaciatus (aka. Multi's, Shellies or Banded Shell Dweller) What do you think could it be this?

Out of them it looks most like the blue colbalt zebra one. But I cant say exactly as the colours on my little guy are different, he does have a blue tinge on his dorsal fin but not on his body. They did have some fish like this in the front of the shop. The names were long but I think it may...

Haha, dont I am already considering getting a new community tank! I dont need encouragement.lol! x

I have taken some pics, il put them on now, he looks like his stripes are possibly brown and yellowish. x

I will try and get a better pic, thanks. Perhaps they had them in the tank before the cardinals. Obviously the guy didnt see it in the bag and I didnt check it until I got home and a surprise. They are quite a good family run lfs. How long do you think i could keep him before i rehome him? Do...
