Phew Everyone is ok this morning. The shark is back to himself and so is everyone else. Mucho relieved and thankyou all for your advice

Thankyou for all your help. It is much appreciated. Hang on little guys

It is 'Interpet anti fungus and finrot. Aquarium treatment 8' Also do i need special salt? what would be best to keep everyone alive until the morning?

I was hurrying (always a stupid thing but parents were getting arsey) I believe i put in 20ML of finrot medicine into the 31 gallon tank. Working on the principle of 10ML to every 11 gallons but not wanting to put too much in. I have already done a second 1 gallon water change because i was...

only four fish are gasping. Also it was only one of the sponges and the sand substrate is full of bacteria(?) To be honest i havent done anything different except use the fin rot meds. The cloud minnows are more than a year old but the shark is only a baby (4ish months)

problems started with the jumping fish. one didnt go back into the tank because he was gone. but the other two have. I am feeling paranoid that i mis dosed the tank (used finrot medicine - sorry i forgot - a bit stressed here) but i double checked and i used the correct doseage. I did a 50%...

just realised my signiture is horribly innacurate although it is a 31 gallon tank. Stocking: 1 red tailed shark 5 guppy girls 2 platty girls 6 neons 6 minnows I borrow a water testing kit and i cant get hold of my mate tonite. ARGH this is horrible

Hi, I have been fishkeeping for 11 months and not had any major catastrophes. Tonight has been horrid. My favourite swordtail male jumped from the holding tank while i was cleaning and was chewed by the dog. A Female guppy tried the same and stripped all her scales on one side. A white cloud...

Hi, thanks for your help guys. His water is checking out ok and the holes I thought were there dont appear to be :S However he is getting on a bit so being v careful with his water and am keeping an extra eye on him. Many cheers Fishie x

Hi guys. Arnie my male Betta has got some holes in his fins. He is a veiltail and has not been in any fights. Also there is nothing sharp in his tank. Does a Betta's fins get more raggedy as they age? Cheers

Aloha, everybody! I lost one of my ickle panda cory's today and am most agrieved. He has been cremated and ashes scattered. I have decided I hate all my other fish and will be setting up a tank consisting exclusively of non-live-bearing fish. Platties, swordtails and guppies willl be leaving...

Ok, my seven guppies (4 red, 3 gold/yellow) are having gangs of new york style fights in the tank. They have always played nicely before, as far as i can tell nothing has changed in the tank. My solution is to transplant some of the guppies into another tank, will they be ok with a male betta...

The school science department has asked me to do something with their old tanks. (at least 7 with the smallest being 10g and the biggest at least 35g) I suggested that we could make a river style coldwater tank. At my disposal i have a big canister filter (from their failed marine setup) and a...

Hi, it looks like he has been bashed in the head. Its all red and raw. The female swordtail has a large white mark on her, which isnt fluffy and looks like a scald or burn. No-one else in the tank is affected. For other inmates see my signiture (its tank 1) I gtg for a driving lesson now but...
