When I got my Gourami I also brought another one as well. It was a Male Dwarf Gourami, about a week or so after it died, it curled up and it's previously white face was all brown (bruised) it lay in the corner and by the morning it was dead. :( Now I know not to get two gourami's as they may be...

A few of my guppy's had unexplained sudden deaths with shredded tails and I was recommended Anti Internal Bacteria treatment. Symptoms are, *Swollen Eyes (Popeye) *Open Sores (Ulcers) *Abdominal swelling (Dropsy) *Hollow Abdomen (emaciation) *Reddening/ Bloodstreaks under the skin surface...

Been to the fish shop today and they recommended a anti internal bacteria treatment. They also said if the guppy's had been dying sometimes other fish attack it to kill it faster. Might look into getting two or more Zebras as I really like them and it would be a shame to get rid of them as they...

So it could be the cory's? But they seem so peaceful! My yellow guppy used to be resting alot but the blue one used to swim around alot. I was thinking about getting rid of my Zebra's anyway because they always get the food and my gourami and cory's haven't had any since I got them. For the...

I use the store water but otherwise net them in, make sure you have a net!

Thanks to Davey Jones, how does your daughter solve the problem of feeding the other fish in the tank before the Zebras get it? None of my other fish seem to be getting much food. Thanks to The-Wolf, probably the best piece of advice so far.

I have a five inch gravel vac and I only vacum the open parts to get the debris out of the gravel, this works well. My bottom feeders normally clean the awkward bits for me.

Yea, I realise I thought it hadn't worked but afterwards I realised it had, sorry! Only the fin tail had gone and the first one was about a month before the others, then the last two died within 24hours of each other. All other fish have been checked throughly and have shown no signs of an illness.

I turn off everything and leave it for ten minutes otherwise the heater could crack because it wouldn't be heating any water. Maybe in the ten minutes you could remove plants, rocks, ornaments etc...

Recently I have had three guppy's die in my 70L (roughly 15.3 gallons) freshwater tank. The thing is they have all had shredded tails. This is very disturbing for me and I'd like to know if they were attacked and who by. Suspects, 4x Zebra Danio's - very active, seen to be 'chasing' the...

I have two gold snails and they are fine, they slide about on the rocks. I have plastic plants so they don't eat them and they help clean the glass.

Well my dwarf gourami is now dead, it was curled up in the corner breathing rapidly and it's normally white face was all blue and grey (bruised). I left it over night and it had died by the morning. :shout:

I have recently brought a powder blue and a dwarf gourami, i think they are both males. After reading the posts will they fight till death? Should I take one back? They are already showing some aggressive behaviour now and then towards each other, they are sort of trying to touch each others...

Just don't feed them for a couple of days. This happened to me and I found out that if fish eat loads it just passes straight through them and can pollute the water. Just do two 20% water changes per week and get your water tested if you can.

Just less than a month
