How long ago (if at all) did she give birth?

just for info - i only changed the filter and block after i lost the fish oh well a nasty learning curve, but thanks to everyone for your help!

I would post this in the emergencies part

if its the one in the northwest DONT USE IT. My father got some guppies from them and they were bad fish, they killed all of his tank.

I yes did use dechlorinator and YES i have changed brands recently due to the fish store I used to go to going out of business. No air freashers near the tank, any polish used is sprayed onto the cloth outside the room then used inside the room (if you can follow that) I have since got new...

sorry miss spelling by me on that one! I did have an old fluval filter, I cleaned it by using some old tank water in a bowl. I did a change about 4 days before the loss (i think)

i have been away testing the race car for a few days and left the fish wit weekend food, I suspect thats whats happened myself. still gutted though

sadly I am soooooo sad I have the power inlet for the pump and the heater atteched to my pc, they have both been monitored in the last 24 hours and nothing untoward is being shown!

no i didnt the filter appears to have "crashed" therefore not worth keeping as it would have infected my new setup!

about 4 or five days

i dont know much but if i were you i would take the snails out in case they have died and are infecting the tank more again I am UNSURE but it would be wot i would do

the names dave btw I dunno wot to go for this time around or how soon to populate the tank..........

to answer InaneCathode - I probably will never find out what happened since the water was dumped over 24 hours ago, all filters etc were binnde and went out with the xmas stuff to the tip! but my nitrates where high - probably the cause I think Tolak - Today, I replaced 100% of the water (and...

I know how you feel watching your tank die, mine did it early this week, its really upsetting I know, but if the worst happens dont give up on the hobby, hope you dont loose them all.

Since all my fish died I have started over. Old Stuff: 35 litre (7.5 gall) tank New: Gravel Fluval 1 Plus Filter air stone air pipe air pump and after advice on here: Freshwater master test kit now then - question time (dont ya just love it) I have treated the water with : Interpet Filter...

I did read the notes yes! I wont be re-stocking for quite some time, spent some money i dont have and bought a new filter, so back to the start for me

the tanks been running fine since april 2005 and then suddlen this!! I ahve started again as i mentioned with the tank currently filtering a salty water solution to kill anything off that may still be hanging around.

thanks for the quick reply stats from xmas day - (bet ya cant guess what I got for a pressie) nitrate 2 nitrite 3 ph - 7.0 amonia - 5 no kiddies in the house, no changes to the tank other than the usual water top up/change (2 litres and was at room temp and treated with Tetra Aqua Aqua Safe)

Well I have lost the **************** lot. went out last night for a beer, all fish happy, eating, swimming around fine. got in this morning from my friends, ALL fish dead. some floating, others not floating. Neons, Guppies, plecs, and corydoras all dead. no power outages as my pc is feed...

thanx fella but she lost the fight for life some point last night, should i still treat the tank though?

they are neon tetras. The wound doesnt look that bad, its just the middle of the tail I have a photo of it now. it is a bad photo but it dows its not effecting the body of the fish but it is a sizable chunk

I have a female guppie, whoms getting on a bit now, she has today whilst I have been out had a chunk taken out of her tail. this is what I have in the tank 2 Male Guppies 4 Female Guppies 5 pepperd corys 6 tetras now I cnt see anything she would have gotten hurt on in the tank or any of the...

before i could even treat him the red mark has been disappearing! hes swimming around happily now but sadly i lost one of my guppies!

well I have found the problem My father has added a small stone into the tank which has a very sharp edge to it. I now know this cuase i just spent the last three hours in the a&e department! now I have two fish hurt by this rock (which has been removed) sadly one was a male guppie whom lost...

got a photo if you need to see iti can email it, [email protected]

heres my water tests: ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5, ph 7.4 i got a look at him and it looks like a cut cause when you view him from the rear you can knida see into it, cant get a photo of the wee beastie he moves too quaickly, should i put him in a floating tank on his own?

One of my two corys is hurt, he has a red mark behind his pectrol fin (lowest fin that he has) toward the rear of his body, going from behind what I think is his belly in a vertical line to his top fin. on other side he has a very red belly. he is eating and swimming around ok and still...

I have noticed over the past few days all of my fish swimming at a angle! they all swim at a slight angle from the front of the fish the top of the fish is off to the left and the bottom towards the bottom...............any ideas?

fine i wont go to sle........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

well hes following the biggest one around falhing he tail at her but me being a concerned arent i keep disturbng them by feeding em

I have the following guppies: 1 full grown male 2x3month old females 1x4month old female the male guppie was added 24hours ago, so I am wondering how long until they get frisky?

i watch it at night to help me sleepy!

Well since my last post I have lost another 4 fish. bit of a disaster really, but I havnet lost one in 24hours, and they are feeding again now with avengence. I think either I was overstocked or the virus or what ever has passed

i just tested the water again after a 20% water change and the ammonia is tad darker than the lightest indicator (just by a fraction) lowest is 0ppm next is 0.25 Dad said to me he tested it three days ago and it was at .50 :dunno: me all confused now!!!

due to the space restraints in my home i cannot go for a bigger tank, bearing in mind i like the corys what you would have could this be ammonia posioning?

i dont like doing it but the local pet shop said they would take the guppies off me would i be better balanced then? then i would have: 8 tetras 3 corys

details are in the signature and its been setup since the date I joined the forum - 2 April its a 37 Litre tank

been doing 10% every other day, I lost another tetra who was agin in the filter, had some scum on the water surface and they ont seem to be at the top as much, but other than water change is their anything i can do?
