Thanks for your help guys :D it's 7:45 am here and I just saw 2 fry swimming around so hopefully they will make it :) Also, thing is I have 3 platies, 2 sucking loaches, 1 male guppie in my tank, which fish out of them is likerly to eat the fry? I dont know which 1 is the female one of them has...

Yep, start with 2 females and 1 male.

I reccomend you buy 2 males and 1 female, if you want to breed fish I would go for Platies & Guppies, they are realy easy to breed. My Platie has just given birth to 3 - 4 fry i'm not 100 % because there so tiny.

Hi all, Recently I have been doing a treatment to kill a parasite in my tank and today I was changing 50 % of the water when I found little Platies about 3 - 4 of them swimming around, they are so tiny and there hard to spot. Anyway it's 9p.m at the momment and no stores are open and I dont have...

I recommend you go buy some medicine called: Melafix this stuff will hopefully sort your problem out. It treats damaged fins and open wounds and bacteria.

No what I ment was, you do a 6 day course of the Protozin then do a 50 % water change and then at the other stuff. It was just to eliment any problems. I'm glad you got everything sorted :)

Maybe you could come and help me with my fish ;)

Just to inform you, today one of my fish died of bacteria. I went to my local place and they have gave me some treatment called: Melafix so if you have more fish dieing just after you treated your fish get this stuff it should sort out anymore problems.

I know hollybush, I plan to go there in future. At the momment I use Grassmere Gardens they are very good and are helping me sort out my illnesses and bacteria that Pets At home caused!

It was proberly the store Petsmart's fault. I use 2 buy my tropical fish from Pets at home in cannock but they dont have experts with tropical fish on as there staff. They just have staff that know nothing about tropical Fish. It's likely 1 of the Neon Tetras you buyed had a parasite and when...

Protozin treats a couple of fish illnesses, I still reccomend you buy some of this stuff and hopefully it will get rid of the parasite in your water.

No problems. I know how you feel, it started to realy annoy me. But yeah this stuff should do the trick. If I was you I would buy some of it and do 1 course and see if your fish look better, if you still have fish dieing do a second course. This will soon clear up what ever parasite you have in...

Sorry, well I started to notice my fish just sitting at the bottom of the tank, not moving at all. So I looked at the fish that was doing that and I couldern't Identify what was wrong with it. I went to the Garden Center, water life section and he checked the dead fish under a microscope. He...

Well, the guy who checked over one of my dead fish said he found a parasite, and it's common in Neon Tetras. He didn't give me a name he just told me that and he gave me what medicine to use and I did it for 6 days 1 cycle. If it is some sort of parasite, a water change might help but to kill...

The Water life place told me it's common in Neon tetras but this parasite can spead. Here's a list of fish it killed in my tank: 2 Guppies 1 sucking loach 7 Neon Tetras I recommend you to go to a water life place talk to the people that are experts at tropical fish. If there is a parasite in...

Well, My local place offers to have alook at dead fish under a microscope and it will find out how the fish had died. Well 2 weeks ago all my fish were dieing week after week after week, so I took one of my dead fish up to the place and they had alook at it under the microscope. They found a...
