Hello all, hope you are all well, Our 2 black mollies have what looks like white spot(fuzzy cottonwool type things attached to them), we have read that in order for these pesky things to fall off before treatment you have to increase water temperture by a few degrees. our heater is set at 22c...

Hiya All, Bit of a thicko question but here goes! I want to give my lil' plecs some tasty treats like cucumber, veggies etc. Do i have to treat the veggies ie blanch them,dip em in de chlorinator etc before i feed em to me kids :S Cheers all

Cheers for that,we feed them flake food in the morning and then a frozen worm cube thing at night.we also give them brine shrimp a couple of times a week.

Hiya, our 2 para plecos do like to have a good ole scrap every now n then :( fortunately they dont appear to do much damage to each other, one is bigger than the other,but have'nt a clue if they are different sexes!! :S

Hi all, probably a thicko question! but am new to this tropical fish lark,can you buy covers for internal filters? as the liltle neon tetras keep getting sucked to the filters side every now n again :sad:

One of my fantail guppies looks like it has finrot,so I added some finrot cure stuff and did it how the instructions said(cant remeber the amount now but was v small) anyway,all the other fishes started swimming v bizarrely and looked very dead. Me and me other half did a very swift water...
