Hi Two of my guppies look to have fungus around the mouth (no problem on this I can sort that out) One of my large cat fish is loosing his tail, and he has a large white spot on his back. (looks like the skin maybe coming off). I am thinking he's got the same fungus problem as the guppies as...

Hi Thanks for the info. My cat looks like his skin is wearing away, so i decided to put some blue in the medical tank. I just hope the blue does not hurt him like it did with my elephant nose fish. James

Hi My catfish doesn't look good. I have put him in to my medical tank which has the correct dose of methylene blue. Can the adverage cat fish take methylene blue?. Thanks James

The catfish is like this one http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/mocho...nodont/95_1.php What should the PH of the water be?. Thanks

I think my boyfriend has an ammonia kit - I'll test the water to see if it's ok. Cheers for the help. Sophie

Nope - his skin looks fine. Hopefully he will get better as the pH levels drop.

Not really sure - the skin looks ok underneath the flaky skin thats hanging off him.

My boyfriend is abroad at the moment and I'm looking after his tropical fish. Before he left he did a quick water change (1/4 of the tank) because nitrate levels were alittle high. I tested this 6hours later and the levels were fine. I then noticed that I was losing fish - guppies & mollies...

Hi I knew one of my mollies were expecting so I put her into a beading net. I woke up this morning to find the breading net full of babies. I scooped up the babies and put them in another net. While transferring them, I counted over 100 babies. I thought mollies layed about 30 babies?. I am...

Hi, Are L333's normally expensive? I have seen a 4" for £20. Is that cheap? If so, I may buy it :-) Thanks James

Hi The LFS where my friend works puts the betta's in tanks with non-fin nippers and not in these dumb small cups. Her Beta's sell very fast. I was looking at a Betta 2 months ago and saw a really nice one. By the time I went to ask for it, someone else beat me to it and brought it. Yes, I...

> Do you have space? You will need at least a 20 gallon grow out tank, and >hundreds of jars for when they are grown Thats fine. I brought a 20 gallon tank, heater, and small filter for the job. Jar's, not a problem. My Girl friend keeps all our jars as I am using them all the time. >Do you...

A few months ago, I brought a male beta. I recently brought 2 females betta's. They are in a community tank and they seem to be fine. Last night I decided I wanted to have a go at breading them. So I got 1 female and the male and put them in my breading tank that contains no other fish...

Hi, Thanks for the feed back. I too think it's a really nice fish. I found some info on the web and it says they like to live in groups. Should I buy one for?. The fisk costs £20 Thanks James

Hi, Sorry about that. Not sure what happened

Hi, I brought this CATFish. I cannot find any information on it. Do you know what it's called? Thankyou James

Thanks. I'd better find a new home for the grab Shame really, he's so interesting. James

Hi Someone gave me a rainbow crab. Should I worry about it eating my fish?. He's trimming my plants for me and eating the stalks. :lol: So far, the fish have eaten his food while he's eating and he just ignores them or puts his claw at them to say leave me along. He did eat two of my frogs...

Hi I have done a test on my tank. The ammonia chart starts off from a yellowish to dark green for high readings. My ammonia pills turn Red? Does this mean ammonia is sky high? Thanks James

One of my mates told me that his mate put a blue pill in the tank cos his fish were not randy enough. He wanted babies. Is this Crazy or what?. I think he's pulling my leg :lol:

My tank is at 30oc at the moment. Trying to get rid of white spot.

I expect so - They'll probably eat them :sick:

No worries. I am going to have to get a small tank just incase I have this issue again. That way I can put the elephant fish in that. I take it the elephant fish does not catch whitespot? James

The fish was dead when I got home. The white spot med looked liked it might have burned the fish's skin.

Hi Thanks for the reply's Water conditions are fine - Will post them up later when I get home Tank has been setup for 3 months. 3 Days ago, I brought 2 plec's. I think it must have come from them. James

It might be fin-rot :blink: I could be wrong though as I am new to this.

Just chop it's head off. Thats probably the best way.

Hi OK, I won't do anymore water changes Thanks James

I added a little (only small) bit of salt about 2 months ago. From now on, I will do a 25% water change everyday until the problem has gone - Does that sound good? Thanks James

Hi Thanks for the reply. I think it must be the med's. I will take it out and run it to my parents house. 30mile trip Thanks James

Hi In my earlier post, I explained that my tetra's have a bad dose of white spot. Now my elephant nose fish has a problem too. It looks like he has lost the top layer of his skin on both sides. I am not worried about the tetra's, but this fish is my main tank attraction. Everyone loves him...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes your correct I guess it will stress them more. 4 of them have died. I am treating the tank too. I went home at lunch and done a 50% water change. I also noticed my elephant nose fish is ill. His skin has pealed. Looks like he has had sun burn and the skin has...

Hi This morning I noticed all my Tetra's had white spot. They are covered with white salty looking spots. The other fish look fine... :crazy: I removed all the tetra's and put them in to a jar filled with tank water. (The water temp will drop during the day in the jar. I'll have to top it up...

Hi Just a quick question... If I buy some live blood worm, can I store it in a jar for a few weeks and give my fish some from time to time or will the red worm die? Thanks James

Hi, a couple of days ago, I brought an elephant fish. today its dead. It never came out behind the rocks until this morning when i saw it swimming. It was swimming as if nothing was wrong. This afternoon I noticed the other fish pecking at it so i put it in the breeding net. 10mins later it...

Hi, If your interested, I have made some video clips of my fish :P http://80.229.232.192

Hi, Thankyou for the advise. I got some of that stuff. It smells nice :lol: James

Hi, Thanks for the reply. What is Melafix?. I will have to get some. Fishs fins normally feel soft. His one felt really hard. Not sure if its due to the make of fish? James

I am sorry to hear your loss. If you can provide some test results someone maybe able to tell you whats up

Hi, On Saturday I brought 2 silver sharks. I used a fishnet to take them out of the bag to put them in my tank. I do not put the fish shops water in my tank as in the past it has coursed me problems. I scooped the fish in to the net as normal, however when I went to put him in the tank, his...
