yes the aeration was increased with the air stone. but surely 6 plants and some water movement would be enough anyway. The gourami died yesterday btw. The caes are fine atm, in 6 months im getting a 25 gallon tank at my new house so they will go there. Any idea what is causing these deaths?

Tank size: 12UK gallon pH: 8.0 ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 40 kH: na - but i think a bit on the hard side gH: na tank temp: 25oC Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): All my fish are dying unexplainably - sort of. Did have finrot, but...

What other fish do you have in there? Because 2 have now died, you could be right about the 'bad batch' theory - if the other fish are acting completely fine. If the water is turning a bit cloudy, it's prob just due to the larger water changes stirring up muck, unless you have added any meds...

ok lol: current situation: angel, 2 loaches, platy, 4 guppies in big tank. 2 guppies had tails nipped but both are almost healthy again, after treatment of melafix for 3 days with 25% water changes every day along with the redosing of melafix. The nipper was a male dwarf gourami, who has been...

ok, yeah he still acts fine, and i have caes in there with him, but both are only 6 months old

dunno if this may be of any help to you, but is a pic of mine let me know if this is what you have

i have a 1 inch diameter pump but since i got a larger tank i need a bigger end suction thing to get it all cleaned better. can i just add a filter end cone type thing to the end of my existing one that is removeable and put a rubber strip around the 1 inch end to seal it. i'd like it...

I would like to know the answer to this too - i think i have the same thing - just a bit of blood on one side at the joint between body and fin. any help appreciated in fact, i have even the same tank! the nitrates i'm sure you'd need to check, but mine are only 25 ish, which shouldnt be a problem

yeah they are females. one is sulking about a lot tho even more. hopefully she'll be ok tho. Do i need to do water changes every day and re dose with the water change in the appropriate amount, or do i just leave it, as thats what the instructions say for 7 days, then do a water change and re...

sorry didn't mean to offend anyone! they have been separated now and treated with anti fungus and finrot antibiotics - even though one really doesn'y look happy there when she was before let you know if its succesful! thanks for the help btw oh and the reddy one does have ventrals, they are...

i suggest cutting down on the food, what you think is enough is probably too much. also i think peas work as someone said, but in my experience there is little evidence, and a lot of fish turn their noses up at peas

to be honest, you will often get some fish who will die soon after addition to a tank. Correct me if i'm wrong, ppl, but I think this is due to stress during transit from the shop to the new home To reduce fish loss in a new aquarium i suggest trying to keep the bag warmer on the way to the new...

only 2 bettas with 4 guppies, there were 4 a short while ago though and they get along fine - i have had them for over a year and both are now pretty much adults and 2 guppies are a little ripped - but theyre so fast you cant get a good pic ! 1 has had his split improved remarkably since...

i have 2 in my bedroom, one by the computer and one in the hall

pics:might not b able to see v well the grey bits on the red one, but there are slightish bits thereanother oneand the red one

1. yes i do mean algae eaters 2. the male betta died shortly before i got home with meds 3. have added melafix to main tank to treat 3 fish, all with nipped fins fromthe gourami, who will be separated tonight once the other tank is clean. 4. One female betta who bred was barely harmed at all...

ok the female betta had died, but the male hasn't. getting some meds 2day. the angels, guppies and betta have been fine together for months so thats not an issue, even the platy is best friends with the angel. The gourami has just suddenly become annoying. So ill do what you said and put the...

as previously mentioned, i had a sick male betta - suspected fin rot. No3, no2 - 20 and 0 dunno ammonia kh 16 gh 6 didn't manage to get any meds today as all 5 lfss were shut! in other news... another female betta had his fins nipped by (i think) a gourami (who is now in a breeding net until...

will do

thnks 4 the help btw, really appreciate it

and yes did a 15% earlier and 25% just now

no seems ok going up when he wants, should i put the net in there for him neway? its just that if any fish has gone to the bottom b4 with me they have died soon after...and yes did a 15% change earlier, and 25% just now

he's lying on the floor now... maybe wont need the meds :(

the flow is as low as it will go. spose i can put the ornament directly in front to stop flow so much so should i get meds for a few days, in the meantime get some melafix, if no improvement with meds give melafix? not that i would let him go like it, but how long roughly before he would die...

yeah think i will, pretty convinced seen as his fins are tatty all over not just in one place.

yeah gd idea. also, dunno if it might do anything - but would the filter have harmed him? its v small but does blow him about a bit in the 3 gallon tank also should i get melafix or something specifically for fin rot - anti bacterial summin or other, coz the shop sold me the old melafix last...

if nitrite is NO2 then its 0 mg/l no3 is around 20 mg/l don't know ammonia, dont have a test kit 4 that, but ive never rlly had a prob b4 when i did have a test kit for that just doing another test now. there wasnt salt b4 in water until last night, so im doing another water change adding no salt

Tank size: pH: ammonia: nitrite: -----> can't remem which one is which, nitrate or nitrite - one is 20, one is 0 nitrate: kH: 15 gH: 8 tank temp: 26 Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): his fin's are completely ratty - not full bodied...

yeah id like to know too. also i already have a culture of daphnia - of the smaller type, will they be edible? i also have a limited amount of BBS.

had them, they hatched fine and this morning he was looking after them perfectly. Came home earlier and he had destroyed the nest and eaten virtually all the new babies. :-( There are literally a few unhatched eggs left and i have noticed one or 2 fry on the bottom alive. Taken dad out so he...

in Uk gallons, females in 12, male breeding in a 4

mummy and daddy - dads pic doesnt do him justice - when fully spread fins he's rlly impressive - the best coloured one out of the 6 males ive kept before also bear in mind that shes recovering from having the eggs andhe doesnt like me getting anywhere near him for photos with his nests - he...

ok cool, should be hatching tonight, let you know on progress! :D

i think they should have night vision goggles! lol i don't have another male but i think everythings ok now: he's been busy overnight building a completely new nest in the other corner, leaving the other one behind. he's transferred all the eggs over too and is having a break before the fun...
