Well... I've been doing daily water changes, and added fungus treatment... but upon closer inspection (after the 'fungus' clears up), it seems he's lost his eye! I really don't think the prospects are overly good given how important puffers' eyes are The fungus clears during the day but then...

Ok thanks. I'll try a 50% water change... would it be worth adding a little aquarium salt? I know puffers aren't too good with it...

I'm sure it was fine yesterday but I looked in my tank today to find my puffer hidden in the grass with this thing over it's eye? Which seems to have popped out and is covered in some sort of fungus?   I've had him 3 years or so, so really hope I can sort this out!     Tank size: 80L pH...

I've basically got the tank half filled with water and a small beach on the side made of gravel. Regardless of what PAO say, the crabs spend a lot of time on land - I'd say a good 50% of the time they are out on it chilling (with the mist maker running however). I've kept a few tricky pets over...

Yep, pets at home... notorious for lying to customers! Actually, apart from my Dwarf Puffers I don't think I've ever had any aquatic animals I bought there survive for more than a few weeks. From what I've read you shouldn't have more than one male in any group - I'm sure that's the problem...

Basically I set an old ~35-40l tank up with rocks, land area, shells/caves to hide, a mist maker, added a teaspoon of aquarium salt... but I've had no luck getting the crabs to live together peacefully. I bought six of them to go in the tank. Two have died already (not from fighting from what I...

Never listen to advice from pets at home! I always try to test them with riduclous questions to see how they respond. For example they claimed it would be OK to keep an OSCAR with my Angelfish in a 90 litre aquarium. It's sad really because Oscars are beautiful fish, yet they are probably being...

Oh my god really? I've just been inspecting them further and they definitely aren't the Hikari pellets as they 'explode' when I squeeze them but a shell remains. I just burst another now assuming it was a pellet and saw loads more of little 'brimeshrimp' type things float out...proving it wasn't...

Okay so I have a 90 litre tank with one Angelfish, and three panda cory's. I was just doing some maintenance when I noticed this empty circular shell floating on top - I thought nothing of it... assumed it was something that had fallen into the tank. So I look at the bottom and there's another...

Nope, I've checked around but there's nothing. I have a feeling every time I attempt to clean the gunk or replace the water it's making it even worse, and restarting whatever reaction is occurring So now i'm going to try to leave it untouched for a few days, perhaps a very small water change...

Well I'm currently trying to avert a disaster. I have 9 neons and 2 dwarf puffers in a 60l biorb, at the start of the week my cat must have knocked the 1litre bottle during the night, meaning it was left on it's side for a good 12-14 hours until noticed. By the time I'd picked it up, half the...

no aquarium salt no, but i do have sea salt/rock salt in the cupboard downstairs. i heard plants don't go too well with salt though? neither do guppies supposedly? i'll put the 2 ill ones in the container for pregnant fish and add about 1 spoonfull of salt, would that be okay?

i've just phoned my parents now - the test kits are something like £7-8 and my parents can't really grasp the fact diseases spread like wildfire in tanks so they'd probably just prefer to wait for those 2 fish to die than get a kit (but as a result it could take out my whole tank) i think they...

Only the orange one has the wispy threads, and it's only on the top of him - I was thinking it could be because he's at the top of the tank alot...i think he finds it hard to get air with the top of his mouth gone and all :/ I have a little dilemma about putting the angel back in the other...

Tank size: Around 9-10 Gallon I think... pH: unknown ammonia: I had a water sample tested 2-3 days after it was changed at a pet store - they said the water condition was perfect. nitrite: unknown nitrate: unknown kH: " gH: " tank temp: 78-80 Fish Symptoms: first guppie was blue, then around 2...

So a few months ago, my fathers tank downstairs had some epidemic, all his fish got wiped out except for one...so he decided to put it in my tank, which as a result wiped out all my fish minus the sucking loach! After that, I lost interest in the tank and let it deteriorate, and it became dirty...
