Sorry I'm new to this so not sure what you're asking :blush: We didn't notice anything wrong, we just saw some baby fish, and then noticed the platy dead in the plants :(

OK thank you :) Think I've solved the mystery of which fish had the babies :( found one of our platies dead in the plants, and we only had 4 babies so I assuming died in birth so to speak :(

Its 65 litre

We have baby fishies!!! We have a community tank of 3 mollys, 2 platies, 1 guppy, 7 tetras and 2 others that I don't know the technical name for :blush: Tonight we have noticed we have 4 babies! We think it is our platy thats had them but not sure, the mollys are a new addition and we might...

Phew thanks for that was starting to panic and googling like crazy LOL

Can anyone help? We've done a big big water change tonight because the ammonia levels were mega high, and now the tank is full of what looks like oxygen bubbles - what does this mean?

We have a aqua one 102f maxi internal filter, and we have a 65 litre tank. We have 6 platys in there atm.

Im rubbish at this fish thing! We're trying to cycle our tank with fish, and having a mare and a half. My husband just tried to check the filter and a load of crap has just dropped out of the filter and into the tank argh!!! The water is disgusting now with all stuff floating about in it. What...

OK just tested and ammonia is still showing high - 1.0 atm :S

Thanks for your replies! We have an API master test kit, which is apparently a good one? We have got some ammolock and my husband has been using that, putting it directly in the tank. I have a feeling that's not the right thing to be doing though? The orange coloured fish is the one doing the...

Awww how can anyone do that to living breathing things :angry: Im so disappointed by the human race sometimes! Good on you for rescuing them :good: glad they have picked up for you xx

Hey Miss Wiggle :blush: I did think she meant was my tap water the colour of pee LOL stupid woman I am. We are cycling with fish. I wasn't clued up on fishless cycling when I set the tank up as my internet access has only been sporadic lately. When I bought my tank, I was told by the LFS to...

We've been running our new tank for 4 weeks, trying to cycle it. We're managed to get nitrite 0 and nitrate to more or less between 0 and 0.5, but the ammonia has been stuck on 0.25. We've tested the tap water today and the reading we are getting from our tank, 0.25 ammonia, is what is coming...

Thanks for the advice, I havent been online for a while, still waiting on my powercable and Ive borrowed my mother in laws lappy! I do research on the net when I have it at my disposal. I was told by the local fish shop that they wouldnt advise on changing the water, just to leave it level the...

Hi, newbie here :) I've been reading here just now and I am totally gobsmacked at the lack of info given to me by my local fish shops!!!!! There are 3 locally. Pets-at-home, who was only interested in selling us a massive tank when we wanted to start small, so they lost our custom straight...
