Water was also cloudy, just done a 50% water change and shrimp are now back on the bottom

Changed my water again yesterday, no one died this time but they are all clinging on the surface!!   I've increase surface agitation but what do i do? surely the new water is more oxygenated than the week old one?

    Java Ferns/Amazon Swords and Anubias. They are the only plants I've ever managed to grow

Alot of my shrimp died recently after water changes.   So I've given them a nice new large hiding place until i get some new plants       What do you lot thinks?

Good morning and thanks for the ideas.   Well I have woke up to no more deaths and no shrimp swimming around. HOWEVER My assassin snails are right on the waters edge at the top of the tank.   Asked my mum and she hasn't touched anything apart from food tub (she doesn't like touching the food, it...

OK so left my shrimp in my mums care for a week while i was away, large water change a week before that.   Got home yesterday, all shrimp looking fine but alot of water had been lost due to evaporation.   So i topped up the water as i always do with dechlorinater. Woke up this morning to find...

Hello,   I have just had a birth of 20+ new shrimp who are tiny.    My tank has been on my window for a couple of days and is covered in green algae on the glass. so needs to be cleaned. Whats the best way to do this without catching the tiny shrimp and killing them of?

Hi Guys and Gals,   I'm in need of some advice. I have just finally got a job as a science teacher and the rooms are far too boring for my liking and not very scientific. I would call them clinical.   I have asked if I can have some plants and some animals. Now up to now I have got some ideas...

I urgently need to get rid of a tank so my Blue Betta has to go

Should I buy another or is an Angel ok on their own?

I was gutted because they both looked so majestic together

I have none of those things can I just put it in cling film and hit its head area with hammer (obviously not in sadist way) It is done :'( After I read this i chose my sharpest knife and did it quick http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/8031-euthanasia-of-fish/

I Have an Angel who is lying on their side on bottom of tank and cant stay up. Me thinks it has the swim bladder parasite and will ultimately die. Should I just take them out of the tank and do the deed? Or should I keep trying with large water changes?

OK my stats are as follows Ammonia 1.0ppm Nitrite 0.25ppm Nitrate 0ppm How long have I got left till i can put fish in

Here it is temporarily set up Goldies are in whilst girlfriend cleans her tank

It was his tank that inspired me and when he said if i wanted the contents i said yes

Thanks for all the advice guys. My friend is doing daily checks (I'm going to run out of teabags) with his bottles and chart. He has also added a sponge from his tank into my filter as he said that would speed things up. He also said to ask you lot if I should use his stones as well as mine...

So my friend is helping me who created this account but has given it me for the minute. I have today gone and bought a 125L Tank with his help we set up the stand and cleaned the gravel, added an air stone, added some tank safe and ammonia (He tells me I need to do this, I can't remember why...

Hello, even though I may not look like a new guy due to post count I am. My friend has given up fish keeping and has given me this account just to get me started and rather than set up another account I thought i'd come here just to ask a few questions. So I apologise beforehand on numerous...

Cheers, what type of fish are pencilfish for future reference?

Caught my pencil fish this morning rubbing against each other and the two that were doing it were bright red. i have never seen this before. What do i do? should i set up my small tank and put them in there? will they lay eggs or live breed?

26 iirc

Its a plastic plant?

Came back after a weekend, as I always do. Walked into my room checked both my tanks. In my second tank there is a grey like substance surrounding the air stone and I have 2 cooked/dead shrimp. The other shrimp also have black in there bodies. In the tank are several cherry shrimp, few amano...

After a month of loses (1 Betta, some shrimps) I thought I'd be best to close down my small betta/shrimp tank. So I moved my Betta Cambodia and Shrimp into my number2 tank, then moved my pencilfish and betta into number 1 tank. However I swapped the stones over and put all my real plants into...

OK ive got food bags and ive got all my big shrimp in but i cant get my juveniles

I have no bags though

How do I move my cherry shrimp without shocking them? From a set up tank to a set up tank, which has just had a large water change?

They are not all dead I noticed something moving last night in corner of my eye so switched the light on.... 3 full grown shrimp (possibly the sakura that were in there) and 9 tiny baby cherrys. Well chuffed

Is my tank experiment viable is what Im asking? Im thinking about getting a custom built fish tank. Dimensions would be approximately W24 x H18 x D18 But my idea was to have a sump at the back using up three inch so actual fish tank would be W24 x H18 x D15 This would be split into 2 and...
