I dont know what the 'mucky water' was. It was given to be from the shop. I changed 80% as thats what they told me to do. The tank has been set up for a couple of months now, but the nitrite levels have stayed at 0 all the way through until now.

Right. Ive given it an 80% water change, and added a bag of mucky water (which apparently is full of good bacteria)from the aquatics centre to my fish tank. What should i do now? Ive been told not to treat the fungus, as it will kill off some good bacteria which i need to fight the nitrite...

Right. Ive just done a water test in my tank, as my plec has gone really pale, and is looking miserable. It turns out that the nitrites have gone from 0 and shot up to 1.5 mg/l, which apparently is lethal. Ive checked all the fish, and they are all still alive, there isnt any dead plant matter...

Fantastic photos. Well done! :D

Hiya! :D

Hiya! Welcome to TFF. Everyone is really nice here. :D

Thankyou. What sort of size tank? 6ft? My tank is currently just over 4ft long..... he is 7 inches at the moment,

Bump for bloozoo2

Ok, lets try this picture. He is in the corner of the tank this time, so his head looks squashed! My camera was out of focus as well..... im not having much luck here.

He is not being very helpfull! Lol. This is not very clear as he was on the side glass when i took it, and i took it from the top looking down so his body looks squashed! I will try and get a better one tomorrow.

Right. You can either go to your local petshop, who will sell mite powders, or go to the vet who will find out exactly which mite it is, and treat it. Then you will need to clean out the cage before putting the hamster back in. Hope that helps.

Brilliant photos. I love puffers but dont know much about them, so i cant have them at the moment. Fantastic fish.

Ive had the tank for about 2 months now. So not long. Lights wise ive only got 2x38 watt tubes. What should i have? Thankyou for all the lovely repliess xxx

Thankyou. Its my biggest tank yet. Previously ive just kept guppys in smaller tanks. This one has: 1 Plec, 3 Rams, 16 neon tetras, 2 small angel fish, 6 peppered corys, 8 platys, and 6 swordtails in it so far..... i think. Hopefully the plants will fill out a bit soon. The tank hasn't...

Thankyou xx

Get your tank running, check its not leaking. Get the filter and heaters going. When it gets up to the correct heat (use a thermometer) then you can add some bacteria (you can get it from your local aquatic shop). Keep the tank running, and keep testing the water for ammonia, nitrites, and...

I will try my hardest! He is hiding at the moment.

Grrrrr the pictures shrunk!! Oh well. Hopefully it gives you some idea!

Or is he ment to look like this? I have only had him for a few days, and havent noticed it before. Sorry that the picture isnt very good. Sorry i forgot to say that it isnt fluffy round his mouth. Its quite smooth.

Thankyou

I was given it by a friend. It grows about an inch a day. Does anyone know what it is?
