Ok so technically this isn't an emergency now as the fish died, but it could be if it was something that was going to harm the other fish! We have been treating the tank for fungus for a few weeks now, I think we've done 3 lots of treatment in all, as our Angelfish has had fungus on his top...

Our Angels and Guppies come up and peck at ur finger or hand if its in the tank! Scared me at first when I was in there changing the filter sponges! But its quite sweet now! Bless em.

Our Angelfish recently decided to start attacking the neons, I think he's just got to the size where he can, so he will! But I too was posed with the question of how to put the neons out of their misery, as some were just floating around, yet still alive and I couldn't leave them! I used the...

Ok thanks, I was going to get a heater, but then read its dangerous in very small tanks! I'm from UK. I'll have a look at the lfs and find a small heater, shouldn't be too expensive hopefully! Spent so much money on the main tank!

I am wanting to get a betta, and have got a spare 25 litre tank, which I worked out is 5.5 Uk gallons (I think!) I posted inthe betta section earlier, although didn't get replies, but have since found out some of the stuff I wanted to know! I read that a tank under 5 gallons, can't be heated...

I would like to get a betta, as have been reading around and have always liked looking at them in the lfs! I used to have one as a child called Sapphire! Anyway I didn't realise they could live in such a small tank! I have a spare 25 litre hexangonal tank which used to house my goldfish. So...

Just looked at this. Looks pretty cool! Few questions though! What fish can go in this? What would you recommend? Also if I buy plants from my lfs can I put them straight in? Am a bit wary of plants, as we moved our shrimp out of the main tank due to white spot treatment, the store said put...

Yeah thought that might be the case. How long should I wait before starting again?

Oh rite yeah its in the same bottle, so I thought they were similar. Is it ok to carry on for another 5 days without doing a water change? They have myxazin added for the last 5 days with no water change, so will it build up to much? Is it better to do a water change first?

I asked about that in the shop, as I was asking for the 2 meds, they said I shouldn't use the 2 together anyway. So is it ok to use both? I also thought I read somewhere that the pimafix can be used with melafix? If I add myxazin and pimafix should I do it for another 5 days, as of tomorrow...

Ok so you may have read my previous topics on what originally we thought was white spot on my angelfish. Then some of the neons developed a mouth fungus, and the angels spots started to look fluffy rather than salt like. So I changed the treatment to myxazin to treat for fungus. It's a 5 day...

Yeah ours are quite big now, and our angels were very small, which is why the shop said they would be fine together! We have 2 marble angels as well who are very placid and don't bother any fish, but this one is a white/grey coloured angel. So I guess it does depend on the fish. I guess it's...

Well I did think that maybe the angel has reached its "adult" phase, but although they have grown since we got them, he hasn't grown very much recently, so I was just a bit confused by his sudden liking to neons! Also I don't think he can fit the neon in his mouth, he was nipping at its tail...

Although I am relatively new to fih keeping, we kept fish when I was little and I have always had the belief that Angelfish are not at all angelic and can be quite vicious, so when me and my partner were stocking our tank I wasn't keen to get any! However he wanted some larger fish rather than...

ok thanks!

Does anyone know roughly how much one of these would cost?

What type of shrimp is that?

Ok, will go to the pet shop tomorrow and hopefully they will sell it, as our lfs is about 30min drive away and I don't have time to go in the week! The fish tank is at my boyfriends house, and I won't be there again until Friday. Will it be ok to wait until Friday to start the new meds? It's...

Ok will turn down temp. I dont have any bacterial meds, all I have is melafix and the white spot treatment. I can go and try to get the pimafix though. Do I need to use pimafix on its own, or can I use melafix with it? I will carry on with melafix until I get pimafix. Is there anything else...

Should I use both of those treatments you said, or just one? If so which one would be best? Do you think I should start with treatment for columnaris straight away and abandon the melafix for now? If so will I need to do a water change before adding the new med to get rid of the melafix? I...

Yeah we tried to get some good pics, but unfortunatly the fish got very stressed and went really pale with fright, so we stopped trying! The spots started off with just 2 or 3 tiny spots on his fin, then more came all in a line, and now they are joined which you can sort of see from the pic...

Ok the files are really large, as for some reason my boyfriends digi cam takeshuge file sized pics! I've tried to cut it down, hopefully this will work, I've just tried the one pic, as like I said I dont know if they will be any use! You can see on the one of his whole body that there are no...

Well the pics that we managed to get of the angelfish are not very clear, how do you guys get the pics so good? How do I add a pic? Been trying but can't seem to get it to work! We only stopped treating whitespot on Sunday, started melafix last night. The spots got worse whilst still treating...

Well we were using a whitespot treatment containing the melachite green stuff, don't know the exact name as it got ripped off the bottle! We used for just over a week, with no improvement at all, and so the shop said to stop treating with it, and use melafix for a week to see if that improves...

What's ntd? Never come across that term before, sorry if I'm sounding silly! The other neons are all still acting normally, I think the mouth spots are shrinking/going, as they are definatly not as pronounced as they were at the weekend. The angels "whitespot" is looking more like a fungus...

The neon that looked very poorly sadly died yesterday, though the morning after my comments on this post his red was faded and he had left the group, so I guessed he might not make it much longer. The lfs asked me to take a couple of the worst neons in a bag so they could look at them, and they...

I'm currently treating whitespot in my tank with some med that contains mechalite green, although do not know the name as it got ripped off as the tape sealing the bottle was on it! My neons now are displaying some symptoms of a bacterial problem, which I've been told is common when treating...

Yeah it doesn't seem like they are reacting to the whitespot med at all, which is good. So if I change the whitespot med to the esha one I could treat the bacterial probs at the same time? Are the meds effective? The med I'm using at the mo has the mehalite green in it, although the name of...

I think the tank has enough aeration, as we have an air bubble pump in there, and no fish are gasping at surface or anything. We currently don't have plants, but was advised to wait until treatment is finished before adding any. If the neons were affected by the med would these symptoms fit...

Anus of fish appears normal. I think he has always been a small fish, but he definatly doesn't look very healthy at the moment! Could the whitespot medication be making the neons ill? As I'm sure I read somewhere that neons can't take full doseages of some meds, but I asked in the shop and was...

Thanks for the quick reply. The neons are all swimming together still, none are on their own or hiding in corners. They are all behavig quite normally. There is no loss of colour, and no lumps that I can see on the tummy. The fish that has lost weight is still eating normally, I made a point...

I am currently treating my tank for white spot, as some of you may know from my previous posts, as one of my angel fish has white salt grain type spots along its top fin. I've been treating now for one week and no improvement as of yet. I noticed tonight however that some of the neons have...

Ok thanks, just worried the treatment not working, but wasn't sure how long I should give it! I'll keep treating, hopefully we'll see an improvement soon! Thanks

Yes we've raised the temp, which is currently ideling at about 28 degrees. We removed the carbon sponge, the tank has an air bubble pump in there, so air should be fine, and none of the fish are gasping for air or look distressed, so I assume thats ok. I will continue treatment until spots are...

After my post last week about my Angelfish (Smudge) developing spots, and thanks to your help we worked out it must be white spot. I've started treatment of it, the guy in the lfs advised me to do treatment one day and 10% water change the following day, and carry on until the spots disapeer...

It's an Angelfish that has the whitespot. None of the other fish are affected, and we have a Juwel filter, the one that comes with the tank. Its a Jewul Rekord 120.

We're not sure how the fish got white spot. The tank is about 3 months old, but we haven't recently added any new fish or changed anything that I can think of. We maintain our tank very well. Water change every week, and filter sponges changed as needed, we keep everything as it should, I got a...

Just thought you might like to her my shrimps progress. We went to bed last night with him still lying on his side and not moving, but was in a jug of clean water (dechlorinated obv) and a bit of the carbon sponge as suggested. This morning he was back upright, and is moving around as normal! He...
