Hi.. Ive been in a similar prob with my guppies over the past few months and finally diagnosed with Columnaris and have done a two week treatment..all signs of fungas etc has gone a death rate has dropped to none. But my gups are showing signs of itching through scartching on plants etc.. I have...

My Guppies were finally diagnosed with Saddleback Columnaris and have undergone two weeks of treatment with Melafix & Pimafix combined. This treatment cleared up all fungas and breakouts in guppies apart from the odd couple that were too far gone & died. During the two week treatment I noticed...

Hi.. More pics on way..pc is always active so little time to load pics on it. The tank has a gravel filter and a submerged filter...I also run a pump for the canon that goes up and down so the tank is well airated. The gravel filter has two valves on pump hoses so I can change the filteration of...

HI there. Fry are doing great & Growing fast. They have started to develop colour on their tails. The quarentine tank we have now decided to use for the fry and allow them more room to frow and a small current to develop their fins etc.. Sadly we have lost a couple teenage fry that already had...

LMAO! No worries no offence taken here. I like Slippery he's cool. It wont be while until i re-house him as Ive only had him 5 months and he's outlived all. I guess evil wins again...ha ha ha ah ha ah ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaa!!! Jk! No really I like him until he eats all new fry anyway...then...

Yeh my lfs said the same thing, its the flesh part though not the skin they like...and also frozen peas defrosted with skins peeled off, most little fishies like that though.

Hi there...just so you know the above pics are of the same tank with plants in it...its just I will be placing more in there as there are spots uncovered at the back wall of the tank...they need filled. The pic without plants was the tank in week 1. The tank has now been set up for about 2.5...

Yeh I was kinda annoyed I had to place so much gravel....but hey if its going to save the fry...then YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I love it. lol! Sorry Im a little nutty today. Alot of people say no gravel is best with fry in tank as they get sucked under....But I have noticed that the colour gravel I...

Hi..Yep I just found this out yesterday about them being aggressive. So have decided when he is a little bigger, will pass on to our lfs or a family member, as most of my relo's have tanks..bigger than mine. I also have 3 corries so probably just keep them...I also have plenty a snail...so algea...

Damn Im an idiot!!!! I have 3 cories and slippery...I always wondered the correct breed of him...my lfs know him as suckerfish. Thanks for the info...I did know he isnt a cory just I wasnt thinking...although it was mentioned hes a catfish sucker. Im glad I have correct info. Cheers mate, :good:

Happy Easter all.....Yes I dont want my 3 year old daughter Caitlan-Paige to see any more chocolate....she is addicted and has been for a few months...cant wait until all the easter choc is gone then she can stop asking me for it. lol!!!!! Morning noon and night!!! Chocolate, Chocolate...

Thanks, that would be the smart thing to do...I just posted in Corydoras.

My little slippery sucker is too fast to catch if need be and way to fast to photograph, its taken me numerous tries over a couple of months to get this pic. He scatters off into holes or behind plants...The depth of my tank is wide so lots of plants etc...Finally last night I caught him by...

Hi...Thanks again...I went to mlfs today and purchased some pimafix, I have done a 25% water change as advised by lfs and started treatment today with pimafix and Melafix...at 6ml per dose. I hope this will help...I also culled any fish I had with obvious fungas as these seem to not want to get...

Hi, thanks for all your replies. The battle continues...Some of my gups are still infected with fungas and dont seem to be improving...Some of my fry have dropped and I cannot find one of my teenage fry 4 months old...Her tail was looking bad last night and sagging, was thinking of culling her...

Hi. Pic dosnt show how the tank is set out properly due to a bad bad bad pic...taken from a camera phone. But Im actually adding more plants as there isnt enough...Im breeding gups and need the javaferns etc for fry to hide in until I see them and place into a breeding net to grow. I have tried...

Hi. I dont actually use the breeding net to put pregnant females into, its basically for fry only...its much too hard to catch gups in my tank specially when they are birthing as they hide in javaferns etc, so when we find babies in tank...we carefully catch them and they go into net for 4-8...

Thanks, Its taken me 3 years to get this tank...and because I have a great rapport with mlfs keeper he basically allowed me to pay my tank off...like a take home layby system. I had a small tank for awhile before this large one I had custom made for a wall-unit Ive had for a long time. I...

Hey Jamie...cool surname...mine is actually quinlan. lol

Thanks for reply...would you happen to know if I should be treating with smaller dose if fry are present in the tank?

Hi just so you know....if angel fish fry are small you might be best putting them into a breeding net for a few weeks so their mum and dad dont eat them.

Does anyone also know if melafix is safe with fry and pregnant fish, also corries and would I lessen the dosage in this case? It dosnt state on the medication bottle. The corries seem fine and ive lost 3 day old fry...only about 4 of them. Also 3 adult gups were dead this morning, they were the...

I know in some cases after the guppy has dropped her fry she becomes still and dies. Guppies do not eat for 48 hours after dropping fry and can become weak. If no other fish in your tank have signs of illnes and water stats are ok, it could be your guppy is sick due to birth. If you have a...

Hi! Im also breeding gups...I just started out about 6 months back and now I have a custom made 73 litre long tank. I just keep a breeding net to place babies that survive in the main tank...they get raised in that then are transfered back to main. I just have mixed female and males in the...
