Hi. Its a 73 litre tank & Ive had a few fry...I now have teenage fry Ive raised...They are about 4 months old. I also have young fry 2 weeks - 3 days old. I have a few more pregnant gups but tank is currently under treatment and fish are dropping off...I just hope I dont lose them all. All water...

Yep Im sure luck is required...Im so tired of sick fish. As Im sure you can highly imagine. Well this morning I woke to 3 dead fish...They were the ones worse off than others so perhaps they were far beyond driven. Another words too far gone already. I have also lost a couple of the youngest...

Hi Just wondering if water changes and turning gravel filter up would do the same...if i keep water changes to 35% and make temp similar would that be affective on day two...I had to do a top up today anyway...! Checked all levels today... ammonia = 0, Nitrite = 0, Nitrate = 20, ph = 7.0. Temps...

Hi all. Ive been searching for answers for so long and diagnosed my fish wrong 3 times. Now after endless search I have the answers and correct diagnostics...with great help from mlfs. So tomorrow I start treatment with melafix. I also purchased a water chemistry kit today and tested, ammonia =...

Awesome Tank! You should be proud. Love it!!! Yes Im jelous too... nice layout. Now dont fix wont aint broke.. lol

Hi. From what I have read about dropsy..it is like cancer that is brought on by stress...generally old fish...etc etc fragile fish will get it. Unless a sick fish with dropsy has died in the tank and contaminated it.. eg; by other fish eating remains etc, then you shouldnt have to treat it. Its...

Hi all. Im new to this fish keeping...well ive been at it for about 6 months...and my life has been all about our new guppy tank at home....Im tired of buckets...and my tank is near a kitchen and a window...Alot of people tell me the python thing is excellent...and seeing Im in Oz and water...

Hi there! Thanks for the reply...I will now go ahead with treatment..would you advise doing a 25% water change before dosing with sterazin? Or just go ahead now? Also it says lessen the dose if fry are present....My week old fry seem to be doing ok so I dont want to stress them. They say dose...

Hi. If you read my previous posts on saltwater...All the info is in there of all stages before this, all water stats etc have been perfect for weeks...I believe this started from an actuall fish or plant. I just need to know when I can commence treatment of sterazin...This is so frustrating, do...

Hi all! Please read previous posts for history of subject. Basically ive treated tank with methblue for what i thought was whitespot or fungal. But I actually believe since treating with methblue and a water change etc that its not whitespot etc as treatment is making fish worse and not helping...

Hi ..Thanks for the info...I actually think it might be flukes as the methblue didnt help and my fry in the net are perfectly fine considering they are only a weekish old. I read last night that flukes is transmitted through touch and perhaps thats why the fry are ok because they are seperate. I...

Hi all. My fish have been scratching for a week or two...Ive done water changes, all water chems have been perfect..nitrite, amonia, ph 7.2, all good although temps were high, at 31 degrees. Now at 27. I have added salt and that didnt seem to help..perhaps the temps were too high at the time...

Hi Neale...Today is day 3 since I treated the tank with the blue stuff..Ive had about 7 guppies die...and now the gups seem to be developing sores over them...one guppys eye is covered with fungas or something. Do you know if this is happening because the fish was infected already and the...

Hi neale. Your totally right. My petshop gave me a product called Methylene Blue..treats White spot and superficial fungal infections. Also prevents fungal infection on fish eggs, so should be perfectly safe for fry. Only bother is...it turns water blue..! I guess that wont matter when fish and...

Took this pic about an hour ago. Getting there. Any feed back would be good. Sorry I couldnt get a better pic...this was taken from my phone. Cheers all :good:

Hi neale. Im in oz. Have you heard of this product? PROTOZIN - protozoacide PROTOZIN is used for the control of all protozoan and fungal infections e.g Whitespot, Fungus, Neon Tetra Disease, Velvet, Costiasis and Trichodiniasis. You will require 4 separate applications to complete the course...

Hi Neale.. Thanks for your advice. Im just curious to know if medicating will harm the water chemistry and can I treat with guppy fry in tank? Also Will it effect pregnant females? I think the product is IckAway - White Spot Med 125ml Aquarium Medication for the treatment of Whitespot...

Hey all! I too have had many problems with guppies over the past few months...I have found most suppliers breed their gups in ponds and are most subject to disease,,,,and because of my hassel with gups lately I have researched endlessly websites and fish shops for answers. I have decided to...

Hi..I have plants near my heater...I dont believe the actual heater is hot to the touch. Dosnt seem to be burning my plants at all.

Thanks...Cories in another tank...salt in new..see how things go now...Just took pics will post soon. Anymore imput on salt would be good if anyone can help...please. :)

Hi all! Some of my guppies have been itching a bit and a couple have developed fungas around fins. All my water chemistry is perfect...no nitrite..or amonia. Ph is 7.2 and has been stable. Temp is 31 degrees at moment and generally stays around that. I believe this problem came with some fish i...

Hi! I understand this feeling as one of my guppies had babies too...I also missed it but later found fry around my tank and placed into a breeding net...I found 12 and 10 survived...little yellow guppy fry....YAY!!! If you dont have a breeding net...its wise to purchase one and watch your fry...

Hi! I have guppies and they had their tales nipped and are growing back. So I know guppy tails grow back...I do believe that alot of fish tails do...But hopefully some one will help you clarify the answer further. Hope this gave you a little useful info. :good:

Yep It all made perfect sense after reading a few times...lol Just joking! I bought some shade cloth and mlfs keeper said he uses shade cloth and it works good. I also purchased floating plants so when they start growing rampid then It will be much better...I purchased a fair amount But tank is...

Hi! I also have guppies and ave raised little guppy fry...I believe its best netting until they are at least 1.5 - 2cms...you will notice the colours coming through at this stage its generally about 2 - 3 months old...most males are small so perhaps longer unless you have plenty of plant...
