the fish really isnt moving at all, so hence no flicking :/ the gills don't look inflamed, anus looks normal, i think at this stage i need to put him out of him misery?

no he dosnt seem bloated, he looks thin if anything, i do have a betta in the tank with them but its segmented off from the rest of the community, could the sight of the betta be upsetting him?

i just baught a new pair of fish 'croaking gourami' apparently, but are they really? i'm having trouble posting a photograph.. hmm this is the female apparently and shes only about an inch long, the males about 1.5 inches but his very elusive, hopefully he'll get better but i can't even get a...

my boy salvador used to get under the large gravel i had in his tank when i forst got him, first time i was like , wherei n the hell?! as im staring at the empty tank he bursts out from under the gravel and flares at me... little punk.... i have cince got smaller gravel.

will they all settle down after a while? or is it not like introducing cats to each other... 2 second memory and all... ARGH fish!.. ok swim away... ARGHHHHH FISH!... lap the tank again... ARGH! right i think i need sleep....

wow, you learn somthing new everyday, when i was a kid i used to get rocks from bush creeks and what not, and stick them in with my gold fish without problems, ive doen the same now with my tropicals, got them from our garden pond, we baught a couple of tonnes to line the bottom of the pond and...

my betta really likes tetra colour enhancing flakes, they smell really strongly, i think thats partly it, the worse they smell, the more delicious they are, he prefers the flakes to his betta pellets and will bite down on them so violently that he jumps out of the water.... maybe his just a weirdo?

the gouramis seem more scared of him than he does of them, i had gerome in there for a year and he was always fine, although gerome was only a veiltail, could the extra weight of salvador being a delta contribute to it being easily torn?

a week after my late betta gerome passed, i introduced salvador into my tropical tank. he seems really happy being in the warm filtered water but he is tearing his tail up and im wondering if it could be stress or the current from the filter thats doing it? he hardly has any butterfly colouring...

i pulled the g-man out of the tank last night, his still alive thismorning but barely, his layign on his side and cant get up, he keeps trying, wiggleing his fin, poor thing :/

hey, the only one i didnt give you is nitrite because i dont have a test for it. The tank has been up and running for 6 months now, the fish themselves seem fine, havnt seen the rubbing on the rocks, no labored breathing, only symptom so far is the eyes. and i know the tank is overstocked, im...

yeah the golden fish in the picture is exactly what i have, good google search :D although they dont have as much red in the fins, i baught some colour enhancing food so we'll see if that helps, they both might just need to grow up a bit too :) thanks for all the whelp everyone :D

umm, how big are we talking? i only have a 40l tank.

ok, i managed to get a photo of one of the little rascals, but my fish always end up looking sickly when i take photos of them, but this is the colour, you can get a fair idea :)...

his tail looks to be rparing already, the split that appeared has almost closed up.. phew.. ive done another water change and they all seem happy and bright, i baught another plant for them all to hide in today, it looks liek a forest in there.. gerome seems to have been prone to fin rot since...

his looking better today, his not moping at all, swimming round happily, swims around with his top fin spread, the rot is only on the tail, no fins. i've started feeding him on frozen blood worms and thats also made him perk up a lot. he seems to like swimming through the plants, and perching...

nooo my male golden ram now has a chunk out of his tail and his tummy dosnt look full, neither does the remaining females !!! :(

thanks for the help! hes refused to eat the pea, although he did attack it once then gave up. his looking better already, still a bit round aroudn the middle but much better and much more active, ive read a couple of things online that say to fast them for 24-48 hours so im goign to wait till...

ok so i just saw gerome the betta do a small poo, but it was cremeish, fish poo is normally dark is it not?

a pea? he'll eat peas? as in go down to the vegie patch, pick a pea, cook it .. and he will eat it? what would have caused it? because my friends betta thats in a 100l tank with 4 girls has the same thing

when you chenged the gravel over, did you put all your old water down the sink then refil from the tap?

yeah im worried aobut the betta too, he got some fin rot when i first put him in, its cleared up but he has half the tail he had before, and the last 3 days or so his tummy has become swolen, like he has eggs, but obviousoly, being male, the're not eggs, constipation perhaps? or could he be...

its been set up now for only 2 weeks, i was actually just thinking tonight, whenever my dad used to set up a tank we'd always have a death within 2 weeks, guess it runs in the family, i just noticed though, its been a warm day down here in melbourne today, our air conditioner has packed up and...
