Okay Okay, I am the inherited owner of this fish and there are many things to explain before you lot jump to even more conclusions...... 1st - Harry is AT LEAST 18 years old!!! So he isnt doing too badly. 2nd - Harry used to belong to the mother of one of my lecturers at university. When she...

Does this look like algae (on the plant)?? It appears white in the day then at night it looks brown. when i did a water change today it stirred it up (its also on the gravel and rocks) I also have higher than normal levels of ammonia and nitrite if that helps the i.d. thanks

strange! i have just had a guy test the water in the oceanography lab next door. It was not quantative but from adding some chemicals to the sample i have, we have discovered there is nitrite (prob quite a lot) and some ammonia. eeek. what should i do now?? thanks

im hopeless, i have no idea what the filter is called; it has a sponge type thing in the middle of black casing which collects all the rubbish from the tank. The filter was damp at the time of moving but i didnt soak it in water to keep it wet...should I have done this?

HI Bob, I cleaned the whole lot in plain tap water (the whole tank is probably about 35 gallons, i think i got my estimate wrong before, 2 standard size buckets of old fish water were kept). I don't have a test kit, would you reccomend I purchase one?
