It's finally gone!!!!!!!! Waited a few days just to be sure and it's definitely gone now.

I noticed a few weeks ago my tetras all have cloudy fins on the tips, some have it on their til fins as well. The other fish in the tank don't have this.   I've been dosing with Myxazin and today is day 7 and have done a ravel vac each morning for the past two days now but they all still look...

Still looks the same, fins a bit cloudy white looking on the tips. Been doing a gravel vac daily now for the past 2 days and adding Myxazin for 7 days.

I do a clean and water change on both my tanks every Monday. That imcludes a good wipe down inside and out of the glass, gravel vac, a check of bothe filters and replacement of filter floss.   PM Monday - Saturday feed fish, Sunday I don't feed the fish as I read one day without food is good for...

No because my kit is well out of date now and I haven't bought another because it's been running so long with no issues. Gonna get another kit though. Do you think a daily water change alongside treating with the Myxazin would help?

Thanks very much. Will keep it up like you said and when it's gone they'll be moved.

Thanks, I don't have a QT. Do you think maybe it's poor water quality? The tanks has been running many years and it's cleaned once a week on the dot.   How long can I continue with the myxazin for?

Thanks for the encoragement. Tbh I'm nearly at the end of my tether with this now. I've had  these tanks years now without major problems and now this and it won't shift. I love my tanks and it's annoying not being able to put this right.   How long should I keep the temp at 30? Is it safe to...

I think my tetras in my 60L tank have fin rot. I noticed the other week that the tips of their fins were a cloudy white colour. All of them have this cloudy white colour on their fins only that wasn't there before. One of the tetras also has clamped fins. I also have guppies in there and their...

Spots today :(

No spots today!

Hardly any spots today, just hope it stays that way

I didn''t wanna go the salt  route as I read it can damage my plants so I've gone ahead and bought the King British white spot control. It's got fantastic reviews and a lot of people say when other treatements have failed this has worked. Still keeping the temp at 30, I was tempted to takke t to...

No but good question. I meant to put in my post I have no carbon in the filter but forgot lol

Thanks very much for the help. I'm up to 30 temp wise now and am going to clean the substrate daily, just about to do it in a minute. I'm also going to transfer the neons to the big tank when they're better (if this works lol)

Just increased the temp by 1 degree to 29 will put it up to 30 tomorrow.  Is that gonna be ok with the fish?   Also turned the filter up to increase aeration

Thanks very much, I'll give that a go.

Thanks I can move them to  the big tank but I need to get rid of the white spot first otherwise I'm going to infect that tank

It started when I bought some snails from Pets at Home and now Ican't shift it and it's been over a month!   The tank is a 21.6L with a Betta and 5 neon tetras, they've all been living there for ages with no problems at all and the tank is planted, filtered and heated fully cycled as it's been...

I didn't let the water in. I've put them in a tub and treated the tank. Thanks

I bought 2 zebra nerite snails from Pets a Home on Monday an today I've noticed a few small white spots on my fish. If I use Interpet Anti White Spot will it harm my snails?   Can snails carry white spot? The tank was fine before I got the snails. My sisters fish got white spot after she bought...

Ok I'll try what you said and see how I get on. I've bought that new fertiliser. It'll be easier doing it daily anyway rather than remembering to do it every 10 days plus the one you suggested sounds a lot better. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for the help. I'd be interested in dry but I'd have to read up a lot first. In the meantime I'll change my fertiliser and up the co2.   I just looked at that fert you suggest and it looks good. I'm really thick when it comes to maths though. How much would I add daily for my 21.6 litre...

Thanks what would be a better fert to use? I don't want to mess about with dry ferts as I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I'll start double dosing the liquid co2 tonight. I always put it in when I switch on the lights.

Do you think? How would I do daily dosing though in such a small tank? I only dose 7ml every 10 days. How much would I dose if it was daily? Basically the bottle says add 2.5ml for every 56 litres every 10 to 14 days depending on plant density.

I've posted before about the problem in my small 21.6L tank. It has two big lots of Java Fern in it and one bit of anubias. It's been running years and the plants have grown a lot. The problem is my Java Fern is developing brown spots all over the leaves which eventually turn into loads of tiny...

Thanks for the advice, It's really stuck on there this time and it won't even come off with boiling water and a scrubbing brush! It's so annoying. Not sure which method I'm gonna try, I've read loads of people swear by the bleach method. I did read about letting the algae dry and die off but how...

One of my tanks has fake plants and no matter what I do they always get black dirt on them. Not hairy or anything just like mold in a bathroom really. I assume it's some kind of algae. I've used a scrubbing brush on them but it's not coming off. I've read about using diluted bleach to clean them...

This is a 21.6 L hexagon shaped tank that I've planted and keep a Betta and snail in. I hope you like the pics                            

Thanks, I was just worried because the previous anubias I had in that tank was struggling and dying off but people advised me to add carbon and it started to sprout new leaves again and grow.

Yeah it's all one plant on a small bit of bogwood. It's grown really well but that was in another tank

Excellent, thanks. I was worried because I do like this little tank and don't wanna have to take anything out.

21.6 litre hexagon tank which contains one snail and a Betta. Plants are two Java Fern and one anubias. I add liquid ferts every 10 days and Liquid Carbon (API CO2 booster) daily. Lights on 6 hours in the evening.   I did have a problem with a plant dying off and started to add the co2 booster...

The liquid Carbon seems to be doing the trick! My Anubias has started sprouting new leaves which are nice and green. Hopefully it won't be long before it's back to how it used to be.   Just wanted to say thanks to all that gave me advice

Thank you for all your help.

Thank you so so much. Is this right to get: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261231396315?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649   so 0.6ml is what I dose and shall I do less than that for a week to get the plants used to it? Thanks

Sorry for the delay replying, I'm babysitting atm. I just have the Java Fern and anubias in the tank. So maybe it's best to go with the API co2 booster then. The only problem is I find it says on these things to fill the cap according to litres or gallons and it's only a 21 litre tank and I...

what about somehing like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190805376287&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en   Is that any better?

Thanks for the reply, I never thought about having too many plants. I'm looking at the liquid and I see API liquid CO2 booster. What do I do with that? Just dose according to instructions like I do my waterlife tropiflora? I take it I still use the tropiflora as well.

I have a small planted tank with no co2 but I do dose every 2 weeks with waterlife tropiflora. In the tank I have two lots of java fern which has really grown big and one lot of anubius which was doing great until recently.   The anubius is just dying off. The leaves were lush and green and it...
