    New Baby Bristlenoses

    Thank you! Now I just have to figure out where to put them once they grow up a bit -- obviously I can't keep them in the current tank, and there are more than I thought, I think I counted 16 yesterday. My current tank was at capacity as it was, I think, so this will be interesting!

    New Baby Bristlenoses

    I managed to take some pictures of the little fellows :) I've attached the best one, it shows them hiding pretty well.

    New Baby Bristlenoses

    Hello, I found about 11 baby bristlenoses in my 75L tank today. They are in there with both parents and some other small fish which haven't seemed to bother them. Should I set up a nursery tank and remove the babies? I don't want to have to cycle another tank so unless this is necessary I'd...

    Possible Gourami Illness

    Thank you so much for your help! I still need to get the water tested but I took a sample today, before the next water change so that won't disguise the problem. I did a 15% water change this weekend but will start doing bigger ones. Is there anything else I should do (medicine, changing...

    Persistent Ich

    Thanks for the suggestions, but the medicine has worked now (treated a second full course with full dosage as the baby is older now). I'm aware of the silver shark problem, I'm not planning to keep him there when he's bigger. For now he is fine, and enjoys playing with the scissortails, so I've...

    Possible Gourami Illness

    Hi, Sorry I abandoned this thread for a while, but the problem went away. Unfortunately it's back. I haven't tested the water for a while but will get it done tomorrow (I don't have a kit, I know I should probably get one). None of the other fish are ill, Malakye, so I don't think it's a...

    Persistent Ich

    Hello, One of my fish has ich, and one has shown the early symptoms of glancing off the rocks and glass. I have treated one course of Waterlife Protozin (a 6-day cycle with two days untreated), and an additional time today (day 7). This morning the fish with the worst case still had some of the...

    What is ICH?

    Hello, Sorry to reply to this thread but I'm not allowed to start a new one. One of my fish has ich, and one has shown the early symptoms of glancing off the rocks and glass. I have treated one course of Waterlife Protozin, but the fish with the worst case still has some cysts on her flesh and...

    Possible Gourami Illness

    Hi, I have a male three-spot gourami who has been in the family for more than 5 years. He had been on his own in an 80L tank for quite a few years until I decided to give him some companions and take advantage of all the space going to waste. I got a silver shark, two salt and pepper mollies...

    How To Cycle A New Tank With Material From Existing Tank

    They're in a smaller tank (maybe 20-30 litres instead of the 80 they're used to) with some of the gravel from the old tank, and I'm doing water changes instead of moving the filter as it's undergravel and I didn't think that was a good idea. Like I said, it's not heated either so I'd like to...

    How To Cycle A New Tank With Material From Existing Tank

    Hi, I'm trying to do the same thing. We had a big accident and the old tank is cracked. The old filter is under-gravel and we just want to transfer the entire thing to the new tank (can't afford new equipment!) as it works well. The only thing I'm worried about is whether the old filter will be...
