Hi just noticed my fish had 1 pop eye. On closer inspection it also has some deep red gills. I've done a 50 percent water change and added melafix. It seems to be swimming okay and eating currently. Anyone know what else I can do to help cure it. Thanks

Thanks for the information. I've not noticed any moving. They all seem to be at the top above the water level. We came back from holiday and noticed our water had huge nitrate and nitrite spike and unfortunately lost one fish. I've since cleaned the tank and done around 75 percent water change...

Just noticed this on my tank glass today. They don't look like they're moving but look worm like what is it please and what shall I do

Here's a pic of the tank showing the black algae growth and my dying plants

Just to add after I noticed the water was so high I have done about a 75 percent water change and cleaned out all the filters. Anything else I can do to keep the spike down

Hi all apologies for a late response we were away. I was surprised to see that our platy was still alive when we returned home and was doing well. This changed quickly and today was The first day I noticed it on the flbottom of the tank again gasping. By the time if walked the dogs it was dead...

Hi noticed my platy is floating in one place swimming less and breathing rapid. Visually looks fine other than breathing fast which caught my eye. Last week another platy passed after a week in a separate tank and the first symptom of that I noticed was rapid breathing. Again unsure why. I moved...

Hi I noticed my platy was on the floor in my main tank very odd for her. She's been in a small tank alone for about a week where I notice she had a small pop eye, she's barely been swimming and barely eating. Definitely not been eating last few days and looks skinny I've tried treating her over...

Hi so we currently have a 105l tank on a fairly solid sideboard but noticed it had starting to drop. We've put some support within the unit to make it more supportive however I in my mind I've been wanting to get a tank and proper stand. We came across an add on facebook for an aqua one 145l...

Hi Just noticed that my cory had what looks like a damaged top fin. What does It look like to anyone else. I have 3 Cory's and they seem to be a bit strange lately often swimming in top of each other often one on its back and one ontop then sometimes I notice them swimming upside down on a...

Tested the water it was within the right limits on the colour charts. It was aquarium salt I added. He had been on and off for a week with the wound. I'm assuming it was aggression but what if it was ulcer similar to that mentioned in the screenshot. Plus he was wobbly more so last night but had...

He was very bent when I found him. I found this online could this be why

I did do another water change keeping him in the tank of about 35 40 percent just to stop the cloudiness but unfortunately he passed last night. I knew he wasn't looking good. He was basically swimming upside down. What could have caused this. 😕 although he had that opened wound he has perked...

Hi thanks for your help. I took the fish into to do water change as its only small tank I topped the tank up then removed a jug full of water to add the aquarium salt to. I left it to dissolve then poured it in but you're right some of it hadn't dissolved so I left it in the tank for about 10...

It only turned murky after adding the aquarium salt ? I have done a 50 percent water change today as I wasn't sure if the water was supposed to look so cloudy after adding aquarium salt.

I made a post last week as I noticed my platy acting odd in the main tank. Noticed the other male chasing him and he was lying on the bottom or upright and hiding. When I moved him to his own small tank I noticed a red wound on him I assumed he had been nipped. After a day in his own tank he...

Thanks everyone so my platy had been in a separate tank to give him some time to heal his wound. I did a water change yesterday and thought he was acting so much better and thought about adding him back to the tank but when I looked his wound hadn't healed. How long would this take? I've very...

I can keep them. Most of them are nearly fully grown I think so shouldn't that have stopped any aggressive behaviour? I'd like to keep them but wouldn't they continue to keep breeding ?

They're females which are the baby platys they are older now. I'll attach a pic. Would this still be why they were fighting

So in my tank my platy was acting really strange floating in one place not swimming. Either top or bottom of the tank wasn't eating I thought it was quite sudden behaviour. He even got in the plants and was floating upright not moving. I noticed another male platy was chasing him and he would...

The fertiliser says use once a week. Does that mean if I haven't done a water change within the week the level of copper would be too high when I've used the 2nd dose ?

It's aqua care fertiliser. And I added 2 new plants same day but they came from local pond shop delivered though do you think that might have been why

Hi all. I'm so sad today. I'm fairly new to having a bigger tank and woke up and found all 3 of my shrimp dead which we've had for 1.5 years so to find all 3 dead I was so confused. On doing research I used some plant fertiliser yesterday which contains copper which I didn't know couldn't be...

I've not tried to scrub it off the plants to be honest. I wasn't sure if it was algae I just thought they were wilting and I was maybe missing out of some nutrients for them

Thanks for your comment. These are my plants does this look like brown algae as I'm unsure as to why they are going brown
