Hi , thanks for your quick reply. I Havnt got my own test kit , so I will pop to my local aquarium shop and get some results - and post them. The yo yo loach are quite small and are showing no interest in the snails at all , and as for the assassin snails , I did enquire about them but my fish...

Hi all , although not a real newbie to this hobby / forum , i rarely post much as i havnt had too many issues - until now ! I have a 120 litre tank with two 5 to 6 inch Clown Loaches , 3 Yo Yo Loaches , 2 Albino Corys and a 2 or 3 year old Angelfish. The tank is very mature and all the fish...

Congratulations - nice set up.

Hi Ludwig , thanks for the compliments. Hope this is ok for verification. Steve.

Hi mate , thanks for replying. Yep that sounds about right , there are no visible bites ( thanks nattetra ) so i assume they are just following him around , he isnt bothered by them , so i guess all is good. Thankyou.

Hi , not been keeping fish too long. Here's a pic of my tank ( my entry for tank of the month ) Hope you like it !! The Angel in the picture is no longer with us sadly , but i have had some new additions. In all i have : 2 Albino Corys , 5 Mollys , 3 Neon Tetra's , 2 Guppys , 2 clown loach and...

Hi , ive had 2 clown loaches in my communial tank for a few weeks now. I recently added some more fish to the tank including a pair of Dwarf Gouramis - a male and a female. The two clown loaches are following the male everywhere and appear to be either "nipping" him or cleaning him , neither of...

Thankyou for your help anyway.

Im gutted , the Angel died a couple of hours ago. I went to my local aquatic shop straight after work to buy the interpet 9 for internal diseases and infections. He was out of stock but sold me something he said would do the same job. It was "Anti Ulcer" for ponds and was quite strong only...

Would it be ok to add the internal infection stuff and Angel to a tank with healthy fish ? Because my old tank is sold and is going to be picked up on wednesday ? I havnt got another tank or anywhere else to keep him whilst he's being treated.

Hi , the tank its in at the moment is a 60 litre. Not sure about the water stats , but its a mature tank which has been okay'd at aquarium shops in last month. The fish is just spending all day laying flat on its side.

Hi all. Ive got an Angel fish which has been through the wars , and sadly looks like he's on his way out. I had just cycled a new tank and after putting him in , he got "pop eye" / "cloudy eye" which was treated with Melafix and seemed to have cured him ( I treated him back in the old tank )...

Thankyou. Yes i'll have to invest in one of those testing kits.

I had my water tested a few weeks back , all seemed ok. Ive got clown loaches which are happy and healthy and a near two year old Angel all in the same tank. Maybe i'll try a different shop and see what happens , thanks.

Hi all , is there a certain knack to keeping these types of fish ? I love the albino ones , but they dont seem to live too long after ive bought them. I always buy two or three together as advised but they probably last a couple of weeks at the most.

I that case , no , hs scales look fine mate.

The tank is a 60 litre , i do realise its quite small for an Angel , although he's seemed quite happy over the last 18 months. Im not quite sure by what you mean " scales up" , i thinnk he looks ok , although he looks like he's going an orangy colour all of a sudden - he was silver. Is dropsy...

Hi all. I posted on here a few months back with regard to my Angel Fish who was swimming rather strangely , spending a lot of time at the bottom of the tank and coming up for air an awful lot. I think - with various peoples advice - that i cured him , i gave him some drops for "swimming bladder...

I do have an air pump / airstone already. I will adjust the filter outlet and see what happens , thanks.

Hi all. I have a 60 litre tank ( which i know is maybe a tad too small for an Angel ) and i have 3 fish , an Angel , a tiger barb and an albino catfish. We have had the Angel just over a year now and until recently has seemed to be fine. He had an attack of fin rot once a few months back , but...

Thanks for your help , going to have a look on e bay now. Luton Airport is only a 20 minute drive from where i live. One other thing , i noticed you said i could have plenty of Angels - where as i specifically remember the guy in the aquarium shop refusing to sell me another as they would fight...

I'm in Luton , Bedfordshire. Id love a great big tank , but ive got to twist my wifes arm first !!

Thanks again for your help. The gourami and the silver sharks are not that big you know , and ive had them around 4 or 5 months - they are pretty much the same size now as when i bought them , shame to get rid of them. Likewise the Angel - which is really the "highlight" of my tank , i'm even...

Thankyou for your reply. Regarding the condition of my water , i have had it tested only once around 3 months ago at my local aquarium shop , who informed me that everythng seemed ok. I have since then been changing around 10 - 15 percent of the water weekly and using an aditive to eliminate the...

Hi all. Ive been keeping tropical fish since January this year , so am relatively new to the hobby. I have a 60 litre tank with the following fish : 1 Angel 2 Silver sharks 1 Albino Molly 1 Pearl Gourami - female i think 1 Albino Catfish 1 Swordtail ( had him since the start ) Up until 2 days...

Unfortunately i found the platie dead today , face down in the gravel. But im going to continue with the regular water changes , and invest in a good water testing kit. Thanks guys.

I had the water tested once by my local aquarium shop , and he said it as ok , mind you that was a while back. I will start doing the 50 per cent changes from today , thanks Andy.

Thanks for your input Andy. I was unaware of the sizes these species can grow too.....the silver sharks are great - i bought them as a pair , the Angel seems very terratorial , and i originally wanted two , but the shop keeper didnt reccommend it. He does seem o chase a few of the others around...

The Fins look "Cut Short" Ludwig , and i only have 1 Angel Fish. He is just lying at the base of the tank , mainly on his side and like i said only pops up for feeding , although i can see its a hell of a job for him now , he struggles to the top of the tank then drops like a stone to the bottom.

Hello all , im new to the forum and only started to keep tropical fish at the beginning of the year. I have a 60 litre Jewel Tank with around 9 different fish , an Angel , Platie , Silver sharks , Gouramis and an albino catfish. I have had others , including a Fighting Fish who sadly died after...
