I removed the dracena (stripes one) yesterday after Byron mentioned it. The anubias I've been trying to save because it has new root and shoots growing. Is ir beyond help? I couldn't diagnose the cause for rot! The other plants you mentioned, o bought them both from the pond shop and they were...

The light is 6500k. 😊 I checked with the seller.

Ah I threw away the labels. Why did ya ask? The pond shop had them submerged in an aquarium. They were my favourite. Very disappointed. What's a good hard water plant that'll do well without co2 etc? So far my floaters are my best survivors, they do well. Oddly, they grow longer roots in the...

I finally rehomed the two goldfish from this 60l tank to kingfisher aquatics in Enfield because they have loads of indoor ponds and I knew they'd have plenty more space livable longer term until they are purchased for an outdoor pond. I bought these plants, 4 for £10 from the same pond shop...

I've never had to search for a spotted red or zebra nerite. These two new tiger stripe ones are forever hidden in that cave. I couldn't see them when I took the cave out to look during a water change and vacuum. But after the new water was back on, 1 of them crawled out for 5 seconds and went...

Oh wow. What's the cure?

So even though upon return to its original tank, it did start moving within hours, it didn't go far. It stuck to the glass close to where it was placed and didn't travel anywhere. A couple of days later it collapsed again on its back right there in the same position. I sniffed it, was fine...

Thanks. I wonder if my guppies might chomp on them. I only keep almond leaves in there and occasionally a tiny piece of shrimp stick or daphnia. Like once a fortnight.

What might cause snails to die though?

Can you identify this? stick with the video there is a good zoom in. My cat is headbutting my aem whilst filming. Really appreciate all feedback. I finally vacuumed the cherry shrimp tank as suggested as the detritus worms just wouldn't go away. Mainly cause I saw some bigger than usual...

I didn't sniff actually. Just put it in the original tank and it started moving in a few hours. The only thing I can think of is .aybe the almond leaves made the shrimp tank water softer and he didn't like that. I put another nerite snail in the shrimp tank and he was on the move within hours...

Thanks everyone.

Hi. I moved a snail from my goldfish tank at 20°C to my cherry shrimp tank at the same temp to help with the green algae. However it has not come out of the shell or moved in 3 days. What could be the issue? The shrimp are healthy and active in there.

UPDATE::: *** Melafix saved him! In case anybody sees this, it started as a bump and turned to swelling and then popeye. I tried salt and didn't work after 3 days, I quarantined and fosed Melafix. Popeye disappeared same day and swelling reduced to normal within two. I'm on day four and fish is...

image.jpg Our brother and sister from the same litter of quadruplets. 😼 I try to apply dog training techniques because I've learned cats bond through interaction and play and prefer this over even food! I've taught them to *sit* with treats as a reward and because they're cats...

I quarantined him, first without meds, then after a week with meds, but he didn't improve and I lost him two days ago. 😔

On the fish's right, but on the viewers left is a bump. I just noticed today. Have you experienced this before? The only change is I started feeding some new pellets. The other two are fine.

Hi, is this mating behaviour? As you can see both the calico and yellow one are chasing the orange one. They seem to sorta be up in its face as if they're trying to kiss all over its face or something, too... In an annoying way. 😐 not sure how concerned I should be. Am googling but can't find...

Thanks Gary, I shall keep an eye, thanks for your words :)

But essentially, is there anything I can do for him now? I have put in fresh water, and a sponge filter on the oxygen pump. I can see the raised scales along his belly now, poor thing. But not sure what else can be done. Also, what should I feed him if anything now? He didn't notice the brine...

Fascinating. Thanks. How does one transport fish back home when collecting them from the tropical areas? I mean, were they flown by plane or some other way? Maybe one day I will travel and like to find fish...

I've got daphnia, brine shrimp, bloodworm, white mosquite larvae, krill, spinach/veggie, red rotifiers, cyclops in my freezer and I rotate.

I'll remove the almond leaves. I read in many places that they're good for guppies. My water is very hard here in London. I'll see how he does without the tannins and fresh water. He was born in my main tank and is about 6 months old or so. Please can you elaborate how you identify the...

Hi, video link here: This guy starting gasping and swollen belly recently and the only change was trying to feed Cobalt flakes a bit more and frozen foods a bit less. I have no idea what the issue is but he's the only one who became swollen like this. I also noticed him staying towards the top...

I agree but I feed way less flakes than when feeding frozen foods. I'm very cautious about the dry foods. I am unsure the issue but I am about to post a video of my guppy guy in a new thread and ask whether it is dropsy or not..

And the organic matter is to be treated as you advised before? Just cleaning right?

The entire time I was feeding frozen food I didn't have any sick or dying fish. Before frozen food I had common issues with dropsie. Last couple of weeks I tried feeding the Cobalt flakes a bit more just testing out thr theories in this thread and now I have a male guppy showing signs of dropsie...

This is the article I read as well. So does hornwort stop the growth of Black algae and brown algae too?

I moved the hornwort from the shrimp tank to the goldfish tank, now I can see clearly the moss have become stringy and weak looking... However it is very visible with the hornwort planted in the goldfish tank that this hornwort is the greenest, healthiest performing plant I've ever had in my 3-...
