Thank you very much! I am going to look into an RO unit for my tanks!

Thank you so much :)

Thank you so much Colin. It's so bizarre because my Corys are thriving, I have always successfully kept Corys and some of mine are almost 4 years old. It's the guppies that don't seem to be thriving, and they are the ones I have read appreciate hard water the most.

Hi All! Me again! I have some concerns about my water levels & I wanted to ask opinions as the information I am finding online seems to be very conflicting. Tank info; Tank 1- 250L planted Readings; PH; 8.2 Ammonia; 0ppm Nitrite; 0ppm Nitrate; 0ppm GH; 357.2ppm KH; 250ppm Species in tank; Salt &...

Wow thank you so much Colin! You are super knowledgeable on medications! Thank you so much for your help here. All really good to know!

Hi Colin, Thank you so much for taking the time to respond I really appreciate it. So the medications I used were eSHa 2000 and eSHa Gdex. I have attached the instructions for them both but basically both said to treat on day 1, 2 and 3. Then on day 5 do a 50% waterchange. So would you...

Hi Colin, treating for suspected worms and infection. It was one of the suggestions on my last post, I know you had commented on that too. Thanks

Thank you so much ☺️

Hi everyone 👋🏻 I have a few questions on medications that I am struggling to find answers to - hoping someone might be able to help. I started treating my tank with eSHa 2000 and GDX on Saturday. I dosed as per instructions on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Tomorrow I will do a 50% water change...

And sorry, the other one is definitely a guppy, she is young so her tail colours haven't come in properly!

Sorry - I'm not sure if I am doing this quoting thing right, hopefully I am :) Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. It really is devastating for me to lose any of the fish. For me, it's so conflicting at the moment because I am so against unnecessary deaths.. Rebe will tell you...

I will order those right now. Thank you so much. With my poor guppy - is it time to PTS? God fish keeping is so brutal! I never thought I would cry so much over fish!!!

Hello! I’m really sorry for the delayed response!!My daughter is 2 years old and is a real live wire, so my free time during the day is far and few between! I will reply to your bits further down, just wanted to start by giving a little update. I was really positive yesterday, got the nitrate...

Thank you so much Rebe, you are an angel! I have FB messaged you :)

Thank you so much! A little update this morning. I was up early to do a water change before the morning rush began here... I tested my well water for Nitrates and got a reading of 10PPM. Then tested my tank water immediately after the change and again got a reading of 10PPM. I will test again...

Thank you! Should I be cleaning the media during every water change? Also yes - I have a sand vac that I use to suck debris from the bottom and between plants etc ☺️

Thank you so much! You have been so helpful honestly! Yes, I absolutely could commit to daily or twice daily water changes! ☺️

I will dose it now! I can do a water change tomorrow afternoon. I usually do around 25-30% each Sunday..

Thank you for the response. Do you think that it could be something infectious if the guppy fry are doing okay? I would have thought that they are much more sensitive. Although I can't see every fry all of the time, due to the hiding places like moss in my tank

Thank you so much. I will try to get some better photos tomorrow, it can be tricky to capture them. I have looked closely for any signs of disease but all of the fish seem perfectly healthy!! I definitely haven’t noticed any signs of worms, but should I treat the tank for worms as a precaution...

They are beautiful!

Thank you ❤️ I think my eyes were bigger than my belly at that time! It was quite a jump and I was very overwhelmed for a while 😅 but it is flying it now!

Hello everyone 👋🏻 I’m new to this forum, it was recommended to me by my friend ☺️ My name is Ciara, and I live in Cork, Ireland. I have been keeping tropical fish for a while now. I was one of those really silly people who saw a pretty Betta in my local fish store and decided to buy him and a...
