I've not tested the water will take sample to local store for check. The only chemical I put in the tank was stress coat for a water change last week. I'm wondering if it's the lighting system as it's on a timer which comes on around lunch time. It's an eheim external filter and heater so surely...

Woke up this afternoon to find all but 2 of my fish have died. I had 12 corydora all dead dozens of guppies all but 1 dead, 5 tetras all dead 1 shark dead. Bristle nose has survived. I had all my cories tetras and shark for at least 7 years. The guppies I started off with less than a dozen and...

I have had my female krib for years she has been single since i got her. She is fully grown and a few days ago I decided to get her a male friend. The young male is 2 3rds her size . She is chasing him but see no damage on him. He is enjoying and happy looking for food and curious like the...

125 gallon tank. The suspects are Angel fish, Female krib and Common Plec.

Right I have 3  large Neon tetra's, I know I should have more but the only Neon's I can get hold of are tiny ones and the last time I put these small neons in my tank they got eaten.  So the 3 I have do not stay together they stay in there own part of the tank separately is this normal behaviour...

No but will be when i get the medicine, if it works will his eye go back to normal?   thanks 

For the past few weeks my angel fish has been having trouble with his eye, as you can see from the pics below his left eye has gone cloudy. Now he is a beautiful fish and I would be sad if something happens to him, he is always watching me whenever Im on the computer. Can anyone tell me what is...

its a 5x2x2 tank, I know its a bit simple but i am planning to make a good aquascape soon im just doing it bit by bit.

http://s227.photobucket.com/user/dustyfox1000/media/WP_20130814_214007Z.mp4.html   He is my fish tank. Just planted my Java ferns in, will be removing plastic plants once i bring in more plants. Also like the bit at 0:43seconds when the glowlight tetra comes to say Hello bob.

Spending a month in Kentucky in October, hoping my automatic feeder does the job as I have no one to come round well no one i can trust.

Sand for me is much better for me. Easier to clean in my opinion you can see any dirt that needs cleaning up and my Corys and clown loaches love it.

Right I have had my fish tank a year now and still enjoying it. So now that I got most of the fish I want I want to now add plants. so I got some questions for the intelligent folk here.   Stem plants that need tieing to wood could you also tie them down to stone/rocks maybe even plastic...

phew looks like god is on my and my fishes side, I decided to do a 80/90% water change I know harsh but it was the only way I could move the tank to see the back. And its just a little chip hoping this is not a problem.

Right I was rearranging some stuff in the tank to do a rescape and decided to take out a big bit of slate the style that goes on top house roofs. Anyway I was draining it of over the tank when suddenly half of it broke off and dropped into the tank hitting the back. Now I cant see if its cracked...

1: A fish 2. A fish 3. A crustacean  4. A fish 5. A fish 6.A fish 7. 2 fish's 8. A fish 9. A fish 10.A fish   I got them all right :)

Well looks like peace has broke out, the small ones are happily swimming together feeding and exploring through the tank. Now I just need toem to join up with my older ones to encourage them to come out of the hiding places.

S/he looks to be ok acting and feeding normally. The eye area seems to be healing. Ive never seen my plecos or any other fish take any notice of the cories, so Im putting the injury down to a fake hollow log that I have in the tank as it does have a few sharp edges to it and will be removed when...

I have a large angel fish a Common plec, clown loaches a bleeding heart tetra a female krib, a synodontis hybrid, neon and glowlight tetras and danios.   I can only think that they do that mad flick on there side and some how has caught its eye on something.

Before I went to work this morning I noticed one of the young sterbies has a missing eye  , dont know what has caused this any ideas?    S/he seems fine atm going around with a couple of other sterbies, but worried that it may get infected or something. Feel a shame for the little one the pain...

I decided to get 6 clown loaches a couple of weeks ago to add to my 4 bigger clown loaches, although the new lot are not mixing in with the oldens yet everything seems fine until I noticed one of the smaller ones being aggressive to just the other small Clowns. Is this one looking to be the...

My favourite fish has to be my angel fish as I put my head up near the glass and s/he always comes to the glass to meet me. Clown loaches come a close 2nd.

yes I could do that but I like the smell of opium and other nice smells from the iol burner.

I read in a LFS that you shoulndt spray air freshener in the same room as the fish tank. Well I dont use air freshener but I do use oil candle burners and scented candles will this harm my fish?   If so is there any other way of freshening up a room without harm.   Thanks.    

No its not only the LFS fault, he should know better. When I got my first fish tank I didnt fill it with water and go straight to the LFS to buy fish. First thing I did I went online joined a couple of fish forums (this one) and asked about and did some research. Which Im glad I did as I knew...

I have one big angel fish with neons and they get on fine, in fact this angel fish of mine is like the friendliest fish in my tank.

Is this normal when lights are off in tank? Some swim motionless at a 45 degree angle but are fine once the lights turn on.

Whats the best way to dispatch of a fish quickly and painless?   this is her not the best picture but you can see the sores and bumps  

Looks like one of my female dwarf Gourami has that thing that's mentioned in the 'dwarf gourami FAQ'.    So what should I do? do I put her out of her misery or try and save her? She is isolated in a quarantine tank at the moment but dont want any suffering.     Also is it likely my other female...

Not sure what a pair would do but my female krib doesnt take any notice of my cories but sometimes she chases away my bleeding heart tetra but only once every now and then. I would like to get her a mate but I like yourself am not sure what they would be like to my other fish, so she is staying...

I have Silica sand in my tank two 20kg bags was plenty enough for a 5ftx2ft tank. 

They mostly get good reviews but be warned that some of them like the one I got make a noise.   Also if you go direct to there website you can probably find a discount code somewhere on the web and get one even cheaper.

I turn off everything in the tanks take 40-50% of old tank water out. Then add my Dechlorinator to the tank then connect a hose up to my shower at the correct temp and bobs your uncle and fanny's your aunt.

I have a clown loach and he has exactly the same symptons as your loach. I have put mine in a quarantine tank and treating him with Anti-fungal and Anti Bacterial medicine. I cant do much more than that other than prayer for him.   He has a silvery patch on one of his sides but not sure if this...

Sorry the pic is a bit grainy it was taken with an ipod touch, if you look at the middle black strip he has a silvery patch on it.  

All other fish are ok and happy, his hiding place was in a place where I can only just about get my finger in. Im setting up a quarantine tank at the moment, but he still has enough life in him to evade capture.

Ive posted in another section before about my Clown loaches hiding well the one that was always staying in one spot, well I decided to remove this hiding place they like and he is not looking actually too good. If looks thin at the moment and is not swimming right. What shall I do?   he's was...

This is the one that always stays in this spot when s/he is out, never moves. Only when s/he goes back to hiding does s/he move.  

I have an APS 2000 external filter, The thing I can say good about it is that it has a good water output and good amount of space for all the filtration materials UV light, easy to clean, a good price for what you get.  Bad things about it for mine is that it is noisy it was like living next to...

I have 7 neons and 13 Glowlight tetras not seen one of the nip since having them.

I did have 6 clown but one died. I have  two caves made out of slate one of these the plec occupies and the other one I think lets to much light in so they dont go in there much. I then have a large fake hollow log which they also dont use, then I have a small fake hollow log and they all cram...
