Can anyone please help identify what is wrong with my Serpaes. I recently picked up a batch of 5 from my LFS. I noticed within a day that 3 of the 5 had what looks like white dead skin on their lips. They seem perfectly happy and show no sympotms other than thir white lips. Water paramaters are...

Ok thanks I will give the pre soaking a try, maybe it may solve the messsy "chewing" process :) Also PM'd you :)

Just wondered what peoples experience is with the NLS pellets? I've been trying to feed the 1mm sinking chiclhid pellets for a few months now and I can't be sure if my Apistos are actually eating the things or just blowing dust around the tank. They certainly rush to suck them into their mouths...

Ok thanks at least I'm sure its not NTD disease now - I will just keep an eye on them - thanks for the replies.

So you think they are just a poor batch or they are not in breeding colours?

About 2 weeks ago I picked up a batch of newly arrived Neon Tetras from my LFS - I immediately noticed that they seemed very pale, especially in the red area but naively assumed this was from the stress of arrival from the supplier to the fish store and assumed that with some TLC and good food...

Thanks I have a pair of apistogramma Agassizii in the tank which I gather are sensitive to low oxygen levels. I know the sirface agitation is sufficient really but I think actually seeing the water churn somewhat more helps to convince me the little guys are getting all the oxygen they need...

I'm a bit concerned with the tiny micro bubbles that my Interpet PF-1 is throwing out. I understand the concept of aeration, maximising surface area for gas exchange etc and I know that bubbles are not necessary as such, just surface agitation. However, I recently suffered a nitrite spike due to...

Thanks - think I'll ditch the Dracaena and stock up with some more Wisteria :)

The guy at my local fish store is friendly enough but in his own words "has no idea" what the plants are that he sells. I have previously bought plants that turned out not to be aquatic at all and merely rotted away after a time. I just wonder if anyone could identify the plants that I currently...

Forgot to mention - water parameters are:   Temp - 25 degrees   0 ammonia 7.2 ph kh 180 gh 250 nitrate 0 nitrite 0

Can anyone help diagnose what is wrong with my female Apistogramma Agassizii - she has two red spots visible either side of her nose, she is rapid breathing with her mouth open. Her mouth looks quite red and raw inside and she is also slightly red under the gill and at the base of the fins near...

Out of interest, what camera and settings are you using for these photos? 

Thanks for the responses. I can never decide whether they are happy playing and chasing each other around, or if this behavior is a result of being in a small tank and being overcrowded... I originally only got the 2 baby Zebras but decided to add the others to satisfy the shoaling instincts...

Ok thanks Mikey - they seem happy enough, as happy as a bunch of psychotic Danios can be I guess - just wanted to check :) Thanks for the reply.

I have 4 Zebra Danios and 3 Leopard Danios in a Fish Pod 48 Litre aquarium - I've noticed that the two largest Leopards quite regularly "display" and flare their fins to each other whilst circling each other. Is this normal behavior? Mating? Or territorial perhaps? Ive made a video and you can...

Wow great shots - the Kribensis are stunning
