    Advice needed. Disease or Evil Fish. 3 dead, 1 certainly dead by tomorrow.

    Video can be found here. Note the Cory that got in the scuffle does appear to be still alive, in the video. Still doubt that will be long term. Picture of the tank - I will try and get some of the fish throughout the day and upload later.

    If you generalize a little... what kind of fish do you like???

    Cory's, I prefer the False Julii's I have over other varieties such as Peppered/Bronze or Albino. They are not bright/colourful but amazing patterns and characters.

    Advice needed. Disease or Evil Fish. 3 dead, 1 certainly dead by tomorrow.

    So some of you may seen a post around a guppy I had that I had to euthanise. It was sat at the bottom of the tank for a considerable period of time, not moving, not eating even when the food was near and eventually was going to die and get eaten. If so you will also know that I lost a guppy a...

    Molly is very big - normal??

    I had a dalmation Molly once that was sold as female (It did look it) I bought it with 3 other similar Mollies (2 more female and a male) 3 months later is was completely black, male and about twice the size of the other Mollies. (Even though people say females are bigger) Spent its days...

    Listless and panting guppy

    Sad to hear. Had a similar experience a week ago, same symptoms. Because another guppy dissapeared shortly before, I took the euthanizing option. I do not have a 2nd tank and did not want to risk something that could be passed on.

    Do you guys not like tank backgrounds???

    So personally I would prefer no background in mine (If I remember correctly how it looked without one......) I find the backgrounds detract from the fish and decor within the aquarium. They are usually blues, greens, browns........ But I have lots of green and brown in the tank that probably...

    I have hair algae, what would help

    You hint that it's a new tank setup. When I first set mine up I went through various phases of different algae types going to exteme levels. As things stableized, plants grew and through regular cleaning via scraping and using a straw brush for hairy algae things did settle down. I still get...

    A Beginner's Shrimp Journal

    I get the same, I bought 18 at the end of March over 2 weekends. 4 died within a week of the first batch. (Confirmed corpses) For ages I see 3-4 shrimp at a time and think maybe I lost alot more. Then one day I get 10 in view all at once and this was not relating to any feeding time or anything...

    Weird brown/gray fluffy growths?

    So I would not say its a cause for immediate concern depending how quickly it is growing. I've had it here and there in small quantities usually on my Java Fern. I just cut the leaf off and dispose. It does spawn on other leaves but the Java Fern tends to grow new leaves as fast as I cut them...

    Dying Guppy

    Thanks Colin, When you say white, do we mean white white or whiter than the usual. I did see a Guppy with a light beige coloured poop though I would not say it was stringy. The only reason I noticed it was because I had read too many articles that day on white poops being bad. But I will stress...

    Dying Guppy

    Hi all, Have a small problem where I think one of my guppies may be dying. But not really sure why. Since Friday (First time noticed) it has been sat at the bottom of the tank, or on a leaf, breathing rapidly, not eating. Once or twice I have seen it swim to the other guppies but shortly after...

    Which master test kit?

    I have the NT Labs kit myself and found it quite good and reasonable on price. As a mini bonus it came with stickers for the test tubes the box acts as a stand to hold them in whilst you test.

    Snail Identification

    Hi All, Was just doing my evening feed and discovered this little fella climbing up the glass. I've not had snails in the tank before, cannot see any more of these after close examination and last added some plants around 3-4 weeks ago (Assume it came part of them) Does anyone know what type...

    Shrimp Lollies

    Not sure what shops you have in Ireland. but €15 for 6 sounds extreme I have generally seen them £6-£8 for 12. Which I think is more around €7-8. So I would do a bit more shopping around. You can also buy these strange little stickmen to hold them......... (Note this is not mine, I have no...

    A quick intro...

    I have been to lots of pets at home around my way, think we have 3-4. I have never seen a healthy fish so would certainly avoid, they also can rarely answer any of my questions. Maidenhead seems a bit hit or miss, I do hear some bad things but again got 3 of them in my vicinity, only visited...

    Does "Bottled" Bacteria Really Help Cycling?

    Suprised to see this, and glad it worked for you. That being said, I did try the same product for my new tank, and I did not see the same results. Still took 2-3 weeks for my tank to be fish suitable. Which I am sure would of been the case without it. So worried they make the statemen...
