Awww he is beautiful!! :wub:

Here is my video for you all.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwjl4q_waTs Cheers :)

Well just an update. Lotus is doing just fine :good: . Really active, greedy little pig again. I am currently uploading a video of him for you all to see who we have been talking about. His eye is just as bad though so he does look a little funny but i just love him :wub:

Ok, I dosed some last night. It says to dose again in 4 days. I assume i do not do a water change until then? :blink: He was very active again this morning :wub:

Do you know if it is added to the tank or do i remove Lotus to a container?

Thank you Honeythorn, I'll try and get some tomorrow :good:

I've just had a close look at him, the scales around the bad eye seem to be protruding slightly :look: What could this be?

Well ... I've come home from work and he seems so much better!! He is swimming about almost as much as he normally does :nod: he even came to greet me when I walked in :wub: I have dropped 4 little pellets in and he gobbled the lot :lol: I've done another 50% water change and will keep...

Thank you for the reply. Where can i buy the spectrum anti-biotic? As far as the salt is concerned, I have just read you can buy this from a chemist? (I only have aquarium salt, so I will NOT use this), I take him out of his tank and treat with the salt in a container? I hope is is ok when...

Well this morning checked on him, he is sat on the heater so he is close to the surface for air. I dropped a pellet right in front of him and he ate it, tried another but wasn't interested. I am at work now so i won't know how is doing :( I don't think my boss would understand me going home...

He stays on the bottom, sometimes on his side, and then goes to get some air and back down again, I am so gutted, it just doesn't look good. I am trying to stay positive but he looks so so fed up :-( :no:

Apparently it may have been caused by injury :(

Thanks for the replies :) He's not looking good unfortunately ... he's just lying on the sand barely moving and not really going up for any air :(

I came home today, checked on Lotus and he never came to greet me :( He was lay in the Java Fern then i noticed his big eye :( I really thought he had died because he never moved, so i got all upset but then my b/f shouted me saying he just went and got some air. I have changed 50% of the...

I use Blagdon (Interpet) Fresh start, I think it was about £6 and has saved me a small fortune! 1 x 25ml for every 227 litres!

:hyper: oh, wow, then no.6 too :) I think he is a little different and a bit funky! :lol:

Yeah perhaps soak it first. Sorry to change the subject but I love your tank, what plant is that in the middle (looks a bit like little lily pads)?

OMG OMG they are all gorgeous, if I had to pick one I would say No.1 :drool:

Hello :) Pest snails, normally come in on plants! First thing to do is reduce the amount of food you are feeding your fish. I bought an Assasin snail which eat them, there are lots of empty shells in my tank now :) Hope this helps.

OMG soooo beautiful!! and amazing photo's!! :wub: What camera do you use?

Awwww thanks very much :blush: He is such a show off!! :lol:

Aww I am so sorry to hear that, RIP Lunar xxxx

And now all clean again!

I have tonight done my water change and cleaned again. I have changed the time on the light to come on at 3.00pm and have also increased the flow very slightly as there was no movement at all. I am also considering getting some fast growing plant and filling the back of the tank with this to...

Mine does this when the other tank light goes off. He goes mad!! Don't worry too much, he should calm down :)

OMG thanks for sharing all this with us. :wub: x

Hi ya, Thanks for the reply. No leaves lost...Anubias is attached to a rock, java fern attached to some wood. I don't think I am over feeding :/ , He has 6 pellets a day, sometimes more because he makes me :lol: I rarely see any pooh on the sand from him, although I can now see snail pooh...

I have added 2 Nirite snails which seem to be ok so far, (Lotus hasn't attacked them)

Yeah I did try Pygmy Corydoras but Lotus thought they were food! :lol: He is a very large Betta so they wereso tiny compared to him :)

I would love to but my Betta tank is only 28L so its way too small for one, but thanks for the offer x Yeah ok, I will give that a go, I only have lowlight plants. Anubias, Java Fern and Crypts. :)

The light is 11w 6500k and I have it on from 12:00 til 9.00pm. It is not in direct sunlight :good: Yeah I will sort the problem :good:

Hi all I have noticed every week I have to really scrub Lotus's tank due to algae all over my plants and the glass. My other tanks does not suffer this due to good flow, but obviously Lotus's tank I can't increase the flow. I have a bit of sponge over the filter outlet and there is hardly...

Looking good :good: What fish you going to have in there? Is it cycled ready?

Awww you mean my Lotus :wub: xx They are lovely inchworm, glad you have them x

I tried to add some Pygmy's with my Betta, I removed my Betta first, added the Pygmy's but my Betta still thought they were his dinner :lol: The tank mates he has now is 2 Nirite snails. They are lovely and are keeping the tank clean. :good:

The only ones I know are Vallis and a Amazon Sword (2nd pic for both) Vallis is the thin strandy ones ... the Sword is the biggest one with nice white roots :good: The rest ... stem plants ... just put them in the substrate :fun: I'm sure someone will know the others though :)

Hmmm ... no idea what that means :P Perhaps just post the link from Photobucket directly into the reply here then and then we can look ourselves?

You need to upload the photos to a hosting site ... Photobucket etc Then on the screen where you're replying to posts there's a little photo frame icon at the top ^^^^ click it ... then paste the "Direct Link" in that box ... Voila ... done :good:

That would be the best bet :good:
