Just a little update, I've just done a water change, and alls gone well, and I've just found I've got a couple of things that might help, I have a box of Pure Aquarium crystal balls that are supposed to keep the aqairuium crystal clear and treat the bacteria, and break down the ammonia and...

Ok thanks again for the advice, I'll do as you say and see if anything changes overnight

Does this explain the strange behaviour from the 2 endlers then ? The swimming on one side and swivelling around eratically ?

Ahh I see, well even though I've been doing it wrong, I have been washing the filter media in tap water for 4-5 months and nothings gone wrong yet apart from these 2 endlers now. So I'll see how it goes and wash it in the old tank water from now on. Thanks for the advice

I dont think it's whirling disease, I had a look at a video on youtube and it's not as bad as that.     Old spouse- I've not changed my routine at all, however when I clean my filter I wash the sponge and the biomax and carbon stuff in tap water... although it is pretty much dry by the time I...

Apoligies for that, the tank is a 46L Fluval Edge which has been set up for approx 6 months, I've had the fish in there for about 4-5 months with no problems apart from a guppy that randomly died and a small neon tetra getting caught in the filter. The rest have been fine up to now. The tank was...

Hi guys, I seem to have a problem with a couple of my fish, I have 5 endlers livebearers amongst 3 guppies, 2 platy's, and 2 neon tetras.   2 of the 5 endlers are not looking too good, they're swimming on their sides and kind of swivelling round rapidly like they're out of control. What the...

Hi guys, I think my amazon sword has got a bit out of hand so I think I should remove some of the leaves, is it just a case of cutting each leaf as low as i can on the stem? will it grow back ok ?   At the bottom of the large piece of wood on the left side of the tank is a plant which has lots...

Thanks for that, I'll get some towells and stuff sorted and they should be fine then :) Thanks again

Thanks guys, I have 5 endlers livebearer, 2 neon tetras, 1 harlequin rasbora (soon to be taken out) 4 guppies and 2 platy's. It's the fluval edge 46L and the current temp of the tank is 24 degrees. I won't have hot water tomorrow either.

Hi guys, the electricty poles down my road are being replaced tommorow and have been told the electricity will be off from 9am to 5pm, although it's unlikely it will be off up untill 5pm, I'm not taking any chances to I'm going to assume it will be off all day. Will my fish be OK with the heater...

Thanks for the replies!  I see what your saying about the neons, they were my very first fish in the tank so I wouldn't want to part with them lol.  Do you not think I could get away with keeping the Harlequin and still adding a couple of neon tetras or should I just return it?  I have kept on...

Hi guys, I've had my tropical fish tank set up for about 3 months now. Not exactly new but I have a few questions I need to ask.   A bit about the tank first, currently in there is 2 Wagtail Platy's, 4 Guppies (2 yellow tail 2 orange tail), 2 neon tetras, 1 Harlequin Rasbora (other one got...
