Thanks for your help, I'll check out NTD. The tank is cycled, as shown in the parameters I included in the original post. I wonder if the temp is too high for the neons and pearl danios? That article suggest that and PH should be lower. Strange how the danios have been fine for more than a...

The numbers of fish in my tank have depleted by half in the last 2 weeks. It all began when I introduced 4 new guppies and 2 new platies Two guppies and 1 platy dies within 48 hours Two more shortly after Since then I have lost 2 cardinal tetras and 2 danios... There's not much left :( I...

Hi all, so I am back again with another emergency!   I have a 100L (22 gallon)  tank stocked with:   3 guppies 6 danios (mixed) 3 cardinal tetras 1 platy 1 plec   2 days ago, to that I added   2 guppies (2 white tail, 2 red) 2 platies   All was going well until I turned the tank light on this...

I posted about a month ago after a platy suddenly got ill. It's back was bent and after a few days it died. Well I hadn't noticed any other problems - until now. One of my guppies I noticed has suddenly lost a large part of its tail. I've changed the water and treated the tank with melafix. But...

I know but it's not, honest! I'm going to try and get my hands on a quarantine tank today, I'm worried it could be fish TB.

I noticed they were in the last day or two. Another platy has clamped fins too, and doesn't look great. I have two other platties that are fine. I introduced four guppies to the tank about 2 weeks ago that I have seen picking on the two sick platies, I wonder if that's the cause? PS she is...

Here it is:

Managed to take a pic of it:

This is my first tropical tank, I've only had it for 6 months or so. Why?

I only got her a few months ago. It's quite dramatically bent, from being totally fine a few hours ago. She's now hiding in the corner looking sorry for herself :(.

I don't have a spare tank unfortunately. I have a spare filter and a bucket, but I feel like I would just stress it more by moving it. The other fish are leaving it alone.

Hi all, I noticed one of my platys was missing so I went looking for her in the tank. When I moved one of the decorations she came swimming out all crooked and bent. She looked absolutely fine yesterday, it almost looks as though she somehow got stuck under it. Well she now has a hunched back...

The tanks have had a partial water change and gravel clean tonight. I just hope I don't lose anything else.    Can danios explode?! It looks like that may have been what happened.    Not pleasant :(

Nothing out of the norm. They all look fine, and they are eating fine.   Ah thanks, don't know much about him, other than he is fascinating! I might put a pic up and see if anyone can tell me what he is, thanks. 

Hi all,   About 3 months ago I bought a second hand 100L (22gallon) tank from a lady that lives nearby. It has been up and running for more than a year, and I inherited her fish:   2 mollies 2 zebra danio 1 pleco (I think dwarf) 1 neon tetra   I added to it 2 danios that I already had in another...

Right I don't understand this at all. After showing nitrites last night, I just tested again tonight and there aren't any :(. still 4ppm ammonia though. Why am I getting nitrites and then they are dissapearing?! I'm near Galashiels, they do actually have a good selection there. I just wish I...

That's what I have been doing, but it's making loads of mess! I'll have to give it a good clean when I'm finished.

Oh, hi! Any idea where I can get ammonia in a bottle round here? Also, is there somewhere other than P@H that stocks tropical fish?! Thanks.

Ammonia back up and showing nitrites tonight! And cloudiness gone down a bit! Shall I wait until ammo goes down before adding fish? Ammo 4ppm Nitrite .50ppm Nitrate 0ppm

I am in the Scottish Borders (UK) unfortunately nowhere sells it, I had a good search! I did a large water change already and the smell went. I looked this morning and the water looks a bit clearer. I'll test the water tonight and post results to see if I can maybe get (maybe just one) fish in...

Hi, I decided to get just a small handful of tropical fish for my living room. So far it's been an unmitigated disaster! I bought my tank, sand and decorations from pets at home. It is an aqua one aqua start 320, 28l, and came wih an internal filter and I bought a heater. My first mistake...
