Thanks for your reply this is really helpful. We have recently added 4 Gouramis about 1 week ago so i assume this must be the cause of the ammonia spike. I am doing daily water changes and the ammonia is coming down slowly.

The temp is 27. Yes my tank is cycled. I did to partial water changes yesterday and one today and the reading is much lower. It is now reading between 0.25 and 0.5 so I will keep doing 2 water changes per day. Fish look so much happier and are acting normal

The Guppys and the tetras have started swimming normally so maybe there was something they were interested in. The Gouramis are mainly staying near the bottom of the tank and we have 1 tetra which is staying near the bottom of the tank and doesnt look like he has any evergy to swim so that...

Hi all,   I have a 100 litre fish tank with 5 Rummy nose tetras, 6 guppies and 4 honey gouramis.   I have done a partial water change this morning as i did a water test and for some reason the ammonia was higher than normal.   I am at work and my partner has now contacted me to say the Gouramis...

I did everything I could for him but unfortunately he was found dead this morning. Keeping a close eye on the other but they all seem fine nd are eating.

I wouldnt say it was after a water change. He comes out when i do a water change do to the disturbance. I did a water change last night and he continued to hid in the plant again after or just float around in the middle of the tank. I have been watching him closing to see if there is anything...

He's been in there about 2 weeks. No I can't see any evidence of anything. The other fish don't bother him at all anymore. He kind of just drifts around the middle of the tank or stays begin the plant. Sorry just read back my original post. It's the small tetra that's hiding.

Tank is 100l. I was worried he wasn't going to make it through the night but he has survived. He's not really swimming around just floating now in the middle of the tank. At times it looks like he is tilting on an angle but pulls himself back up straight.

I have 6 rummy nose tetras which have been in my tank for around 2 weeks. I think the smallest tetra was getting bullied as he spent a lot if time hiding in the corner and behind a plant. He started coming out from the plant and swimming with the others and seemed fine for a few days. I have...

The tank is 100l and we have just the 12 fish. It seemed to settle down after half an hour and the tetras left the guppies alone. I will keep a close eye on it and re home them if it continues.

No the guppies are bigger!

I have 6 rummy nose tetras who have been in the tank for around 2 weeks. I have now added 6 male Gupys to the tank. The rummy nose tetras are chasing my Gupys round the tank and nipping at them. This is forcing them to swim at the too of the tank and one gupy hiding in the corner. Is this...

I have tested for ammonia too which is 0.25. I put in fish food every other day

Yeah got it set up now and the filter isn't noisy at all..

I purchased this tank from cadbury garden centre and I think it's good for a first tank

Ph 6.5 nitrite 0 and nitrates 20. I have a heater and plastic plants. He doesn't always hide in a corner. Quite often he hides behind the plant and when the other fish swim behind he makes his way to a corner he does come out to swim and times and comes out for food. And temp 26

All parameters are fine and tank was cycled. Tank is 100 l and we only have the six rummy nose as our first lot of fish

Hi all, I have 6 rummy nose tetras that have been in the tank for about 5 days. They started off swimming in a group and they still do sometimes but one of the tetras hides behind a plant or hangs in a corner at the top of the tank. Any ideas? Is he being bullied?

Thanks Fluttermoth.   I have read loads of threads about cycling the tank and fishless cycles but i have read some contradicting things and just wanted some clarification.   I have got a testing kit and carried out a few tests before the water went cloudy and i was going to leave it until it...

Hi all,   I am very new to this and is have been reading the internet for days now and is have read and been told so many different things just wanted to see what you guys think.   I bought my first fish tank from a local pet store, it’s a 100L tank and came with a built in filter at the top...
