I have setup my new tank, somewhat smaller than my 70 litre - a 30 litre, only got it due to the fact my mate gave it to me and it had a light - my old tank didnt. I have put sand into the tank, aft i was 3/4 full of water, and its taken about 4 hours to get kinda clear, how long doe it...

nope it got better before it gave me chance the ungratefull little fishy!

well it seems to have a little bit of colour back today nd is eating, its belly looks a little better today, could it be recovering?

I usually put a pillow or blanket arund the tank, if its going to be more than a 167 hour period I would consider moving the fish to a friends house in a new (clean) container that can withstand the water temps from the heater etc. You may loose fish but better than losing everything

Hey all, I have been given an old tank from a friend, he is moving house and the tank has been collecting water outside for a few months. I have a few concerns! 1 - The tank has been outside in the cold, we havent had a lot of ice but we have had some, whats the likely hood of damage and how...

Hey all, I have a sick Harley. Its not eating and swimming at a 45 degree angle with its head up. Its shying away from the rest of the shoal of Harleys, fins clased to its side, muth going like the clappers. It doesnt appear to have a nice belly either - as if its lost loads of weight, any...

Woke up this morning and checked the fish, saw that one was hanging back, - they all normally rush up to the glass to see me (aka get fed), the one that was hanging back has a very swollen eye. I tried to get a picture she she is hiding away from me, even at feeding shes not too bothered but...

sounds stupid but try these - one at a time in no particular order - but first and foremost - hoover, yes hoover your bed. take all the covers off hoover it 3 times, leaving 30 mins betwen each hoovering, put new clean bed linen on. (also try another linen cleaner). do it in the am, allow the...

when its time for me to get up in the am, my corys start jumping and the others all start to follow suit. once I turn the light on/get out of bed, ll the fish fight for the position at the corner nearest the bed, as they know I will get up and give them the brekkie, no matter what time of day...

i cant put the small tank in as that tank is in use as my sisters "sea monkey" aquarium. (Yes i am saying to her they will go down well in my main tank) tbh I dont want any young but my dad does. He is setting up a tank for them as i type this. I have a small plastic tank I have flosted in the...

I am slowly but surely loosing all of my tetras, they are apparently "albino" tetras. They all seem ok, but after a feed, one of them dies. this doesnt matter if it is flake or live food. ll my other fishes are fine and happy, and as I type this I am seeing another one die.its at the top of...

I have been sold 10 tetras, i was told they were albino tetras but looking on the net they arent the same fish The fish have a red tail, starting from halfway along the body, but only covering the lower half of the body, they have a very very thin blue stripe that runs almost to the tail. the...

I have bought myself a small shoal of "albino" tetras. All but one is okay the one in question has red eyes and just follows the rest of the shoal around at the back, and keeps bumping into things. I cant get a photo as they are tooooo small and fast for me to take a photo. It seems happy...

get the fish in a net and look at it very closely see if the gills are moving at atll, if not remove the fish ASAP. hopefully someone will be able to advise you as to whats happend. How are the rest of the fish in the tank? any small "dots" or strange flicking or anything out of the norm?
