Hi wilder & tttnjfttt again, Just thought I'd pop back to give you an update. The parrot it turns out out "Fin rot" We noticed the day after these posts that one of her fins was really ragged. Treated the problem & Thank Goodness she's back to normal, terrorising the Plec. Lol Fella : Point...

Thanks for the replies Both of you :) I'll take note of what you've said, about the water etc. Hopefully she'll survive & it is just constipation. Never again will we use tap water to rinse filters! The fish mean a lot to all of us. We don't want to lose any of them. Thanks Once again...

Normally, every 3ish weeks we do a 30% water change. We had a bad algae problem & we were advised to do a 30% change every other day for a week. Then, 30% once a week for 3 weeks. After that everything was fine. Her Scales seem fine. She's not changed in appearance except for a slight swelling...

I checked the tap water Nitrite = 0ppm Nitrate = 5.0 ppm The tank is 48" x 18" x 15"

Thank you both. I'll check the tap water reading asap. The Sharks are 1) 3" & 2) 2.5" The Plec's are 1) 14" & 2) 13.5"

I think its a Gravel Vac.

Hi again Wilder, errrm Fluval 4, Fluval 104, Fluval 404? Not sure how many gallons it turns over. We just assumed three filters, (Two external would be enough) You're right, we do care about the fish. We've all grown attached to them. It would be a great shame if we lost the parrot as she is...

The tanks been set up for over 6 months, Algae prob in the beginning but up until now its been fine.

Ok you've lost me now. -_- We changed between 40 & 50% of the water last night. Does this mean it has to recycle ? Can this be speeded up by adding anything to the tank ? :S :S @ the size of the Sharks when fully grown. I blame my Mum Lol the fish originally belonged to her, we've just...

Hi, Can anyone help please ? Yesterday we changed approx 40% - 50% of the tank water, it had become very dirty & smelly due to a clogged filter. During the water change the Parrot went white as she usually does during this. Last night she was very lethargic, not bullying the other fishes as she...
