Hey Everyone, So for months now one of my tetras has been growing growths around parts of it's body. The gills seem really inflamed too. It still eats fine etc but it's gradually getting worse. Is there anything i can do or is it untreatable?

I'd used it to remove treatment but had left it in for a short time. The carbon has been out for weeks now butbthe algae has got way worse anyway.

I did buy a phosphate testing kit and it appears that my tap water has phosphate in it (1st photo) But my tank water doesn't seem to have any or it's very low (2nd picture) In this case could big water changes cause more damage than good by causing a boost in phosphate?

Hey everyone, So my 240L tank has been running for the last 5 months and had been totally clear until around a week ago. All of a sudden I have algae hair algae growing on all the plants and rocks etc. Since I'd set the tank up I've been using a weekly dose of Flourish along with daily doses...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I only have 4 Corydoras in the 125L tank now so won't be adding them right now. May need to revoke quite a few fish as they start growing as the Acara's were born in the other tank and all survived lol.

Hi everyone! So I've set up a new 240L tank recently. It has a Fluval 306 external filter. I also have a mature 125L tank running a Fluval 206 canister filter. I've moved all the fish from the 125L tank into the 240L but have taken two of the sponge pads along with a handful of ceramics from...

Hi, A week ago my Electric blue Acara's spawned and days later I'd sucked the fry out and into a fry nursery inside the tank due to their numbers appearing to fall daily. Since then the female Acara hasn't eaten and will occasionally spit food out if she bother's to venture towards any food at...

Will I still be ok to use salt with catfish and Bamboo shrimp?

Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - virtually 0 (slight off clear colour)

Today I've found another guppy dead......So that's 3 fish in a week. Just done a water test and everything is fine..

Ok Thanks for your help

My tank is 125L.

The others seem ok, But a female honey gourami did randomly die one day last week but she just suddenly appeared lifeless at the bottom of the tank. Wasn't sure if my Acara's had attacked her but I couldn't see any injuries.

Thanks, My tank looks terribly dirty in that corner I hate not being able to help fish in this situation. I have no idea what has even happened.

She DID float days ago. I've just put her back into the main tank so I can show you on the video and she just sinks. I don't think she'll last much longer now

I can't really get a video at the moment as I've put her into an ice cream tub with lots of holes in which is floating in the top of the tank so you can't she the issue too well. I'll give it a go though. She's basically swimming vertically with her head up and is bobbing all over the place. She...

Hey everyone, Hope you're well. My female guppy has had swim bladder issues for the last 3 days. I didn't feed her for 2 days and then tried giving her peas. Is this the best approach to take? Today I also went to a fish store and bought some swim bladder treatment but when I'd got home I'd...

I'd made this earlier this morning and moved her into it with plants but she's literally sat in one of the plants now hardly moving.

I may have an icecream tub to try. I've already made a fry net so don't have a lot of room haha Yeah she's definitely a female as her and the male bred 2 weeks after I'd got them. She dropped eggs and everything.

Thanks for your help guys. Unfortunately I don't have a separate tank right now and can't get one until this lockdown is over. The gourami's are a male and female pair as I've seen them breed and it's the female in that video. Weeks ago on one occasion I did see the female gourami nip the...

Tank is 125L. Ammonia is 0, Nitrite is 0, Nitrate is virtually zero. (Tap water Nitrate <1.45) Hardness 2.31 Tank mates: Platies, Guppies, 2x male Acara, Corydoras, Glow Lights, Male Honey Gourami, Bamboo shrimp, Pleco I usually do water changes every weekend and take out around 20-30%

Hi everyone, I've noticed that over the last few weeks my honey gourami is looking unwell. Hopefully this video helps to show that there is something wrong with her scales on her side? is it some kind of bacterial infection?

Hi everyone, I woke up today and noticed my small platy with some kind of injury under it's dorsal fin. Not sure if there's anything i can do or if i just leave it?
