We have been treating the tank with King British WS3 white spot terminator for a week but it does not seem to be clearing and we have today lost our first fishes – 1 cherry barb & 3 penguin fish. We have been using half doses due to having several lightly scaled fish in the tank, but they are...

Just popped in our LFS for some live food when spotted some Checker Barbs in there. They were very similar to the fry with the spots and shape so reckon that's what he/she is. Not so similar to ours because ours are so much darker in colour. Definately not a cory fry has we got the live food to...

Bred some guppies because stocks getting low and have transferred to a separate tank for rearing. One problem tho, have a fry that the more he/she grows is nothing like a guppy! Other fish that were in the tank were Checkered Barbs, Glowlight Tetras, Peppered Corys, Salt and Pepper Corys...

Hi all I have a Cory barbatus that has had pink/white mark just back from left eye. Had been there for a month or so and thought it was just a scrape or wound from a fight? Noticed that she was not swimming around much yesterday and took a closer look at her mark to see that it seemed to be...

We have 2 peppered corys that seem to have trouble staying at the bottom of the tank of late. They are resting most of the time in the plants at mid to top layer of the tank and noticed that one of them had to use the bogwood to hold himself to the bottom. Tested the water and all levels...

Just cycled a 20 gal in 10 days using the fishless cycle method...longest bit was tracking down the ammonia source :) Used filter and plants from another tank to seed it first tho ;-)

Anyone know of where I can get a hood that is presentable from both sides as I am setting a tank up that is jutting out from a wall? Looked around the net and the pics of most hoods do not give the back detail :( the hood needs to fit a 36 x 12 tank. Me crosses fingers or it looks like the tools...

just run the tests again and all showing zero again corys and pl*co doing fine but the damn guppy fry keeps disappearing into the int filter!! thxs again fo all the advice looks like thro the worse now :)

test all show zero levels but the ph has gone up to 7.5? is that due to the increase o2 from the airstones? all the remaining fish seems back to normal feeding swimming habits (not that i have added any food in apart for the fry when we can get near him/her) hopefully thro the worse will check...

This morning we discovered our previously healthy fry had nearly all died. we assumed this was the unfortunate result of using a breeding trap and we have heard one similar story. However upon checking the tank this evening we have now discovered all our guppies hovering at water surface along...
