They have no trouble in going to the toilet, their bums all look ok. the two that went thin had not eaten for a few days. I always make a point of watch my fish at feeding time as this is when most of them come out of their hiding holes and I can get a good look at them.

the first two fish that die were thin and had clamped fins this is why I treated for a bacterial infection. I have done several water changes and this has perked the fish up. the fish with the jagged fins are like they have been nibbled, but I have no agressive fish in my tank. There is no...

Over the last week I have lost 7 fish. I noticed at the beginning of the week that 2 of the fish had clamped fins and so I treated them for a bactierial (sp) infection. the rest have shown no signs at all. the rest of my fish have been fine and I have suffered no loses over the last couple days...

before I would trailed the internet looking for certain catfish that my lfs has but know I will able to refer to my book. I agree that it only mentions the species and where it came from and the size that it can grow to. it could have gone one better and included breeding etc. But as far as...

Visited my lfs today for some plants, only to find he had 8 different varties of cory's. being a cory fan couldn't help my self from buying some. I ending up walking away with 2 x corydoras axelrodi and 2 x coryodas sp. C121 (beautiful), just to add to my growing collection. Any way after a...

Really enjoyed reading your posts, very funny in some places. Just one question though, How many Betta's do you have? I lost count

I wish I could say Yes, but no we had Guppies, Albino catfish, Mollies, just peaceful fish :no: 1 good thing came out of it, I'm now the owner of a lovely 55g tank with all the fish I want (not what he wants) he he. He has no say so what I do with it. Also I love fish keeping

What started you fish keeping My partner wanted a tropical fish tank, as he'd always wanted one. Only to find that after we had bought one and it came to water changes etc he was frightened of putting his hand in the tank in case the fish would bite him (I'm not joking). So now its my tank, my...

I have 6 piecesof bogwood in my tank, and within a couple of months they all had furry stuff on them. I bought a couple of apple snails, they munched the lot - I never had furry stuff again.

If you have little or no time for your fish then why did you take them in the first place. Fish are pets too and they deserve all the care and attention that you would give to any other pet. Please for the sake of your fish and there well being, listen to people's advise.

I have 2 Bolivian Rams in my tank with 2 x Bronze, 2 x Juli, 1 x Panda & 2 x Albino Catfish. They all get on fine. At one point when the rams fell out, one of them used to swim around with one of my albino cat fish. Diane

I bought 2 Bolivian Rams nearly a week ago, and they settled in nicely - cruising around the tank. I was higly delighted with my purchase. :D everything was wonderful until last night, the rams are squaring up to each other and charging like bulls. the have taken to living at opposite ends of...

Thank you Diane x

Please forgive me if this sounds like a silly question. I bought frozen bloodworm for the first time today, can you put a block in whens frozen or do I need to defrost it first? Diane x

Apart from the fish, I have 1 cat Tandy (13yrs old) likes to attack you on the stairs 2 x cavalier king charles spaniels - mad as hatters. Henry - short and fat, very vocal, loves his food Charlie - thin and slender, loves chasing flies :)

Thanks for that. :)

I have just set my tank up today and Iam puzzled with filter system. On my last tank the water out of the filter was mixed with air this putting oxygen in to the tank. In the Vision 260 this seems not to be the case. The water is circling round but with no bubbles ( so to speak). Is this right?

:) Just thought I'd say hi. I am in the process of setting up my second tank. so no fish as yet I had my first tank 10 years ago but with moving around with my job I had to re - home it.
