API test kit. Washed the gravel with tap water an no chemicals, wasn't concerned about the clorine as I was treating that with stress coat when I added the water.

I had the old cycled noodles in the tank filter, ammonia was 0

Both snails were upright moving around yesterday, I used API Stress Coat and API quickstart, water is from the tap, I treated it an cycled it for a few hours before putting them in. Both were upside down this morning an dead never seen that happen in the 4 months I've had them. Strangely I've...

Hi all a quick run down of what happend lately. Ive had my Nerite snails for about 4months, they live with a single Betta in a 30litre tank everything was fine they were moving around eating all the algae until recently.50% of water is changed every 10 days an all water parameters seem decent PH...

Interesting thread, I have a Betta which is roughly 8months old the 1st month I was trialing so many types of foods with him, fluval tropical flakes,API Betta flakes,frozen brine shrimp, spirulina flakes, frozen krill, API pellets, he didn't eat any of them at all. The only thing he eats is...

No problem with the food dye idea, another quick question, does there need to be a certain silicone that needs to be used for fish tanks. I have bathroom an shower water proof sealent, the chemicals in the silicone won't kill the fish? Sanitary grade silicone Watertight seal Acetic cure...

You can see the water damage, the top lid of the cabinet is swollen.

Water was all over the bottom of the tank an the cabinet timber was all swollen because of moisture, currently filled the bottom part of the tank with food die an seeing if it's leaking at the bottom silicone joints, I will silicone all the joints again to be safe anyway, but curious to see...

I don't have my filter or pump running in the tank just the noodle media, I just put the airstone in the middle of the tank to get some sort of flow in there, still ok?

Woke up today an water dropped about an inch overnight 130 litre tank,water is leaking from somewhere maybe the silicone sealant around the edges somewhere. I moved my fish into a big plastic tub 100litres with the water from the tank into the tub, but only used half the water as it's only a...

Hello everyone rather than me start a new thread I've just used my old thread an re-named the title with a new problem. I have a Betta that I believe has fin rot, I have been treating him with tri sulpha for the last 2 weeks an dosing every 3 days as recommended. I haven't been seeing any...

My betta was very curious an tried to peck the ram through the bag many times, but unfortunately the ram passed away this morning, I had the top of the bag just under the outlet so it flowed inside the bag, did a water test in the bag this morning had little to no ammonia inside the bag. There's...

Is it ok to keep the ram in a zip lock bag overnight, then empty the water into the tank an put new tank water in next day? The bag is submerged in the tank with the heater on, have a small amount of food in the bag also, incase he gets hungry, it's a 2.5litre zip lock back in a 30litre tank...

I bought 2 Blue rams a few weeks ago both seemed fine, then about 1 week ago I noticed a small white patch on the side of his head. I continued to monitor it for the next few days it became bigger little by little. Until yesterday it became large I also noticed the other ram pecking at it...

It went away, checked this morning wasn't there, put the bubbles on for a few hours then came back an he had it again, it's clear an see through it's like he has a Balloon on the end of his fin underneath. Is it the air bubbles that are getting trapped under his fins or something? I harly ever...

his in a large tank with other fish, the salt wont effect the other fish will it? or should i get another tank to put him in to just treat him? i went to the fish shop today an was told to take him to a vet clinic, but the prices were 5x the amount of what the betta cost was so expensive.

Doesn't look like it's coming out of his anus, looks like it's on the side of his bottom fin , it's not stringy, it's just a big bubble, that's all tangled up in his fins. How do I fix this?
