yes he is alone (as in no other YoYos - the napping description is spot on. I will keep an eye on him - he was so lively at first so its surprised me a bit.

I am completely at a loss as to what is wrong with my YoYo. He has taken to lying in the plants (about midway up) and just sitting there. He is not eating to my knowledge and hardly swimming - yet he looks fine. No outward signs of illness or injury. Water params are spot on, done all the...

Thank you for enlightening me - could not find the deathbydying website ?

I have just been to my LFS and saw a tankful of the most beautiful fish. I asked what they were and the LFS keeper said Coloured Widows. They are very delicate fish which are silverly coloured with a stripe of blue or pink at the top and flowing fins. Any ideas?

I have guppies and Cardinal tetras together with no problems - they make a nice combination

Hi, firstly I would be careful about buying from an online store - if you can go and see the fish you buy and the conditions they are kept in it will be better. General rule of thumb is 1 gallon to 1 inch of fish so you would be overstocked.

Basically you should only have 10 inches of fish in your tank good luck!

My African Clawed Frog seems to be acting strange, floating at the top of the tank all the time and hiding behind the heater. Any ideas

How long have you had them?What are they and how many ?

I have a female molly who has developed one white eye - its completely white and not bulging or anything. Her behaviour and feeding is normal. Any views?

I have come home to suddenly find my male molly (Pongo) who I have had for 7 months at the bottom of the tank, head down tail upright looking very ill. I then went to get him out and he rolled over upside down - seemed like he had completely lost ability to swim. No other physical signs to...

Having had a set of guppy fry and dalmation molly fry appear in my tank without my witnessing the birth I am delighted to announce I have now seen the birthing process! Another guppy had fry today, I watched her pop them out all afternoon (really are time wasters arent they - got nothing done...

Agree with dwarfgourami. I have just been away for 5 days and come home to lots of baby dalmation mollies! They were thriving in the floating plants and I have carefully netted them and put them in to the breeding net which already has baby guppies in and floats in my main tank. This way I...

Nope, she didnt make it. Maybe if I had been here I could have done something more - but being away for 5 days meant it was not picked up quickly. So weird, nothing obvious at all wrong with her. Put it down to one of those things. Having a new batch of mollie fry when I got home has helped...

well done to you too! Its a shock when you aren't expecting to see them! This is the 2nd time I have missed the birth. Makes you feel good though.

I have just been away for the weekend and have come home to find I have lots of new babies! We had our first batch of baby guppies a couple of weeks ago so there I was checking the breeding net, all doing very nicely - when suddenly I thought I saw one outside of the net. How could that be? I...

She did make her way up and was sort of on her side in the plants getting air, I was on PC posting this message so did not see her swim up - but she sort of sank back down and is now at the bottom lying on the gravel against the glass. I cannot separate her as have no other tank - her tummy...

Just come back from a weekend away and found my gourami is sitting on the bottom of the tank, not swimming or eating. There are no obvious signs externally as to what is wrong. All my other fish are fine. My readings in the tank are perfect. I think I may be too late to save her but should I...

it really is just lying on the floor against the glass, not doing anything. I think its too late and am considering euthanising but would like to know if I need to treat tank for anything? Have been away for weekend to come home and find this situation so not seen her go to toilet for a few...

My female Dwarf Gourami is just lying on bottom of tank not moving. She looks ok, possibly a little swollen tummy but scales, fins are fine. All my other fish in the tank are ok (infact just had some more babies - dalmation mollies). All readings in tank are fine. Any ideas? Would like to...

My Mollie seems to be swimming vertically - head up tail down. She is eating and seems ok now however I have just finished treating her for whitespot The whitespot has gone and I thought everything was ok now The only other things I have noticed is my male mollie seems to be circlling her with...

I am feeding my fish as normal mix of dried food and algae flakes - babies have specially prepared 3 step baby food (cute!) any recommendations?

Thanks - I feel like a proper fish keeper now! Have been looking a some google pics for guppy fry - definitely are guppy so will watch my 2 ladies closely. I am so thrilled we got 8 fry - is that a good number?

Well I was tending to my tank yesterday when suddenly i saw in the floating plants a tiny baby, then another and another until I found 8 little babies. We quickly moved them to a breeding net and ran to the LFS to get baby food. They are just the cutest things - BUT we have no idea which fish...

:( She died this morning I am afraid- but am still following advice as the other one is looking listless and so is one of my gouramis. Am going to LFS tomorrow to get their advice and relevant products. Thanks everyone

I have added a photo under Tropical Emergencies (cannot seem to find attachment for this forum area)

Its very hard as I am sure you can appreciate but I have got a picture of the affected angel. If you look closely you will see a white spot just by its lip .

After my 2 angels have been constantly hiding for 3 days, I have removed their hiding place so I could look at them. One of them appears to have white spots (almost fuzzy) near side of mouth - there is one large one and 2 little ones and protrude quite a bit. Can anyone help please? I do not...

I have just removed their hiding place so I can look at them at one has a couple of fluffy white spots near her mouth. What is this? I reckon its the problem. I have a 25 gallon tank with mainly livebearers, couple of gouramis, corys and couple of cardinal tetras. I have recently lost 1 guppy...

Wow, complicated! I have not got a hospital tank - I think they are eating but just not really coming out for it as such.

I have 2 Angel fish and to begin with they were great, swimming about and being normal. Then recently they have gone into a hiding place and they never come out, not even at feeding time. They just sit there all day and night. Any ideas? Is this normal behaviour?

thanks everyone for your time - he died - all other fish seems fine. But your advice has meant I know what to do should this happen again - need to go and get myself a hospital tank now. Thanks

I dont have another tank? Cannot add salt to one I have as I have tetras and corys Just looked again Has moved Now hiding under a bridge on the bottom Not shimmying any more but difficult to see

Earlier I noticed my male guppy (new) shimmying then I found him half way up tank, in the plants, head up, tail down, motionless. I think he is dying but what from? And what about my other fish - will they be harmed. I am in the Uk its gone midnight, I need to get to bed but cannot until I know...

My guppy that was shimmying is now about half way up the tank hidden in the plants, pretty motionless apart from gills and completely upright - head up, tail down. What is going on and what should I do? I think it will die but what about my other fish?

Q1. One of my new male guppy's seems to have what I have read as the shimmies. He is towards the bottom of the tank, not moving forwards or backwards but is moving side to side as if swimming. I cannot add salt as have corys and have no hospital tank. All levels are fine. Any views/advice...
