dthoffsett, I read the first of your topics and it's almost identical to our situation. Last night we changed the water and added some bacteria meds, but I think it's far too late. As of 8:00am this morning we have only 5 fish left, and they don't look particularly great. Guess quarantine is...

OK, so Willow is out, thanks. Does anybody know of anything similar that would work, as in something tall and thin? Thank you :good:

Haven't checked the pH actually. The filter outlet is pointed upwards and does break the surface. We feed spirulina pellets, veggie flake with the occasional treats of algae pellets, cucumber & shelled peas. The only thing I noticed was a few darker patched on one of the yellow labs. But the...

EDIT: My husband has posted this in the African Cichlid section as well if that's OK, thanks Hi guys, I've had a disaster in my Malawi tank and I have no idea why. Yesterday evening I fed the fish as normal around 6:00pm and watched them for a while, everything was fine. Then when I next looked...

Hi, I quite often see dead willow branches for sale, to be used in flower arranging I think. I thought they'd look great in a tank with plants but I'm not sure if they're safe to use. Does anybody know, or has anybody tried it? I had a look at the packaging, it just says untreated willow...

Come on, they're so cute! How can you resist?!

Hi everyone, We are moving house at the end of March, and as we are downsizing we need to rehome some pets. We have two female mice for sale, together with their home which is a fish tank with accessories such as food bowl, water bottle, wooden house thing, wheel and some other wooden items...

I really sympathise with you, I don't live in Suffolk anymore, but my parents still do and my dad keeps and breeds birds of prey so it is a worry for him too. I ALWAYS buy free range poultry and eggs having seen the state of a chicken farm my dad used to work on. Plus, we didn;t have turkey for...

Does anyone know if mice travel well? My boyfriend and I are having to take our three mice home with us for xmas because we haven't got anyone to feed them while we're gone and we're going for a week or so. I was just wondering if they travel ok - it's about three and a half hours car journey if...

I have to say that while watching said film in the cinema I kept turning to my boyfriend and going "That's a corn snake! They've used a load of corn snakes!"

Hi, I'm a bit of an arty person, having just completed a Fine Art degree :) I like painting wildlife mostly and thought I would share a couple of pieces, both done as presents for my dad.

wow, you win! (although are you *sure* that the coati mundi is N. American? i could have sworn they were a South or Central American critter) I apologise, I got the location wrong there - "There are four species of coati, all living in the New World. They are found in the southwestern...

You may find, like we did, that bettas can be very fussy about what they eat, and will not touch food such as flake when it is put in for other fish. Our first betta Floyd wouldn't eat anything but fresh bloodworm, so we had no problems, he just ignored all other food until his was put in. Your...

Just a thought from a falconer... I don't think Kestrels hunt birds, their prey is small mammals on the ground, that's why they use that hovering technique. I think your mum may have rescued a Sparrowhawk. Although if she ID'd it from a picture or something or she knows her stuff, then I could...

Pets I grew up with: Birds of Prey of many types, hawks, falcons, owls, kookaburras, etc, too many to list. I flew my own Barn Owl from the age of 5, a Kestrel from the age of about 11, and a Buzzard from the age of 16 until I went to uni. People were always bringing various dying animals and...

Hi, I have had my adult male corn Ziggy for 8 years, had experience of other snakes before as my dad kept them, and I think I can safely say they are one of the easiest species to keep. Obviously, as with any pet, different people have different experiences so don't take that as gospel! With...

My boyfriend and I currently have 5 tanks in our house - one large, one large bow front, two medium and a betta tank. We won't be getting anymore for a while as we have no more space left! By having a large number of tanks we are able to keep all the fish we like - so we can keep our favourite...

Well they came out quite a few times yesterday evening at feeding time, and the lights were still on, so hopefully they are getting a bit more adventurous now. They still prefer to keep to the edges of the plants and rocks, don't really like the open space at the front, but it's encouraging. I...

Two of the lfs that we go to will take fish we don't want from us and then usually give us money off the next purchase. We recently got rid of a pair of platys and they gave us 8 tiger barbs for the price of 6.

Hi everyone, My boyfriend bought an Angel last night from our lfs, one that he has had his eye on for ages. Just thought I would share a pic because his markings are beautiful. Only know the basics about them, had not seen one with markings like this before. Love him :)

Yeah, I have read that they are nocturnal, but also I have read that they will often come out during the day. I haven't seen hide nor hair of either of them today though. Anyway, I will try what you suggest, thanks :)

Hi everyone, My boyfriend recently aquired two gorgeous Featherfin Catfish. They are great, although we don't see them much as they hide away most of the time at the moment. I am a little worried that they might not be getting enough to eat, as everytime we put food in for them, the other fish...

Thanks Wilder, I went with my guess and bought some Velvet meds, Interpet No. 7, at the lfs earlier today. It might help, although we haven't had any success at treating ill fish yet, they always die :(

Hi everyone, this morning I noticed one of our honey gouramis swimming near the filter looking as if he was playing in the outlet. This seemed fine, and I thought no more of it. This afternoon, he is making the same rapid swimming movement, but not anywhere near the filter. It's a rapid back...

Yes it's the wet/dry filter 2227 Pro. Someone else directed me to the manuals but thanks both for the replies. After reading through the manual I'm still not sure what to do with the third pipe, the small one. Also, there was no filter medium supplied, is it true that you can only use the...

Excellent, thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, can I be really cheeky and direct to you another post I made. It's a question about filters I posted in the Hardware section, but that forum seems really inactive. I've heard a lot of people talk about Eheims, so I had hoped someone would have the same one as us and could help...

Me and my boyfriend (fellow forum member Edge) have just bought a second hand tank and cabinet from eBay, and when Edge collected it the seller told him it also included a filter. When we checked inside the cabinet we found a large external filter; an Eheim Professional. The label is a bit...

Well this be a rather silly one of me :)

And I have just found this in a post by nmonks: "Most primary freshwater fish are intolerant of salt , while many secondary freshwater fish and virtually all peripheral freshwater fish tolerate salt well. Primary freshwater fish families (evolved in fresh water): * All barbs, minnows...

All of our Cardinal tetras and our remaining Emperor tetra have white spot, which was noticed this evening. I have been reading up on what to do to treat it, and it is recommended by most on this forum to raise the water temp and add aquarium salt, or raise the temp and add white spot med as...

Hello, wondering if anyone can help... We have a Red Honey Gourami that seems to have a problem with its mouth. Compared to the other Gourami's we have, it doesn't seem to be able to open its mouth as wide when eating food or going up for air. The skin around the mouth is fine, but its lips...

Didn't boil it, ran it under the tap in for about an hour to get rid of the grit and stuff, shop said it was safe as it was. We got it from a big pet store near us in the aquatics section. Do you think the pH will just keep on rising?
