another one has passed away, the cory which we saw was ill has now passed on despite being full of energy. I am going to do a ph and high ph test in a second but there is still signs of blood streaks through their faeces before i put prima in. Their poo is thick and brown/grey but you can see...

I found my pearl gourami today dead, by the time it was removed its head had disappeared. usually im quite good at catching them when they do die and removing them asap but i was at work. the rest of the fish seemed fine but when i came down i saw that at least 3-4 of the fish have red streaks...

sorry, never realised i typed the tank in wrong - its a delta 300 now They have plenty of space and plenty of places to hide and thy ahve never been that rough with each other - the worse they have ever done is chase each other however the smallest one which is the one which liplocked the other...

i have two red severum which have been together for a good year or two and they usually chase each other but never been bad together. But today - right now - i have been watching for the past 10 mins as the two severum have latched onto each others lips and they are not letting go - they are...

Yip did that, :) goes down a treat with the loaches severum and melon barb but the goramis are having none of it lol

He® scales are not sticking out, the only thing i have noticed is that when i put my finger to the glass, they used to follow it up and down but now they dont even bother, just just swim away which is unusual cause they have always done it. I also have not seen them eat - i put in some peas...

I posted this in the Gourami subforum hoping it was just mearly gravid but found out that the fish is most possibly sick. So heres the post that i put up i have 1 thicklipped Gourami and while in the current problems in my tank, i looked down and saw that their stomach has swollen into a ball...

Thanks xx

Got some pics - it seems very swollen more on the left than the right. It wasnt there yesterday either..i am panicking now since there seems to be an endless stream of problems arising over the past few days and nothing has been changed!!!

Thanks so much for all your help wilder, I have cleaned out the tank some more and added all the lotions, hopefully it should clear and thy all stay healthy lol. xx

i have 1 thicklipped Gourami and while in the current problems in my tank, i looked down and saw that their stomach has swollen into a ball only one side is a bit bigger than the other. i do now know how to sex them but there are no breeding partners unless its possible for honey or pearl...

Sadly the clown is no more :( He seemed to be on the mend last night - not fainting as much and swimming fine but i woke up today and found him dead on the ground, he has got thinner and his face has gone white. Sadly its the end of him :( the other two look very well fed and no signs of...

hmmm, he is still alive and kicking but still doing the same. but there has been a fatality with another fish but will tell you in a tick His gill (or the outside of gills) condition i would describe as flat - not swollen, very very raw looking and very red, its not pale. looks like someone has...

This is a better video of how he is acting - he is flipping all over the place and then drops dead from what i can see and then he bucks up again - swims normally and then flips out again Excuse the NYPD blues video mode lol - the clown loach is behind the bridge at the beginning of the video -...

I bought 30+ trumpet snails which i have kept in a small aquarium and i read that heat made them reproduce quickly..... i kept the filter and the heating on in the tank and i noticed after 2 days there was a lot of black dots across the top of the water....i later discovered these were little...

Got some piccys - not the best its off a camera phone but you can see how red his cheeks are which were never that read. He has managed to swim to the other side of the tank but he keeps collapsing, breaths rapidly and then goes back to normal - however he is not moving from that spot now. I...

I have had an earlier experience of watching fish die when my large fish collection (oscars/12" plecos/Black Sharks etc) all died sadly from a Nitrite spike accidently produced by me and my lack of knowledge that you should really stagger clean your filter and not replace every filter pad with a...

Bump?

the place i swear by is Aquatic Life - Victoria Road - Dougie and Bri are the most amazing guys in the world. Great advice and a great variety of fish http://www.aquaticlifeglasgow.co.uk/ I dont buy fish from any other place - i have been severely disappointed by The aquarium in Christholm St...

I had to net him to get a better closeup but you can see how red it is despite it being a bad pic

Sorry, lost my thread lol Here are some pics i could get - excuse the quality, i only have a mobicam There are some more found in my bebo thing http://www.bebo.com/PhotoAlbum.jsp?PhotoAlbumId=8289810472 As you can see at the base, the redness is pretty noticable but i have just noticed a red...

Over the past say 6-8 months, i spotted a red streak across the bass of my smokey angels back where his fin is. i never really thought much of it, he is healthy, swims fine, isnt being bullied by any other fish etc and eats well but i just happened to type in fish disease diagnosis just to see...

I am beginning to look at different shops, what they sell, product wise etc, just for a basic idea. Because i know someone who runs a very successful aquarium business in far glasgow who im sure after some nudging would be able to give me some advise lol but at the moment is mostly research and...

Amazingally, there are no half decent shops in Glasgow area except one who i am friends with, i decided to invest in a new aquarium today to see if i could start maybe collating different types of fish and building up the collection. Of course not to start the ball rolling business wise now but...

It has always interested me and now that im studying up on all the fish i have and now onto my third aquarium and not making the stupid stupid mistakes i made when i first began a few years back, but (dont worry im not meaning anytime soon, i mean in quite a few years) now i want to know how...

I have never really purchased any live stock from P@H before, i have seen tanks in fish shops shut for treatment so i thought it would be ok because they are not selling the treated fish. After i purchased the gourami, i was waiting for my mum and i spotted a dead Discus and a couple of dead...

Every single time i go to pets at home and i also have heard this from others from different locations that they often have many tanks closed to "treat" and at one stage they shut off all livestock selling. But today, because it was close i decided to pop in and spotted some Honey Gourami which...

eeek, i have 6 cories too :S gettign a smaller tank now - got him in a large beta display holder floating in the aquarium for now until i can get him somewhere else

i had to pop out to the shops after making this thread and when i came back - hes after my other angel now - si that normal for them to suddenly turn? they got on for the past year that i have bad both of of them :S

i have a large angel, almost the size of my hand, he has always been the domanant fish in the tank chasing the others around the tank but all of a sudden a couple of months ago my Beta is chasing him round the tank to the point my angel is cowarding in the corner behind the plants. I have never...

Can someone let me know any signs that a clown loach might be pregnant. I have three C.L's, two stick very close togehter and they have sharp points on their tails which i ahve always believed ment they were male, the other one hides so much its hard to work out what he is. But the two which...

I have a jeweled Delta so there is a secure lid ontop - thank god - my oscar used to try and jump out everytime i opened it up. I have no idea why all of a sudden over the past month they have began to get to hyper when i go near the tank or near the food. there have been no changes except a...

i check the water levels every 2 weeks as well as doing a 25% waterchange after it and i add all the stress fix etc when changing it. Its always been a clean tank and none of the other fish have ever bothered him, he's probebly had popeye maybe 4-5 times now over the past 6 months, but i have...

I have quite a mixed aquarium and in the past i have not seen this happen before but over the past month, my fish have became quite agressive when it comes to food. I dont under or over feed them - i put in one pinch for 2-3 fish so they have plenty to eat but over the past month they are...

My betta has pop eye.......again! he has had it in the past which was never that bad - just slightly abnormal as well as a clouded coating around his eye but i put in aquarium salts and it cleared it up straight away each time. the eye socket around his eye has never been white due to...

Thanks for the info - i have never encountered popeye before, i thougth it had cotton eye at first but it's definately sticking out. I think i have managed to catch it in the early stages, as i said, he never had it the afternoon and by night he did! I have added a couple of spoons of Aquasalts...

I have just planted new live plants in my aquarium today - all the fish were healthy but i came back today and my betta has a serious case of some kind of popeye today - one eye has a massive bubble over it and sticking out v.far. It looks like a massive puss bubble over his eye, it is...

I have a Juwel Delta and i currently have a Fluval 204 which is stuck at the back of the aquarium and i am unable to put the aquarium against the wall and makes it look terrible. Someone has said that i can get a neat filter which means its not hidden behind the aquarium and causing a large gap...

This week, one of my paired smokey angels was found dead :( still very young and looked like he had just died when i found him (although the fish began going for his fins), i saw no blood in the fins and his eyes were pinpoint with no clouding and no signs of damage. I decided to test the...

thanks xxx
