Hello all! I am in two minds what to do.... I have a small 25l (UK) tank that has given me problems...... it has been running for over a year now. I bought 5 Norman's Lampeyes and all except one survived - there seemed to be a bullying issue! Water quality has always been tolerable but I hate...

Wilder - she has made a (what seems to be) full recovery! Colour has come back - no white stuff over the body and eating a treat! Other tank mates are good too! I'm going to wait a week to make sure nothing happens and then pop them in my Dad's larger tank. Thank you for your advice once again!

:good: Thank You!

Thanks once again for your help Wilder - I will keep you informed. I will probably close this small tank down and start afresh. My other tank is the 45litre version of the cube tank (like in PFK) and I'm using a Rena XP1 external filter that sits under my kitchen worktop. I'm stuck with not...

I understand what you are saying about them. My Dad has got a lightly stock 60litre.... Do you think it would be safe to move the Danios down there tomorrow? I feel really bad about them..... At least this forum has got experienced and helpful people. The water change is almost done here.

Just noticed one thing with the Tetra - for every gill movement (take in of water), every fin is moved/twitched with it.....

Before I knew about stocking etc - I listened to the shop and they didn't mention about the tank being small for the fish I have. You did mention before about it being overstocked. It is a 15litre! With 4 Danios, now 1 Glowlight, 2 Otos and a Algae shrimp. I do 10% water changes every 3-4...

I'm in Gloucestershire...... Would you have any explanation why two apparently healthy Glowlights would die on the same night? Then this one just started to get this happening?...... Would it spread to my Danios and 2 Otos? I cannot see anything abnormal with the gills.... I have owned all...

I've noticed her fin has been getting worse to Wilder.......

Pic a comin!

Thanks Wilder! It is like icing sugar!! Wierd way of describing it I know!

Thanks for replying Wilder. The stats are as follows: Temp - 24 celcius Ammonia - 0.0-0.1 colour between both Nitrite - 0.1 Nitrate - 0.0-12.5 colour between both Two of my Danios were rubbing up against plants and rock but I cannot see any sign on parasites.... The last (the largest)...

Hi all. I did my 10% water change last night as I have done many many times to the wake up this morning to find one glowlight dead and another one laying stiff as a board but will still gill movement. My female glowlight (last one now!) is still fine but swimming around to try and find her...

I'd personally say two Otos should be fine as long as you are keeping up on your water changes.

I can't really comment on your requirements but I just want to say DO IT!!! I replaced my fake plants a few days back and what a difference!!! The tank looks much brighter and more like it should!

Yep! I do! Say if I'm doing a small water change - 6.5 litres treated tap water (enough to do 7 litres) and 0.5 litres boiled water to bring the temperature up a little.

I voted no as I'm sure many of us do not have a massive house and may have the aquarium in a bedroom (I have mine in the front room of my flat). I would have bought the largest tank I could of but then I'd not have room for anything else. As a newbie (parents kept fish over 15 years ago) I...

Woke up this morning to expect to see it floating and it is back to normal - Phew! Weird! If it was consitipation, would they develop this type of problem? Thank you for your comments once again.

Thanks Wilder! I'll do the pea thing shortly...... I understand now about the flake food but what kind of veg would you recommend? I'll buy some daphnia tomorrow. I'll see what I can do with tank too! Keep you updated and thanks once again! PS - What do you think the chances are of this...

Thanks for reply: 30 litres 4 Zebra Danio 4 Glowlight Tetras Fish fed on King British Tropical flakes Tank temp = 25C PH - approx 8-8.5 I checked the other readings last week as both nitrate and nitrite was getting too high so have been doing 10% water changes every two days. They have been...

Hi all! I've just noticed that one of my Danios is swimming around with apparant buoyancy problems. He/she is easily floating to the surface when stopping and has to swim with its head down and therefore its tail is up to get about. It is also chasing the others away too! This is the first...

Hello! I'm Ian. I've been waiting for the water levels to get right in my tropical tank and last Friday I got four Zebra Danios - I've only started out with a 25 litre. They're doing really well and I can't wait to get a further two/four small fish in the next month. Below is a photo of one...
