Yes i've seen pics of anchorworm and I study the tank every night and haven't seen any in my tank at all (which hindered my diagnosis). Bought my meds today and going to do a water change now and administer them. I will let you know what happens.

Searched lernea images and found this, it is identical.Just searched for treatments and they seem quite straight forward, treat Parazin first, then after a while Myxazin to treat any wounds left behind after getting my tank cleaned up of course. Thanks for the help!

Thankyou, I WILL get to the bottom of this!!

Did consider this but they have only appeared on the extremities, lips or tips of fins which makes me doubt an internal parasite and you can watch them grow until they come away, tried to get some pictures for you but all fish are clear at the moment. I keep tetras (cardinal,congo,rummy,black...

No, not that I can tell, I presume they fall away from the fish as none have anything clinging/hanging from them.

Hello, I have looked through the emergencies and diseases page and cannot find a similar problem, I know that I have caused this problem as I have had a baby and neglected my water changes. I am taking that all in hand now to lower my nitrates and get things back on track. Now down to the...

Thankyou, I was a bit nervous about getting one I've had tropical fish for years but I swapped my endler babies for him and his tank was given too , so he cost me nothing , LOL , I wanted him to have room, I think its awful how some people keep them.

Meet Paddy, my first betta, He has a 15 litre tank with java moss and hiding places and has just eaten his tea of brineshrimp. Isn't he lovely!!! P.s the pics were done on my phone so sorry they arn't better.

Hi, I am not usually a reader of the coldwater section as I mainly have tropical fish. However whilst searching round some lfs I came across some magnificant coldwater plecs and just had to come on here and tell you all about them and ask if anyone had some proper info on them. Thanks.

My German Shepherd used to struggle with her weight as a young dog. She is fed on Wagg complete (chicken and rice flavour) But she likes a little warm water in hers as does her daughter. Garlic tablets can aid digestion and rather than tinned meat I prefer Naturediet. It is totally holistic so a...

I live in the nort west of England (Blackpool for any locals) and the warm spring weather has been causing trouble for me. I have to keep turning my heaters off to keep temps down. Even though they are running on the lowest setting they are still getting up to 28 and although my fish will manage...

I believe it does not hurt them as very young pups ,certainly not as much as putting an adult dog to sleep to amputate a tail later on in life when the dog will miss it and know what has happened . Any animal that is born undeveloped blind, deaf etc have undeveloped nevous systems too.

Are you having us on. Sorry worked with and bred poodles for 12 years it certainly is not a poodle but definatley a very distinctive dog !!

I am for tail docking, but am not distraught that it has now been stopped because I do believe that most reasons for docking are not now relevant. I breed mini Schnauzers and am struggling to come to terms with tails but hey nevermind give me time.I certainly will not flought the law and all my...

Hello, Heidi is doing really well, a good night sleep and shes as right as rain again! She is coping great with her 9 pups but then she would because she had 11 last time. I am soooo proud of her!!!! Will try and keep up with the photos but i think they will get more difficult to keep still as...

Hope these pics come though.This is my baby girl Heidi and her babies 2 girls and 7boys!

Workin on the pics but shes had two more! Should have kept my mouth shut about thinking she was finished.lol

have taken pics of each one as they were born but i am not the most digitally competant!! will try though.

Just had to come and tell everyone that I had no sleep last night and my amazing German Shepherd Heidi has given birth to 7 beautiful puppies!!! I am soo glad she has finished now because I can go to BED! lol.

Hi I always thought there would be no way I could have plecos, always believing that all species were large so I just didnt dare to look at them. However couldnt hold myself back and came across to my abolute delight L 15 max 10cm(candy stripe)L066 max 12cm (king tiger)and L260 max 9cm (queen...

Hi, thanks thats pretty much what I thought, but just wanted to make sure. I mainly have livebearers (mollies,swordtails,platies and endlers)and was hoping I could maybe put my platies or endlers with them. Do you think they would be suitable?

Hello, just curiosity really, I have just read that killifish are best in a species tank really and like their water at about 68f. Is there anybody out there that keeps these georgeous little fish and know what fish are combatable (if any) with them. Cheers!

It never ceases to amaze me how many fish keepers have cats! By the way I now know what my cats are getting for their birthdays!

My female endlers (which are similar to guppies) showed gravid spots at about 5 to 6weeks then the males started to show colour at 6 to 8 weeks.

Your guppies look lovely, and your pics are way better than i have managed recently. it is probable they are pregnant or storing sperm unless they was separated at 2 months old. However they do not look like they are in the late stages of pregnancy as their bellies will become huge. They usually...

No I cant see them either .

I concur with three fingers most def a killifish I have looked at these myself but dont yet have any more room. I believe they do not live too long but can be easy to care for in a weel maintained tank. Let us know how you get on. I wish my parnter was as enthusiastic about my fish.

I have two pepper and two bronze corydoras and I do believe they enjoy the company of others. They dont live in each others pockets but I have seen mine feeding together (taking advantage of someone else doing all the digging) and if you catch them in the morning before the lights come on and...

Hello I am new too!!I guess the 125 is a 125 litre tank , the most important thing is getting your quantity of fish right I overstocked straight away and then they all had babies!!Also make sure you cycle your tank and dont stock it staight away. Patience is key my friend! however you are in the...

Hey, I guess you wished you hadnt asked!! People are very passionate about their pets, we can all see that. I have worked in a breeding kennels for 11 years and have bred three litters of Shepherds myself totalling 28 pups. Try not to get upset or confused, no matter what you do with or about...

Hello, I am just introducing myself to your forum I have been an avid reader of all your questions and answers and have learnt so much from all your info. so thankyou. I have livebearers which have all bred and corydoras but am still very much a beginner!
