hey all, I'm looking for some unusual ornaments for my tank. I wanted something sci-fi related but can find nothing on the net. Only thing I've found is a sunken battered tardis on Amazon (which I'll be getting!). Does anyone know of anywhere where you can get sci-fi related tank ornaments? Thanks

So in short, don't be too worried? Strangely it looks a bit like a rummy nose at the minute. Oh and that's a disturbing Sig you have their...big brother!

Hi All, I've noticed over the last few days that one of my glo-lights has gone from its usual translucent colour to a more white and the orange "stripe" on it has become more pale. It's not white spot or anything like and the fish seems generally healthy, and none of the others (glo lights or...

What filters do people recommend? I am going to be re-scaping my tank come next pay day and I constantly have problems getting my filter to come back on once I've turned it off. This is the second of this make to do so. Thanks

Cheers for the help. Currently getting treated now. Think its too late for the guppy its in a bad way but hopefully not too late for my flying fox. After this disasterous fun of deaths I've had he is my oldest fish. I'd be extra gutted if he died.

This little snippet of info coincides with my current run of deaths. Are my water changes having a negative effect rather than the desired positive ones?

Which is the best way? I have a gravel tank and the vacuum works perfectly well. In my sand tank I find is much more difficult to get the poo and other undesirable bits up. Tips would be nice Thanks!

120L Stats are normal Clown Loach died in the other tank yesterday:( Had him over a year too:( Currently: 1 flying fox (white like fluff on his face today but other than that is his normal self) 1 Red Tail Shark 1 Female Guppy (white fluff on fins looking really ill) 2 Zebras 3 Mollies 3 Plecs...

Hi, I have a white cotton like fungus on a few of my fish. More so on my 2 clown loaches.The fish look very shaky, for lack of a better word. I did think it was white spot which I then treated them for but upon closer inspection it looks like cotton strands. I have moved one loach into a...

Seen ammonia burns before definately not that, plus these were not healing, far from it. Whatever it was decemated the poor little guys back fin in a day

It's nothing like that. All the other fish I have in there are fine, other guppies too. It simply withered away in the space of a day but no other fish are/have been effected.

Hi Guys, JUst need help identifying whats killed my one of my fish. Basically I had a male guppy, only had him a week and he was fine. But this morning suddenly his tail had blackened then as the day progressed it spread until he had no tail left and then died. Having no joy searching for what...

I have one of these in my tank. IN my tank I also have platys, guppys, a rogue fish (somehow came with some guppys i bought) plecs, clown loaches and a flying fox. It seems to get on well with all these. The flying fox and the shark get on surprisingly well. At first I thought they fought but...

5 inches in depth is not a lot and seems almost cruel

I am done with them. Last plant I bought carried some sort of parasite and I lost half my fish in a matter of 2 weeks. My very first fish included in that. I have tried plants from several different LFS and never seemed to be problem free. Since i binned them all and bought a load of fake...

Thanks very much just got almost identical advice off someone else too.

anyone?

One of my male guppys was looking a bit down yesterday (i've had a few deaths with a wasting disease on my rummy nose tetras, I have been using metheleyn(sp?) blue for 2 weeks now as I believe it maybe some sort of parasite. I felt prevention would be better than a cure) so I put him in a net so...

That would be the girlfriend and over decorating at christmas!!! lol Sorry Big C didn't see the other thread for it, apologies. All the tanks look great to be honest. I always worry that there are not enough rocks, cave etc in mine and too many plants

No i love looking at any fish tanks to be honest. The bluelight is very nice, I only use it sparingly. One night a week or so through the night. This fish seem to love it when its on and play with the bubbles more. A good find on ebay :D

Just wondered if people would like to see a few pictures of my tank, I know I'd like to see a few more for more ideas on what to do with mine in the future etc. Here are a few of mine:

yeah id agree with that they looked too ill to come back from to be honest.

Well all the fish in question have been placed in a seperate net for now. Ill be off to the fish shop tomorrow for some meds, mainly as a precautionary measure for the others

From the platy no. But I can't say I saw the rummys poo too much. But i don't recall anything out of the ordinary.

I've read up and fish TB is not quite right, some similar some not. I am unable to tell if the anus is swelled on the platy yet, plus its bright orange as well!! However, the rummy noses all had red anus's look almost like another eye to be honest. If it is indeed some sort of parasite how do i...

Hi, I wrote on here a few weeks back regarding my Rummy Nose Tetras appearing to literally waste away. Now one of my bigger platys appears to be a bit slimmer than usual. Obviously this could be anything, however her top fin is down and she looks miserable and her usual companion is off...

I have 120 litre tank and a 28 litre tank. My school of rummy noses have all unfortunately died of some sort of wasting disease, it seems to be contained to just them. Now i don't want to risk buying more so i am thinking of moving my mollies into the big tank as they are getting bigger and...

jesus! She's big

Using sand or pebbles? If you havent cleaned the sand properly it could still cause the water to go cloudy. From personal experience :lol:

Had my Rummy noses about 4-5 months now, and last week one died but the few days up to that is was breathing heavily and was almost skeleton thin. Now another seems to be going the same way. The only difference is that this one is moving around more. No new fish introduced for months normal...

One of my females is looking rather massive and has the black marks by her bum showing very strongly. Been like this for about a week, she is still eating and i have her in a breeders net. Still no sign of popping yet though. Any idea how long I should leave her in the net?

Just a silly question really, but do species, eg platys and guppys, cross breed?

new guys where in a net for a few days before letting them loose. The shark seems no different in behaviour than previous days from what i have noticed. Resting is the same place, and playing in the same place. But it could be anything

120lt - 6 guppies (1 battered), 3 platys (were 4 obviously), 2 clown loach, 1 red finned shark, 1 flying fox, 4 rummy nose tetras (one is MIA) and 4 baby plecs (new addition one will be moving to the other tank when bigger and ill be looking at re-homing another 2, but they are only 1/2 inch at...

All the levels in my tank test as fine, as of last night all my fish appeared fine, as you do you loose concentration and sit there watching them. However, this morning i woke up to one of my male guppies looking rather battered, one of my big sunset platys was dead and 2 of my rummy nosed...

complain all you want. At the end of the day its a business and they are there to make money. If people are too lazy and selfish to be arsed to do basic research then they are the people you should be complaining about in the main. Enjoy your high horses

any smaller fish recommended to help with snails?

I meant to say that combined with over eating. What else do you recommend to avoid such issues?

One of my neons died about 10 minutes ago. It's tummy was bloated and it was breathing quite heavily. I have done some reading and suspect that I may have over fed them. The other neons and glo lights are fine. Just this poor little fella. Been bloated the last few days but then today was...
