So, ill clean the tank today, Should i try him in a salt bath for the white bits and scratches? how much salt to water?

Will do the water tests, the water is tap safed, we do a 20% water change every two months, water temp is 26.5 degrees. no salt in the water. The tank is approx 18" deep and about 22" high (odd size tank, I know) Haven't seen any agreessive behaviour between the fish, the blood parrots tend to...

http://www.sneakymonkeys.com/stabby.jpg Theres a picture, the tank is a little scratched so ignore the white dots, look around his eye and on his back, The scratches on his side are also new this morning, could this be something else? the two scratches behind his side fins are old scars from...

Its got none of those things!, i already know what whitespot, cottonmouth etc looks like from other fish ive had. This, ive never seen before, it looks just like when you have glue on your hands and your peeling it off! it seems to be changing very quickly too, some of it has come off now since...

My foot-long black ghost knife looks like someone covered him in glue!, he's got funny patches of light peeley looking stuff all over him, this seems to have happened over night. just charging my camera to get a photo of him, will post again. Thanx foxx

ive got 4 parrot fish in a tank, theyre with a black ghost knife fish, a dwarf gourami, a sailfin mollie and a plec - now i know usually a gourami and a mollie wouldn't go in that tank, but ive just been lucky and they do and they get left well alone, the parrot fish however wont stop fighting...

if it isn't eggs or even baby related, what else could it be - it really does look fit to burst!

i have 2 neon tetras out of 8, that are incredibly fat, i dont think it is dropsy as they have been like that for ages and ive treated them all with various meds, what could it be?, they look to be at exploding point. as far as i'm aware neons have very rarely bred in captivity, has this...

Ive got a ghost knife, and he is bigger than any other that i have found on the internet, he's nearly a foot long - what will he eat?, i had some sharks in there and he's had a go at them, ive put them in the other tank, i presume he's hungry - ive been told they loke raw sausage, is that true...

awwww, jeese - another problem, i've got silver sharks theyre all fine except one whose stomach has swelled alot in the space of about 2 hours! have put some anti-secondary infection in the water, any other suggestions?? (also, when a male and female are kind of dancing in a circle together and...

well, they're in a large tank with lots of other species of fish, the three gourami's i have are extremely mellow (even for gourami's) i dont think she's getting harrassed. ive tried cucumber, but nothing seemed to want it, i'll try peas as i think all the veggie eaters are murdering all my plants!

she hasn't bloated at all, and seem kind of ok now, it happened when i introduced a male to the tank, wondered if it was something to do with that. also, heard that shelled peas are good for them, is that fresh or can you use frozen - also do they have to be cut or can they go in whole?

she seems to have straightened up now! hopefully she'll stay that way! thanks

My blue gourami was absolutely fine, then 20 minutes later couldn't swim straight - it has two long feelers underneith, one of them is shorter than the other. The feeler may have been bitten off - would that cause the loss of balance? i would really appreciate some help as this fish really has...
