Fantastic, thanks, I am going to look into this!

Hello, I have used Sterazin (by waterlife) which was recommended over the interpet stuff by lfs. £9 too! I have only had my tank up and running with fish for a few months so I would rather not use any more dye medication if I can help it. Is it safe to treat for four weeks in a row? I...

Hello I have treated for gill flukes 3 times now, to no avail, i have checked with my lfs and they still think its flukes and I think it may be responsible for other disease I have recently had to battle with. I would like to get rid of these gits quickly as I am fed up of them irritating my...

Hi guys My friend bought me a betta from lfs the other day while I was at work (unfortunately she didn't know I had a medicine tank), absolutely beautiful, lovely long flowing fins! She kindly introduced him to my tank. When I got home and fed, he wasn't interested in food, in fact he kept...

He is very pretty! :wub: I don't know how long they will last, but I know that I have had fish before that didn't eat for about a week after being introduced, I had to try frozen brine shrimp and garlic (which did work I am pleased to say).

I agree, I bought it as something my queen alabsque could hide in (nice signature by the way) now I never see him/her! I am getting rid of the juwel, and will be building some kind of caves with rocks or slate rather than ornaments in my fluval (well that is the plan any way!)

Thanks both. I think its just a common pleco though. Tan

Just some fishy pics..... And some more....

fantastic advice, thanks, I have just been to the shop, they are waiting for a delivery, so I was only able to get 5 glow lights, but I got another 5 neons - they always look better in a shawl, I didn't pick up 10 as I may get 5 bleeding heart tetras too. They are all really pretty, I have...

Thanks for this, they were given to me when they outgrew my friends 90 litre - poor things were so cramped. They will be going back to lfs when they get too big for mine. My common plec is only a couple of inches long at the moment, but the lfs is always happy to take them back when they grow...

Hello I would like to add some colourful fish to my tank, but am not sure about compatability. I currently have the following which is slowly being transferred into my Fluval 190 now its finally finished cycling: Queen Arabesque Pleco Common Pleco 4 Sail fins 4 Neons 2 Polkdot loaches 2...

The only sign I ever had of gill flukes was the flicking, they killed my black ghost and when he was towards the end of his life, he gasped for air at the top of the tank, I went to my lfs and they told me it was gill flukes. My krib is now flicking and his gills do seem red - although I have...

I used sterazin and completed the course then waited a week and a half (if not a big longer - and I now know I should have waited longer) before adding new fish. Thank you, I will carry on with the protozin for the 6 day course, do another water change a couple of day later and then use a...

Thank you, I do have a quarantine tank, but it is very small, it wouldn't have been able to cater for the loaches and hasn't yet been cycled (I only bought it a week ago), my partner wont let me have a larger one, I had to beg for months for him to let me have a tank at all and the quarintine...

Hello I have had my tank up and running for around a week, nitrate 5, nitrite 0, ammonia 0. I am chucking in food as I don't really want to use ammonia in case I spill it (I am kind of a clutz!). When can I add fish?

Hello If your friends pet had been poisoned, even if it is not by her, then they are not in a safe environment! I think you should go to your vet and ask your vet to write some kind of letter or a health certificate to the rspca to show that your cat is in good health. I would keep copies...

Hi, no they are not fluffy looking, I have managed to have a proper look at one that only has slight marks and it looks like it is very slightly raised. Only one of the gouramies are still alive, it is killing them so fast! They don't gasp for air, they just go lathargic and die. I really...

It depends on if I can get the net in the bag, I prefer not too, just in case.

Hello, here is my story I bought 2 polka dot loaches and a female fighter on Saturday. The fighter didn't seem right when put her in, she was very unsociable and not particularly agile. She died Monday morning, when I came home from work I noticed that my chocolate gourami had large white...

I must admit i can't do it either, even when I know I should. It is very selfish that I don't want to put them out of my suffering because I feel guilty. I admire someone that can do it, and then deal with their emotions later, you put your fish first, and that is a good thing.

Sorry, the ulcers on the gourami do have red edges, I thought you were asking about the spots on the loach, thank you for the link, I will have a look now.
