Haha thanks tolak that made me laugh as to how much i worry

So getting water in my mouth means im not at risk because i didnt have long exposure? What are the symptoms if i am?

Whilst cleaning my tank i accidentaly got some water in my mouth! Could i have gotten fish tb from this or anything else for that matter? Also what are the symptoms if i swallowed it rather than got it through a cut? Finally what is a better way to start the siphon and has anyone else drank water?

Also the two red wags have like black markings on the top from around the top of their mouth to the top fin? Does this mean theyre a cross breed? Ill try to get pics up asap but I cant even get close to the tank without them running off to hide!!

Yesterday I got 3 platys 1 male blue (I think, it was labelled blue at lfs but doesnt look like blue platys that ive looked up on internet, Id take a pic but hes already scared) And 2 female Red Wagtail But anyway, the entire of yesterday I didnt see them at all as they were hiding and they...

If you reccommend killing him - what do you think i the most humane way??

should I just leave him be for now then?? Or is that risking all the rest of my fish?? What type of gloves should I use as I dont want to use some that are harmful to fish!!

here are some pictures of him also what are the chances of me catching fish tb considering i havnt had a vaccination and is fish tb fatal to humans?? edit:oh and ive never seen him poo and there doesnt seem to be any colouring around his anus area although I dont know exactly where to find a...

thanks for the quick reply! My fish isn't bent (souds strange but its true) And it has no other signs except he's skinny!! One sec i've taken some pics

Sonn after I got my zebra danio about 1-2 months ago he was very skinny- I presumed this was down to underfeeding as my other danios chased it away from food! However he is eating well and hasn't showed a lack of appetite but still remains extremely skinny. I have only just found that this may...

So say if I started out with only 1" per gallon of <2" unmessy fish and after a long time of everything running smoothly, with regular water changes. Would I then be able to add more fish into my tank as I gain more experience?

Well the fish I'm getting upto 18" are Zebra Danios and Harlequin Rasboras and if I was able to exceed this limit then I would probablly go for more of the same, tetras or corydoras (which I've been researching but cannot find in my LFSs)

If I am only stocking my tank with fish that do not exceed 2 inches and I am doing weekly 25% waterchanges, does the 1 inch per gallon rule still apply? I was told by somebody on this site that with small fish you could have upto 2 inch per gallon - is this ok or not?

I was wondering which corydoras if any would be ok in my 15G UK/19G US (dont know which one Im meant to use) tank. Eventually in my tank I plan on having 5 zebra danios, 5 harlequin rasbora and a few cherry shrimps. Would getting a few corydoras be pushing the max fish limit? And would any...

CFC thaks or that response. That was another aspect that I forgot. I don't have as much time as many people as I'm still at school doing mocks and soon revising for my GCSE's so I thought just letting a couple of danios do the hard work for me would help. And Jonesy if you'd read my first post...

Well the only reason that I didn't do a fishless cycle was the fact I wasn't completely certain what I was meant to be doing. I'd researched it as much as I could but still didn't know enough. I'd looked into using a shrimp or feeding the tank without fish but for both techniques many say its...

Thanks for the advice I understand about the cycling of the tank, the toxins and when to add more fish but I am unsure as to whether my tank has cycled or not. I was planning on doing daily water changes once my ammonia and nitrate levels got high but after 2 weeks of nothing happening, my...

I was just wondering (as my hobbies are photography and now fishkeeping) if the flash from my camera would upset or cause any stress to my fish as obviously I wouldn't want this to happen especially as they are currently recovering from the stress of cycling the tank that I've put them under. :(

I am new to the hobby of fish keeping and have had my tank working for 4 weeks. I've done a large amount of research on the internet and from books and decided not to do a fishless cycle but instead I added two zebra danios after a week and a week later I added another to try and prevent/lessen...
