Yeah I test my water every two weeks myself, always fine, I didn't realise that the feeders were bad otherwise I wouldn't of used them, Well I wont any more at least! Yeah I did a water change this morning as he had died sometime in the night so would of been rotting for a few hours hopefully...

Just an Update....   Unfortunately the Cory died last night! :( He was separated from the rest of the tank but when I found him this morning he had a small hole in his side, Does anyone know what could of caused this?   Dan

Hi,   No worries about reply, I had a 7 day feeder block in there, did a water change day I went and then another day I got back was only gone for 5 days. The cory in question does have a bloated stomach compared to the other cory but is the smallest out of them all.    Dan

Hi All   I've just got back from a 5 day holiday and noticed that my Corey was lying on his side still as a statue, I thought he was dead so went to scoop him out and he swam off like nothing had happened, that was two days ago since then he keeps lying on his side not moving until you move...

Hi All,   I've had a female zebra danio with a curved spine for about a year and half, The danio is fine apart from it's slightly hunch backed and quite fat looking, It eats fine, swims fine acts like nothing is wrong, I've heard this can happen from the amount of inbreeding in the species. My...

Hi All,   Just a quick one I have a good size plec and keep reading online they love cucumber and other veggies, What ever I put into the tank for him he dosent touch dosent even go near it. Is there na special way or time to feed them etc?   Thanks    Dan 

Hi All.   Question about water changes I do a 25% water change each week, Is that a normal amount?, My main question though is I replace the water out of the hose, I treat it with dechlorinater but put it in cold is this harmful to the fish? as someone told me recently it could be?   Thanks    Dan

Hi All,   Just wanted to ask about PH, recently Ive always had a really high PH level in my tank, So I decided to buy some drift wood now though the PH has dropped to 6.5 it was 7.8 when it was really high what is the norm for PH? and is low PH a good or bad thing for fish?   Thanks    Dan

Thanks DRB very helpful, does this increase or decrease the more the plec eats and how much algie is in the tank?

Hi All, I have had a common plec since march this year I cant remember exactly how big he was when I got him, I just remember fairly small, I know they grow big but my question is how fast do they grow as mine is now 6 Inches if I had to geuss I would say he was no longer than 10 cm when I...

Hi all, I have a yo yo/packistani loach and a golden sucking loach which weirdly have started spawning together, they follow each other around all day lie next to each other and swim erraticly around each other. I just wanted to know if its possible for them to actually cross breed? Cheers Dan

The tank has been set up for 2 years, I thought they were full of eggs more because all the ones that died were activley spawning all the time. what I found about a day or two before they died their stomachs got really big, Both danios got like streaks of red across theirs bellys almost like...
