Thanks for the reply. Yes I found out that's the one. I'm going to get some of them next weekend - excited to get my first tetras!

I'm thinking of adding some tetras to my 35 litre tank to make it more exciting. I think I remember once seeing a species of dwarf tetra in the dish shop that they said was called something like 'cherydon' - it looked like a dwarf neon or cardinal tetra. However, I can't find such a type of...

His stomach was so big and looked like it was going to burst and maybe had almost split a bit. So I euthanised him last night. So sad. I've had so many problems with guppies that I've decided not to keep them any more. So now I just have one very lonely guppy left :(

My guppy has a huge bloated stomach. It is very round and looks very strained. He also has a lump on the top of him behind his head and looks a bit lumpy near his bottom. He seems reasonably happy. My other guppy has a rather bent back. Do they both have TB? Does the round one have dropsy...

Hi everyone, My cory lost his barbels and some of the bottom bit of his mouth so I medicated the aquarium with baktopur. I did 4 doses with all the correct water changes to ensure the aquarium was cured as some of my guppies had died. This all happened a few of weeks ago. A few days ago I...

Thanks for your replies. My tank's 15 litres. I have the 2 platys, an oto and a black and white bottom feeder fish (not sure what it's called but you can also get weird albino ones too) and an anorexic guppy which is the last of a batch that all died. I imagine he's a bit lonely but I'm not...

Also I just read somewhere that otos are sensitive to white spot meds...is this true? I have one little oto in there with the platys.

Hi, One of my platys seems to have whitespot but is not responding to treatment at all. She has a white spot on her head, one the size of a sugar grain on her tail and then a couple of small spots of her body. She also seems to have scratched off some of her scales ( I assume rubbing against...

Thanks for your help. I'll start treatment now and hopefully all my fish will be well soon.

Hi I would really appreciate some help please. I have a small aquarium with 2 platys and 2 guppies and an algae eater and also a breeding net full of platy fry. I have noticed that my platy seem to be suffering from a fungal infection as one has a patch of white fungus by its mouth and the...
