Ok thanks for that, will have to order that. One more quick q, "aerate" during treatment, does that mean my internal filter will be no good? I am reluctant to turn on the hydor ario as it seemed to stress them in the first place. Also, my internal filter, the whole filter sponge is sealed and...

Well the male swordtail was flicking but apart from that they seemed normal. They don't look thin really, the mickey mouse platy you can see her ribs but I think that is just her coloring. I have noticed stringy poo in the past. I have not fed them since yesterday should I? I'm not expecting...

Sorry for not replying, I have not been able to get a test kit yet for ammonia, but the nitrite is still zero. Things were looking good as the symptoms had decreased. The platy fry was doing well and grown a fair bit. The problems started last night when I installed a hydor ario unit. Shortly...

Hi guys, Not so much of an emergency but I want to get my fish back to normal :sad: . I have a 60L tank with internal filter. Nitrite is at 0. Nitrate about 30ppm. PH normal. Hard water. Kept at about 25C. I have noticed they are flicking against the wood and leaves which I hear can be gill...

Well just thought I would post on here as I was quite excited to find a platy fry in the tank today. Only one and unfortunately I think it was eaten as I cannot find it anymore. But I can still see individual dots in her gravid spot so with any luck one or two may survive. At the moment I have...

Hi, I have a 60L tank thats been running for about 4-5 weeks now. I can't test ammonia but nitrite is 0 nitrates about 20-30ppm. I have got 3 swordtails and 2 platys. 1 male of each. My main question is what is normal behaviour for these fish. After I feed them they all bar the female platy...

I have this tank, as said before its a aquaart tetra tank 60L. I bought mine with the filter and heater in a package, seems to be going well at the moment although I'm not sure if I need an oxygen pump...

Thanks for that, the fish are doing very well at the moment and I would say are back to almost normal behavior. I tested the water but annoyingly it only tests for nitrite and nitrate not ammonia so I'm left a bit confused. I left some water in a spare tank for 24 hours and double dosed the...

Hi thanks for the advice. Well when I came back I found all but one of the fish resting on the bottom of the tank, I obviously panicked, and did a 50% water change, and de-clorinated before adding. They are a bit more lively now but are sucking air at the top of the tank now. As far as physical...

Hi guys I am currently cycling a tank and have had 5 fish in the tank since Sunday. Two platys and three swordtails. I have a few plants in the tank as well as some bogwood. I am using the filter that came with the tank I think its called aquaart. I do not have an air stone. I am using tetra...
