    Fish seem fine but are very thin, lost 2 already

    Eating fine and nothing protruding from his bum. If it is parasites, is there anything I can add to the water that won't have any effect on the other fish?

    Fish seem fine but are very thin, lost 2 already

    I have a community tank with sharks, mollies, guppies, clowns, tetras (various) etc and I have had 1 rummy nose tetra, 1 dalmation molly and 1 silver shark all eating /swimming and appearing completely normal apart from being very thin. Of the 3, only the shark is still alive. His fins aren't...

    What does Ick look like?

    I have one red molly that has a few tiny white spots on its body and dorsal and one baby loach that has a few on its tail only. Could it be Ick? Whether or not it is what cure is available? A friend of mine gave me a little bottle of 'Protozin' some time ago. Will this help. Both fish are...

    Whehey - Loads of Baby Guppies

    :D After seeing one of the guppies giving birth and the other fish eating them one at a time, without a breeding net I used a little improvisation and saved quite a lot in a normal net whilst trying to keep mum away from them. She's now back in the main tank and the babies are all in the net...

    Male Guppy Female Molly!!!

    I have 6 male and 5 female guppies. I've got a male guppy constantly chasing one of the mollys. It is always the same one that he chases. Is this normal or is this male feeling a bit lonely becuse of the 5/6 ratio so he picks on another breed? Is it possible for them to mate and if so what...

    Dalmation mollies fighting

    I have just introduced 5 dalmation mollies into my tank 1 male 4 female. They keep trying to bite each other and occasionally other fish. It is usually the females that fight although the male has just started picking on others. They dont seem to be bothered which one they pick at so its not as...

    White ulcers

    Do the ulcers appear to come from beneath the scales and sort of seem to be squeezing its way out? Also have any of the fish suffered/died from dropsy recently?

    Silly plec. This'll raise a smile or two

    Came home from work yesterday to my 15 year old daughter saying 'Dad, Dad quick - one of the fishes has drowned'. :S What she was referring to was the fact that the plec who is about 1.5 inches had gone down the air tube and as it was faced down couldn't get out and was being bombarded with...

    Re: Previous post on Tubes

    Apart from relocating my tank a few days ago, I also renewed the tube. Since relocating and new tube, I have lost 1 silver shark and all mercury guppies (5). Could the loss be down to a new tube or is it what I think it was and down to the relocate. :huh:

    Air pump and lighting

    My tank uses under gravel filtration. The air tube causes the water to circulate around the tank. Am I supposed to switch off the air pump at night so that the water goes still so the fish can sleep without swimming into the water flow? Also can someone tell me what length of time to leave the...
