No red stripe is fine and no milky substance. Thank you

Yes it was, have taken all neon tetras out have done a 50% water change and had a good clean. Will go bacterial route with the neons, how long would you suggest to have them out, I have a spare tank and filter. Thank you Wilder x

Not sure if this photo will work, it isn't very good, was struggling with camera, flash etc It looks quite light the spot on the photo but it seems whiter when you look at it, both spots don't seem to move and are on the underside of the bottom lip, I can't see the mouth rotting or bleached and...

Hello Wilder Thank you for responding, I can only find 5 neons now :( lost one, 2 of the neons have white spots on their lips, one the size of salt, the other slightly bigger, no redness, no flicking, feeding fine. I fed them with a frozen food last night and the nitrate has gone up so going...

Hello, A friend (who is not a fish keeper) looked after my fish for a week over Christmas, I told her exactly how much food to give them but unfortunately she was worried about killing them so she gave them more every day!! So I came back to fat fish, did water change etc. I am particular...

Thank you for your replies I think I can have more what do you think- am worried about over stocking?? My tank is 105 litres - I currently have: 4 danios, 4 neons, 4 platies, 1 male guppy, 1 female dwarf gourami, 3 kuhli loaches and 2 small coreys I put a photo on of one of them...

Thank you, does it matter that I just fed them before??

Was just having a read up on dropsy, looking to see if I could see their scales, I did wonder whether I have been overfeeding, constipation. I saw that someone said shelled peas, is that just frozen peas, take the outside off?? Thanks Elaine

oooo I need to know what happened next, did Bubbles, 2 of 4, 3 of 4 and 4 of 4 find a new home........ did 'Dave' get Discus, please can we have an update..........very entertaining read and very much a cliff hanger :P

GULP!

Neons came out when feeding and I noticed that 2 of them are very fat, like pregnant looking fat?? What would it mean if my fishes gills seemed redder, but again not sure if this is because I am looking too hard, haha No didn't replace substrate, just added some large pebbles in one corner...

Hello Andy Tank is in lounge but has been no busier than usual and they have been in this room for about a year. ooooo I have been leaving the lights on for most of the day (which is more than I use to do) as my plants at the back were struggling and I wondered if that would help the plants...

2 words for your tank WOW and STUNNING, wish I could come and stare at it for hours haha!! It looks fascinating. Well done you. Elaine

Hello Lisa Lovely tank, really nice design, bet he is much happier in there, I would be!!!!!!! Elainex

The only thing I can think of is a bag of new pebbles, airstone, i have a carbon pad filter underneath the other filters (trickle feed filter with gap underneath) could this have any effect? but that has been a week or so. I closed down a small tank which had a male guppy in, I moved him over...

No-one has died or anything, I just a funny feeling about my tank, not sure what is going on, 2 of my platies keep hanging around the top of the tank (not gasping) just resting up them, one of then lies on the bottom and my 4 neons are hanging about under my bogwood arch huddled together. I...

Glad he is settled in well in your cave, nice to meet you today. Speak soon, Elaine

Hello all I have my first ever Corys, 2 small panda ones, I love them, they are fascinating to watch, I thought they just went along the bottom, but they have been up the sides and all over my bogwood, they are so entertaining. Elaine

Thank you Aaron for the information, will have a look at those websites, I have also found another local lfs that I haven't been to I will take your list and go see what they have. Am thinking of getting rid of the sand or putting in part gravel, have put some big pebbles in today to the left...

Aaron - it must be the old one the name is at the top and in a blue band, I only got a little bottle a few weeks ago, which hasn't got much in, so I can get new. Do you recommend this make or a different one? How much should I put in every day? it won't effect the fish or filter will it...

Thanks Aaron, I was just reading your journal, your tank looks great, I love the bogwood you had in at the beginning with the gravel round the bottom. Do you think the plants at the back are yellow because of fertiliser or light?? Elaine

Hello all I have a 105 litre tank which came with 2 x 24W fluorescent lights, I have 3 plants which seem to be doing fine, but 2 that the leaves keep going yellow and falling out, I have been adding Nutrafin aquatic plant food every week for the last 2-3 weeks, my substrate is sand. My tank...

A not very good picture of my Clown Plec who is looking for a new home!

Hello, he is free, and Sunday morning is fine, not too early though, my only lie in haha, I have been struggling with pictures they keep trying out blurry but will and attach one. I couldn't attach a picture in here, so I have put a picture of it in the Members section under Clown Plec (Blue...

I would say 4cm to the tip of his tail about 2cm body????approx

Hello, Trying to find a home for a clown plec which is in my smaller tank which I want to shut down. I haven't had him that long, I was told by lps he is a dwarf one?? I am in Brackley, Northamptonshire. Thanks Blue Bubble

Thank you for your help with my fish, unfortunately, he died today, after he seemed to be doing so much better, he was a fighter and lasted an extra month. Elaine xxx

Thank you for your replies, hahaha at wooden chairs. my CAE didn't hide as much as this clown plec, and he is so well camouflaged on the bogwood, we play hide and seek to find him and he is sooooo messy, I hoovered all the sand up yesterday and you should see the state of it already, he is as...

Yes thank you.......

So you were right my chinese algae eater started getting aggressive chasing my other fish round, so I went back to lfs who agreed to take him back as a tank cleaner. the story continues....they recommended another algae eater a bull nose plec, which we brought home, who we really liked ...

I had my old small tank so I set that up for him, and had a spare filter running in my big tank, so he is not in the bucket anymore. He has been in the new tank for nearly a week I think, but he still isn't get back to normal, he is swimming round a bit and feeding well, but he looks so thin...

Ok, thank you Colin for your help, she might have run off with a zebra danio by then though :hyper: , haha

Hello Mr Dwarf Gourami, is still going strong in his bucket and seems to be regaining his colour in the bottom part of his body, just wondered at what stage I would put him back in my tank to rejoin Mrs Dwarf Gourami and the others? Many thanks Elaine

Thank you for your quick response, it said on the box that it was harmless to filter??? hadn't thought of it affecting it, so thank you for that, will keep an eye on it. I thought I would need to build him with more food as he is so thin, (we did that with a cat once lol) so I should just feed...

Hi I bought 2 dwarf gouramis about 3 weeks ago, (a bit of a rescue mission from a closing down garden centre) my female is doing well, but the male one, who is red, has gone very thin over the last week and has lost his colour. I have moved him out of my tank and into a bucket with a heater...

Hi I have been reading up a bit and I think I am just going to stick with my 2 at the moment, from what I have read they can be quite territorial and I have a lovely peaceful tank at the moment and would like to keep it that way. If it was female I would be interested, but don't want to risk...
