Hi, I think one of my discus fish has hexamita. How do you treat it and where can you get the treatment from? Also is it contagous? Thanks

Thanks i thought it might be an issue

Hi Matt We have had both Dwarf gourami's and Cherry shrimp in the tank together with no sign of any issues. I would only say just use common sense due to the size of the shrimp. Keep babies in a breeding tank till there big enough. hope this helps Steve

Hi everyone. I'm looking at getting a large tank 7ft wide, 3ft deep and 2ft6in tall. I would like to use this tank to home a couple of smaller breed Rays. I wandered if my discus would be able to live with the Rays or if it would cause problems. Thanks for looking Steve.

Hey. I was wondering if anyone knew if discus have any specific behaviour when they have formed a breeding pair? Thanks.

Hey, Am in the UK They are a great help thanks. Found a couple of tanks. Just need a cabinet now, does anyone have any idea's about cabinets? Thanks

Hi everyone. I've been looking at getting a large scale tank suitable of housing a Ray. I have been told a 7ft wide by 3ft deep and 2ft tall tank woukld be the minimum size. would this be correct? I have been searching the internet and am struggling to find any sites that sell tanks of this...

We have lots of hiding places for him. and most of them he will be able to use when he gets bigger. We have a 200L tank but by the time he gets bigger we will have bought a bigger tank probs around the 450L mark probably bigger. He seems a bit more confident today as he has been swimming...

Hi, I have a small BGK fish approx 3-4inchs long. I have had him about a week, and wondered if he wasnt eating would he nip fins?? I also wondered if anyone has any tips on what to feed him and also how you can teach him to be hand-fed? Thanks :good:

Ok thanks. Will keep my eye on them.

My glowlight shoal is 6 but only 3 of them are hiding by the filter.

My tank is a 64L tank. I have 2 live plants. My nitrate reading is 0 because i only did a water change this morning. There are no signs of flicking or rubbing. The fins are not clamped. They dont look pale. and non of there fins are nipped. thanks

i have 6 glowlight tetras and 6 green neon tetras. The tetras that are hiding are 3 glowlight tetras. There is no problems with the catfish they are fine they are corydoras sterbai and swim around happily. The tank is a 64L tank with 20 fish in total.

Hi, I recently added 4 rasbora scissor tails to my tank of 12 tetra and 4 catfish. After the rasbora were added all the tetra started hiding, however today three of my tetra have started hiding by the filter but everything seems normal about them. Has anyone had anything like this before...

Hi. The fish are eating now. We broke the flakes up a bit more and they began to ate them. Thanks for replying.

Hey guys!! I have got 6 Glowlight tetras and 6 Green neon tetras in my 64L fish tank. MY levels are: Ph - 7 Ammonia - 0ppm Nitrate - 0ppm Nitrite - 0ppm The 6 green neon tetras only went into the tank a few days ago but dont seem to want to eat anything. Does anyone know of a possible reason...

Hi, I bought 6 Green neon Tetras a few days ago to live in my fish tank with 6 Glowlight Tetras. I cannot find much info on green neon and was wondering if anyone had any advice or information about them.. Thanks in advance :)

Hey guys! Got up this morning and the new fish seem a bit more settled, they might be a bit nervous, i have fed them but the new green neons dont seem to go for the food like the glowlights. Could this be nerves? Thanks.

ok thanks for that. Will let everyone know how they are in the morning.

It is a 64L tank, it has 2 lights in the top a white light daylight which is 15watt and a blue light called cool blue moon which is 15watt. They are about the size of standard energy saving bulbs. Thanks.

ok, thanks for that. however i think i have worked out the possible problem. i have a light in my tank and the new fish see to be scared of it, as i have now noticed that it is only when i turn the light on that they go nuts and then huddle in a corner, but when i turn it off after a few...

No they are both the same size :) it's just strange how when i first released them into the tank all 12 swam round in a shoal then when i turned on the night light (a dull blue light) after it went dark, the 6 new green neon tetras went a bit crazy swimming round and then huddled in a corner...

ok. I do a water change every week and do tests every other day apart from after adding fish when i do tests every day for a few days, but my ammonia and nitrite are both at 0, they rose and then fell to 0 again before i put any fish in. Is there any other things i need to do? Thanks

I am using a liquid test kit, and it is a API freshwater master test kit. What sort of hard work do i need to be prepared for? Thanks.

Yes its really 0 but the tank is only a couple of weeks old so that might explain it. Thanks for the help guys :)

Yes i just did the test as to why i took ages to reply before they are: Nitrate - 0ppm Nitrite - 0ppm Ammonia - 0ppm Ph - between 6.8 and 7. Thanks

yes i have 2 live plants. My tap nitrate level is 0ppm. how do you mean bad water? Thanks

Hi, Yes i cycled. levels are: Nitrate - 0ppm nitrite - 0ppm Ammonia - 0ppm Ph - between 6.8 and 7. I checked my levels this morning before going for new fish, the other fish have been in the tank over a week and i have had no problems with them. Thanks. they were in the bag for 20mins and...

Hey!! I have a 64L tank with 6 glowlight tetras in it. The 6 glowlights were all really happy and swimming round so i decided to add some more fish to my tank today. I added 6 green neon tetras (similar to neon tetras). When i first added them to the tank they were fine and swimming round in a...
