Hi everyone, I don't know if anyone is reading this but I really need help urgently. The guppy has taken a huge turn for the worse. When I came home tonight I found her lying on her side at the very surface of the tank (at first I thought maybe she was dead but then I noticed her breathing)...

Hi everyone, I recently posted a thread wondering whether my male guppies had some fin rot (http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/332556-please-help-diagnose-my-guppies/page__gopid__2761645&#entry2761645). Once I read the replies I stopped treating my tank with Interpet's Number 8 Anti...

i would say there being nipped by one of your other fish like could be the cheery barbs or something like that barbs and long finned fish dont mix Yeah, I know that now... But didn't at the time of buying them. For some reason the LFS said they're good community fish. So you don't think it...

I have 15 fish in my tank (which works with the 1 inch of fish per US gallon rule). When I first got them I didn't know about best mixes etc, so perhaps it's not the best thought out. But I have: 4 male guppies, 1 female guppy (I know this is terrible, but it worked out that way after previous...

Hi everyone, I've had my tank since the beginning of November 2009. It's a 63 litre tank with a mixed community. Everything has generally been going well. However, for some time now my male guppies (I have four) have had rips and tears in their tails. At first I thought this was fin rot and...

Yeah, that's the part I'm nervous about. I know you can only kill them when they're in the free swimming stage and it seems a bit difficult to make sure you catch them then! I did my first treatment on Sunday, yesterday I noticed that most (probably all) of the white spots were gone from the...

Thanks, Fishaholic :) I'm actually using the same Interpret Anti-White Spot 6 treatment as you did suggested by my LFS (as I think some of my fish are too sensitive to salt), and am following the instructions given to me at the shop - treat on the 1st and 4th day with the carbon filter removed...

Hi everyone! Thank you for your help. I'm now treating all of the fish and hopefully they'll be back to complete health in no time :) I think the fact that I noticed it so quickly makes the treatment easier. But that'll teach me about not putting my fish in quarantine first (though to be honest...

Hi everyone! I'm a new fish owner and hence have so many questions right now that it scares me! Let me give you some background first. I have a 63litre tank to which I added my first fish on October the 30th (2 cardinal tetras, a bronze catfish, 3 guppies (2 males and 1 female, I now know this...

Thanks very much for all your advice, everyone! I'll try and seperate her from the rest of the tank asap. I'm not sure how well a tank needs to be planted for good cover for the fry. I have 6 plants in bunches of 3 together, though I don't know what they're called (oh, to be a novice!). Is Java...

I'm actually in the UK, but I'm sure I can find something along those lines here as well. I'll get looking :) Thank you for your advice! It's great to have someone helping when you're a complete newbie. Just a few questions about the fry - what do I feed them and how often? And how long do...

Thank you very much for your reply. As I'm also new to forums I haven't been able to post the pic yet, pathetically... Hopefully I'll manage to soon!! My plan was to find out how long she has left to go (from the picture, hopefully) roughly, put her in the little breeding tank as near as...

Hi everyone :) I'd love some advice about my pregnant guppy. I've only had my fish from Friday the 30th October so it's not a cycled tank yet (which is another thing I'm worried about). Could you please give me some advice on what's best to do - how long she has to go, should I put her in a...

Hi everyone :) I'm not sure how often people check this forum (I'm completely new to forums, as I am to keeping fish!). I'd love some advice about my pregnant guppy. I've had a look at this whole thread and I'm still struggling to tell how long she has to go. I've only had my fish from Friday...
