Just done some research on pop eye and I think this is what it is! Especially as it does looks like extra fluid behind/surrounding the eye. Will water change, vac the gravel and keep an eye on it and then treat for bacterial disease if it doesn't clear itself. Thanks for the help, Joshua.

Test results: Ammonia = 0.2 nitrite = 0 Nitrate = 3-4 Ph = 7.3-7.5 Will do a water change tomorrow to try and get rid of that nitrate but it doesn't seem dangerously high to me? The eye seems to be clear as normal, the middle part looks fine, just the surrounding part, just looks swollen like...

Will try take a picture in the morning and do some water tests also.

Just thought I would share with you about my glass catfish. I also firstly bought 5 of the glass cats, and about 2 weeks on when I thought they had settled I found 2 dead, but this was some time ago and the other 3 are doing great. I would advise keeping an eye on your water changes to keep...

Hi all, I have had my 120litre tank set up for about 4 months months now and everything seemed to be settle in until tonight I noticed one of my silver dollars has like an inflamed eye, its like 'saggy' just around the black part. When the fish swims you can notice the inflammation kind of get...

Am I muted? :/

Re thread from this original: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/329582-help-my-plecs-tail-is-disintegrating/ Will upload a picture when possible.

Thanks waterdrop, new post now in emergencies, consider this thread closed :)

Hi all. I'm new to tropical fishkeeping and before getting fish I ran a fishless cycle. That lasted a month and a halfish. Have had fish for about 3 weeks now. I had barbs, an albino plec, albino Congo tetra, and a red tailed black shark. The barbs nipped the tetras fins so I gave them away...

My tank is 120l in size. Tbh the plec doesn't seem to be on the bottom, but more of the sides! The shark is a baby, only 2" long max. The plec is a normal plec, but the albino kind, so light brown/White belly. He has had previous owners so quite mature and is about 6" long. Joshua.

It's going down slowly, still sitting at about 2ppm! Grr

Hi all, am doing a fishless cycle. So far it's been 2weeks and the original ammonia is still at around 5ppm!! This normal? Secondly, I have 2 bits of bigwood in there, and it seems one has a White algae growing on it. Soft, whiteish and looks like candyfloss. What is it?? Thanks in advance...

So how does this sound: bristlenose catfish. Albino shark. 6cherry barbs. They all sit well together? What's the nature of loachers? Joshua.

Yes I am young and although not a teenager, am new to fishkeeping. But I have patience and am letting this tank mature! Have added ammonia, it's still sitting high after 2 days!! Just a waiting game now :) I think I worked the tank out to be around 120 litres, it's actually 15" high, not 17"...

Edit: have had a read on the cycle and understand quite well! What kits are out there to test for ammonia, nritrite and nitrate? Are they tested for together or individualy?

I haven't read the nitrogen cycle article, will have a look! What is a cycle? Filter is the fluval 205. Am using the basic filtration of foam, carbon and biomax. Tank is 36l x 18d x 17h. So this might be too short for angels? :( Joshua.

I have considered angelfish yes, do they come in pairs or more? What's the recommended amount for them? How big do guarani grow? Joshua.

Hi all, I am just starting out with my tropical aquarium, but am doing research before rushing into it! Have got a 150l tank, set up with a fluval external filter. The fish I definately want are: a pleco and a shark, either albino or red finned black shark. My question is what 'colourful'...
