Hi all, I have had my Panda Cory for about a month now. I only have one since there was only one left and thought I would get more (4-5) when more come in, unfortunatly none have as of yet. I don't see him eating very often, I have catfish pellets that I put in one a day, about 4-5. I'm not sure...

To start off, sorry to hear about your fish, I to have had problems with my Betta the last couple of weeks but now hopefully he is on the mend. I am not a pro at this myself, I too am still learning. What I will say tho is, probably the best thing you can do is water changes, my problem doesn't...

Its been a while but just an up-date on my Bettas condition, I have been qeeping the light on the tank off for nearly the full day since and doing 50% water changes every cuple of days. A day after I posted last I noticed some white fluffy spots 'growing' on his tail/fins. However over the last...

Still no change in him, don't think he looks worse but I don't think hes any better :sad: Another water change in a few hours I think.

Oh right here we go. Tank: Juwel Rekord 70 (70liter tank) Internal Jwel filter, with a few course and fine sponges, a Cirax media layer is in it aswell. Fish present: 1 Betta (the sick one), 3 Mollies (Red/Orange ones), 1 Panda Cory (only one in the shop so thought I would take it and get...

I just noticed my Bettas fin tips have rolled up and are 'glued'. Thats really the best way I can describe it. He was fine first thing this morning! Hes having trouble swming a bit because of this, he really doesnt look well because of this.

I could be interested in them, could you get measurements of them please? Just to make sure they would fit it my tank :good:

Nice, very natural looking. I also love the wood, the 'sticky up-y bit' in particular :good:

Thanks again for your advise and help, and again to you Oldman keeping me on the right tracks :D I think i did read somewhere I have to buy a Bulb from Juwel as they specifically fit Juwel Hoods and standard bulbs don't, something to do with the connections. Is this true?

depending on your location, if your in the UK your can mail order from Boots the Chemist, they have the right stuff and it was only like £1.80 and came to me in less than 3 days (which is brilliant for where I am, island of north west Scotland) Ammonia Och it's out of stock tho :sad:

Thats brilliant... and the first one is huge! I would be scared that my hand would come out missing a finger! :hyper:

Agreed :crazy:

Looks brilliant, very impressive tank :good:

Well at the moment my stocking goes as far as a Blue Male Betta. I am/was thinking of adding 3-4 Sterbia Corys along with maybe 2Mollies/Platys and maybe a few tetras (Rasboras or Neons) My Tank is Juwel Rekord 70 (However dimensions give it 83 liter or 22US Gallons) What other combos could I...

Hi all, I'm looking for a new bulb for my tank as the tank was used for about 2-3 years (about 8ish years ago) and now up and running again on the original. At the mo its a 15watt (I think) T8 bulb that came with it. Im looking to be growing some basic plants... Java Moss and Fern and maybe a...

Very nice set-ups you have there... jealous!

It sure did thanks. Yea it sounds like it, i will be adding some Java Moss when it arrives (purchased off a fellow forumite heer) and then when I can get my hands on some the fern later, just take it one step at a time with him :shifty:

Well another 5days have past since last up-date. The plants have been out for 5 days, I've left the carbon in and done a few 40ish% water changes. Also suplimenting the bettas food stuffs with freeze dryed bloodworm once every cuple of days. He seems to be doing excellent since the plant...

Thanks all for the valuable information you have given. Some more info to help... I live on an island off the north west of Scotland (Isle of Lewis) so would be looking for a UK vendor. My tank is a Juwel Rekord 70 (however the dimentions of the tank on the calculator rate it at 87 liters or...

I would also like a batch too if theres still some going?

Hi there, I was able to buy a few parts for my Juwel Filter/pump on Ebay, I think what you are after maybe this Pump Part If you just search around on it though you should find the parts/replacements your after, I also managed to get the impeller for my pump for less than £5 on there too. Good...

Hi all, at the moment I am looking at some stocking ideas to complete my tank. However my LFS is quite poor in stocking fish (its really a garden center) and I was thinking of ordering online, how safe is it for the fish to be delivered by post? especially where I live (western isles) it maybe...

Thanks for that, now I'm at the point of carbon been in since yesterday afternoon so will leave in till the weekend and see how its going then. I have also removed all my plants, they didnt seem to be doing to good so thought I would take them out now, better to be safe than sorry... incase it...

Cool maybe il try moving the direction of the pump exuast. It wasn't a snail I fished it out and it was a big poo, it just fell apart. Thanks for that, maybe I'm just abit wary after the other two dieing so quick :rolleyes: Will be putting carbon in tonight to get rid of the Meds and maybe...

Well hes still alive today so at least thats something. Any ideas people? I'm going to get some carbon today to put in the tank, at least that will take care of the Velvet Meds. How long will it take to clear? Water test today is normal Ph-7.4 Am-0 Ni-0 Na-10

Heres the video Video

Um I think the betta just had/done this.....

Well having problems with my betta now :sad: Listed in the Emergency Forum here if anyone can help (has pics) Emergency Post

Just took a cuple of mins of video footage and uploading it the now, looking at him now though for 5mins he looks slightly calmer just rubbing on the tank itself and not diving into the sand. The end of his big tail/top fin is looking a bit white/see through though. should be able to see it on...

I'm pretty sure that the Velvet Med isn't doing any good (it has been in since Friday lunchtime) so I'm really not sure what to do now, or what to treat for. I can't really do anything now untill tomorrow morning as the lfs is closed today. Oh live plants were added on Wednesday, they came from...

Ah yea, it was Interpet Number 7 (Anti-slime and Velvet) The tank has only had the fish in for 8 days, before then I did a fishless cycle for over 2 months and was ready for 2 weeks before adding the fish. It is a juwel Rekord 70 tank. The fish were bought from Pets at Home and came from the...

I've had my betta for just over a week now. I had it in with two Dalmation Mollies who have now died. I presumed they had velvet as they had gold spots on them, I treated with Interpid velvet meds (still in the tank) as they only died yesterday) The Betta has no glod spots at all or any form...

Well today both of the mollies died :( I started treatment for Velvet on Thrusday (probably tolate) after one of the fish was looking pretty weak. They both went down hill fast tho, I used the interpret med for Slime and Velvet. My Betta is looking fine no spots at all, and seems very at home...

Il test the tap water again but when I started my Cycle it was 0. I have ordered a pile of live plants to add to the tank at the moment its only two slate structures in it, so that should help out then.

Cool thats good to know, will do another water change again in the next day or two to maybe lower them a bit again. No they seem to be swimming around fine, sometimes just sucking up at the surface and chasing each other, not hitting off the decor or substrate at all. Ammonia is 0 and...

Only recently put fish in my tank (saturday) 1 Male Betta and 2 Dalmation Mollies, did a water test the other day and had 20-40ppm Nitrate so did a 50% water change but tested next day and no change will I have to do a few 50%s to get it down? Also my Mollies seem to have quite a few very small...

Just ordered this set of plants, got a 70 liter Juwel Rekord tank, and going for a low tech set-up so will see how it goes. Any advise is greatly apprechiated as I have never had live plants before. Plants Ordered Thanks

Well its been a long time since updating this. I will have to input all the rest of my results but heres where i am now.... got my first three fish yesterday and will be getting more ordered soon as well as plants. Got 2 Dalmation mollies and a Fighting fish, not a perfect match but the wife...

Well over the last week my results haven't been kept up to date due to illness but back to 100% and things are looking very good. The nitrite spike seems to be over and readings are now at 0 and still 0 after 12hours, Ammonia clear for 12 hours. So will now be doing my 12hour tests from now...

Blimey thats detailed! Right down to the towel no your shoulder :fun: Excellent walk through, maybe have to use some of your tips.
