Have you removed your carbon filter (sorry if you have i could not see it mentioned)? also my pleco has had fin rot since i got it (4 wks ago) and although i have not cleared it up i have drastically reduced the rot from where it was causing massive tears into the fin . to now where it is more...

I bought a BGKF (Black ghost knife fish) about a month ago for ym tetra tank the guy at the fish store recommended him for just that purpose( the git ) after doing some research i have discovered that the BGKF finds tetras very tasty once he gets big enough to eat them so my question is at...

is there any discolouring or whitening around the edges of the fins where the tears appear ?

@ nmonks how about meal worms a friend of mine swears by them, but i can't see how fish would get the chance to eat them in the wild?

fin rot and fungus meds come to mind but you should really finish one med at a time

could of been you stirred up some pollutents from the bottom of the tank while you were cleaning whats the water stats ? PH, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, tempreture? I'm not very good at this kind of thing but the sooner you get these stats up the sooner people can help you diagnose your...

yeah clear/silver body fins coloured yellow/black/white in that order starting from the body they all have a black spot just above their gills they look similar to this only they are clear and have a large spot on their backs also only a really thin yellow line on the fins and no red on the...

cheers for the reply matt i glad you think the neons will look the part as for the pleco i'll be honest with you once they get to a certain size i pass them on to my brother. i know it may seem selfish to some fish owners but hey thats the way i do things and my bro takes good care of them he...
