i mean that i cycled the tank first (about 2 years ago) and has been running ever since, i use the air pump to oxygenate the water all the time and it has a working filter.

i cant, i just cleaned out the whole thing, if i haven't got a solution in 2-3 days (which is the time it usually takes to start showing up and taking over again) i'll take some pictures then and put them up.

the whole tank is being taken over by some kind of slime, it's a fresh water tank and at around 26C. the slime is sort of growing over all the plastic plants and is a sort of olive green to brown. when i clean out the slime and pour it out i can see parts of it are almost pink or red. then the...

i recently moved house, so had to do away with all the water in the tank, this was about 2 months ago, after a cleaning of the tank (nothing major, just scraped the glass and lightly cleaned the gravel with a siphon during a water change) after 2 days a slime built up on the glass, then on...

i've been telling her it's probably something else, but i dont know how this could have happened. so, this is quite odd, i've had this 1 guppy for 2 months now, there was a few others, all female, the others died but she survived. she then gave birth to about 40 a month ago. now the strange...

i noticed this thin sort of layer of what must be some kind of oil, floating on the top of my tank, i think it came from some fry food that i bought especially for my new arrivals but thats besides the point, how can i get rid of this layer of grease/oil that is floating ontop. i've tried...

i had a powercut last night, and it was an absolute nightmare, but luckly i knew what to do, i filled bottles with hot water to keep the temps up on my tanks. but it got me thinking, since it was at night, it was only luck that i was awake at the time the power went out. if i wasnt i would have...

i've just looked in my small tank and horrified i've found these long brown worms, they are everywere, all over the tank, they are brown and about an inch or more long, and seem to be pulsating. i've also discovered, and not sure how dangerious to the fish or me these are, they seem to be larve...

i had cycled my tank for months, and bought 3 female guppies, and stupidly, but i couldnt resist, a red tailed shark. i have another tank which isnt quite ready yet. 2 of the females died, as i was trying to condition the tank, but i'm sure it was the shark that killed one and the other pretty...

it came with a Fluval3 filter, which looks like a pretty old model. i'll probably be getting something better, the tank is about 109 litres / 23.9 gallon, so might chuck this old one and get a new one. i've got a 300w water heater, but it's probably way too powerful for the tank, googling the...

i want to make some unique things for my tank, but havnt a clue were to start, i know what i want to make, but not how to do it! i want to make a sort of board walk/pier to put at the top of the tank, and then at the bottom i'm going to put (might sound grim but) someone who is 'sleeping with...

i've just been given a huge fish tank, they have told me: it's been in storage for quite a few years, has had gold fish in, and has had treatment for fish diseases like fish white spot/ich. they have given various equipment and chemicals for treatments which have probably been up in there...
