Hi I think I might have planaria in my tank because there were these tiny white things attached to the front of the tank swaying - looks like hairs about 1cm length, however i also noticed just 1 really thin small white worm as well about 1 inch long kind of wiggling thru the water it looked...

its at feeding time but also other times, at night mostly anyway they are gonna go back so I guess I wont need to worry about it thanks tho I didnt mean to rant I just get annoyed, I do look after my fish and I have never had a death..I know that my angels are better with me than with a kid...

i do know all this AND i did say that i only wanted 2 angels in there and since angels need 10 gallons each and the tank is 18 " tall i dont see a problem with that The problem is that my boyfriend brought the clowns, I did not and do not want them. I dont even like them. I have learnt a lot...

they might be just playing but they are damaging the other fishes fins. I have 2 fish with ripped fins now :( I think it would be best to take them back as it is only a 20 gallon. I only wanted 2 angelfish in there and my b/f went and bought the clowns :angry:

Hi My clown loach are chasing and attacking the other fish especially my angels. Is this normal?? Also at feeding time they sniff round the other fish really violently and try to nibble at them

can fish get mucus?? i took some pictures of my angelfish to the lfs and they didnt know what he had but said it might be mucus and if i bring him in they would scrape him... (he has had white spots/marks for about 6 weeks) i dont think he would like being scraped... if it is mucus can it...

Hi what causes fish to suddenly 'dart' for no apparent reason??

its ok now !!! think i was being paranoid....

Hi My angelfish seems a bit lethargic and is not swimming around like he normally does and is just staying in one area (the corner) He did eat something but he didnt really eat like he normally does (which is like he has never eaten before..) i cant see any other symptoms??

I know I will ! I already want to redesign it! after only 6 weeks

Hi I bought an amazon sword and it came in a black pot with foam inside it. Do I plant it like this or take it out??

Hi Theres some strange cottony white stuff growing on my fern plant Its growing on the roots as well, its attached to the actual plant and is nowhere else in the tank. Any ideas?? thanks

it was really annoying...i didnt even see him go in there..dont know how he got in..the water level doesnt even go to the top of the filter..!???! :dunno: he looks ok, and just ate, and has gone back to chasing the other platys around..should i put some melafix in anyway??

last night I found a spider in my filter..upon getting it out somehow my platy must have found his way into the filter..found him in there just ...24 hours (almost) later.... Anyway got him out, did a water change because loads of bits came out of the filter when we were getting him out (had to...

just found it crawling down the outside of the tank the angelfish was following its progress from the inside looking like it wanted to eat it...

phew..... i didnt think this fish keeping thing would be so complicated..!!!! or that i would start to think of fish as my babies...!!!

I just took the lid off to put in a plant and i saw a very small spider (really really tiny--smaller than a money spider) in the corner of the lid. i tried to get it but it disappeared and i cant find it would it matter if it went in the water?

Hi Is the glue that holds fake plants together harmful?? My fish just pecked at some on a new plant i put in

OK i've had a look I take it I have to cycle the tank as normal??Also is it the best thing to just have one on its own?? Will it be OK?

Hi I am thinking of getting a small tank/bowl for a betta I have never had them before but after seeing them in the fish shop they are quite lovely, and I feel sorry for them being kept in teeny tiny jars until they are sold Anyway are they easy to look after? What is the minimum bowl/tank to...

I'm not sure..Have you tried melafix? And is it getting better or worse?? If they rip their fins it usually heals quickly but with finrot it will get worse.

Have you got any pictures?? When you say its got a toothpick coming out of him do you mean the fin?? Are the edges of the fin red (bacterial finrot)or white (fungal finrot) Also does it look kind of ragged??

its 20 gallon is the coarse and fine sponge the blue one?

Does anyone know how often you need to change the white polypads in a Juwel internal filter? Mine have gone all green and yucky Do they hold any of the good bacteria on them? thanks
