i would say its only about 4cm long (mouth to start of tail) its lying on the gravel most of the time then does swim around for 10-15 mins then just stops again. is not showing any signs of white spots though the fish is a pretty pale color to start with so hard to spot. it hasnt flicked up...

used a API Freshwater Master Test Kit pH - 7.2 Ammonia - 0ppm Nitrite - Oppm Nitrate - slight tint of orange but hardly enough to say its at 5ppm (test kit goes from 0ppm to 5ppm the fish has been in there for about 2 months and it does not look that old but i dont know how long the store had...

hi all one of my guppies has a clamped tail like its all stuck together i think people refer to it as "pin-tail"? i remember my old betta was sick a while ago and this happened to his tails and i can not for the life of me remember what was wrong with him i have tested water quality and it is...

yes its most likely Ich if there is any possibilty to quarantine the betta in another tank by all means do so if its in a tank by itself then there is a number of treatments you can use which will help personally i found that the King British brand works well just dose the water with the amount...

i would like to think its not something i have done but it just seems odd that they are fine one minute and they next there dying off one by one the first one to die was not small do 3-4cm compared to the others it seemed young just seems odd that the first to die was put in 2 months ago, then...

i have another guppy thats showing signs of a strange swimming pattern hes like moving in one place and not bothering to go anywhere i have never seen it do this before whats going on in my tank i have done even more water tests and still no change in the water conditions i even used 2 friends...

yeah iv tested the water and its fine, the guppys have been in this tank for a good few months now and there hasnt been anything added (fish, plants etc), water changes every week, they have been eating as normal and never had a problem for months until now just seems strange to me that it came...

thanks for the reply turns out it may not be swim bladder related as i not long just found it dead at the bottom of the tank he looked perfectly fine last night :(

Hi all one of my guppies is swimming upside down leads me to believe its swim bladder disease is there any way i can treat it or will it fix itself in a few days?

yeah i know about the sunglows i asked in store about that because i knew that sunglows are bright orange according to the store they breed their own geckos in store rather than buy them in from outside breeders so they know where their live stock come from, according to the store owner he came...

hi all after looking on the net today for some filter media for my river reef i notice i cant actually buy biomax bags for the tank. interpet do their own branded river reef carbon/felt pads and foam sponge packs but dont sell biomax. do i actually need to replace the bio-media at any point?

the more natural the better really but i like the ornaments that are the castle ruins type just need a fair sized one something about 10"-14"long by about 10"High and just cant find one thats coming from the uk :(

yeh looked on eBay and most of them where crap or coming from Taiwan, and my LFS where crap aswell :/

hi all I'm looking for a ornament for my tank and the ones i have came across are either crap, too small for what i want or they are coming from Taiwan and i aint ordering something from the net from Taiwan. does anybody have any good websites pref UK based companies that deal in aquarium...

tanks been running for a while now and the wood was added the same time. so it wont cause any problems to my water and can go back in my tank then?

hi all iv noticed some white sort of fluffy looking stuff appearing on my wood in my tank and im not sure what this is it was not there the other day and now its just appeared over night and is now slowly spreading on the wood i have taken the wood out the tank as soon as i noticed it just...

Hi all after some know i cracked my Fluval Edge and sent it back to Hagen/Fluval for repair and its arrived back today all nice and shiny and fixed :) and for some reason Fluval have put in a replacement pack of standard filter media for the Edge Sponge, Carbon and Biomax. After reading the box...

its not really important the wood is perfectly fine to put straight into the tank if you want to give it that tea coloured water some fish like it that way i would imagin activated carbon would remove some of the colour but water changes would get rid of it all together i soaked the piece (left...

looks good with that bit of wood in it really good center piece, is it all one bit? and did you have any problems getting it through the hole at the top heres my edge before i had to empty it because i cracked the glass :/ Plastic plants with 2 pieces of Bogwood, Argos Play Sand, and 2 pieces...

yeah bogwood can take a while my grandad had a few large pieces for his big tank and they where still releasing tannings after 4 weeks with water changes 3 times a day they took a really long time but it was worth it :) and the fluval does look nice but i find it a nightmare to clean but you...

i give the bottles a shake before i use them. force of habit shaking the Dechlorinator bottle before using it, but its just a quick shake nothing to vigorous. a will remember to give the bottles a really really really good shake next time. am not going to be happy if its my test kit giving false...

i have a Edge myself (currently away back to Fluval to fix a crack i put in the side of it :blink: ) anyways if you have not figured it out yet you soon will that this tank is extremely awkward for even general maintenance with that small access at the top so my recommendations would be some...

got the test kit back out again. the Nitrate has more of a orange tint to it now but like you said even with the mature media its still no where near the 20-30ppm mark and thats testing it and leaving it to stand for 10-15 minutes
