Sorry, the tank isn't 1 month, I have had the tank about three months and been using the api master kit to test and it cycled nice and quickly (unfortunately using fish as per more bad advice from lfs but I didn't lose any). I got the golden algae and the yoyo at the same time. Might get another...

It's pretty new, only about a month I've had it. When do they mature to the point they stop eating algae and terrorising the other fish? Is there another fish that cleans the algae as good as this but won't harm my peaceful community? Thanks x

Thank you.

Ok. I don't have room for 6 yoyos. I had 6 neons but one died so I was just about to replace and get a few more but we had a few power cuts over the weekend so the filter wasn't running and I has protein film over the surface etc so I thought it best to wait a week or so with the full system...

Thank you. Weirdly, after taking the tank apart, the harlequin has appeared, so I don't know if it was in the filter or something? Really strange because it really was gone. Worried now as to why the yoyo has such a bloated belly compared to this morning. Yes I am a bit annoyed because the fab...

Hi, I have a 64l tropical tank, 5 black neons, 3 harlequins, 1 yoyo loach, one golden algae eater. I have come home just now, and one harlequin is nowhere to be found, and my yoyo loach is suspiciously fatter in the belly than this morning!! Are yoyos likely to eat harlequins??? I don't want if...

Thank you. First fish I've lost x

The poor fish died :-(

Thank you. Fingers crossed!!

That is reassuring. They all seem fine together, although I appreciate it's early days. An angry at myself as I wanted to, and was so careful to do everything 'right'. I suspect I am not the first to have bad advice. I just hope the fish with red hills doesn't suffer. Thank you so much for the...

I certainly will be!! Will my fish be ok and will it spread to the others? Does it generally get worse? Do I need to quarantine my poorly one?

It said to shake it for an eternity, then some more, and I really went nuts!! I had to keep swapping arms! How annoying though because I told the LFS what size tank etc and these were their advice. I haven't seen any aggression but who knows what goes on at night. My poor neon!! Thank you so...

I cycled the tank using the black neons and then adding harlequins, also using interpet filter start. The readings went through the full cycle. The readings have been as above for quite some time now. So I am happy it isn't recent ammonia poisoning. I wondered if perhaps its damage from using...

It's the API master kit.

Obviously the title should say *gills*...

I have a 64l tropical tank, set up for 2 weeks, then added 6 black neons at LFS advice, all fish happy and well, added 3 harlequins about 2 weeks later, all fish happy. This week (nearly 2 months later), I added a yoyo loach and a gold algea eater. All fish seem happy and are eating ok. Last...
