Thankyou for all your advice everyone, I asked around on other sites and also facebook and nobody seemed to know for sure, lits of people suggesting fungal infection or also pleco bites, so today I finally managed to get out and went to my local (trusted) fish store and showed the guys there the...

No one seems to know what it is :( Ive searched around and seems nobody has seen it before! and I cant isolate it at the moment, I lent my "hospital" tank to my friend who needed it urgently and theyre using it at the moment :/ Although, the fish has had this for nearly 2 weeks now and it doesnt...

Yes I do have a pleco, I got him from the same person I got this fish from

I went away for just over a week over the holidays and got back home yesterday. I left my brother with instructions on how to care for the fish while I was away. When I rang home a few days in he told me one of my fish had "something wierd" on it, I asked him what and he said it was something...

I have now been given fish through friends and my mums work colleges 3 times now, due to them getting rid of their tanks/the fish not getting on etc, but the last time I did this there was actually more fish than the woman said on the phone, and they were quite a lot bigger than she described...

Thankyou! :) and oops! must have clicked post before the upload had finished, Ive attached it to this :)

Oh dear I hope not :/ does tank size affect how much fish grow? Ive been told it does but dont know whether its true. Ive had him 3 months and I dont think he's grown, but then again Im not sure on the growth rate of plecos that size, and I dont know his age :/

there are a few more.. I have a few others that Im also not sure on but it only let me upload 4 images at once, so here are the others, once again any help at all would truly be appreciated, thankyou :) Pic 1 and 2 - My favourite and most prized fish is picture 1, she/he is so beautiful, I love...

Im no expert but I currently have 3 pleco's, though none bristlenose. However, one of them (my sailfin) I received from a woman who used to have it as part of an (accidental! - they were meant to just be pets) breeding pair and she said it was quite uncommon for 2 plecos to breed, and that she...

Youre right, they could be kitty tetra, though the body seems slimmer and dorsal less curved and long? Also I dont know how well the photo shows it but there are white tips on the fins that I cant see on googles kitty tetras, but yes definate golden gourami thankyou :))

Ahhh thankyou so much! I was given a little group of 5 of them from my friends mum about 9 months ago and all she could tell me was that she thought they were loaches, and Ive been searching for their name ever since :) And yes I love mine too, they always seem so busy and happy and their...

Thankyou! :)) and ahh I hope he doesnt get any bigger, Ive had him just around 3 months and as far as I can tell he hasnt grown from the hefty 9 inches he was when I received him (the woman told me he was "about 5" on the phone!) but I know how large they can get and really would be sad if I had...

I was thinking pretty much the same as its had the popeye for so long and it doesnt seem to be causing any harm, but just wanted to ask for other opinions :) So yeah thankyou, pretty sure Ill just let it be, unless it starts to get worse :)
