Sorry yes it was euthanize. I was a bit tired when I replied last night. The reason I suggested it was because it might protect the other fish as I dont have a QT? If you think it unecessary then thats good! Thankyou for your help. I feel a bit more confident now.

I tend to feed a smallish pinch of flakes 1-2 times a day and algae flakes at night. Most of the food gets mopped up fairly quickly, say a few minutes. Theres usually the odd flake that gets ignored but the fish, including corys, pick at those at their leisure. I dont think I would have the...

params are: Nitrate ~20 Nitrite 0 Ammonia 0 pH ~8 (About the same as my tap water) 20 Gall tall Fluval 3+ Sponge cannister filter 1-2 weeks pwc between 25% and 50% (i admit sometimes i can be a bit slack) Some of the fish tear up to the surface to feed. Its really just the gourami that is happy...

The other fish seem fine but she has a large sore on her side and a small white dot also. Apologies for the poor photograph.

One of my dwarf gourami's is dying and im worried about the rest of the tank now. Let me answer the questions on the sticky for this forum and hopefully someone can help me out. 1. Its a "sunset" dwarf gourami I think. I found him/her this afternoon lying on the bottom of the tank in my little...

I read about the iced bottle somewhere too? I remember a couple of years back we had a record hot summer, the highest temp was 37C (100F approx) which is something for the UK. My tank temp shot up to about 28C so I tried ice packs floated on the surface with no ill affects.

Good news, thanks for the response! My filter is a Fluval 2+ which is rated at 105gph so I think im ok on that score and I do a pwc of 20/25% a week. Im glad i bought six now. They settled in pretty much straight away grazing the bottom together with the odd one dashing off for a little...

Tank details should work now Sorry newbie mistake :roll:

Afternoon all, Ive been using this site for gathering information for about a year now and untill now ive been able to find the information I need. Ive recently bought a school of 6 peppered cory's for my 2' tank. The dude who served me asked if i wanted 1 or 2 and looked a bit confused when I...
