Thank you very much for your replies, I have been to the lfs and bought some oxygen tablets. Hopefully all will go well. Thanks Again Nick & Anne

Hi, We are going to be moving at the end of the week and have hired a uhaul truck for the five & a half hour trip North ( we live in Alberta) We have bought a brand new large garbage bin from Walmart and were thinking of putting the fish in a plastic bag with water from the tank within this...

Stupid Question - update Hi, Well here we are a week later, we did a 50% water change, took everything we could out and vac'ed up really well, there was a lot of rubbish under the decorations that we had not thought about before, we will be a bit more thorough in the future. We covered up for...

HI, Thanks for all the help, we are going to do another large water change and cover them up for three days but this time before we cover them over we are going to take everything we can out and vacuum the whole gravel, before putting the stuff back and then covering them . We will let you know...

Hi, No, everything we bought was brand new from the fish shop everything either came in a box or was wrapped in plastic and never been used before, they do have pieces of wood they can swim around and under with places to hide at the back but as we have said before no-one is missing, they are...

Hi, We must be on the right track then, we only treat the water that goes back in when we do pwc's. We had been doing a small water change every few days while we had the green water but to no avail. This time we did a 50% pwc Thursday evening before covering it up. We used to feed twice a...

Hi, Again, really glad we posted this tread, we have never laughed so much in years! As for a swimming body, it's too Bl****y green in there to tell, there could be hundreds of swimming heads and bodies for all we know! The tank is 48 gallons and we had put in some phos-x phosphate remover in...

Laugh I nearly wet myself!! Hi, Thanks for that reply, it really made us laugh, we will have to keep looking over our shoulders for the baddies! We have not had a tank before so nothing has gone in that should not have. We remember the fish we have bought as it is only recently, we have names...

Hi, Ok, my husband always says there is never a stupid question if you really need an answer, well in this case I might have to disagree. When cleaning out the tank and doing a partial water change we found a fish head, only small, no body attached, probably some-one's breakfast. It was the...

Have no picture available, they are just little brown ones, never left one in long enough to see what the end result is?

Hi, Well here we are several months later and we are slowly adding to the tank with no deaths so far. Our next question relates to snails, we noticed a snail some time ago and picked it out of the tank, we assume it came into the tank on the plants we bought. However since then we keep seeing...

We have had the tank just over three weeks, we put Nutrafin Cycle in the tank (48gal) along with Aqua Plus Tap water conditioner and left it for 48hrs. We then had 6 Blackskirt tetra's in it on their own for 5 days. 3 Cory's followed and then the Neon's were put in a week after that. During this...
