    Help my guppies are dying

    Thank you for your info, I’ll put the salt in this evening. The female guppy that has the bite marks was chewed by the catfish, I had to take her off him. I’ll send a video of the remaining fish.

    Help my guppies are dying

    Ok thank you I’ll try the crushed coral or cuttlefish, I’ll leave a jug to settle over night and test it tomorrow evening. Hopefully I’ll have some better readings for you to look at. I appreciate the help.

    Help my guppies are dying

    Yes I was disappointed that they didn’t give me any figures for the ammonia. I have done a water change on both tanks this evening and treated the tap water, I washed the filter sponges with the water out of each aquarium. Should I add any PH treatment?

    Help my guppies are dying

    I had the ammonia tested at an aquatic shop this morning, they said that was ok. I did do a gravel clean on both tanks recently and moved some plants and dead foliage and roots from the sediment in both tanks.

    Help my guppies are dying

    Hi, thank you for responding, I haven’t added anything to the tank in the last 2 weeks. I’ve checked the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and Ph levels, the only issue there is the HP level is slightly high but other than that all are fine. I clean the filter every Sunday it’s a fluval 3 filter. I...

I’ve had my guppies for nearly 2 years they were doing well all healthy with lovely colours, I originally set up the smaller tank for the female guppies, as they were getting hounded by the males in the large tank.

    fresh water- learning all over again

    Hi all, I’ve just purchased a new light for my aquarium, I set it up in my tank on Friday, but it’s very bright, I’m a little concerned that it’s too light for my guppies and mollies, one of my mollies died this morning and I’m wondering if he was stressed due to the bright light.
