Thanks but I really like my clown fish so I am looking to upgrade, on my budget it will take a few months but then I will have a better tank and happy fish

Hi am looking for some advise with my sw nano again now I'm good with the basics. A friend of a friend who had got bored with it gave me this tank. Its about 30-40 litres, so it’s really tiny. I have attached a couple of pics, as you can see its mostly living rock and the two fish, so my...

I would go with squashed. I have know Idea about the betta

I Microwave them first, then take the skins off I give them whole to the big fish and squash them for the little ones

good luck hope they are all fine

I used pets at home own brand, I didn't want to wait around so I had a option of the two brands they had, the shops own one specified how to use it with loach the other didn't. Loach are med sensitive so if you dose for white spot you then need to be even more carefull if you have to swap to...

I think the trick is to be able to tell there is a problem when the fish is only a little bit sick, then you still have time to look up symptoms and get advise.

Thanks for your help, I wasn’t able to take the weather loach out to treat them separately, but I was able to successful treat the whole tank at half strength, everyone looks fit and healthy with no more spots. I will continue treatment for the next few days though to make sure its not still...

my step dad did similar when feeding my fish droped the tub of food in, much skimming and cleaning to sort that mess out.

I have a large cold water comunity tank, mostly gold fish but also some weather loach. I have white spot, I know the loach are senstive to medication and that I need to treat the whole tank, can any one give me any advise to the best way to treat this with out killing my loach?

welcome I'm another newbie. murtle looks cool

The worst thing I have ever seen is a tank with nothing but fish in it, just a box of water dosn't make a aquarium in my opinion, I know thats not what you ment but the decorartion can add a lot to the tank. My tank is heavly planted and althogh I do have a lot of fish in it you carn't see them...

Happy Birthday I used my empty tank for mice, spiders give me the creeps

Yes I had thought the colour loss would be perminant but noticed a few red scales the other day so wondered if it was possible to get the colour back, but as long as its healthy it dosn't really matter

Just a standard comet

Hi Ok it’s not really a dieses problem but more of a general health thing I was given a goldfish that has completely lost its colour; I know loss of colour is down to diet. Is it possible to restore the fish’s colour by improving its diet and if so what’s the best thing to feed it. I...

I bought a new fish on impulse from the pet section of a garden centre, put it straight in with my two goldfish, no quarantine, a few days later all the fish got ich and died.

I had a dream about setting up a large tank in the living room, it was a good dream so I desided to go a get one for real. I got a little 25l cold water tank whichI planted up and put kept a couple of fancy goldfish in. That was all good for a year or so but then they got ich and died. I was...

yep the birds, the bees and all the fish too

Yes but I agree big business and animal welfare don’t go together unless there are a lot of legalization and checks in place (why bother worrying about genetic lines if the fish sell anyway), but isn’t the amateur hobbyist likely to inbreed as well, though a lack of understanding of genetic...

never done it my self I heard the key is to give them a period of cold to simulate winter, so when you raise the temp again they get that spring feeling.

A fairly random thought occurred to me on the bus ride home, is in breeding a problem in fish? I was thinking, you go into an aquarium shop and buy a few fish of the same breed at the same time they probably come from the same source and so could be related. Assuming the are a type that breeds...

Thanks again I will give it a try

Thats great thanks. How long do they take to grow to a quarter inch?

I have a pair of buenos aires tetra that have breed twice now, but I haven't had any success with the fry. If they breed again I intend to move the plant they lay on in to my quarantine tank to let them mature. What should I do about filtration, the quarantine tank has a small in tank filter but...
