I got up this morning to feed Schnitzel only to be shocked finding him upside down...gone. What the heck happened?! he was ok last week, in fact I was saying on my last thread how well he was recovering. That hit me hard. Poor Ellie's wailing her heart out in her bedroom and I feel really...

Hi Guys, I've been AWOL for a bit. to be honest, very depressed and somewhat lost faith in every hope and dream that i have. (I always wanted to be a zoo keeper and i've always been very close to my animals) we lost 4 of our five fish. now we have only Schnitzel left and now he's all swollen...

hi all, some of you may know, i lost two of my precious babies a few weeks ago. and now i'm paranoid about my other three. the two died from dropsy-like symptoms of swelling up, (one with the pine-comb effect scales) but te other just got fat and started sitting around on the bottom until she...

This is my beautiful Bolly, she's beautiful to me despite her droopy fins and her wonky swim, not helped recently since the males decided to tear all her fins apart! she's now recovering well and seems to have forgiven the boys as she huddles with them every afternoon when they have their weird...

"since poor Ponyo died on monday, the fish tank has been very odd. Glimmer has been sitting on the bottom for most of the day and there are some shadowy parts on her body which worry me. but this morning i was horrified to find my poor Bolly being relentlessly chased by Star and ALL of her fins...

:( Just as poor Ponyo looked to be on the verge of recovery - all his swelling had gone down, just a few lumps and wounds left to heal - he's taken a huge turn for the worse. this morning, he's sat on the bottom, not at all interested in food. it's almost as if he can't see it. he swims in...

*heavy sigh* still no finding out what's up with poor Glimmer (still trying to get pics. gonna video her and take stills from that! stand by) but after having looked at the symptoms chart that logansmomma gave me, i was checking on her when i noticed Ponyo's scales were all stuck out on one...

Hi, it seems only fate that after posting a thankyou for your help a year ago, i'm back concerned for one of my beloved fishies! My daughter's fantail goldfish developed a lump last month, and seemed very depressed the day it showed up, she just sat on the bottom sulking. there were no...

just realised that title sounds bad, like you haven't helped me for a year!!! much the opposite, I haven't needed help in a year since you guys gave me great advice on my tank and ill fishies! just thought you'd like to know, we still have all five original fishies, in top health and...

just popped a bit of apple in my tank and wondered if this was actually a good idea. when i read up on fish before getting them, i found info saying that most fruit and vegatables are suitable (semi-cook hard veg) and i wondered if there were any to watch out for or if anyone knew of any that my...

Hi, been reading a few of the threads here and there was a rumour/advice that apparently, Plecos can't stand salt and it causes them a slow and painful death.... I was hoping to purchase a butterfly plec today to help with the algae in my tank so I thought I'd better check out this rumour first...

This is Bolly and Glimmer, (the calico is Bolly and the gold one is my daughter's 'Glimmer shimmer'). They wish to say thank you to everyone who has given me advice on how to treat their Anchor worm infestation. They're much happier and very playful, in fact following their recent behaviour, I...

I have been hotly debating with the hubby on this one.... can they see us? he believes/was told that the fish can't see past the glass, but i've seen fish spooked by quick movements. understood, this was either coincidence or i'm right. I'd like to think the latter. I know that fish will...

My fishies have been sick since just after i bought them. I have been doing partial water changes every two days for the past couple of weeks and taking samples to be analized, but more and more wounds keep appearing on my little fishies. they have been growing strange things too and i'm quite...
