i just thought with them devouring dead fish etc they might pick on them and try to eat them!!!!

Hi, Im just after a bit of info regarding these 2 species... I have 2 tanks but im considering getting rid of 1 to make a bit of room. In 1 tank i have Cherry reds and in the other i have the Amino shrimp... now, would i be able to combine both species into 1 tank or would the bigger Amino...

theres been a few strands of Java moss in with her but she's looked happy enough standing on the bottom. she was eating the past few days but i've not noticed her eat anything today...

Hi, I have a poorly CRS... about a week ago i found him stuck to my filter inlet slots (its a juwel monolux 60) and thought she was a goner but she was still alive. she was absolutely fine except that her front legs where a little out of shape so i isolated her to see if she gets better as i...

Best thing is though whatever the problem is with the guppy tail, melafix and primafix will cure most things that could be wrong! only thing it doesn't seem to cure is white spot unfortunately!

have to disagree with that last comment - i like the tea tree of Melafix, Primafix reminds me of a strong alcoholic shot that someone alsways seems to buy the group when out.... reminds me of BAD hangovers! lol

LOL stop it i just panicked then! on my bottles it says after the 7 days so i guess i just finish the course then pwc... just seems like a long time... tank smells lovely too!

DK, can i ask whilst treating with Primafix and Melafix would you still do water changes? i have both these and am currently treating tank for the 7 day period but would i leave whilst treating or do water changes in between????

ah cheers. i just can't believe it.... was worried about her gills then she goes and gets stuck! im a nervous wreck with these fish! lol. they do have little personalities i think.... thats why i like them... not going to replace any other fish and just have guppies and platties only... they're...

yeah they're definately slits. i've read that this just happens but i just thought i best check it out though as i noticed slits on 3 of them at once! everyone seems ok though and nobody has anymore slits so i presume it was just something that happened... just trying to not stress them out at...

well well sods law.... she died! not due to anything with the gills.... she found a space to swim in and got stuck and died! totally gutted but what can ya do. i've blocked that hole off now so hopefully nobody else can go up there! it is only guppies though that love to get into trouble! very...

it started with a baby with a slit tail but the other 2 guppies where adults. well woke up today and all seem to be none worse and all are absolutely fine except for the same slits so im hoping there is a good chance that it isn't a bacterial problem. it is only the tails that have that 1 slit -...

Unfortunately i have another problem now.... i noticed a baby guppy with a slit tail (2 slits actually). Now i have read up on this and whilst it is a sign of bacterial infection it can also be absolutely nothing but upon taking a closer look in the tank i noticed 2 other guppies with splits in...

ah cheers Jim. yeah i thought i better leave her to see how she is getting on... unfortunately i have another problem now.... i noticed a baby guppy with a slit tail (2 slits actually) now i read up on this and whilst it is a sign of bacterial infection it can also be absolutely nothing but upon...

well she seems absolutely fine and has been. she's not diminished or stopped eating, nore is anyone else showing any simlar signs so i think it must've been due to her pregnancy but if anyone knows any different please let me know. Cheers Rob

I know how you feel with how to diagnose. I had a problem of this not so long ago and it wiped out half my guppy population - all started with diminishing tails. After gathering advice from various sources it came down to being a bacterial infection. i treated with waterlife Myxazin which seemed...

ah cheers Jim if u don't mind. she seems ok so im tryin not to worry and hope it is just from giving birth and it'll go away in time.... :invasion::invasion::invasion::invasion:

lol yeah. there's still 1 or 2 in the tank but they hide amongst the tree's... i've had quite a few survive in the big tank and it's only now they're big enough to come out and not get chased that i've noticed them! there's about 8 all just under an inch and i think i know who the momma is too...

As far as i can see they're all good. she had them in a birthing box and i put them in my baby tank.... i've been getting a batch a week tho since i had that terrible disease last month in the main tank so at least i know everything is fine now!!!! I had a Platty give birth 2 weeks ago, then the...

cheers. i am hoping it is simply from being pregnant as she was HUGE and her gills looked fine.... it's only now she has the babies that i've noticed it but it does look like there is gill tissue slightly hanging out her left side. she isn't acting any differently... she's eating, swimming with...

Hi, Im not sure if im being a bit of a drama queen but i just want some advice... Firstly I have a juwel Rio 300ltr with a variety of fish (1 peppered catfish, 1 Plec, 1 Clown loach, 1 cherry barb, 6 platties, 8 neons and approx 18 Guppies ranging from fresh babies about 2mm long...

Hi all, im Robbie. Live all the way over in England (seems most people live across the pond from me...). Not long started with the whole fish thing but found i have alot of time on my hands and it's a lovely, relaxin hobby sometimes.... although i have just had a stressfull time with a bad...

yeah everyone seems to be fine now. nobody looks ill everyone is good and having babies! normally i'd seperate the babies but i've just let nature take it's course... don't want to cause any more stress to them in their fragile state... just absolutely happy that nightmare is over!

would you use half doses but treat for double the time or just use half doses and treat for same amount of time? fingers crossed that'll be the last that die now... i have to say tho they are looking alot healthier! just little things im noticing in them - the platties have their top fin up and...

ah wel my little fighter died and i've lost 1 more guppy since but i gotta say it's a vast improvement from the last week!!!! hopefully tho that'll be it as everyone else looks 100% fine (touch wood i haven't spoke too soon). the carbon is in and i did my 1st water change re-adding salt to the...
