I'm extremely pleased to report that 'Popeye' (his oh so original nickname now) is officially no longer suffering with popeye. I'm so surprised his eye is back to normal. I really thought it was beyond repair but hey....I'm very pleased with the results. Thank you so much again for your help...

Oh great! Thank you so much for your info! I'm guessing I have a male then! He looked quite alien like!! Lots of spiky bits!! Never seen one like it before so thank you for clearing that mystery up for me! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

Ah ok! Bushynose looks more so like it! Strange looking thing!! Is it normal for it to be hiding quite so much?! Thanks for the quick response! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

Hi all! I bought a tank off a lady approx mid Feb and was told there was a Pleco in the tank but seems to hide in the ship he has! I have only seen his fins as he's always in his ship....BUT tonight I managed to get a glimpse of him! Wasn't intentional but suddenly spotted something odd with a...

Will do! :) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

Thank you so much. Have asked my brother to grab me some salt first thing as I'm at work. I just hope it hasn't gone too far. Pretty concerned he may lose his eye! Thanks again! You've been a superstar! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

Homedog98 - thank you so much for responding!! I've got 5 other mollies and 3 zebra danios. No sign of any of the others being ill. I'm in the UK so can't get any aquarium salt until tomorrow morning :( can't believe it's gotten so bad. Have taken advice from websites but doesn't seem to...

Honestly guys...it's really awful :( I'm hoping somebody has a solution?!?! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

I have had a look on Internet as no response on here and a lot of people have said that water changes and leaving fish in a tank alone (stop others pecking at it) is the best cure if popeye. Almost 10 days later and it's looking a lot worse :( Please see pics....can anyone suggest any specific...

Hi all! I have a Sail Fin Molly that usually likes to show he is boss around the tank but has been hiding a lot over the weekend. I managed to get a glimpse of him tonight and his left eye is huge!! It looks like a clear bubble around his eye. Is this signs of popeye? Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0...

Thanks for the advice! I'm going to speak to one of my friends who owns an aquatic store and see if he can re-home any or if can do any networking and find them new homes for me. I'm going to look at it tonight so we will see! Do you think it's fair to make an offer on the tank purely because...

Hi all! Have been thinking about upgrading my tank. Currently have a Aqua One Evo 70 set up which is a 135L tank. It's going well and looks nice in my apartment but tempted to try cichlids. I was advised to get a bigger tank as my 135L wouldn't be suitable for them and this one I have found is...

Hi all! I've been having a look around and have found a Fluval 240 for sale very locally! This is apparently equivalent to 63 US gallons! Would this be more suitable for Cichlds?! I don't have room in my apartment for both tanks so my beautiful 135L would have to go. Does anyone have any...

Hmmm just been doing some more homework on the Kribs. Would they possibly live quite happily in my already established community?! I have neon tetras, zebra danios, mollies and rasboras. I presumed that if I bought some Kribs then I would have to have a Cichlid only tank?! I just read some...

I'm guessing the Kribs can't mix with the convicts?! Due to size and aggression from the convicts?! Is there anything relatively colourful I could put in with the Kribs? If not, how many Kribs would you suggest? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

I'm finding it really difficult to choose and some suggest one breed and say ok for 30 gallons and then other websites suggest min of 55gallons! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

Oh great! How many convicts would you suggest to keep at once? How about Kribs? And also these were suggested on another site for a 30 gallon tank - Archocentrus sajica - never heard of them but have noticed they are more aggressive than Kribs? Can you shine any light on these? Thanks again...

Hi WendiDell Thank you for the info! Very grateful! I've had FW tropical fish since April last year -and they have all been relatively easy to care for. I didn't choose any high maintenance breeds. I've so far had a paradise fish, dwarf gourami, neon tetras, Rasboras, zebra danios, mollies (had...

I'm no expert with Cichlids but have seen this - http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/cichlid/bloodparrot.php Just states that blood parrots, if kept, should be in a tank of at least 55gallons for at least one. Only because they can grow up to 25cm. Have a look at the above site! Has given me lots...

Just found my own answer to that question - • A larger aquarium is easier to maintain and easier to keep in good condition. • Cichlids are aggressive. Some cichlids are much more aggressive then other but almost all cichlids are aggressive and a larger aquarium makes it easier for weaker...

Hi all Just asked on here about what maintenance requirements etc I would need to consider if I changed to a Cichlid tank and was advised my tank is probably too small for most cichlids. Obviously quite disappointed as I was advised I could have a max 3 blue zebras in this tank by a few...

Really?! That's odd! I've been advised by 3 specialised aquatic shops that I could have 3 max in my tank with no problems :-/ I have a community of 22 freshwater tropical fish at the moment in my tank. I wouldn't want anymore than 3 anyway to see how it goes. What would be the main problem...

Yeah exactly! This was later established after looking it up online! This guy was actually keeping it in with the gourami's when I bought it. Madness! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

My male betta hated my dwarf gourami! Was advised they would be fine but clearly wasn't. He then started on my danio's and even chased the tetra's which was bizarre!! He was so angry at everything in the 135L (I think this is 34 US gallons) tank so I had to return him to the aquatics shop that...
