Hi guys, little update, but unfortunately, my Sharkey has died today. R.I.P. The meds either didn't work, or were too late. I'm pretty gutted, but at least he's no longer in pain if he was before. Quick question, I'd like to bury him, (might sound silly but he meant a lot to me) but Im not home...

Okay, thanks, i will attempt to get some tomorrow and proceed.

Hi, thanks for the comment, i am going to get some fin rot meds tomorrow, would you agree with the previous comment and get something with metronidazole in it or just regular fin rot stuff? Im not clued up on medication. As for the salt, would this be like the Epsom Salt bath ive heard about...

Yea he has always been fine with the other fish. Usually he's the one doing the chasing, but they all normally live in harmony and he never gets bullied. I think ill start treating finrot, and hope he improves. Do fish stop eating when they have finrot? Because i haven't seen him eat in a...

Ao i think he has developed finrot, but im not sure what else it could be. He has sore patches where his fins come out of his body, and his gills look quite red. he has also lost a lot of weight in the last few days. So should i now treat for finrot? Or a bacterial infection?

Just managed to get a video, which should make it a but clearer whats going on. http://youtu.be/ysmVH6Fl_ZI

Last water change was 40% on saturday, did water test yesterday Water temp 26 (at test time, though it fluctuates slightly between 25&27 normally) Ph 7-8 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10 So everything seems good on that front. Will be doing another water change this weekend.

So my shark has moved off the bottom for the first time in a week, but still seems bad. This morning ive noticed all his fins seem to be rotting away. Is this finrot? If so, could it be causing his other symptoms? this is the best picture i can get at the moment. You can just about see his...

Hmm okay, so maybe old age, its just the fact hes only started showing signs in the last week, i didnt think old age symptoms would come on that quickly. :/ dont wanna lose my fav!

Hi everyone, So in the last week or so my Red Tail Has begun acting really strangely. Ive had him for about 4 years now in his 30g tank and all this time (even through moving house 2 years ago) he has been happy, gets along with the other fish in there and he swims about and eats normally and...

Ohhhh, thats quite interesting! Ill cut down a bit then on food (: And ill do that next time, thankyou very much! Why are puffers lots of work then? Theyre worth the efffort though right?

Okay, thanks for the help!! (: at least my tank is cleaner because of them! And at the rate theyve been reproducing ill have more soon enoughh! Or maybe ill jut get a puffer :D haha

I dont know what they are, theyre a sandy colour, some of them are a dark sandy colour and a few are black. I mustve got them when i bought the plants.

Okay, how do you sugest I toss them? In a bin? Boiling water? Theyre annoying but i dont want them to suffer...

Hi there, So, basically i have wayyyyyyy too many snails and i need to 'rid' my tank of a few of them. I have a large planted tank, with 2 filter/pumps, a 100w heater light, lid gravel. The normal works. In it i have 8 Neon Tetras and 1 Red tailed shark. I also own hundreds of snails...

Well, males are more aggressive, and are pitch black in colour, whereas females tend to get greyer on the belly than males. Apart from that im not sure, ask at your local pet store. (:

Acctually, in bigger groups of 6ish you can school red tailed sharks. But that could get quite an expensive fishing shop! :P And i think if u put a male with a few females then thats okay aswell, because in my local fish store they have 6 or 7 in a tank with a frog and some snails :P

Thats a beautiful anglefish!! :D

Thats quite interesting... Sounds like a beautiful tank, bubbling with life :P If angelfish work then theres 2 golden marbeled down my local store, their absolutely beautiful (: Do you have a favourite fish in your tank? Ps. Temperature of my water is staying at about 26*c... Is that okay?

30 gallon? Wow, pictures make it look bigger than my 55gal!! Haha nice tank! :)

Okay thats really helpful thanks. Its tricky getting the right temperature, but it should be okay (: So what do you keep in your tank? Because even rainbow sharks are quite picky ive heard? And especially red tailed, theyre hard to find tank mates for! :P

Dont worry, my fault completely! And yeah, i think its that people dont realise the fragility of fish, and that their certain conditions must be met (: And originally i had planned for 3 Ottos, and 4 Fancy guppies. But, when i got home this evening, (after id written the original post) i...

Hi, really sorry you misunderstood. My fault conpletely. What i meant was that when i was younger my parents bought me goldies. Now im older im not into them, especially as we have some in a pond in the garden. But thanks for the advice, and its great to know people out there care this much...
