Thanks for all your help! I thought it may be sitting loose but i have tightened it so much i'm not sure i will be able to take it out :) The tube is 15w and 18" long! Is it fairly easy to get a replacement ballast? how easy are they to fit?

The light in our aquarium stopped working a few days ago, thinking it was just the fluorescent tube i bought a new one! However the bulb is now flickering very badly. I was concerned that this may scare the fish so i have had to switch the light off while i figure out what the problem is. Any...

sorry, i'm quite new to fish keeping... what is a betta? is it an american term or a latin name? I know my fish as a male siamese fighting fish.

I looked into my 60l tank today to notice to my horror that my male fighting fish's tail is almost completely missing. There are a few white hair like strands in place of the tail. I have looked about the tank for the missing article but it would not appear to be there. None of my fishes...

I did a pH test of a glass of tap water which had been left standing for 24 hours and got a value of 8.0. Straight from the tap it is 7.2. Is it normal for the pH to increase like this?

Just done a complete water test and have the following results: pH 8.0 ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate 20-30 I've also just noticed that several of my fish (Neons, Siamese fighter) have tiny white spots on them. I have previously had a case of white spot (about 6 months ago). I have just put...

I used a liquid test kit to check the water. I'd have the larger loach and the black neons for about a year, the smaller one, the mollies and the fighting fish about 2 months. The neon tetras and danios were added less than a week ago. Unfortunatly I've just come in from work to find another...

I have a 60 litre freshwater tank and in the past 2 days both my loaches had died suddenly. The tank currently contains 5 Zebra Danios. 6 Neon Tetras, 2 Black Neon Tetras, 1 Male fighting fish, 1 Black Molly, I White Molly and I Albino Catfish. All the fish are less than 4cm with the exception...

I have 2 Bronze Catfish in my tank and for the past day they have been behaving rather oddly... One has spent the past few hours sitting on top of my filter and the other as found a gap in some leaves and is sitting in a plant. I haven't seen either of them move at all today but they are both...

Thought it was unlikely that they were catfish eggs, but we've only just "spring cleaned" the tank (including boiling the gravel to remove the snails). Before that we had hundreds of snails and now only 5 or 6. I don't understand why we haven't seen anything else like this in the last few...

Hi guys Last night before we went to bed, we spotted some strange little white eggs on the side of the tank. On closer inspection we found them on leaves (both above and below) on other walls of the tank and on the filter. These eggs are about 1mm in diameter, are grouped together (like an egg...

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitley try the lettuce/cucumber thing to get rid of the snails. I'm considering also getting a Clown Loach or two. As for the case of the missing fish, I guess they just passed on and we didn't notice at first. Thanks for the help.

I recently counted the fish in my tank to find that I was missing a Neon Tetra and a Black Neon Tetra. I searched everywhere in the tank and checked the filter but there is no sign of my missing fish. I have a 60 litre tank with: 3x Leopard Danio 3x Zebra Danio 6x Neon Tetra (now 5!) 5x Black...
