I have Calico Fantail with what is now a long standing swim bladder issue (5 weeks). I will be posting my water parameters and methods already tried to resolve in due course. I've posted a video to demonstrate some of his swimming, but to be fair, he makes more of an effort when he knows I'm...

Thanks, will definitely run the test for a week.

Was pretty much just after the pwc. I turned down the heater temp as advised and then tested. I'm using Prime as a water conditioner. No ammonia trace in tap water.

I think I'm pretty much nearing the end of my fishless cycle of my 55 gallon tank. I just wanted to run something by you all though. About ten days ago, I was registering Ammonia 0ppm (dosing to 3.0ppm daily) and the nitrites had zeroed out too. The nitrates were too high though, so as...

I have just about finished my fishless cycle on a 53 gallon tank. It will shortly home my current fish which are... 1 Black Ranchu 1 Black Moor 1 Calico Fantail The fish are all babies, about 1 inch each in length. I wondered if there was anything else I could add to complement the tank, such...

Just starting my first fishless cycle, have dosed the tank to 5.0ppm, seeded the tank with filter media, added a microscopic amount of flake and left in the dark. The ammonia level has remained for the past three days? Is that normal?

Thanks for the Seacham Prime recommendation, has excellent reviews, ordered some just now, even if it is double the price here in the UK.

Filtration-wise on my 65l tank, I have a Fluval U2 Underwater Filter 400LPH. Its funny, I never considered my 17 gallon tank as small. I started off abput two months ago with a 9 gallon tank, but quickly 'upgraded' to the larger size. Looks like i'll be upgrading agaon this weekend. I already...

I have decided to go with a bit of a buffer, this 200 litre (53 gallon) aquarium looks OK, any thoughts? Roma 200 Fish Tank And Stand Ark Pets EDIT: Managed to get the ammonia reading down from 2 to 0.25 with the water change, that's a relief.

Thanks all. So with my three fancies, I would ideally be looking at 40 gallons? Is that US gallons? If so I need to be looking at around 150 litres. Sorry to be all metric.

Many thanks for all the advice, I really do appreciate it. I had no idea that I had overstocked the tank, I thought I had followed all the advice given by my local specialist aquatics centre. The fish are babies really, so would I be able to keep on top of things with PWCs? I would obviously be...

I'm new to the forum, so just saying hi. Im a new aquarium keeper, Ive got interested in it, as we live in a rented property and are not allowed other pets. When I was young, I thought all you needed was a bowl, some water and preferably at least one fish, but obviously there's a lot more to it...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and aquarium keeping in general. I have read endless amounts of literature, and have spent a lot of time and money setting up my tank. I have a 65 litre (UK measures) with three small fish, a Black Ranchu, a Black Moor, and a Calico Fantail added two days ago. All in...
