Hi All. My red capped oranda has developed a small bump/bulge on his side. I've read about supersaturated gas maybe causes symptoms like this. I noticed it after about 6 hours after doing a large water change. If it is because of supersaturated gas will the bump go soon? Thanks.

Hi All. Just wondering if any of you from the UK have high Nitrates in their mains tap water supply? Mine are 50ppm(mg/l) before even putting the water into my tank. What do you guys do to combat it? Thanks.

Hi All. I've been running a 25g cold water tank with 2 fancies in it for the past 2 weeks. I test the water daily and have been doing water changes of around 20% every 3-4 days. Over consecutive days my ammonia level is 0-0.1, Nitrite is 0 and my Nitrates are 50mg/l. Would you say my tank is...

Hi All. Would it be deemed safe for my fish if I mixed hot tap water and cold tap water together when doing a pwc so I don't get a drop in tank temp? I'm running a 25g cold water tank with 2!fancy goldfish in it. I could leave a bucket out over night to get to room temp but then I could only...
