I bought a pair of dwarf gourami about 3 weeks ago and put them in my community tank. All was fine they were both swimming about happily and peacefully with the other fish. Then about 4 days ago the male decided to hang about in one corner of the tank, at the top where there are some floating...

Can anyone help please? I have nitrite of 0, nitrate of 5 -so far so good, but my ammonia is 0.5 despite several water changes. Also the water seems to be very slightly cloudy. What can I do?

I bought some micro worm culture and carefully followed instructions, eventually after about 2 weeks I scraped some of the 'goo off the sides of the container and it killed most of my cory fry:( can you see the micro worms - i couldn't even with a magnifying glass. What am i doing wrong.

My elderly Dad has a small tank that I set up and cycled for him. He has had it since since Xmas with 3x silver tip tetras, 3x neon tetras and 2x of my young peppered corys. All going great then he said he wanted a couple of my male guppys (I've got loads) but since I put them in his tank (2...

One of my male guppys has been developing a bent back, downwards and sideways. Now he seems to have a job swimming properly, but still eats ok. Can i do anything to help him, and what could be the cause of this. [/URL][/IMG]

I have a female guppy who seems to have what looks like some kind of prolapse can anyone tell me what this is please?

I have got a small 35 ltr (10 gal) tank for my Dad. I have cycled it - readings have been stable for over a week now and are the same as my 4 other established tanks. I thought I would put 3 of my young female guppys in it just to finish any cycling needed and they were just hanging about and...

I am setting up a small 36 liter (10 gal) tank for my elderly dad who has mild dementia. I took him to the lfs and he fell in love with the silver tip tetras. My question is can I have just 3 of these and 3 neon tetras - will they shoal together? I don't think I should have more than 6...

Is this humpback on my young guppy a genetic problem? If so will she have humpback babies?

Do the measurements of fish given in descriptions include the tail or not?

Here's some pics of my baby corys. They are 5 weeks old now and between 1/2 to 3/4 inch long. They're soooo cute! [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

I have 6 harleqins and one has always been a bit smaller than the others, but now he looks decidedly thin and his lovely orange and black markings are so faded that you can hardly see any colour. Can I do anything to help other than wait and see?

My baby peppered corys hatched out a week ago today. For me, if they reached 1 week old that was a milestone. Happy birthday babies :flowers:

I bought 2 male guppies about 8 weeks ago. 1 died about 3 weeks ago and now the other one is just hanging about in one place at the bottom of the tank. There is nothing apparently wrong with him, he just lies there looking like he's panting this has been for 3 days now. All the other fish are...

I just saw this stranger in my tank! First of all i got really excited 'cos I thought it was a baby cory - then I realised that what I thought was it's barbels were LEGS! I haven't got anything with legs on in my tank last time I bought some weed was a few weeks ago so maybe it arrived as an egg...

I have collected 2 lots of eggs that my peppered corys laid. A lot of them turned brown so i know they were fertilised. I removed the white ones. The 1st lot took 5 days to produce some 'wigglers' but after a couple more days these died. I now have eggs laid 5 days ago but nothing happening...

Please can anyone help me, or rather my poor zebra danio. I have had her for about 6 weeks and she (I think it's a she) has always been fatter than the others but I thought that was because she was a female. But now she can't swim and just floats about on her side near the top of the water. I...

I have a female white cloud mountain minnow that looks ready to lay eggs, but I only have male GOLD variety. Will they spawn?:ermm:

I think my guppy is squared off, also she’s not eating, staying near the top, hiding in plants or hanging about near the heater, not swimming around but her tail keeps 'shivering'. I put her a seperate tank 4 days ago but she's been like this for 4 days. Is she allright?

I only got these guppies 10 days ago but i'm sure that at least one of them is pregnant (the one with the orange tail). I don't want to stress them out by putting them in a hatchery too soon, but on the other hand, I don't want the babies to get eaten.
