Possibly Looks like heater burn to me? Do you have covers on your heaters?

Thank you so much that would seem its exactly what it is, just had a thought i tried a new food with the fish the other day which was freeze dried krill, starting to think they came from this.

The tank is freshwater, nothing new introduced. Cleaned the tank this morning and have had two appear since. Just hoping this is not a parasite [emoji33]

Hi guys, have had a recent snail outbreak in my tank which i am currently dealing with, but upon inspection this evening i noticed this strange 4 legged creature on the glass of my fresh water aquarium. Any one have any ideas just what this is? I have been an aquarist for 5 years and have never...

I live in the uk im from london, i am beyond shocked at then readings myself its ridiculous, i am absolutely gutted as it appears one of my white clouds has just become unwell he is finding it hard to balance but still very much active, he is also not eating either but is not bloated atall, very...

Haha yeah like literally thrashing it to pieces for over 30 seconds lol, im just stuck now in finding an option to solving the high nitrates, long term effect will be devastating on me and my fish :( Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have just done a test on my tap water and have discovered my tap water nitrates are 80ppm this would be why my nitrates are so high, with out this they would be normal, i re did the test 3 times just to be sure and i am truly shocked that humans drink this stuff, any one have any ideas as i am...

Hi thanks for the reply, the tank has been set up over a year now, i feed them very little amount for the exact reason of the high nitrate, i have not actually checked my tap water for nitrates, how would i go about this would i take results straight away or leave it for a while before i measure...

Hi guys i have been battling my nitrate level for too long now and quite frankly have ran out of ideas, Every week i complete a 50 - 60% water change whilst i siphon the gravel and clean the tank then mid week complete a further 30%, i gravel vac daily after feeding with my marina battery...

This is perfectly normal all my zebra danios have barbels, if you observe even closer they actually scavenge food off the bottom of the tank and use there barbels when near the bottom, out of 5 of them i think only one might not have them. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

No unnatural red on fins other than the red that's supposed to be there and definitely no red eyes going on what so ever, this has only come up in the spur of around 6 hours so maybe other signs will follow. I hope not but guess just have to keep an eye on her for now. If any one has any other...

Thanks for the reply, i wish i could get a better picture it defiantly looks like a bruise rather than something in her stomach, its more visible on one side and has a darker colouring around it like shes been pinched but ive never seen anything like it in my life?? Sent from my iPhone using...

Guys i came home from work to discover one of my white cloud minnows with a horrible red mark that i can only discribe as bruising on both its side, one is worse than the other, first thing that i done was test ammonia which is 0ppm, its a fully cycled tank of over a year and have never seen...

Hi, he was doing it constantly for about an hour, I had my weekly clean yesterday and noticed a lot of sludge on top of the filter so I am starting to think he was trying to eat it as he hasn't done it since, he has been curious and been up there by the filter but not rubbed against it since it...

Hi, yes all fish eating perfectly fine and are all still highly active so leaves me very confused Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi guys, occasionally one of my 5 zebra danios decides to rub himself against the filter in the tank, i researched about this and all i could find was about ich and gill flukes, none of my fish are showing any white spots at all and the only thing is only one fish does it and its not all the...

Defiantly a natural occurrence my zebra danio's are always on the surface of the water when all the lights are off, both them and my white clouds are all night time surface sleepers. Sounds too me like they are happy as they are acting normal :)

Keeping betas in a vase one of my serious pet hates!!!

These fish are shoaling fish and should not really be kept individually, that not to say you couldn't but your fish would be far more happier with other piranha's, as for keeping with those types of fish the answer from me is a definite no no! Have had friends that have found this out the hard...

Thanks for the reply, have just spoke to someone that said pretty much the same thing, i will choose the safe option and leave it on for a few more weeks after all my fishes living conditions is far more important than my preference to remove it :)

Hi there fellow aquarists, i have recently upgraded my filter to a tetra ex700 canister filter and have been running it alongside my interpet pf3 for a little over 2 weeks now, basically i was wondering how much longer i would have to leave them running together till enough beneficial bacteria...
