No copper dusting that i could see, every time i got the flashlight on them it startled them and they swam off.

Its still morning where i live, its been a few hhours since i noticed it,2 fish are still doing it, the venustus and lombardoi, but the rest have stopped.

Theres no sores or redness. And iv never had a case of ick so i dont know what else to look for.

This morning ive noticed my fish behaving strangly, most of them are rubbing themselfs against the decorations in the tank, i see them do it some times but not like this, i done a pwc yesterday as i do everyday, i used the same conditner as i aways do and i done nothhing different so why are...

Tank is 210L. I do weekly 50% pwc and the leaves on the plants look like there cracking and my plants are starting to sag and fold over, i would take a pic and put up but i lent my caamera out and it hasnt been returned yet. Stock is: 3 guppys, 2 cherry barbs, 2 black phantom tetras, 2 gold...

For about 12 months now ive been enjoying fishkeeping, and have always admired live plants but have never been able to grow them in my own tanks. I was wondering if any one could give me any tips on how to get started, none of my tanks have lights or anything special in them. I try to buy low...

I change 80L every day, and once a week i have to get all my buckets, catch my fish, change all the water, rinse the substrate and the decore to remove the build up of waist stuck to the ornaments, i dont like doing it cause it stresses my fish out but i asked the man at my lfs and he didnt...

After you get your tank sorted and back on track, i would suggest a few guppys, the range of colors they come in never end... And maybe some tetras such as black phantoms, gold flames and diamond tetras, tetras always add color to your tank and are usualy active and fun to watch.

The water in my big tank keeps going cloudy, im doing a pwc every day, and once a week i have to clean the whole tank out cause my fish are nearly dead. Im pretty sure i know whats causing it, i need a bigger tank, my fish have all out grown the tank i have and are producing to much waist. Im...

Whats nls? I live on tiny island at the bottom of australia, i may not be able to get it. I have a little orange flame tropheus in my comunity tank, i feed them a mix of spirluna flakes and pellets plus frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp, and my tropheus seems happy and healthy in there.

And also idk the water conditions for tanganiykans, ive herd that diff fish from diff parts of the river need diff ph and food requirements, is that true?

Not sure yet, iv been looking at a 450L and a 500L but im not sure if either of them will be big enough though.

Im thinking about starting a tanganyikan tank, im hopeing to put a few dif tropheus breeds, some fairy/princess cichlids and a few cuckoo catfish, any certain tropheus species? Or other fish kinds i could put with them? Nothing over 7" though. Thanks

Amphilophus labiatus or 'red devils' go well with oscars and green terrors, we had 1 of each in a 500L tank and they was wonderful together.
