I've an automatic feeder which I have used in the past with no issues. Water change in progress...

Not yet. It's next on the list. The fish has now stopped swimming about and is just lying on his side at the bottom of the tank, not quite motion less :-(

The tank is 8 months old and the fish has been in there as part of a school of 20 for 6 months. Water is fine (usual levels). I've been away for a week and come back to see this one fish acting strangely. Everything else in the tanks appears normal. The fish is a little off colour (darker...

One of my wild green neons has started swimming around a little bit randomly and sometimes upside down. Has anyone got any ideas?

One of my Harlequins has developed a red pectoral fin - looks like it could be blood! Has anyone seen anything like this before? It's only on one side.

Certainly attached. Thanks. If they are ramshorns, goodness knows how they got there. A trip to the shop for an assassin snail I think!

I found these on my Javan fern. Any ideas? Eggs of some sort?

I've an Apistogramma Agassizii that has spawned. She is keeping guard in the spawning cave which is in one corner of my 70 litre tank. Is it safe for me to remove other ornaments from the tank in order to clean the substrate whilst I do a water change? My nitrate levels are about 40 ppm and I...

Thanks all. I've just got a few courgettes in so will see how he gets on with a little bit ?

. Mine often do the same, playing in the current from the pump. Quite enjoyable to watch actually. I am a relative newbie so can't guarantee this is normal/ ideal behaviour...

I've a Bulldog Pleco. He's a great fish, and enjoyable to watch. Lately he's stared moving around a lot more, particularly when the light goes off when he goes completely nuts! I've little visible algae in my tank (possibly because I've also got 5 Amano shrimp). Can anyone tell me 1) how do...

Thanks for the feedback. I took both of them back. The first time I was told that it was odd and even more so that I'd bought some from a batch which were otherwise fine. I was told that I'd get a fish back for free, but should wait a week to make sure that it wasn't anything to do with my...

I've got the API freshwater master test kit. I took a water sample down to my local specialist stockist and they got the same results as I did, so I don't think my results are inaccurate. I've already upped the water changes so thanks for that advice. I'll keep a close eye on the nitrate...

I had a shrimp jump out of my tank once, and a Cory go and nestle himself tight in behind a plant at the back of the tank when he went off to die (I ended up having to remove almost all plants and ornaments before I found him). Good luck in your search!

Recently added two cory Adolfoi to my tank. After four days, I found one of the fish dead when I went to do the morning feed. The other one died after 10 days, again, found at the morning feed. There were no signs of either fish falling ill, and all the other fish in the tank seem healthy...
