Update Hello Just thought I would post an update (in case someone down the track does a search and wonders what happened). The sick neons got sicker in the days after the post conversation (above), and were euthanised (using clove oil - thanks to the post on euthanasia on here). When I was...

Thank you Aiken I hadn't even thought about knocking off my cycle with the multi-cure, which just goes to show that I'm blundering through this. Yes, stuff does look greener, but I only have plants in there (about 10 types) so it isn't that noticeable. I imagine it would be worse if it was...

Hello I am seeking some guidance on unwell neon tetras please. I have a 90L planted tank (about 6 month setup), that had 5 neon and 5 rummynose tetra, and a bunch of assorted snails that hitchhiked on plants. About a month ago one of my neon ‘dissapeared’. One day I had 5. Then I had 4. There...

Thank you both for your advice Reflecting on the stuff I've read and both of your advice, I am thinking I will not get a goldfish (feel quite sad about it, but the last thing I want is to adopt a fish and then make it ill or miserable). Yes, I can test the water (or rather get support worker...

Hello, Firstly thank you for letting me join the forum, and apologies for my silly questions. I have recently re-set up a tank. It is a 90L tank with a 550L/h filter with live plants and several logs, and coldwater I previously had a rosebarb and a fantail in it (for 7 years) but they died...
