So one of my WCMM is crazy aggressive. He relentlessly chases down all of the others, more so during feeding time but also throughout the day too. It's got to the stage where I'm finding all of the others with nips taken out of their fins and other injuries to the point where three have died...

They're still too young to sex i think, neither of them have any bristles yet. There's plenty of room and hiding places, it's just tonight they seem to have been really bad. I guess I'll just keep an eye on them to make sure it doesn't get any worse.

I got two BN pleco's a few months ago. Up until recently they were fine with each other, but tonight it's all after kicking off. Usually one of them seems to be the alpha (I'll call "A") and if they ever meet each other he will show some aggression and the other one would run away (I'll call him...

One of my Goldfish has dropsy. He is really really bloated, his scales are sticking out and his eyes are bulging. I feel horrible because of it :(. I noticed a few weeks ago that he was a bit floaty, like he had to work to keep himself down at the bottom, and when he went up floated up really...

Hi, I have 2 longfin bristlenose plecos for the past few weeks. I'm just a bit worried that they are not eating any zucchini or algae wafers that I put in the tank. I leave the zucchini overnight and the next morning it doesn't look touched. And if I drop a wafer anywhere near them they just...

Anyone used these before?

The stock lighting for this 200litre tank is 2x 30W T8's. I'm growing anubias and other low light plants at the moment, but not much else will grow with this lighting so I'm looking to upgrade. I'm going to get twin Grobeam 600 Ultimas (2 strips). http://www.aquarayusa.com/grobeam.html I was...

Thanks, that's reassuring. They also spend a lot of their time behind the filter, but even after one day they have been a lot more active than they were yesterday. They're super cute tho. Wish I had a night light to see them after lights out :)

I got two bristlenose pleco's yesterday who are extremely shy at the moment. Any time I put an algae wafer near them they ignore it, and as soon as the other fish get a sniff of it they are all over it. Today I have tried some Zucchini near the driftwood cave where they hang out and still...

Ok, just an update. Tank has just fully cycled, hurrah! Fish are showing no ill effects from the cycle. Both are very lively and eating well so happy days. Now I have been thinking a lot about the 2 fish I have. Because they are common goldfish, i know they are gonna outgrow the 25gallons...

Thanks for the help guys :). I'll keep an eye out, but pretty convinced its not ich now

Anyone have an idea if its ich or not?

Ok so here are some pics. As I said its kinda hard to see so I uploaded a few.

I'll try get a proper pic tomorrow to post. I won't make any decisions till you see the pics and I get your opinions.

It looks like little specs of salt I guess. There's about 8 on each of his gills. Looked at your pics and its not even close to looking like that (poor lil guy). Yours stand out a lot more where as you have to look really closely to see the ones on mine. If it was ich would it spread to the...
