Ive got two angles fish, had them from babies, and they are rather large. About 3 days ago i noticed that the smaller one of the two went off its food, and hasnt been eating since. It doesn't appear to have any scrathes spots, etc. It has been alittle sluggish, and last day been hanging at the...

For the last few days my rainbow shark has become somewhat sluggish and wedges himself between the glass and the filter tube upside down. just yesturday i noticed that on one side of his body, his scales were raised and small redish marks were under them. i thought that it might have been just...

ive got a picus catfish and some websites says that they will possibly eat the smaller fish like neons, however the petshops have said they dont. I woke up this morning to find one less neon, now ive searched the tank, and there is no sign of him. Is it quite possible that the catfish has eaten it??

Thanks the plants ive got do still seem to grow, they just had some trouble in the start to root, that would be partly my mistake, due to alittle coarse gravel. it is a mixture of 3-5mm gravel and 50-100mm river stones. If bought a small internal filter today, and was given one. One has a flow...
