Thx everyone :) I just want to feel that I am a good fish keeper and at the moment I don't :( what appropriate fish can I stock in a 35l?

5 years ago I bought a 30l litre tank and had a comet and shubunkin they lived for 4 years....in 2011 I upgraded to a 35l tank....and I have no end of trouble with fish....so a small tank looks like a better solution

Not much hope I don't think... Started SB treatment this am... Starting to think why me? Can't keep fish longer than few months :( I just want a fish that lasts for years... How often I clean out the tank they still are dying :( maybe I need to go back to a smaller tank

Hi Jen I always use the api test liquid kit... Would the high ph be a factor in fish hanging at top? Just checked it and it's a dark blue colour

Yes I've still got a 10g tank...the water tests shows ... I have not got the room to get a bigger tank so all the problems keep occuring. Nitrates 0 Nitrites 0 PH 7.4 Ammonia 0

There is no other signs... What temperature should it be? I'm not taken temperatures before as I have cold water tank.

I have noticed my fancy is always hanging at the topof the tank gasping! Why do they do this? I have 2 filters going so really plenty of aeration in there!

Unfortunately I don't have the room for a bigger tank. IMO I don't think it's the size if the tank but trying to keep the water in good condition. This morning all my tests are normal and fish has swimbladder again!! Should I start the swimbladder treatment or not?(not a fan of medication) I...

I have 35l tank with one other fantail in the tank. I also have 2 filters running a marina slim 15 and an internal filter that goes in the water.

Can anyone help with a lethargic fantail? Doesn't seem to be swimming normal, just staying in top corner of tank! It's very floaty and not himself :( Did tests this morning and again this afternoon PH levels were very blue(will this be the reason) ammonia .25 so did 10% water change as I have...

over the past few days one of my fantail fish has been not himself, this morning he was hanging at the top of the water he just doesn't seem very active I did a water change last wednesday, tested the water today the readings were Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 Ph 7.4 Ammonia .25 Since the ammonia was...

My LPS always say if nitrites are high fast fish for about week and add stress zyme each day till levels are back to normal

how do you give the broccoli? cooked or frozen? sorry I'm new to these fish how many pellets do you give? LPS said just a few!

My fantail fish are doing fine, water is fine too. I would like to offer them a variety of different food to them can anyone suggest foods ok for fantails? at the moment they have pellets and daphnia. I have some frozen food as well but not sure if they are allowed this?
