Thanks. I got some melafix for wounds/abrasions. He may have got it from always pecking at the driftwood. After 3 days the spot has reduced and changed to brown so hopefully working.

Anyone know about the Juwel Rio 125 tank. I have one and it has 2 light tubes, blue and white. I presumed you can switch them individual but I cannot find anywhere on the fitting that would do that, only the main on/off switch. Am I missing something? Can these tubes be used separately? Thanks...
My dwarf gourami male seems to have developed a large red spot between eye and mouth. He is the most dominant fish so doesn't get any bother as far as I'm aware. I did change stuff around yesterday so maybe got knocked or a parasite maybe? I was thinking of giving him a salty bath. Water levels...
Just lately my tank is getting worse every day with brown/ black bits on top of the sand. I have a large piece of driftwood in there but I scrubbed and cleaned before I put in. Could it be bits off that still? I suppose I cannot get rid unless u remove wood and sand?

I have 6 plants. I did a 30% WC yesterday and tested today with the API master kit. It has dropped from 0.5 although not sure if zero. The colour chart is blue for zero and light purple for 0.25. It was kind of a slightly darker blue but not purple. I will do a WC today and test again tommorow...
Cheers. I did a 25% earlier and just tested. The nitrites now down from 2.0 to 0.5 in 24 hours.
Everything else on zero.
I was going to get aquarium salt to reduce the nitrites to zero

I have been cycling for 2 weeks now with zebra danios.
The fish seen fine, my test with API master kit are Ammonia 0 (same for 4days) nitrates 20ppm (dramatically dropped from 80) but nitrites are 2.0ppm. I really want them zero so I can get fish. How can I get the nitrites to zero?

Will just put it down as a mystery and hope in won't effect ammonia levels too much if still in tank somewhere

Nothing I can see. I did leave the feeding hatch open last night in the hood. Got no other pets to get into it

Hi. I'm cycling with 5 zebra danio.
Had them for 5 days all doing fine. Looked today and one is missing.
I've taken all decoration out, all filter from compartment, heater and pump. Moved sand around with siphon and cannot find it anywhere. Very confused!
