Thanks for all the replies, feel much more at ease now knowing the little guys aren't afraid of the dark!

Hey, Just got home from a long holiday had someone checking on the fish and automatic feeder but have noticed my light is no longer working. I have no natural plants as the fish decided to destroy them but wondered if having no light has an effect on the fish? I am shopping for another but...

ok, excuse for a new tank!! thanks for the warning...

No, it looks more like a human birth mark, like the strawberry kind... it has halved its size after 3 days of treatment with melafix, not sure about the eye though, wont let me look. I was informed my tank was big enough to house the fish i have?!?!?!? Thank you for your comment

After; thought water change would be best thing to do so got on with it as soon as i noticed the "sympotoms" i will keep a good watch on them all and continue with the melafix. thank you

Ok, here goes.... 65ltr tank 2 congo tetras 7 neon tetras 1 gourami 1 silver shark 1 plec last water change was 19th jan, 25% today done a 50% through water change, gave pebbles a good clean. parameters tested today: pH 6.6 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 20 started treating with melafix

I have a gourami fish and it seems to have lost its colour, looks "dirty" and have just noticed one of its eyes is cloudy and it has a red pin head size "something" on its fin. Any ideas what it is and how i could treat?

A week? Really? Well i never.... Not sure how comfortable i would feel leaving them for a week without food... how long can they actually go? (out of curiosity) I may have to purchase a feeder soon then

I am not going to be in the house for 1 week over xmas and my normal "fish-sitter" is also away. I have been looking at various tablets and contraptions to feed the fish whilst im gone, but would like to ask what people think is the best thing to use? I have neon tetras, 2 congo tetras, 1...

Can anyone answer this question? I have had mixed reports (or miscommunicated ones) as to whether i have my carbon filter pad in at all times? Thanks.

My gourami seems to have had half its feeler bitten off, maybe snapped off. (but i have noticed a nip in his tail - possibly from a larger congo tetra) Will this affect the fish in anyway?

Sure, never thought of that! Either way, its a beautiful colour fish! Hope its just time and nothing more serious...

A new fish?

yeah the red dots. i have had him about 4 months. one appeared then another then another on the base of his tail... i have put some anti internal bacterial stuff in and did a water change last night. he sems to be eating ok. my nitrate was a little high as i was medicating another fish and didnt...

Can anyone tell me what these dots are? They havent always been there. Thanks.

took out all plants and things (1 castle)...nothing. looked for 1 hour last night, still nothing. Could the other fish have eaten him?

no way it could get in the filter. checked anyway, but nothing. thank you for your suggestion!

I "have" a neon that has been treated for pop-eye. Left the house for a few hours and it has disappeared! It isnt anywhere in my tank... Could my other fish have eaten it??? If not i need to get it out (if it is dead!!)

I added some new fish a few days ago, along with some melafix, now one of my neons has pop-eye and i want to treat it. Am i ok to treat it with the anti internal bacteria with the melafix still in the tank? Thanks.

Whats the best way to do it? Heard bad stuff about strips, seems a lot of hard work testing everything seperately so whats the best method? Is there such a thing as digital testing??

maybe a couple of days? there is a picture of the other one the day before it died on here somewhere, ill get it and post it on here.

it swims in various ways, it looks quite calm one minute then the next it darts around the tank for a few second then back to placid. seems to be eating ok. forgot to mention that this is only on one side of the fish, from the other side it looks normal...

NO3 is about 50mg/l NO2 is 0 GH >10 KH 3 pH 7.2 i did a 50 % water change 3 days ago oh, other fish are 2 gouramis, 1 plec, 1 oto, 7 neons, 2 congo tetras

I wrote on here a few weeks ago about one of my head and tail tetras being ill, fins discoloured and frayed - it died not so long after i asked for help. Problem is, i think my other tetra is going down the same road and am trying to do something before it dies. I have attached a picture, its...

One of my fish just died of dropsy, can i put some anti internal bacteria treatment in the tank to prevent any of the other fish getting it? One of my fish looks a little pale and fat!! Thanks for your help.
