Hi All, Several of my fish are repeatedly flashing. All the water stats are fine. I reluctantly decided to treat my main tank (as too many fish affected to use my small quarantine tank). I'm using Aquacare Anti parasite (active ingredients copper sulphate & formalin). The packaging said it...

Thanks - I'll try that and see if it helps

Hi Everyone, Any suggestions as to what might be wrong with my guppy? He's stopped swimming with the other guppies and seems to have developed a strange shaped belly (see photo). He's still eating, but is generally staying out of the way towards the top of the tank (though he's not gasping at...

Many thanks for the responses. Fingers crossed it's not Neon Tetra Disease, only time will tell on that one. I shall give the salt treatment a go - I imagine it will be less stressful for my fish.

Thank you ever so much for your advice it's very much appreciated.

I've used three different stores in my region. The second two of which I chose because of their good reputations. I never used my local one as the fish and tanks didn't look well enough cared for.

Many thanks for your prompt response! I do a weekly 20% water change using a gravel syphon and replace the water with tap water (at same temperature) treated with prime. There are two sponges and two carbon filters. I rinse out one sponge in the old water one week and the other the next. I...

Hello! I've have had my aquarium for over a year now, but I still seem manage to kill off a fish every few weeks. I know in the beginning I was too naive about everything, but now I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I had a good streak over the summer where all was well for about 3 months, but...
