    New betta and possible problems?

    I got a betta 3 days ago with penguin tetras to go in my tank with my neons and cardinals. Problem is, he hasn’t ate, to my knowledge! I have tried hakari micro pellets and sinking pellets, the tetras are enthusiastic and woof them down but the betta, when I throw the food in his direction...

    Fed up with fish keeping!!!! [emoji35]

    Couldn’t find my betta this morning! Searched the tank for him and couldn’t find him ( he’s usually the first to greet me) I decided to open the lid for a better look, and that’s when I found him and a neon tetra dead in the filter!! The parameters have been fine and the fish were fine the day...

    Betta keepers, where does yours sleep?

    Betta and feeding?

    I have just got a Betta fish and was wondering if he can eat what my cardinal and neons eat? I only feed them micro pellets, can I feed the Betta on just these or do I need Betta specific food for him?

    Primafix?

    I’ve recently put another post on her regarding my sick gourami! I went to the pet store and came out with primafix My question is, it says dose for 7 days without a water change, can I really go 7 days without a water change, the water already stinks to high heaven after 1 dose?

    Treating tank with aquarium salt, confused?

    Gravel depth and cleaning?

    Wanted to ask, what is generally a good depth of gravel in tanks that will be easy for cleaning? I have 60cm x 31cm base on my tank that did have about 3” of gravel (originally) and thought that when I was doing gravel cleans I was doing well because there wasn’t much waste ( 2x a week) it...

    Silly question about guppies?

    Can guppies billy a fish and chase it into the filter? It sounds silly but I can’t explain it! I had three guppies, two yellow ones ( the ones that constantly chase each other) and an orange one. The orange one was, or appeared completely healthy yesterday, but today was found dead in the...

    Swim bladder medication?

    I've now put my guppy in a bag inn the tank so I can medicate him (bag is around the hatchery box) and not the others. The medication is interpet swim bladder treatment, and says it's a 4 dose treatment to repeat on days 4,8&12. After the full course do a 30% water change! My question is, if he...

    What's wrong with my guppy?

    He's been like this for about 4 days now! I have just put him in the hatchery today to give him some rest. Tank = haven't checked parameters yet but, changed filter carbon whilst he was ill, so not the problem. I have done 10l water changes for two days, today a 13l water change. This will be...

    Canister filter problem

    I have the internet cf 1. The problem is that the water has started to run over the top of the filter pads. I have had them in just over 4 months and clean them in tank water once a month, I just cleaned them today and it hasn't changed anything. I also clean the whole outer and inner case and I...

    Feeding bloodworms with a floating cone?

    I decided to feed my neons and guppies the blood worm with a cone but it seems that they won't go near it! I thawed the blood worm in tank water first then put the cone in the tank stuck to the side of the tank with a sucker. They go nearish to it but won't feed, they are all healthy and ate the...

    Feeding guppies and neons

    I generally feed my neons and guppies once a day, my problem is that I'm not sure my neons are getting enough to eat! I feed micro pellets and just enough for them all. I don't want to put more in because either the guppies will get too much, or the feisty neons will get too much. There is a few...

    Guppies normal swimming behaviour

    I bought 4 male guppies today to go in my 64l tank with my neon tetras. They have been in there now for about 5 hours maybe more, and are staying at the top mainly! My question is, what is normal guppy behaviour and will they come down when more settled? I checked my tank parameters two days ago...

    Neon tetras and dwarf gourami compatibility?

    I was thinking of getting 2 dwarf gourami to add to my 64ltr tank that already has 10 neon tetras. I've just been told not to because the gourami will eat them, is this true? They are together in the shop but the neons in the shop are full size and some of mine are still quite small!

    Dwarf gourami quarantined?

    How long should you wait to buy fish that have previously been quarantined in a pet shop? They have been quarantined for just over a month and just come back on sale, I was going to wait about three weeks before buying them? Bearing in mind, I don't have a separate tank to put them in at first

    Neon stuck in filter

    Just found my neon in the filter, I'm not sure if I've damaged him when getting him out or he already was! He started swimming but then goes tail heavy and has jerky movements! Can he be in shock, will he get over it?
