Ye, I did download it appreciate the link for it, thanks.

I was reading about the best way to do it and have euthanized it with freezing water. I just used a small container, net and gloves that I will just throw out. Thanks for your help.

I had posted some images but they aren't showing for whatever reason. Looking through those charts, I think the likeliest issue unfortunately is tuberculosis.

I have just seen that, and am going through it, appreciate the response. I will report back with findings and further questions if I have any. Thanks

Hi, I have a gold barb that is struggling at the moment. It seems to be breathing heavy and swimming somewhat slowly around the tank and it's body looks slightly bent. it has been like this for around 5-7 days I would say. It also has a white string hanging from it. Around 6 weeks ago one of the...

Just an update on this, I removed the floating plants and the wood that was growing something on it and started feeding less than I was and its already clearing up and looking a lot better than it was so something out of those has worked. Thanks all for the help.

Ye I'm actually doing something similar but with the turkey baster, attached that to the hose with an elastic band blowing into the substrate and then sucking out what comes up basically. Another thing what came to mind is I have floating plants and some of them don't look great so if they are...

It is tropica aquarium soil.

Just another question around this. If I disturb the soil in the tank is it likely to release ammonia? The way I have been trying to clean that is just using a siphon and a turkey baster by disturbing it slightly and then siphoning out what I can, but I was thinking maybe this is also causing an...

The fishless cycle was fine, I didn't have any issues with it got to the point where the ammonia was being cleared in less than 24 hours and added fish. The water was clear, I didn't have any haze and haven't had the debris issues up until the last 10-14 days I would say. I haven't added...

Thanks for the help also, Colin. The only things I put in the water is seachem prime when doing water changes and I was putting in leaf zone plant fertilizer once a week. Here is an image of the water report, looks like they use chlorine. I have been removing and washing the sponge on the...

Thanks for the help so if the bio filter isn't cycling out the ammonia quick enough is it a case of just cleaning it up and rinsing with with used tank water or is there something else I should be doing with it? It is more of a white haze across most of the tank than particles but there are...

Hi guys, recently having a few issues with the tank and had some questions about my filtration. Over the last couple of week the tank has had a lot of small debris floating around the tank and I cant seem to get rid of it after doing water changes, using gravel vac etc. Yesterday I added bio...

Thanks all for the in depth input and advice, it's much appreciated. I will figure out what I want to do based on that info going forward, looks like I will be swapping out some fish. Thanks again.

Ok, I have seen GH for the mollies range from 6+ to 12+ after looking so what would you suggest? If I increased the GH to the liking of the mollies for the long term how would that affect the gold barbs? As the tank is at the moment what would you recommend doing? Removing all angels? Thanks...

Tank Dimensions are - 81,2 x 40,2 x 56 cm The problem at the moment at least is that the biggest one which seems ok with the black angel is just chasing everything in sight around the tank since posting this. The PH of the water in the tank is 7 using the API test kit and the KH and GH are...

I'm from Burnley. The biggest one is also now chasing some of the mollies around every now and then. I will keep an eye on them as suggested but obviously don't want any of the fish getting stressed or injured.

Ok thanks for the input so what would your recommendations be? Just take 1 back to the store if that's even possible at this point or remove 2 and leave 1 in there? If so how well would one do as a solo angel? Or is even removing all 3 the best. The one that is being bullied has just always been...

Hi, I've had 3 angelfish in my tank (150 litres) along with some gold barbs and mollies for about a month now and I just wanted a bit of advice with the angels. I have tried sexing them myself but I'm not really sure at all so I will attach some photos and hopefully you can help me with that...

I can't help diagnose the issue you are having but I just wanted to comment because I was told on this forum a few days ago that the ingredients in liquid CO2 are toxic to fish. Post #4 in this thread https://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/hi-fishless-cycle-question-380980.html

Yes its the same for me, I had an issue this afternoon also where my forum posts were going through then disappearing a few mins later and it took 4 or 5 posts for it to stay in my thread, not sure if those issues are linked.

Just filling them with hot water, shaking them up and down to clean and then rinsing them off.

When I test it on the same day it is always a different tube. I suppose I could have chosen the same tube when I retest it on a different day but I would expect that at least once or twice it has happened it would have been a different tube. I don't always use the same tube for PH, same tube for...

Different tube

It was a one off for there being 4 different colours, but over the past week or so the dark blue has happened a few times before me redoing it and it going back to what looked normal which was the 6 that it had been consistently at.
