HI guys and girls. I was thinking about asking santa for a UV steriliser for my 300l tank. What are the advantages of these and are they really worth the money. Can one do without one. (Managed so far)

Ok I am learning the hard way here. Late last month my JD laid loads of eggs which all hatched. After a few days they became free swimming. Now I also have an oscar in the tank who started to show an interest in a free meal. As a resualt he got a pounding so to restore peace In the tank I...

Whilst my insomnia keeps we awake I came down stairs to check on the fish and get a drink. I flicked the lights on and found all the fish laying on the bottom of the tank. Don't panic they seem fine now. However it led me to thinking do fish know the difference between day and night despite...

I folks. Today I have fallen in love. Not with a girl and not with a boy for that matter. Well it's hard to tell what sex this is. It's a spotted gar. I had to peel myself away from the fish shop as I was close to parting with £20. My fear is as follows. I am under the impression they get...

Have a 120 litre tank. It's cycling as we speak. I want to keep cold water gold fish in it but to be honest have never kept them before. Kept tropical fish for a few years so I think I know the basics. How many fish can I have and what's the best type to fit in the tank. Should I cycle the tank...

Hi guys. I have come home and fed my fish today. My young jack Dempsey has come out of his hiding spot and started to shake his very violently so much so that I could hear it. Is this normal? I checked him out and can't see what is wrong. It's almost the same way a dog shakes there heads...

Have a large Oscar and a Synspilum in my tank. The Synspilum is new and I have had the Oscar several months now. When I put them together I was expecting some large fights at least until they settled a bit. To try and negate this I changed the tank decor around. It appears I was wrong. In...

My platy seems to have a odd growth on its back near is tail fin. There are no symptoms other then the lump. He is a keen feeder and spends his days breeding with anything that he can. I don't mind having a deformed fish as long he is ok and won't risk his tank mates. Please advise.

Can someone help. One of my local fish shops is a terrible place. I have been in there a few times and to be honest brought a few fish to rescue them from the lives they were living. I called up yesterday to see if they had any neons. The lady who worked in the shop told me that the tank of...

Was doing a PWC yesterday and my albino cory decided to try and swim up the pipe. This ill fated ack led him to get stuck in the pipe with his tail hanging out. The fish was remarkably calm about this predicament that he found himself in, wich is more then I can say about me. In my panic half...
