How do you get rid of fish tb? Are there any treatments out there?

No we cannot see her bones, thanks for the worm suggestion though, I will look that up in a minute. Her belly is flat rather than rounded how it used to be.

Hi there I think Jeff the armoured shrimp might be shedding his skin but not sure. He has come out of his home which is rare during daylight hours and is just not moving. He has a couple of white spots on him and his skin is going wrinkly. Is this normal when they shed? Any thoughts would be...

I have a male Molly with a white patch on his head. Recently he has been acting lethargic and resting a lot. He does eat. His behaviour is out of character and until a couple of days ago his fins stuck out. He is eating but hiding when there's no food. I have some pics but don't think they will...

Got a 3g (UK) nano tank as a present what's the best stock when cycled? Any ideas would be appreciated

Done a 20% water change this evening after testing and posting on forum just as a matter of course, the new media was left to soak in the "dirty" water from the water change on Saturday for 24 hours. New sponges squeezed and soaked as well. Water test kit is a Hagen liquid test kit (nutrafin)...

Ok so here's what's happened. Yesterday I replaced my external filter but left the internal filter in place. Tank is a 125 litre with a fluval u3 internal and now a fluval 306 external. I put the bio noodles from my old ext in the new one and left the internal in place. Molly's are just hanging...

I'm doing something similar at the moment, have just bought a fluval 306 to replace the aquis500 I had, I too am running a fluval u3 at the same time I will be leaving it about four weeks til I remove it.

Thanks for all the advice, I have bought a fluval 306 and have the new media in soak in the dirty water from the water change earlier. Hope to fit it tomorrow :-)

I have been using an aqua clear aquis 500 but have noticed that is isn't working as well as it used to. I got it second hand with the tank when I bought it from eBay. I have a fluval internal filter the u3 that has been brilliant.

What's the best external canister filter for a 125 litre in the UK?

Will fancy goldfish be ok in a tropical tank?

Hi there from reading you're other posts it sounds like you may be experiencing a mini cycle by changing your filter half way through (I did exactly the same). Don't panic the new external filter will seed soon enough as it sounds like you have done enough to help it along. The only thing I...

Any chance of a picture?

Have Molly fry in the tank 3 at a month old and 2 at a week old. I will cut the light time down. The algae is brown and there is some green just starting on the filter housing. I'm going to get a phosates tea bag from lfs at the weekend but just wondered what else I could put I'm there to...

Feeding fry flakes twice daily. Lighting schedule is about nine to ten hours a day.
