I wish I had quarantined my plants - found loads of small snails in my tank. They don't seem to be causing any harm though. Removed a few but I know there is at least one left. Should I leave it or remove it?

Shelly, and anyone else - so fat I have left the med in, turned the temp back to normal and done normal water changes. Should I be putting the carbon pads in to soak up anymore med?

You were right! I raised temp and slowly they got better. No ich at all now!

I guys, sorry I haven't been on for a bit but had a flu like bug! I'm pretty sure my fish have ich. Small salt granule white spots (most noticeable on fins and tail) I've been treating with waterlife protazin and am on day four of the course, but the ich seems to be getting worse! Also the...

All other fish seem fine

It was api liquid test 48l tank about 4-5 weeks Last wc was a week ago and I did 20% (did one again after I noticed he died) Nitrites was approx 0.15 (between 0 and .25) Haven't done nitrates but will do it shortly. There are 3 platys, 4 corys, 9 neons. This is my first tank so I'm pretty...

No api liquid test. I checked the water I use to change and omg - there is about 0.15 of ammonia! I use tap water and put api stress coat in. What should I do? I just lost my ancistrus 20 mins ago! So you think this could be related? He always hides and this morning I noticed he came down to...

Regardless of water changes, etc it just won't budge. Constantly at 0.25. All fish are accounted for. What could this be?

Thank you. Will try at feeding time later!

My tank has the three platys, nine neons, four cories and an ansistrus. How many peas do you reckon? Thank you all for the great advice

I usually fast them in tues. so if their bellies are down now should I give it still today or wait till the mon?

Also, if so are frozen peas ok?

Woke up this morning and their bellies are back to normal size this morning! Unbelievable! Should I still give them the peas?

Cool! Thank you I will go out first thing to get some peas! So you think that's what it is? Too much food stuffed in there?

So should I feed them that tomorrow or fast them first?

Thawed it out in some tank water

Hi, Today I fed my fish their first frozen food and think I fed the way too much. My neons and corys look fine but my male and two female platys have not got huge round bellies. No signs (yet) of protruding scales and they are still happily swimming as normal. Am I right in thinking they've...

Today he's back to normal with the rest

No - just got my cam phone and it can't get him

Just to add he seems the smallest amount less colourful but that may be because I'm trying to find something

Hi, I have nine neons. 8 are happily swimming and schooling. But one won't come out from hiding under some plants away from the others. From what I can see of him there doesn't seem to be much physically wrong with him. Help!

My fish are very happy and healthy. But two questions here: Firstly, how can I prevent ich? I've read a lot of what you guys have posted and want to avoid if poss. Secondly, my tank is planted and all dish have scales. What would be the best treatment if this did strike?

Just removed a plant today - not sure what it's called but similar in build to cabomba but the leaves create like an umbrella. Anyway I removed it because it kept making an awful mess. Bits constantly fell off, floated around and covered the inflows of the internal filter. Should I turn the...

I visited one of my lfs today. The guy there told me two things when I asked questions: Firstly, when I told him I had just got a qt/hospital tank he told me I didn't really need to quarantine fish brought from there as they already quarantine them for 2 weeks before selling. And moving them...
