Thanks very much for all your help! Sounds like I need to slowly replace this filter media, get another filter, and perform more frequent water changes to get past this! Thanks so much for all your help!

Thanks candiceg. I'm actually due to receive all new filter media tomorrow in the post. Should I replace all at once or would that mean that the filter would go back to being uncycled? If I should separate the media change in any way, given my water results, what should be the order that I...

Thanks! So what is my NO3 per million? The scale is only mg/ml.... No ammonia test included in the kit :-( Only did a 50% water change on Sunday just gone.

Thanks mumma. I went out and bought a water test kit. Results below: CL2 (mg/ml) = 0 pH = 8 KH= 15d GH = 16d NO2 (mg/ml) = 0 NO3 (mg/ml) = 50 Does this look ok to you??

Hi mumma, I took a video tonight, Li k below and I found 5 times in 1 minute, what do you think? I've also added a pic of one with what might be white patches but could also just be natural coloration.... No other symptoms to report tho

Also to add that I have 1 fluval 405 filter (looking to get another) and I do weekly 50% water changes

Hi all. I have a 300l aquarium with ocean rock and coral sand, and approximately 20 various cichlids. I've noticed that they are pretty much all rubbing themselves on the coral recently when they don't know I can see them. When they can see me they don't really do this as they just come to...

Thanks mogurako. That makes a lot of sense, for months I was using 2 bright daylight bulbs as they cam with the tank. Have now replaced with 1 marine day and 1 marine blue and the colours are much better on all the fish. Awaiting reflectors too. I also have a black and blue reversable...

Wow they look great, do you have the scientific name for both of them so I can order some? I've actually got a red empress (see my other post), his colours were kind of like yours when I got him but have since faired massively (see pics in ny other post),.... From reading on forums its either...

I have a 300l tanks that I'm looking to add around 10-15 cichlids to. I'd really like to get the most colourful and vibrant cichlids. Can anyone recomend any please? Thanks

Thanks guys! The water quality is good as I have it tested regularly so it must be something else, maybe stress as Andrew said. @Andrew I don't have another tank so can't try that unfortunately. No I know its a red emprrss though I've had a Google and it actually looks a lot like a female...

Thanks Dallas,I got some medecine a few days ago now after your help. 5 more days and I can do another dose. The rotten part of his lip has now dropped of so looks slightly better,I just hope the medicTion works and prevents anything further.

Hi all,2 questions I hope you can help with. 1: what is the name of this cichlid? 2: why has it lost its colour and how can I get it back? I've attached 2 pics, 1 from when I first bought it and the second from a few days ago, as you can see there is a marked loss of colour. I do regular...

Thanks Andrew, I'll try and get good individual shots tonight and add here. Thanks very much for your help!

Thanks Dallas, could you tell me what anti par is? I'll have to go to a pet shopping the Uk so bay brand names or example links you can give would be very helpful. Do you have any idea what this is?

Hi all, this is my first cichlid tank, a 300l juwel. Can anyone I'd this fish I have please?

Hi all. Can anyone help diagnose my shark and suggest treatment please? I have a fluval edge which the sharks are now too big for and I'll be moving them out as soon as the 1 is better, the tank also houses 1 shark, 2 neons, 3 peacock gobys and 3 guppies. The shark started off with red on one...
