So I just wiped them off the glass and took a few out of the gravel and off a rock. It's been a couple of days now and I can't see any so with a bit of luck I won't see too many more.

The big white spiny thing is a plastic decoration. I call it the lily :) Peroxide doesn't sound good for fish to me. Won't it harm them?

That plant had all the holes in it when I bought it and I just didn't notice until it was in the tank. I've git rid of it now since it wasn't looking great and I wondered if it had contributed to my dying fish. I don't think that stuff on the leaf was hair algae though. We were away for two...

Is that anything to worry about? I've taken that leaf out now since I don't really want it to build up. I don't really have a lighting régime; some days it can be on for 12 hours and other days it doesn't go on at all. We just put the light on when we're I the room really.

Oh no it doesn't show up on that photo. I think the image might get compressed when you upload so here is a link to hopefully a clearer picture: Dropbox - File Deleted - Simplify your life I'm talking about the little spore-like things one one of the leaves near the top (the leaf is kind of...

I just noticed this sort of fungus or parasites or something on one of the plants in my tank. The plants have been in the tank for about 6 weeks and in that time I've lost all of my danios and minnows (x6 of each). I'm by no means certain that this stuff has anything to do with the deaths but I...

Turns out the rock wasn't limestone and the bloke in the shop said the pH was fine for the fish and it wouldn't have spiked between tests so I'm just going to give it 6 weeks then try adding a couple of fish; if they're ok after a month then I'll continue to slowly re-stock. I don't think I'm...

So my final minnow died on Sunday. I did a 30% water change and gave the gravel a thorough mix up to clean it out. I took all of the ornaments and plastic plants out and rinsed them under the tap in a washing up bowl (the one I always use for water changes and nothing else). I then filled the...

Mumma.of.two: I looked at this link on columnaris: http://freshaquarium.about.com/cs/disease/p/columnaris.htm The white spots, cottony growth and saddleback symptoms don't sound familiar and only one of the dead fish showed signs of fin damage. Rapid gilling and some sort of fungus does...

reicirith: pH reads 8.0 on my strips. I can't read ammonia but when I went into the shop they said it was fine so I assume it was basically zero. The new tank is a Juwel Korall (http://www.juwel-aquarium.co.uk/Products/Aquariums/Korall/Korall-60-UK-coldwater.html) and the old one was a Juwel...

I got a 30 litre tank in December 2012 and gradually stocked it with: 6 x danios 3 x minnows 3 x hillstream loach 2 x amano shrimp The tank is cold water (18-20 C). The first death was a loach about 3-4 months in, followed by another dead loach a couple of weeks later. I think they weren't...
