API liquid Ammonia 0 Nitrate 0 Nitrite 10 Weekly 20% pwc No new fish or new plants in over 2 months. Tank been running for over 2 years Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I lost one of my adf. Found him like 2 days later literally hopping across my kitchen floor! Almost 20ft from tank. He must have gotten out the tiny hole at the back of the lid. He was very dehydrated but recovered remarkably well other than a fractured foot he had no lasting damage and is alive...

So after having a platy with a tumour I now have a guppy with a shredded tail. Water parameters fine and everyone else fine. He's eating and swimming fine and otherwise acting normally. I've just got back from a week away and all was fine when I left. I have noticed occasional bullying from the...

Was doing a pwc as usual. Never saw anything untoward. Was just tipping out the bucket and I noticed my cory baby! I've rescued him and put him back into the main tank. He seems ok. Has anyone else done this? Will he be ok? Also had a adf end up in the sink as he hitched a ride on the cleaning...

Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Bit clear pics. Actually 2 lumps. One above eye and one near back of her head Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Oh forgot to mention. All parameters normal, tank up and running over 2 years no problems. No new additions except surviving cory but he was born in the tank Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Not the best pic but this is a 2 year old platy. She has a black lump near her head. Kinda hard to see in the pic but it's like a protrusion of some sort. She is acting more skittish than usual and hiding a lot. Any ideas? Oh she's pregnant as well, but that's nothing new Sent from my iPhone...

So after many attempts to raise cory fry I gave up. Just glanced over at my community tank and noticed a 1.5cm cory baby swimming about! It has survived platys, guppys, adf's, corys and ottos (no threat from them but still!). I know my tank is heavily planted so it's obviously hidden well but...

I have 6 adf and 1 of them I think has broke his arm in an accident, about a year ago! He still holds it down to the side and never moves it but he's always been well in himself. They resilient little things Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Should be fine if you can get the flow. I have kept these fish but found them a bit boring and very stubborn! I didn't have a specific flow tank just powerful powerhead and air stones which they loved. They are pretty fish but they don't do much really, just sit in the flow of water. They were...

That will provide some much needed shelter. Maybe get like 4 more if you can. They really like company and produce very little waste. Other than that, likely cause of death was stress from move. Some more sensitive than others. Just make sure they get food and they will be happy Sent from my...

I'd suggest some more hiding places. Like a cave or something. They get very stressed if can't hide properly Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Have you got any caves or hiding places? They spend a lot of time under things and can get very skittish if nowhere to hide. Plants will be good when grown a bit Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

My tank. It's a 20g with 5 adf plus corys, ottos and platys. I'd say sand better than gravel, plenty of hiding places, leafy plants (they like to hide in, on or under), they eat sinking pellets, algae wafers, blood worms, brine shrimp. They like company so would recommend more than 3. They can...

Thanks. I'll try cutting back light and will get to lfs when it opens Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Not sure on light. It all came as one. It's on about 12 hours (probably my problem right there) it's a 20g. No fert or carbon source Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thanks. I'll take a trip to the shop on Monday Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

No I'm not. I have noticed my platys seem to be eating this? Is it worth just throwing the plant and getting a new one or is it salvageable? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

This stuff is on plant leaves and my cave. It's browny black. Looks fluffy is and stands out. Best pic I could get. Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 10ppm. Tank running almost 2 years. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

It will be just until they are big enough to go in community tank. Didn't want a breeder box as I find it hard to keep clean as everything goes to the bottom where I can't get it. Plus makes it difficult for my adf to get to surface. Thanks. I'll keep doing this then. Not bothered about the...

Don't know. My api ran out and not got new one yet. Don't know how long it takes for ammonia to accumulate? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have 3 few day old Cory fry in a large tupperware with a air tube with filter pad over the end (kinda a make shift filter). I'm doing twice daily 90% water changes. Feeding 3 4 times a day bit only a tint amount. Is this enough pwc to keep ammonia down? Don't want to cycle as they will be...

Only 3 have hatched. The rest appeared to have fungused. I placed them in a separate container for 48 hours after the first 3 hatched but nothing. Was so sad as you could see that a few if them had got to the wiggler stage but unfortunately they succumbed to the fungus. The 3 survivors appear...
