I moved it into a different tank in case it was some illness and it seemed to be getting better! I followed a fish vets advise and gave it a pea Incase it was swim bladder problems but it was uninterested in any food and this morning it was dead! He was very skinny but bloated where it's neck...

Yes and all levels are fine tanks been up and running 18 weeks.

We have a figure 8 puffer ph/nitrates all fine! Temp is perfect, but he seemed really sad and now he's "dead" he's head Seems to heavy for his body and it's almost like he has no strength!

Hmmm ok. I will look into getting another tank for them and sorting out a brackish set up, thank you for your advise (the shop had them in fresh water and said that they would be fine, I also googled it and got roughly the same answers, but I will take what you said into advisement) they def...

Sorry, we have had all the fish (not puffers) 4/5 weeks

Had them 3 days, tank is 60g, there's 2 tiger barbs, 2 red tail sharks, the puffers (2), a med Plecoptera, a tiny Plecoptera and 2 coloured tetras. Oh and 2 platys

Yeah the puffers are great it's just the blue "tetra" it's being being a total *** lol x

Hi, she still hasn't dropped! Slightly worried! It's been nearly 3weeks since I last posted and god knows how far she was when we got her!! She won't stay still lol

Sorry coloured widow tetra

Blue widow is a coloured widow, the puffers are fine in freshwater they just live longer in brackish! 5/7 years fresh water and 10+ brackish. But thanks for your concern xx

Hi, we have 2 fresh water puffers (figure 8 and a spotted) Our blue widow (normally quite) has non stopped attacking them! There fins and tail are looking tatty! We put some shrimp in (which they all loved except the puffers) I don't want to get rid of the puffers but my widow is not playing...

Our 2 gourami are being very aggressive to all fish in the tank and have now attacked and pretty much killed our Molly (she couldn't swim away due to a broken fin) she is still 'alive' tail thrashing and good fin moves but she keeps floating upside down or completely sinking to the bottom! Also...

Ok! Brill thanks a lot for your help and advise it is greatly appreciated!!

We have ordered a nest box which is due to be delivered tomorrow! Do I just catch her and her mate and put them in there till she has them?! I don't really want to separate them as there really close. I will keep you in mind for rehoming of she has one that looks like her!

it's a little blurry but that's what I got so far I'll try and get a clearer one! Nicola and Paul

Ok thanks for your honesty! We only wanted them for cosmetic reason too. Plus my tiger barb love swimming threw them.

Oh and thank you for your kind welcome! X

Any recommendations? And don't mean to sound cheap but cheap is good ;) x

I was afraid you might say that! Thanks x

Hi guys, We have had fish for a while now but have just upgraded to a 68ltr tank and have gone for fresh water tropical fish. Today I brought an air pump and air stone but when it reaches about half way down the depth of the tank it stops working (I have removed the stone but the problem...
