Hello, one of my leopard danios became quite bloated yesterday evening and this morning I found him dead, I have taken some pictures and I hope that someone can help me out with a diagnosis was it dropsy? Do I need to worry about the other fish? It happened pretty quickly, parameters are 0...

So that's it, I have removed the last of the cherry barb bodies that was 7 in 3 days gone. I will get my daughter to do a big water change tomorrow,and give it all a really good clean! I will give it a couple of weeks to settle down again and think about some more, thankfully the danios and...

We have had an awful day here today, 3 more cherry barbs have lost their fight against whatever this is. One I found already dead, the other 2 were in a bad way but still alive whilst the danios were already taking bites out of them, so we were planning to euthanize them, but even just lifting...

Thanks and I really hope so! Lets hope the sterazin works some magic Sent from my LG-D802 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

It doesn't give any instructions as to gravel vacs or water changes. It is a 10 day course of medication but I don't think I would want to leave it that long before a water change, so I may do just a small one so that I can do a bit of a gravel clean. We have lost another one today, it was one...

Hi Delapool, the sterazin has arrived, the ingredients listed are acriflavine, malachite green, piperazine citrate and formaldehyde as a stabiliser. It days on the bottle treats internal worms and that it is a parasiticide. Lets hope for the best! Sent from my LG-D802 using Aquarium Advice...

So we are still waiting for the medicine to arrive, it is due tomorrow. Unfortunately the really poorly barb has lost his fight against whatever this is. Thankfully I have managed to remove his body before the others ate him. The other barbs are all starting to lose their colour now, we have 8...

The tank in the shop looked really clean, the guys in there have always seemed very knowledgeable. I have ordered some sterazin, we can't seem to get metro in the UK. Hopefully it will arrive and make a difference before it's too late Sent from my LG-D802 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So the cherry babe that has been poorly seems to be losing weight, I don't think we have seen him eat ever, we have had him two weeks now. We hoovered and did a water change yesterday and parameters are Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 20 He seems to be really struggling to swim now and just sort of...

Well I have just come home and noticed some bones in the tank, which I have now removed. I must assume it's one of the sick cherry barbs as everyone else seems present and correct. The other poorly one is still just hovering around. Shows no interest in anything, he had another very thin...

One has quite a good belly size but the other is really quite skinny, we only have plastic plants in the tank, as my daughter is a complete beginner. She will try them on some frozen food today, mind you they have to be quick as the others don't let the food stay around too long! Sent from my...

Any advice greatly received, my daughter has set up her own 125 litre tank. She fishless cycled it, it now has 6 leopard danios and 5 zebra danios which were put in over a month ago, they are happy. Over a week later she got 6 cherry barbs and 6 green neon raspboras. The raspboras are happy...

Hi, I think it was about 5.5ml of ammonia that we added to get it up to 4ppm, I googled ammonia calculater, which asked me to enter the tank volume, the strength of the ammonia we were using and what ppm we required and it worked it out for us. Sent from my LG-D802 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I think we are nearly there, this morning when we tested nitrites there were still lots but 12 hours later we are at 0!! We will do a 24 hour test and hope for the best! Thanks to everybody who has posted Sent from my LG-D802 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thanks we just need to wait for the nitrites to go down then. Is there anything we can do to speed it up? Or is it just a waiting game? Sent from my LG-D802 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yes, it's the nitrIte we can't get to lower at the moment, We will just keep going as we are and hope! Sent from my LG-D802 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Many thanks for this, should she keep dosing with ammonia?

Many thanks, will do that and see what happens.

HI Everybody, I would really appreciate any help you can give me. My daughter has saved up for her own 125litre tank which she is fishless cycling, however she is now becoming impatient and I would like to know that we are heading along the right lines. She is able to dose up to 4ppm...

My daughter has bought her own 125l tank and has started fishless cycling, however she is now becoming impatient and I would like to know that we are heading along the right lines. She is able to dose up to 4ppm ammonia and have that gone by the following day, nitrites however are not dropping...
