Hey guys,

Moving into a house next year at uni instead of onsite so it means i can finally set myself a fish tank up while i'm there :) will only be a small set up, a 24inch (L) x 12inch (W) x...

*the increase of temperature just increases the speed of the life cycle of the parasite.

(correction in my previous post as i missed a few words out) :)

You need to get a treatment for Ich (might state it as white spot on some treatments), the increase of temperature just increases the life cycle of the parasite. Follow the treatment guidelines...

You could try New Era fish food, it is a good quality food and it's used widely in public aquariums (UK) as well as home aquariums. Here is a link to their goldfish flake...

A brilliant book that i've learnt a lot from is 'Sex, Color and Mate Choice In Guppies' by Anne E. Houde, it is a very scientific book referencing lots of scientific journals, a very good source for...

Don't turn off your filter unless absolutely necessary for example when cleaning it (which is very beneficial to the efficiency of the filter as long as it is done in dechlorinated water). Within 2...

Also if the 20 gallon fry ongrowing tank and the segmented breeding tank don't need to look pretty for display purposes it is best to leave them without a substrate, this would allow for easier...

Hi, Phisher,

I'm not sure from your second post what you are looking to do but this is how I would do it:

First i would get rid of any non-virgin females as you won't be able to tell who's...

The larger fry are very likely to push the smaller fry out of the food and therefore inhibiting their growth, feeding in numerous areas of the tank like Phisher said is probably the only way you...

It is definitely a Gammarus Shrimp, if you don't want them in your tank then they should be easy enough to net out and dispose of, they will breed rapidly if your water stays in good quality so make...

For substrate you can just use a simple substrate such as gravel or sand and then when you add your plants you can get your nutrients from something such as root tabs that you can push into the...

from what info is posted here it is sounded like general physical damage, a picture would most definitely help diagnose this though :)

however as far as a treatment, so far the salt will be very...

a stated already goldfish are known to eat pretty much anything if they get the chance but they arent going to chase your minnows around the tank like a predatory fish. I cnt see a problem with...

although you say your LFS doesnt stock some of the desired species it is highly likely that they can still get them from their supplier and only dont stock them as they arent easily sold, after...

ok thankyou for the advice guys, im heading home in the morning so ill have a good look for signs of damage and ill watch things closely :)

hi,
until the weekend wen i get bak home from uni i cnt assess this situation myself, however my dad has told me he is seeing aggression in my male pearl gourami during feed time. he is going out of...

are ur dwarf gouramis, 1 male and 1 female? someone correct me if im wrong but a male and female combination is fine and the fish dont show aggression towards each other

[QUOTE=Joonkun]+1
i dont know of any disease that "explodes" them open, although you may want to look around your tank for a little alien running around. if you find one, feel free to contact the...

i would look more at a pair of bolivian rams or german blue rams instead of kribs. Kribs can be fairly aggressive at times, especially in a 90 litre, the rams are non aggressive and slightly smaller...

looking good :) we need some pics of the whole tank now :)

personally for 2 small fantail goldfish i would say more along the lines of a 60-70 litre tank would be sufficiant aslong as it is filtered and has regular water changes i can see a 150 litre being...

hmm i have no idea then sorry, ill let some of the more experienced guys have a bash at this one :)

are u sure its not fungus, has it got a cotton wool appearance?

if ur keeping the fish in watever sized tank it is and u are happy tht ur fish are happy then stand by tht by not hiding info :) u will be more respected here for being open than hiding facts :)
