I was worried when I read your post as I had a blue gourami who had a similar attack - on his side, then upside down, the spinning around like crazy, then divin around the tank - he wouldcalm doen for a while - maybe 3 - 4 hours, then start again - it went on for 2 days and then I came home to...

Sounds like I am gonna be fighting this for a while - it didn't start on the mopani, and this has been removed, scrubbed in boiling water and put back - to no avail; we first noticed it on the sucker thing, then the plants, now I can see little bits coming through the input pipe holes so it must...

I guess it does look fluffy, but it is unsightly as there is just so much of it!

Got to ask - why are you painting the back and sides? What happens when you move the tank and you can't see in from the sides? Won't that stop light getting to youtr plants and fish? Confused, don't understand why you would want to paint the sides!

I can't photograph it - my 'phone/camera just can't get a decent image, I have tried for about an hour to get one that actually shows the **** stuff - - however it looks like a fungus, but it is on the wood, plants, suckers etc - it hasn't clogged the substrate like hair algae does though. It is...

No, no snails in this one and these are BIG cobwebs!

:help: I have a 66g 24x18x48" tank - it has what can only be described as cobwebs on the plants, rocks, mopani and even the suckers that stick the heater to the galss - it is a white colour, its is not gery or brown, so I have ruled out hair algea, altough I did initially treat for that and I...

Thanks guys - another 3 inches then! Wow they will be BIG babies!

I think my clowns must be vegetarian....I had snails ocme in on a plant - the tank was overrun ith them, the clowns ignore them......I crush daily, (The Angel fish and Rainbows queue up for them once they are crushed!)and when I water change the funnell is teeming as is the substrate, the...

This sounds awful, but thank goodness - I have recently had the same problem, listless, gasping, hiding, not feeding......took about a wekk or so and then suddenly he was swiming around with the the others as normal - he is a little paler than them at the moment, but at least I know it wasn't...

I have two sedontis eruptus catfish - they are huge and gorgeous, however at around 6" in length and about 3" girth (female) just how big are my babies going to grow? Any clues please? Can't find anything in the forums or on Google!

Depends on the fish I guess; my loaches and Hoplo Catfish dig in the substrate and it is natural for them to do so, so they would be in 'un-natural' environments if there were none! Also I have Kribensis, and part of their mating routine is for him to 'dig' a cave for her......nothing to dig...

Thanks for that, i'll stop worrying now :)

I have three goldfish in a 100 litre tank, they are all active and seem well and happy; All around 15months old and growing well, however one of them who used to be bright orange has turned more silver than orange - it has an orange 'frill' left on the top of the body (head to tail) and then the...

WE have an issue with a computer at the moment that the manufacturers said was a 'microsoft issue' - my husband said rubbish! (or words to at effect!) - we are unable to load ANY software on our new dual core machine - Vista diagnosed a processor error/fault ad the promptly shut down....we are...

APi kits Hi, yes LFS or LSF (local fish store etc) and yes your nitrite and Ammonia should be 0, your nitrate should be roughly 20ppm (my kit actually reads down to 0, then up to 0.5, 1, 5, 10 etc - my API kit (british market) states that my reading should be no more than 5 on their scale, and...

Goldfish? You mean, coldwater goldfish? I was told I couldn't put my goldfish in a tropical tank! How long have you had them int he tank with tropicals and at what temperature please? I have 4 extremely large goldfish that I am considering selling/giving away as they are getting too big for...

I would quarantine to be on the safe side and treat with a bacterial medication; because it is a raised round lump I would look at infections before flesh wound, it is too perfect to be as a result of running into a rock/ornament or fighting etc.

we have moved to Vista, and had no problems - no crashes, etc. My other half is a software architect, so he has to have the new platforms to develope against, and he actually LIKES Vista....that is unusual, as he usually conplains about OS until at least service pack 2 arrives! Perhaps it is...

s: I looked at the link you sent, but the test kit you need is not shown there; the brand is API, and it has bottles and test tubes to test for Nitrite, Ammonia, Nitate, PH and High range Ph - do a search for it, you may have to buy online in your area? I was also wondering where you got your...
