That's the beauty of a 400L tank... being able to have a community like that, well jealous but at the same time i'm just in admiration, everything looks well happy!

Lovely looking fish, healthy tank, love it. @Conort2

Got a reliable thermometer to double check your tanks temperature throughout the day on a weekend? is your heater overheating? i'm just going through all the things that have happened to me in the past right now... :lol: I know how you are feeling though, early days of the hobby i used to get...

Should be no worries with prime.... weird that! are you using anything collected or any "found" rocks in the tank? absolutely anything you can think of that might be putting something into the water column...

Could it be Chloramines? what kind of water do you use for water changes and how are you treating it? i always double dose my de-chlorinator and i fill up from just the cold tap around 40% of the tank volume dropping 2-3C in temp, and my fish are solid, however i don't keep anything too...

Tail looks distinctive and quite like nannostomus fry but i can't say for sure off a picture. What else do you have in the tank? process of elimination will give you the answer, look at pictures of the fry of every species you have in or have had in the tank, and whatever looks most similar will...

The Trop Co Bourne Valley Fish Farm Hamptons Road Hadlow Tonbridge Kent TN11 9RG worth the trip, they supply quite a lot of london shops wholesale.

I would just wait it out, without any host they will die off in a few weeks, i wouldn't want to kill anything else either.

Might have been posted before... my apologies if it has.

https://zebrafish.org/wiki/health/disease_manual/protozoan_diseases Some good reading here on protozoan diseases, myself i don't have much experience with it, but i've read it can remain in the water column for a while, and obviously anything that has eaten the fish is spreading it, i would...

Wholesale tropicals usually can get anything you want if you ask them to reserve or order it, apparently the fish is not bred commercially so i imagine most stock is wild caught, if you were to breed them it would be a real achievement for yourself. :)

Treat them like crayfish that you would eat yourself, flush with fresh water, either by drip method or by doing a few waterchanges a day on wherever you are storing them, this should ensure they don't have any nasties in their digestive system, also you can gut load them by feeding nutritious...

Firstly thanks for the replies and advice, i'm a bit overwhelmed but it's all good reading, i'll try to take it in. Secondly, this discus' prospects were pretty bad when i decided to take it on, so i think anything would be an improvement upon it's previous circumstances, especially getting...

So i have rescued a discus from a tank at work, it's definitely seen better days, very skinny, and looks a bit stunted, i wanted to give it the best chance so i asked the boss if i could take it home to try and put it right, first i'm going to be feeding it well, direct pipette feeding maybe...

In the past i have had otos slowly disappear when i wasn't feeding them something specifically, even though the tank had lots of diatoms and green dust algae, are you feeding any wafers at all? mine love the hikari algae wafers, i get all of them in one spot pretty religiously with those which...

Weird that, mine are always together, how many have you got?

Count in 2's and count fast, try to get an average over 5-10 counts, that is what zoo staff usually do if it's a hard animal to count.

I think it's settled, you're getting another tank @jameson_uk :hungry: :lol:

More black neons, more natural behaviour! :)

Wait and see is always the best plan from my point of view, i've got all the time in the world to see what any eggs are! :) :lol:

Hard to tell from the picture but looks like a sack of snail eggs, when my corydoras laid they were always groups of individual eggs on the glass for some reason.

Same but i use spinach leaves, i just gently tilt the bottle over 360 two times rather than shaking though.

Out of curiousity, what is your cultivation method? Cheers.

This is a lot cleaner than the dusting method. :)

You could try repashy powders if you don't want to culture baby brine shrimp it is an option but not a guarenteed alternative, there are studies going on at the moment in US colleges about feasibility of food substitutes due to price increases in brine shrimp eggs for ornamental fish breeding...

Loving the opinions guys you are all raising some great points. Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

Really appreciate you all taking the time to post and voice your opinions. :thumbup:

One thing i do hope becomes more common is better tracking and more information about where your fish comes from, right now very few places give propper information on the fish you are buying, some suppliers do clearly label wild from captive bred, and most shops i've been in are happy to answer...

As per title, just curious really, my general preference is captive bred for a number of reasons, but some species are only available wild caught so leaves you a bit limited as to choice, What about you guys? Cheers, Gus.

Poor little thing, hope he comes right Gill. :thumbup:

Golden white cloud mountain minnow.

you want the spraybars to cover the whole length of the back of the tank just under the waterline if possible, set the inlets up at either end that way they will pick up more detritus. venturis arent really a good idea as they create excess aeration which you are looking to avoid in a low tech...

ei is estimative index its a way of dosing the nutrients pottassium nitrate, potassium phosphate, and a chelated trace element mix into a tank (the powders i talked about before), easy carbo is not like any bio maturing product, its a carbon based additive for the growth of plants and its a...

basically you can add the media 'squeeze' as soon as you add the ammonia, as the product of the 'squeeze' is mainly bacteria that are made for the nitrogen cycle, ie nitrifying bacteria, they will live in the filter medium and convert ammonia to nitrite then to nitrate, in a conventional...

i use one large net 1 small net, use the large net as a static, and try to corral the fish into the large net using the small net to move them, then scoop it out sharpish, gotta have a LOT of patience too.
