I'm about to go on holiday for a week, flight leaves in less than 12 hours and no shops are open.i was doing a large water change/filter clean but the red clamp for my fluval 307 has broken. What can i do to keep the fish alive. is there any way to fix the filter without any parts. Ie tape if i...

It's possible, it hasn't seemed to bother my fish and one of my other rainbowfish has a similar issue, i slightly wonder if it's just missing scales as they were sold as mature adults by a staff member of my lfs I am told so I think it's possible they were the "rejected" few

I recently have noticed a weird lump on the side of one of my rainbowfish . Had the fish for 5months with no drastic tank changes except some Blackbeard algae that I have tried to treat with seachem flouresh excel-what everything I have found online tells me to use(if there is a better way...

Looks like swim bladder to me

This is not an emergency I don't think but one of my rainbowfish has a small hole missing from his dorsal fin and a brown lump over one or two of his scales. I have the odd scale missing on both from before purchase but this is new. Had the fish for 5 or 6 months before. Any help welcome...

Rams aren't really territorial at least in my experience

Bosmanis do get big but unless you buy them as adults it might take them time to grow to that size they are very active but I have never had an issue with them and my angelfish-granted the angelfish is smaller so unlikely to cause any harm but if it's 55 us gallons not U.K. gallons I think the...

I know and most times I do that and never have to prime but since I removed the pipes to clean muck stuck in it reducing the flow and so there was no water in the pipes meaning now flow in the filter

You can collect stones from your neighbourhood but be sure to follow the steps online to clean it Fish wise look online and you can find people who are needing to get rid of theirs due to moving or accidental breeding. Same for equipments. Also the king of diy on YouTube has a simple surface...

It's possible then that the silicone is maybe not the best quality if it's from petsmart

I agree that it's not ich . The fish also looks to have some sort of bloom of fungas growing from its fin. Never heard of the epistylis but it seems like PWilly knows what it is

Fluval 307 completley full with water and I even filled all the pipes too the primer i think had worked but I flipped the intake and outtake after I reassembled it such a simple error took 2 days to fix.

I agree it looks fine but keep an eye on it

Its probably a damaged swim bladder which is tricky to heal. The only one desperate way I know wouldn't work on such a small fish as it requires draining the swim bladder I know you. Can bath them in something but not sure what it is

I would recomend using a liquid treatment, at least that's worked perfect for me . Takes a week and should kill any ich in the tank pretty easily
