Thankyou, I think it’s time to rehome him because I wouldn’t trust him with my other fish. My plan was to move my polar parrot into his tank when it’s bigger and switch out my female that died

Hi Unfortunately I think my golden saum had attacked my myrnae female that had been living with him for over a year, I didn’t see it but the marks on her were too big to be the mouths of baby fish in there or my keyhole cichlid (male) and/or female convict. I’m quite disheartened because she was...

Thankyou :) I’ve been doing darkness too as that’s when she most improved so I’ll continue what I’m doing for hiya , I’m based in the UK , esha is a brand that’s more “fish friendly” but yes I’d used esha exit which is for white spot. I’ve got sand substrate in this particular tank so I can’t...

Hi I’m wondering if anyone can offer advice on fish recovery. I have one of my T-bar females that seemed to get hit the hardest by a bout of white spot. The whole tank has been treated and I kept her near the surface in a separation cube (to give her the best chance). My other fish are fine...

They’re really starting to colour up :) I’ve added another female though because there are a couple of males that won’t let each others tails grow they test their pecking order a lot!. This is a 4ft tank but slightly more height than my other tank as these guys prefer that section of the water...

I really love the Congo tetra such an under rated fish , I keep 6 males 6 females atm

Thankyou

Hi , My female convict has an injury from fighting in a new tank while everyone was establishing hierarchy. She has what looks like an infected base , I started to treat with esha product and stopped when it seemed to be healing however it’s not clearing up and appears to have got bigger. Does...

Hi I have a female convict who has been establishing herself in the hierarchy of one of my tanks. I’ve been monitoring her and I’ve noticed that she has a swollen pectoral fin (from fighting) today it must have happened in the last day or so as I would have noticed. i am about to do a water...

Ahh, That could be it too I removed their fry because they weren’t intentional ( I thought I had a male electric blue which obviously wasn’t the case!) and it seems views on hybrids are very mixed. Luckily I don’t have to do much maintenance within the tank too often. I might net him next time I...

Thank you . What I’m curious about in particular is whether taking the female away from him will tone it down because he never used to bite before he paired. Now it’s every time I put my hand in the tank and given he’s not yet fully grown and drawing blood isn’t good

Hi, I’m just wondering if anyone else has this problem. My saum has started to attack my hand every time I enter the tank to clean it regardless of whether it was spawning or not. I have split up the pair that have formed but is this aggression likely to subside now he’s discovered he can...

Thanks guys , the saum has started to put on size but I couldn’t be sure as the dorsal looked more rounded to me. I’ll keep an eye on them and possibly move my electric in with my blue acara in my other tank. They are the only types of fish in the ones I’m keeping currently which like to inhabit...

Hi does anyone know if there’s a way to attach a video to thread posts? If so could you let me know I’d like anyone’s opinion who keeps these two particular fish. Both of my fish either spend the day together sitting or swimming next to each other or they display what looks like dominance/or...

I’ve just googled that and it does look like one Thanks - do they just hitchhike in on plants I’m assuming , I’ll do some research to see if I need to check for more If I did miss this one on defrosting the fish didn’t like the look of it .... I feed with a spatula so that’s why I ruled out food
