Re: Bucketless water change.
I use the same method as BigBen for water changes. I have a shepherd's crook on one end of the hose and pond pump on the other. When siphoning water out, pond pump goes in the tank, the crook hooks around the base of kitchen tap and keeps water directed into the sink. When that bit's done I swap the...

Re: Euthenasia?
Sorry you've been forced to make a decision, it's never easy. :( With the clove oil, if you put a couple of drops in before adding the fish, and then add the further drops until they pass, they do tend to panic less. You've kept them well though. Ian that method doesn’t actually work. Oil doesn’t m...

Re: Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year
Slightly belated Merry Christmas everyone! (or perhaps I'm rather early for next year ).

Re: Help!! Massively bloated Cory!
Just run the aquasky on manual mode and use a plug-in timer 😁 I've been doing that for 12 months, but unfortunately it is now only working about half the time when plugged in and switched on manually. ... The light hasn't worked with the app since this time last year, really. I was hoping to go to ...

Re: Help!! Massively bloated Cory!
plankton haven't a clue, I have a group of 8 in total but no idea of the sexes. This one was left from a previous group and is much larger than the others. I did a water change Tues but could do another small one with cooler water today... Aquasky ok again at the moment so at least it cam see what'...

Re: Help!! Massively bloated Cory!
So there is no improvement or change in the Cory after having starved the tank for a couple of days. I'm not sure it doesn't look worse now than it did on Tues. It's still swimming OK but looks just so bloated still. The other fish still look fine. It's still swimming quite fast and with the tank de...

Re: Help!! Massively bloated Cory!
Thanks @black ghost and @plankton. I'll starve the tank for a couple of days, assuming that won't be harmful for the other fish. Stupid Aquasky not working again today so I can't really see anything in the tank at all to see how it's doing.

Help!! Massively bloated Cory!
Hi, my Aquasky has just pinged on after a couple of days of not working at all. I've just seen that one of my Cory's - it was the largest one and has been in the tank for quite a while - is hugely bloated. It's almost like it is sitting on some sort of cushion like a hovercraft... 😳 it's either an o...
