Re: Traveling with fish

Polystyrene boxes you can buy online for around £17.00 or you could ask your LFS if they can supply one for you. Thank you, that is a great idea! try to individually bag the corys as they do secrete a toxin which will kill them if they are all dumped in the same bag. Do you have any other recommend...

I got the GH to 12 in December. Every time I am changing the water, I am adding GH plus to match the GH to 12.

I do not see how the water parameters are not good enough since I am compensating the GH in every water change.

Re: Sick swordtail

They're probably under stress. It may be that that they've come from poor stock. I have this fish for more than half a year now and she has never shown any signs of being stressed. Her behaviour changed only ever since I started observing white spots on her fins. It is 100l SuperFish Start aquarium...

Re: Sick swordtail

Are any of them looking lethargic? Despite being the dominant female in the tank, the black swordtail is hidding quite often ever since I increased the temperature. However, her body did not change and her feeding response is still the same. There is a detail on her tail fin. https://i.postimg.cc/Q...

Re: Galaxy Rasboras

I don't know the health of fish stock sold in The Netherlands, only in the UK, so it could be that Celestial Pearl Danios (there's no such thing as Galaxy Rasboras, it's a misname in shops) are a poor stock over there perhaps? It could be the case, I went there to look at the other fish in the tank...

Re: Galaxy Rasboras

OK, the black fish is a guppy which you hadn't mentioned. The guppy isnt there anymore, this photo is not up to date regarding stocking. It should be a refence for the decor and plants I have there. I think the plec may be an albino bristlenose if that is the tail in the "cave", that will...

Re: Galaxy Rasboras

It’s overstocked for a 25L tank and your fish may well be getting stressed because of that, or there might be some sort of infection going through them as suggested (on top of the stress). The problem is that I always consult all my decisions with the store I get my fish from, starting from tank ma...
