hi sorry for interupting your thread but thought id ask here

my bristle nose called suckafish has lost its tail fin he/she lives with guppy's and have no idea why he/she lost its tail fin im not sure if its to hot to cold or the guppy's are being aggressive or the poor thing got it's tail caught in a ornament or filter could i be scaring it when doing water changes? any other theory's thanks and again sorry to interrupt

My tank has been set up for nearly a year now. Maybe I just cant have BN

I have just started a new thread in the general breeding section about this problem. I would be interested in any reactions you have to it.

Hi Hannah,

I'm glad a couple of the wee blighters are doing ok. I wonder if it is a water issue as it seems really quick for them to die from something off the glass. The three I brought down for Mum and Dad are doing well, in a cold water goldfish tank!! I will be down in about a month again so can maybe try some more then? Let's hope the other two survive better.

Good luck,

Sam

Thanks for that. I have taken all of my stones out of the community tank and just have some fake plants in there, with a handful of stones for my 4 Kuhli loaches. It cant have been the wood in the tank as I placed that in my daughers tank and the little BN's LOVE it. Im not sure what I will do with the two little ones I still have as they will soon get too big for my daughters tank I too wonder about the water, but I use the same tap water and conditioners and stuff for all 3 of my tanks (although they are 90ltr, 28ltr and 38 ltr tanks). *shrugs* its so blimmin frustrating.
