Morning all I am shifting in about three months and have a 160L tropical tank and fish to move. How is the best way to plan for this. Is there any web-sites or stuff I can get to make this shift as stress free for the fish and me as possible. Any ideas or information directed too will be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot :dunno:

OK, Enough Have just been doing a water change and a penguin Tetra has just floated to the top.. GGRRRR Confused now, Ammonia PH and Nitrate all looking good Temp good and cats safely watch from outside. Really hoping that is it, any more ideas all appreciated will get some more hiding places for the Bristle noses. We may lack hideing places. Have a great new year all Cheers :digH:

This Bristle nose had passed away this morning. :digH:

Morning all. The End of the year for one of my Bristle nose fish has ended badly. This bristle nose has over the last couple of weeks started losing I think her colour as this fish was rather medium in size compared to my other bigger ones and had no whiskers and had started getting real pale. Does anyone have an idea why this may have happened, I do weekly water changes and all other fish in 160litre tank look fine including about 6 other bristle nose, 11 tetras, 1 rainbow, 2 dwarf and 3 loaches. Will do water tests and water change today. Any ideas what happened and how I can prevent this happening again in the future. Thanks so much. :smot:

Ok, back with the easy questions for some but I struggle, My orange gourami more rounded fin, as I read some where looks like she has like swallowed a marble, this I first noticed a couple of days ago, she has had the major runs, like the longest poo ever but clear, she has looked fine apart from those signs up into tonight. Tonight well she swimming on an angle and just found her laying on the bottom of tank on her side, now she is in weed, to me she aint looking to good at all. All tank specs are good. Any ideas. Cheers

Standard Vacuum gravel and wipe down of glass,, but the filter did chuck out some black as dust for twenty odd seconds and hung round for a few minutes, I changed filter contents tonite also, so thinking that may have been the cause. Cheers

Hi All, The Novice fish-keeper is back,, Have had my 160Litre tank humming really really well for years, with weekly to fortnitely cleans and PH , Ammonia and Nitrate always with good readings. Until today I woke to one of my red eye tetras dead at the bottom of the tank and my PH Level as high as a kite 8.4- 8.8, ammonia and nitrate still fine. My question is what would make the PH sky rocket, I did a clean last week-end and all seemed fine have added to fish Dwarf Gourami'sthe day after clean. What makes PH spike? have done a water change tonite and will check again tomorrow. Any ideas on why my PH may have spiked will be greatly appreciated. Cheers :dunno:
