I think we've found your problem! With the filter turned off for so long, the bacteria would have died and now your tank is re-cycling. In which case it would be ammonia and you'll need to do much more frequent water changes for a few weeks otherwise all of your fish will start to show similar symptoms :nilly:

That sounds okay. I'd do a 25% water change now to see if it helps. Hopefully someone knows what else it could be :dunno:

Poor wee fishy! Keeping up with water changes? Red gills usually mean ammonia issues :smln:

Wow! That looks awesome! They look so good in a large school! :love:

:smln: indeed haha, pretty sure the librarians all know me as 'the nerdy girl thats always picking up animal books' :lol:

I pretty much requested every aquarium related book they have :slfg:

Thanks Joe! Never thought any of my tanks would be !drool: worthy :lol: Yeap, this is the 165L. They've been digging around hunting baby snails and they nibble on the nurafin tablets I feed my other bottom dwellers, very cute! What do you feed your Sophia? After hearing about your poor loach passing I was super careful to pick nice plump ones, allthough they all looked nice and healthy I'm not sure if I'll keep them in this tank, they get kinda lost so I'm tempted to move them to my 34L in a few weeks. Will they be more comfortable in a smaller tank?

Way ahead of you, ordered it yesterday :happy2:

Way ahead of you! Put them up last night :happy2: http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=54008

Thanks guys! Just went on a big requesting spree on the library website :happy2:

So being off work for 6 months due to my wrist is driving me nuts, I am SO bored Reading is about all I can do to keep my mind occupied so can anyone reccommend any good fishy books to read? :smln:

Have added to my first post. Heres a small one for another one of my tanks. Will add on to both as time goes on

Went for a shopping spree at Hollywoods today and came back with an L140, a pair of kribs, 5 Harlequins and 5 Dwarf Chain Loaches :happy2: Here's a few photos! I'm so glad I got the loaches, Sophias right, they've got real little personalities :love:

Welcome!

I've definately found that people I know think I'm nerdy since I started fishkeeping. But I've always been a nerd at heart :lol:

They are very cute! Here's hoping they can keep my snail population in check :nilly:

I've always wondered the same things, I can't get my head around it. :spop:

I don't have anyone to ask &c:ry Went on my trip to HFF! Came back with an L140, 5 Dwarf Chain Loaches, a pair of kribs, and 5 Harlequin Rasboras :happy2:

Those debit cards are brilliant! A bit dangerous when your trying to save though Arm in still in a cast post surgery so I just struggled to wash my waist long hair one-handed - time for a hair cut? :tears: Now trying to convince mummy dearest to drive me to HFF for my fish-spree! !drool:

Much easier said than done

What was the treatment?

Looked into it but we don't have the room and I dont have the money :tears: I need to draw the line anyway. I think I have a problem..

Very much so :lol: I've even been thinking about getting another 3 x 2fts for my room

Yeap, just bought it now. He's got some good stuff This year I've gone from zero to five tanks and mum is not too happy :slfg:

Nah I wish! Studying a vert nursing cert from home. I've spoken to the guy on trademe and he's giving me a good deal :happy2:
