Flake once a day

Please help guys, i have had 3 goldfish with swim bladder now, and i can honestly say it sucks !! :facepalm: Any chance i can prevent this happening to my little guys :dunno:

have you watched female laying eggs, if so does male follow to fertilise eggs

brought a breeding pair on sunday, have laid there first batch of eggs tonight . so excited as im new to this :happy2: :bounce:

In a seperate tank that i am using for Breeding.

Hey guys we brought our 4th discus fish yesterday.... We put her in our main tank. There are 34 neons and a blue diamond in that tank with her, the blue diamond gives her a bit of a hard time, seeing as it has been his tank for a couple of weeks. A few times she has attacked pebbles (blue diamond) back but she has this thing for just staying near the back left corner and moving her side fins in quote a fast circling motion. She is eating normally and everything Any Advice would be very much apprechiated.

Shoot, forgot about that Christchurch Sorry guys But i dont mind a wee bit of travel, it's worth it

Hey guys As most of you probably know i have recently set up a fish tank. I am now looking at buying Discus juveniles. Does any have any contacts to breeders ? Or anyone that is selling ? Would be most apprechiated

I only feed them flakes, could this do it ?

Hi guys I realised only about 10 minutes ago that one of my neons has two bumps as it's stomach . Disease ? Pregnant ? Or nothing, Please help me ... !

Good news my latest lot have been in for about 2-3 days and are still alive... and they are coming out a bit more now, but still enjoy hiding

After moving spray bar, woke up this morning . And all my fish are still alive ! What an amazing feeling that was :thup: . Arrived home just before to find, all of them were still alive. My Neons like hiding alot ? Is this normal...

Tested for Chlorine and has come back negative. Also since i moved water level and spray bar, we have had no fatalities, and fish are still exploring the bottom and seem fine

Tap water. And temp 27.4 degrees c

Current temp is 27.4 degrees c.

165 litres, temp is 27-29 degrees c. Heavily planted. 15 neons. flake food.

I live in Kaiapoi, Christchurch. Have removed some water to make water level lower than spray bar to create bubbles for oxygen. Fish seem to have left surface of water to explore bottom. Should I introduce some sort of bubbling device.

I live in Christchurch ..

Our local fish store said the level's are fine. As dad is not home right now i can not post exact levels. And yes we have done regular water changes, 10-15%.

My Father and I recently set up a 165 litre tropical tank, his idea was to in future buy discus. He was advised to put Neon tetra's in with them. We set the tank up on the 14 of August and put ten neons in that day, just to get the algae to build up. They all died over night. Two days later we brought 10 more. They all died within a day or two. We continued with this process a few times and more and more died. We purchased 20 more today and have had a few deaths already. Dad has had the water tested and have been told levels are all okay. As far as we know we are doing everything right. The neon's are near the surface of the water as if they are trying to reach air ? They are also breathing quite rapidly. Please, any suggestions and/or answers of what is happening would be apprechiated It's very disheartening as we have realised that maybe we can not get/keep discus

need help on water quality, etc
