Hi, I just noticed my angel laid some eggs and they are hatching. The female is in now in the process of hiding the eggs in my java fern. What should I do next? Would be neat to raise a few.

Thanks, The wife found him dead tonight :-( Cheers

Hi, Just noticed my German Ram has one very swollen eye. I did a google and I think it may be pop eye. Anything I can do about it?

it seems to be a faded spot on the fish. Don't think it is ulcer like Last time I checked there was no fuzzy growth on it. I guess there is nothing I can do and the neon will just die? I haven't spotted anything on other neons but what I did notice was that they stayed in one spot. This is unusual for neons IMO. Anyway, since removing the other neon they started swimming around again. Is it somehow possible that they sense the other one may be ill? cheers

Just did a water change and noticed something on one of my neons. I think this may be neon disease. Any thoughts? I have taken him out of the tank and place him in a small tank. Not sure if I should put him to rest or not? The ram is not doing much. Pretty much lifeless...

Hell, that is scary stuff. I just did a waterchange yesterday. I do one a week normally. Should I do daily ones or every few days? I did test my Ph and that was alright. Have no means of testing other parameters right now. Thanks for all your help :-)

Hmmmm, Ram doesn't look to well two days on. It is mainly sitting just under water surface and it seems to be breathing a bit harder. It is not eating either. Usually Ram grabs food out of my hand. Other fish appear to behave normal although I am not sure about my bristlenose. He appears to be more in the open and not move around as much. His breathing appears to be higher too. Anything I can do to right now as a precautionary measure??

Thanks for video. Beautiful fishies. I am not seeing that behaviour so must have been something completely different. @Ira, funny response. If that was a poop, I have never seen a fish dump like that before... :lol:

Was a white string, yes. All looks ok now. Will keep an eye on it

Hi When I came home from work I noticed my blue ram with a swollen vent andwhat I thought looked like eggs inside. There was also something string like attached. When I looked again 20 minutes later the vent was back to normal and I can't see any eggs anywhere. If it weren't eggs, what was it?

Flourish excel works wonders :-)

I have lowered the flow and did a water change but whatever algae were cleaned up is back. Will give flourish excel a go. Any tips on how to use for best results?

Can the BBA be caused by higher flow? I moved from a duck mouth to spraybar and I wonder if it started since then? I am also considering getting a Siamese Algae eater since they are the only one who eat this algae

They grow like weeds :-) I guess that is expected with ambulia. Need to do a water change tomorrow, will clean off as much algae as I can and reduce lightning some more.

So I have reduced my lightning to 10 hours or so. I probably have reduced the amount of food somewhat but the algae are still there. I'd say probably increased over last week. I think what I see is black brush algae. The light tube says "extra day hi-glow 40 W". I have no clue about lightning, should I look at something different. Most of the plants are affected. Initially it was noticeable on java moss but now my ambulias are getting really affected. I also start to get small bushes on background and some rocks. I have one bristlenose but he can't keep it clean :-) Cheers
