Hi. My beautiful male pearl gourami has been fading away for a few weeks... he started losing his colour & getting thinner. He still likes his food.. but is now looking terrible :tears: whats happened to him??? all the other fish look fine.. incl 2 girl gouramis Tank gets weekly water changes/gravel siphons please help.

Sweet.. thanks :cr9:

Picking up my new tank off trademe tomorrow :happy1: It's 1000 x 450 x 480... Scuse my ignorance.... but can someone please tell me how many litres that is... :spop:

Oh.. bugger Cam... :tears: here's hoping for a happy outcome!!!!!! :f77:

Hi guys... Any ideas from the above pics??? :spop: I've trimmed off a lot of the brown bits. Things seem to be holding their own, for now.. the lights are on for 8 hours, no airstone, still have to get tropical bulb (should get that today) plus JBL balls. :f77:

It's a 60Lt. I've done a 50% water change, gravel vac & plant cleanup tonight. Have been feeding twice a day.. but will drop that to once a day! :f77:

I did have 4.. (2 smaller ones & 2 slightly larger ones. the other one that died about a month ago was one of the smaller ones.. now the sick one is the other smaller one... :tears: ) the 2 larger ones seem happy, as do all the other fish.. :dunno:

just tested now ammonia: .5 :nilly: nitrite: 0 ph: 7.4 I don't have a nitrate test.. but another Nelsonian has one.. so hopefully will get that done over the weekend too temp 26 tankmates: 2x clown fish 3 x pearl gourami 2 x dwarf honey gourami 1 x platty 1 x male siamese fighter 1 x golden bristlenose approx: 12 male guppies Will do weekly gravel siphon/water change/plant cleanup tomorrow!! then test recheck !!! :spop:

Hi Adrienne. I haven't seen any spots on any of the fish.. & I'm wondering.. how do they get a parasite if there haven't been any new fish introduced into the tank for ages??? :dunno:

My clown loach is sick.... :tears: he seems to be breathing very rapidly!! & of late is often seen laying upright in a corner, or wedged in under the driftwood. His top fin is clamped down :nilly: He's the 4th one I've had.. 3 others died :cry1: the 2 slightly larger ones in the tank both seem happy It's a community tank, well planted, with big bits of driftwood & places to hide. he gets fed a mixture of tropical flakes, frozen bloodworms, sinking algae wafers & dried bloodworms. & sometimes cooked shelled peas Any ideas????? :fshi: ps: sorry mods.. should be in diseases section... :facepalm:

wow.. awesome plants!!!! :thup:

Here's our darling Ted :love: She's another BIG cat!!! & we think her daddy was a possum!!! :slfg:

Soooo.... when can I expect you to arrive in Nelson to make MY tank look like that then hmmmm...?? :love: !drool: :bggrn:
