No i didnt use any treatments in the tank at all. Could they just die?? Or another fish stress them out too much.?

i was at work all day. temp was around 24 when i left and come home. The tank is a few months old now and ive got a plec, clown plec 2 x upside down catfish, 2 humbug catfish and spotted catfish, panda and peperred cories. All the other fish seem fine. Any clues

sorry the ph 6.4 and nitrate is ten. cheers

hey guys i know this is nothing to do with catfish but i had 6 clown loaches for a few weeks now and they all seemed to be fine untill i cam home today and all six were dead. water conditions ph 7, ammonia 0, nitrite 0 and nitrate around 20/30. does anybody know what could have caused this. many tha...

Yes i know you have to cycle the tank. Im moving over a period of about 4/5 weeks so will have time to cycle the tank and move the fish over a few weeks and visit both houses to feed and look after both tanks while the old one is still in action. Many thanks

thank you all for your replys but i think im going to buy a new tank and set it up and move the fish over a few weeks. cheers

hey all, im moving house and need to move my fish tank with me. just some tips on doing this. its a 160 litre tank. cheers

Hey all, I was just wondering if my common plec is normal or not. Ive got real plants in my tank and he seems to eat certain plants within a day of putting them in there is this a sign of him not getting enough food? Also my friends have got plecs and theirs seem to come out alot and suck the glass ...

hi, i checked the levels again and they are as i first said. I checked another tank which is new and shows some ammonia and nitrite so the test kit is still working. I dont add any more co2 or anything like that. My plec seems to be fine and the cory is just lying in the corner darting now and again...

thanx for your reply, the tank holds 155 litre's and i do about a 30% water change each week. There are other fish 2 peppered corys 2 striped raphael catfish 2 spotted " " 1 plec 1 clown plec 4 platys 8 neons the only thing that has changed is the fast that the platys have been breeding li...

hiya about 2/3months ago i bought 5Corydoras trilineatus but 4 of them soon died. The one surviving one has grown and seemed to be ok. All of a sudden he has started darting round the tank and swiming at mid level alot of the time. My levels are ph : 7 Ammonia : 0ppm Nitrite : 0ppm Nitrate : 10ppm T...

Yeah sounds like a good choice. I've got one of these and i have found that he comes out quite alot and even has a go at the large plec at feeding time. Mine does create huge amounts of waste though. Good luck

hey jjpython. Welcome to planetcatfish. I have just noticed that you are from elgin. I love it up there. been on my hols up there a few times.

hey, these eggs also look like so kind of snail eggs to me aswell. One i thing i would reccomend is to have a sand substrate or fine gravel for the cory's (they prefer this and it also lets the barbels grow nicely). Have a look on ebay or some kind of mail order plants. I have found that you can get...

cool, i was the same when it first happened to me. Ive got raphael catfish stiped and spotted. They just dont know when to stop eating. Oh well at least he enjoyed his tea.

just sounds like its eaten to much too me

hey yall, i bought two spotted raphael fish last week. They seemed to settle in well found caves and seemed to be happy. Last night i seen them both out just swimming slowly but one of them has seemed to lost his colour on their belly. It was just like a grey white colour. I did turn the room light ...

ok many thanks everyone. Ill have a look at that website now cheers

hello everybody :) This is nothing to do with catfish but i was just wondering if anybody know's anything about singapore shrimp?? I have a couple in my tank and have had them for around 6 months. For the last day they seem to have been fighting but this afternoon have noticed one of them has got re...

ok many thanks for your help. As always very helpful

hiya in my opinion i think it looks more like a Corydoras leopardus??? what do you think

Heys guys!! Ive just done a water test on my tank and the levels are as follows pH - 7.0 AMMONIA - 0ppm NITRITE - 0ppm NITRATE - 10ppm These levels are good but i also did a test on my tap water without conditioners init or anything and the levels were pH - 7.0 AMMONIA - 0ppm NITRITE - 0ppm NITRATE ...

Yeah thanks im starting to get better at cleaning it now. Cool i will have to look out for them snails. Many thanks for your advice

cool your tank loks really nice with the loaches. Guess your not putting any more plants init then. lol

hello everyone! . . .I have recently changed my tank from gravel to sand. This seemed to be sucessful but one thing i have noticed in the past couple of day's is that my peperred cory's are lying on top of each other most of the time and are making strange moves up against each other. They also seem...

hello mat, i did manage to change it. It was abit of a task but all went well and the water conditions are still stable which is Brill. The only problem is that with the sand you can obviously see that dirt alot more than gravel. Further more i find it rather difficult to clean the sand. starting to...

Ok thank you for your help. I have now got rid of the sukcing loaches and got a few leopard cory's(lovely little things). Lets hope that the fish stop going awol.

cool thanks for the advice. i might have a project this weekend then. By the way i think you aquarium looks awesome.

Sorry the nitrate is about 40. Would the fish die overnight though even when they look fine last thing at night?

hiya all the levels are 0 and the ph is around 7.2. the honey gourami was about 1inch and the neon rainbow fish was 1 1/2 inch. In my tank i have one pleco, 1 clown pleco, 4 guppies, 8 neons, 3 platys (one went missing last night???) 2 peperred corys, 3 neon rainbow fish, 2 apple snails, 2 singapore...
