Hi Mark I had never heard of these before but googled them and now know what to look for so will check. I fed them a piece of Broccoli stalk a week ago which they detached from the lead weight and it disappeared. I have been looking for it ever since, I suppose it is possible that this turned to mus...

The spots appeared to be slightly sticky as they were sticking to the fish and they were eating them off each other and picking at them in the water. I have 3 power heads creating a current in the tank. I will investigate further. Thanks f...

Water changes using rain water

I have a 90l tank with clown loaches, botia striata and a YoYo loach. I live in a very hard water area and have been trying to reduce the PH to make the environment more suitable for the loaches. I tried using a buffer in tap water but ended up with calcium hardness forming all over the tank and pla...
