Fish Health / Fin rot?!
« Last post by Squeebo84 on April 14, 2024, 08:36:43 AM »Morning all.
I purchased 3 male endlers last week and all seem happy to be fair but there is one that has a fancier tail and it's frayed and I think it's getting worse.
When I got him there was already a bit of it missing but I think it's getting worse.
I see no white on the end of it either.
I have 9 harlequin rasboras
3 male endlers
4 nerite snails
2 ammano shrimp
And a panda garra.
I've attached a photo so hopefully you wonder dull people can give me some help.
Oooo water paremeters are
Cl2. 0
Ph. 7.6
Khd. 4/5
Ghd. 8
No2. 0
No3. 20
Ammonia.0
26°c
Thank you in advance

« Last post by Squeebo84 on April 14, 2024, 08:08:47 AM »Ahhh I see, thanks for the pics.
I find myself staring at them and looking at every little thing that could be wrong 🙄.
To be fair they all seem happy doing there thing and every now and then they'll all group up for a parade around the tank and I love it when they do that.
Thanks for putting my mind at ease👍

Looking forward to seeing photos of your tank.

Some examples of curved spines can be found in this thread - very different from your fish!

New Fishkeepers / Curved spine??
« Last post by Squeebo84 on April 12, 2024, 08:31:16 PM »Evening all, I'm after a bit of help.
I came across a page that was mentioning fish tb and I had a close look at my rasboras and now I think (hope) im over thinking but could some have a look at these pics and tell me if some of my fish have the curved spine please.
I hope I'm just panicking over nothing.

Started with a little starter tank that I found in a school refurb that was getting thrown out and thought" Ill get it for the kids" I soon took over and claimed it as my own😂. I had 3 rosy barbs and a plec and a few plastic plants and a spongbob figure.
After scouring the web for a second hand tank I found a fluval flex 123l with a few rocks for £50 and snapped it up.
Ive since put in
2 new filters and media (didn't come with any)
New 150w heater
2 stones
3 plants (anubias nana, amazon sword and a crypt)
A sandy gravel Substrate (1-3mm)
A few patches of fluval plant soil just where the plants are planted.
I have 3 peices of drift wood soaking ready to go in.
Air stone
The old air fed filter and some old substrate in a stocking next to the new filters.
I got impatient with the cycle about 2 weeks in and my water readings were good and I caved in and got 4 harlequin rasbora To get the cycle going and some fluval cycle also put the pleco in there aswell after letting it acclimatise at top.
Its been 3 days and the ammonia has gone to 0.2 and no2 is still showing 0 but the no3 is showing about 20~25.
Plants are growing well also.
I no I should have read up first and should have waited the fish less cycle but any recommendations or tips would be welcome and thanks for having me here.
I'm looking forward to learning and growing my natural looking fish community.
