I picked up some Corys from the LFS yesterday.  Last night I noticed that
one of them has a "pimple" just forward of its right pectoral fin, where the
fin joins the body.  The "pimple is off-white and about 1/16" in diameter.
Would this thing be a cancerous growth or a ...

Recently my pair of moon fish laid eggs on a stone. I took this stone out to
be safe. Did I do this right and how long does it take for the eggs to com
out?

My  set up seems to suffer from greening of the small bridges and fish "
toys" in the tank and to some extent the water.We have a full pump filter
system in a 24 inch tank and the only real change is to the strip lighting.
I think the choice was either tropical ( the cheaper option) ...

All people with opposing views on  this group will be nit picked and
harassed by the foul mouth Tristan and his arrogant sidekick Tynk... panties

Was comp,letely blown away in the week: had a little peek in the tank
in the morning & saw the lil critter in an unlikely pose - belly up

Was staring at him & then out of the corner of my eye I saw *another

Hi, I have just three clown loaches in a 60 litre juwell tank. I'm away on
holiday next month and need an automatic fish feeder to cover 14 days.
Can anyone recommend one and who to buy from on-line (I'll check my local
shop first, of course!).

I recently bought a fish and cannot remember the name-it was the only one
left and the shop was not local so I can't just pop in and askm so any
quesses would be appreciated. It is silver, very streamlined,  with a black
stripe going from about 2 thirds of the way down its body ...

I'm thinking of purchasing a Python Syphon, I have tapes in the fish
house I can connect it to, but there is no drain underneath the taps,
I do have a waste pipe leaving the fish house that I usually shphon
into which leads to a drain outside the fish house.

We've had a Red Tail Shark in our tank for a while. I would estimate about
6-8 years. Over the last couple of years it looks like he has developed
something under his scales on his side. All gis scales are lifting. He still
seems lively enough but I fear the worst.

What do you do about water changes when you have city wide water
restrictions in place?

future am i supposed to give up showering so i can do water changes or

Would someone please post  the link  to the Yahoo Fish  group, that was
started  some months ago, to counter  the "off-Topic'  stuff posted on these
news groups..   I believe  "net-max"  was involved.

I would like to purchase a canister filter to replace my Emperor 400 (I
like the filter, but it's too noisy.).
Does anyone have experience with the Magnum 350 Pro and/or the Fluval
405?

We did have a thread a while back that if you lived in Wood Green or
Palmers Green there wasn't much in the way of shops to buy Juwel bits.
Most of the time I ended up either going to one of the Aquaria centres
at Crews Hill, or Wholesale Tropicals in Bethnal Green (great place
