Where do you buy it from? I need to topically treat one of my black moors
fin which has been white and slightly worn away - salt and melafix has
made no difference to it.

I have a koi w/ an ulcer and need some injectable medicine?  Are the
onine pet pharmacies reputable places for me to purchase baytril?  I
have never used them before, but it seems as if this method could be
cheaper than going to a vet and paying out the yahoo for

I have just noticed an opaque growth over an eye of one of my comets it
doesnt seem to be affecting the fish ATM except obvious vision distortion.
I cant isolate the fish into my medi tank as it currently has some new born
fry and it would eat em they are still too small.

Any ideas?Thanks.

I received (a father's dy gift) a small crab, body about 1inch, brown with red
claws.  He's now in my 20 g tank with my 2 inch shu.  They seem to be leaving
each other alone.  Any opinions or suggestions would be welcome, especially

I have a live plant that is covered in algae.  I can rub off most of it with
a towel or a soft tooth brush, but some just won't come off.  Is there
anything specific to clean living plants with?  I am considering a diluted
bleach solution to wipe down the leaves, and then isolating ...

I have recently acquired a lovely 7" Channel Catfish, upon hearing that he
was about to be "flushed". He is quite happy all alone in a 20 gallon tank,
as I understand that he is very territorial and in no way will he be
introduced to my main tank. I am after some advice/tips on ...

Yes, I know it's my own fault. The 50 gallon is too close to the windows,
now that it's summer and the sun comes up so far north. never even thought
about that when we put it there, and it's huge, hundreds of book holding
built in stand, in January. And the algae was no problem ...

I hope the crosspost is ok; it seems more efficient than posting an
identical article twice.
Tomorrow I'm going to look at a 48 * 18 * 18 tank - it's very cheap
(£20, which is around $36, and a fair bit less than half price in the
