My male blue ram has strange white "pimples" on his head, doesn't look like whitespot, no sign of "fluff". The spots are slightly raised and seem to be fairly regularly spaced around one eye, in between the eyes and a single spot on the other side. The tank was recently treated with a gentle...
My geophagus brasiliensis have just finished with laying their first clutch, the female was laying a bunch of eggs at a time, the male fertilised them then the female scooped them into her mouth, which is a little different to what I've read. I was under the impression that the eggs were laid on...
My juvenile lamp. calvus has recieved a nasty bite just behind his gills from a juli. marlieri. I've stuck him in a breeder cage to seperate him (I haven't got another tank with tanganyika style water for him to go in). As the difference in size between them is considerable, the bite is quite...
My community tank with various dwarf cichlids was doing fine until I introduced a borelli about 3 months back. First there was an outbreak of whitespot, the treatment of which killed my honsloi. Then, one by one, my crenicaras all died. The filimentosa was the largest so I took it to my local...

And the small fish...
My male Honsloi is looking sad, has lost most of his colour, fins and tail clamped and is eating very little. He also rubs his belly on stones sometimes. I've had a good long look at his gills and belly with a magnifying glass and a hand microscope and can see nothing out of the ordinary. Until...
First off, Hi there, this is my first post here! I've kept fish before as a kid, just some fairly standard fairground goldfish, but nothing more until last year when I bought a little 70l tank and stuck a few random fish in it. However, my obsessive nature soon came to the fore and with the...
