| i need some advice..... smelleyfanny.... my fish are looking very lethargic, and one of the honey gourami is very bloated, ive put some treatment in for that, but when i went to feed them this morning, theyre normally all round the top of the tank waiting, but this morning they never bothered could it be that theyve got no light in there, the light is broken, ive got to wait till next month for my dad to look at it, its been that way for some time now i dont want to lose all me fishies | |

| i thought light warmed the water along with the thermostate , they might be lethargic because of the cold , light surely means sunshine to fishies and everything feels better when the suns out | |

| ooh i dont know sue, i dont think any heat actually comes from the light, i could be wrong, but the heater is set to the right setting and that gives enough heat to the water theyre definately not as active as they normally are | |

| i dont have an undergravel filter .. i have fluval filters ... two of them which is more than enough for the tank.... im going to clean them out again later see if that helps, but theyve recently had new pads put in ive got bottom feeing fish to eat the shiit and two large snails, plus ive got snail eating fish to eat any babies.... theyre fed blood worm 3 times a week to combat any tummy problems.... last month they were given tonic to boost them up.... so gawd knows whats happening | |
