I have read all the points, and one I am not rude I have kept all sort of fish for over 25 years, so now people are telling me my readings are wrong, I know how to use test kits my number 3 requires 10 drops then shake the 2nd bottle requires to be shaken first for 30 seconds then 10 drops shake the...

good points seven I never even thought about that. +1 to your comment about the salt I was just about to ask myself. But he also hasn't told us what kind of test kits he uses yet and so the readings he is giving us could be skewed, and with a tank that overstocked idk how he is getting such good re...

Hi, well it was Midge birthday yesterday as well as Mine, but what a birthday Midge is lying on it's side with a lump on the side that is not touching the sand, I am very stressed and upset, so please no negative response. I recently moved him to a much larger tank, (150 Gallons), the Ammonia = 0 No...

Good evening to you all, it's now 22.20 here in Blighty, Midge has just eaten his muscle, i think he sets a new record every night :D :D one minute it's there then gone.

Midge is still not doing anything, he just stares out of the tank, I have heard that they do sulk, is this correct, like I said he did eat yesterday, and his colour is fine, getting a bit concerned again,dunno what else I can do.

yeah will do, no to poo, I will keep an eye on him

As well as using Kusuri, it would be ok to use Melafix in addition

thanks for the info, about the sand, I will use your advice, and not the advice I had been given years ago!!!

Midge is still not very active, I am today going to treat the tank with Kusuri
