Bamboo Shrimps and Clown Loaches

Hello All, One of my six Clown Loaches has again been infected with White Spot and the last time I treated the infection successfully with Protozin, however this time I am treating with Melafix as this will not affect the Bamboo Shrimps I have in my tank (so I am being told). Can someone advise me i...

I think the sound is produced due to cavitation - the production of a shock wave. Thanks redshark. I'm t...

Popping Noise.
Hello All, This is my second post after acquiring my 6 clown loaches which after a brush with white spot are doing fine and growing in confidence, however i have noticed a couple of things which appear unusual to me, but probably not that unusual to the veterans of this forum.
