Well the next thing on the eg ends after the bleeding gums scare was cleaning the cannister filter. I've been told I have an eheim cannister and diligently watched YouTube and sort advice from fish shop and tonight decided to give it a go. Fail. The cannister is 3 times the size of the ones on the YouTube videos. I can't detach it and it seems to be built into the tank housing. I tried loosening the top and slowly letting water come out. After about 15 litres I gave up. I'm going to have to hire the fish tank guy.
put a pothos in the top of the tank looks very pretty. Nitrates 40ppm. Fish Face is eating the pellets. My life is one never ending water change
