Hi there, new to this site. Was just wondering if anyone could help with a problem. My boyfreind finally got back his tropical fishtank back off our freind (who had been looking after it for about a year while he lived in pet free shared accomodation) and installed it at our flat. It currently houses about 25guppies (population explosion - will be looking to give a few away at some point), two loaches and three shrimps. The problem is with one of the loaches, a sucking loach. It seemed fine after the move two weeks ago but over the last two days it has taken to floating upside down at the surface. Temperature and pH all seem fine. Can anybody shed any light on why this might be happening and is there anything we can do?

Thanks,

Suse
