Hi ladies. Tank capacity apprx 40L heater 200W filter 300L an hour - water runs over ceramic tubes and then through some type of foam. one b/n on plecochips two platy's one guppy one pink unidentified fish, yellow tinge in tail, similar in form to a gold fish seven neon tetras Did about 25% water change and added water ager today. Fish appear to be happy, definately not lethargic.

The original tank and fish we have had for about three weeks. The new tank, small tropical fish and B/N we got today. My eldest son is 24yrs and my youngest son is 8 yrs. This is a joint venture between my youngest and myself. We live in Kihikihi, Te Awamutu. Robert, my youngest son has a rabbit, my daughter has a cat. Old dogs do learn new tricks so box on. Fish keeping is a vast subject to be learnt over a period of time. Any help keeping the fish alive until the tank is "working as it should" would be appreciated. No live plants in the tank, would like some. Fish active, seem to be enjoying themselves.

Big crisis this morning, one of Roberts gold fish died. Seen how he had proven he was a keen keeper of fish, dad and son head off to the local pet shop to get a replacement. Many dollars later we head off home with a fish tank kit, a heater, one bag with four tropical fish in it, one bag with a bristle nose cat fish and a third bag with a gold fish and a snail for the origanal fish tank.And a filter for the original tank.. Not until perusing this web site did the huge lack of fish knowledge become evident. Hence the "oop's" For instance, what are those fish floating around in the new tank called? The B/N is great, a fish with character. Will follow any threads to do with them. This is an awesome site folks. We will learn a great deal from it. :roll: Any advice will be welcomed.
