update: i still dont know what it was, but no more died :bounce: as we are moving, i gave them to my physics teacher a couple of weeks ago, as she had a big tank and will look after them, (ok i know it is sad to be friends will my teachers, but i am the ultimate geek ) at last check all was fine, and pool is drained and packed, shells removed thx

lol caryl, you posted that will i was writting mine! (so i basicly repeated wat you said)

well i think i am still a beginner to, and i have no idea wat to do about the ick, but they would benifit from a bigger tank if you have one available (or convince you boss to give them to a pond or something) goldfish are coldwater fish, so even being inside is a reletively high temp, no heater is nessesary im not sure about the ph, but if they have been in a low ph for a long time, then i dont think that is an immediate problem (i never test for ph as goldfish are quite hardy (depending on type)) just an after thought, male goldfish will display white spots on their gills (when in breeding condition) so are you sure it's ick? dont know if that will be any help, and please feel free to correct me (im still learning!)

awesome looking tank!! i really want to go diving on that wreck! (i wanted to do it as part of my 'adventure diving' course, but my dad says i cant do it without him :roll: )

this guy was pretty hard out: http://www.malawicichlidhomepage.com/aq ... breed.html

well im supposed to do calc, but i cant find any resources or anything, so i might not bother i feel your pain, english is not my strong point either (understatment of the century )

lol, they are all the same (siblings) once my bro fed my fish, but i had to pay him (for every fish alive at the end of the week, which was one less than at the start :-? ) dont suppose your doing schalarship calc? you should have burned the english notes :lol: drop into the chatroom about 9.00 sometime cya 8)

hey welcome there's been lots of teenagers joining this week (well prob only like 2 but never mind) what NCEA subject do you do? lol, my bro wont even look after 1 tank :roll:

your forgiven

im insulted (just kidding :lol: :lol: ) you should check your info, last time i checked i was a teenage girl 8) good luck with the new tank :lol:

hey welcome! i dont know much, but id sugest getting larger schools of neons rather than just 3, i think 5 or 6 is supposed to be the right number but then again, i think we are clueless at times :roll:

ill drop in and tell ya how im going :lol: i have enough touble dealing with the insects around here lol (i think i have a phobia about moths)

lol :lol: :lol: :lol: thanks

not an issue for me, we are moving to aussie in a month :lol: :lol: ty :bounce: :bounce:

i guess ill wait till i actually get fry (if any) and then see if they get along (and your right they would have to be the same size)

yep dont worry they will all be in seperate tanks (are these good prices for tanks? http://www.aquariumsrus.com.au/pricep.htm ) question, i know that the adult definately should go together, but can the fry of different species go together? thanks again

ive done some research and ill start with kribs, electric yellow and blue rams, sound good? what tanks size would be best for the electric yellows (ill proberly start with 5 or 6)? cheers

the dwarf cichlids (the rams particularly) look good to start with, maybe later i might try one of the larger cichlids (chocolates or jewels) thanks

i did i science fair project a couple of years ago on whether goldfish had a 3 second memory (i timed them around mazes and stuff) And the project won first place! (and enough money to supply my fish for a few months :lol: )

poor little guy i dont know much about ick but i hope he gets better

i've had neon tetras, glowlights and comet goldfish, but i want to get something a little more adventureous (but still easy) What about bettas? (i always see them in pet shops) I might start on swordtails and guppies (can they be kept together?) and if all goes well expand to some cichlids later. ty

thanks, i looked kribensis up on the internet and they look about right, i guess there will be no demand for anything that is easy to breed are guppies the best choice for a livebearer? (they are the only one i really know)

i want to try and breed some fish (and maybe make some money), and was told that cichlids are really easy to breed. is this true? and is so which type are best (convicts?) or are there any other good begginer breeding fish? thanks

thanks i saw the sick lid thing but didnt get it :oops: (i couldnt think of anything to do with doctors that started with cich) thats quite different from the way it looks

now i have a silly question: how do you pronounce cichlid? (ive done research and decided to get some convicts, but id look stupid asking the pet shop for something that doesnt exist :oops: ) thanks
