Agree with above. Works well if you don't overfeed. I used to disolve the yeast in warm water and just add a very little but often.

Smallamounts of brewers yeast from Bin inn or fish flakes crushed up. Have had success with both.

What is an iphone, ipad or imac. What am I missing out on? will I still stay alive?

Someone just check the maths please. The stock solutions could be different.

Anyone want to check my calculations---I would be pleased. Each ml contains 8.48 x 50/59 = 7.1864mg of active ingredient You need 2ppm in 200litres = 2mg/litre = 400mg in 200litres You therefore require 400/7.1864 mls of your solution You need to add 55.7mls of your solution to 200 litres of water Back to the shop?

2 ppm is 2mg/litre of active ingredient which is the part without the hydrochloride or the water that it is in. What concentration of liquid do you have?

It often is with a filter that all that is required in the way of cleaning is the intake hose. You can make up a 'PULL THROUGH' as used to clean a rifle barrel and it works very well. Even blasting water through it helps a lot.

one ml of water weighs one mg

Nice looking leps.

Poisoning can have any manner of signs. It depends on the poison.

Have you checked for velvet? Easiest way is to wait until it is dark and with the lights out look at them with a torch. If whitespot looks like they are sprinkled with salt then velvet looks like they are sprinkled with pepper. If it is not that then I would look at gyrodactylus. The skin usually looks milky but can realy only be confirmed with a skin scrape under a microscope.

Swim bladder problems---can be caused by all manner of things. Hard to treat if you don't know what you are treating.

The signs of Piscene Tuberculosis can include: Wasting disease. typically pinch bellied and from the front or rear the "back steaks" are concave rather than convex. Bent spine or bone deformities. Ulcers or open wounds. It can attack the liver and cause swelling like dropsy. It can attack the ovaries and stop egg production. It breaks down the imune system so can make the fish more prone to other diseases. It can therefore be difficult to diagnose because most of these signs can also be something else. It is caused by a bacteria and is zoonotic---that is can be transmitted to humans (generally through cuts or broken skin on the hands). This is the main reason for the requirment to wear long waterproof gloves when quarantining fish. If they do not improve after deworming that would be my next choice.They are gram positive micobacteria and they are slow growing and have a protective slime coat, both of which make for difficulty in treating with antibiotics. When I imported goldfish one type came up with PTB and Maf (in those days) took them away to be destroyed, they did not suggest a treatment. The fact that they took away the wrong fish is another issue for another day.

If you knew the latin name you could check on the approved list for importation.

How does the CO2 system work? I might be having a bad day but at the moment it looks like smoke and mirrors.

There are a variety of heat pumps and they work differently. A friend down here had two heat pumps heating a large fish house and one of them worked during a snow storm and the other was not much use.

And all frogs have amazingly big mouths.

Did they tell you that the dead fish will cycle the tank?

Unfortunately the floating plants are a no no here (Water Hyacinth---Eichornia cassipes)

I always raised baby corries in a bare tank, sometimes with other similar sized fish. I don't know if they will get eaten, (though I would suspect so). The other risk is that he will eat all the food before the babies get it. Best to raise them in a bare tank on their own or with similar sized babies that are not bottom feeders.

He must have left Christchurch for less shakey territory.

Have no fear. "They" are looking closely at a few others like water dragons. I am waiting for "them" to bring in some controls on cats. The skinks your cat catches are probably natives. In the South Island there are only natives.

I hope you don't let it prowl the neighbourhood then.

It is caused by the radiation from cell phones so they should be banned.

I think bluies would survive north of the Bombay hills. So would water dragons I suspect. So would domestic cats.
