My sister has a couple of axies and has them on sand; gravel they kept swallowing, after changing to large stones too many bits falling between- harder to clean; so changed to sand, which she keeps clean with a combo of siphoning/waterchanges and turkey baster

thanks! Only temporary till we move them to tank... think we are getting an undergravel filter for it.

Partner says I definitely need to get glasses as they are 3.5/4cm not 2.5cm! :oops: Anyway, fish still alive to date; did my first water change (partner did previous) few days ago and i think I was more stressed than the fish! Also, now have small filter for the bowl (penn plax smallworld brand) which has helped a lot. quote="Pegasus"] Am in Wellington region. Will sort profile out in a few mins. Thanks for your suggestion to buy a cheap tank but after looking round it was much cheaper to get a tank made to our specs. , 80cm x 40 x 40, rather than buy one second hand.

Feeding Twice a day /tetra flakes (enuf for few mins feeding - partner does, as my idea of a few mins. feeding wud prob kill them! :oops: :oops: :oops: Water changes have been once/week - approx 15-20% . Fish are shubunkins (sp?), small 2.5cm approx. as I am terrible at gauging measurements!

hi, am new to this. I have 2 fish in a plastic fish bowl with airstone and oxyshell- 10 litres i think. (Partner bought on a whim fortnight ago and novelty worn off for him) Water seems quite cloudy somedays. Its not in direct sunlight. Asked at local petshop but where he bought fish but they weren't too helpful . Should it have a filter and if so what sort shud i get for this? Sorry, but it is completely confusing to me!
