Good luck team. Everything that I have two of is crossed, I'm rubbing my Rabbits foot for you and if I meet a Genie today I'll give you one of my wishes.

Hi Cam. I found this here.... http://www.fishpondinfo.com/sae.htm Siamese Algae Eater or SAE: The true SAE has a jagged black horizontal stripe that goes all the way to the tip of the tail. All of the SAE's fins are clear. The black and white and their contrast are more intense than with the other algae eaters below. False Siamese Algae Eater or false SAE: The false SAE if usually found in shipments of true SAE (or the other way around). Unlike the SAE, the black stripe ends at the beginning of the tail. Often, if one goes to buy SAE's in a US aquarium store, they may in fact be all or mostly false SAE's. False SAE's may have some red around the mouth and a yellow tint to the fins. My false SAE had some nice gold and red on the dorsal fin. Mine was sold as a flying fox. Flying Fox: Just like the true SAE, the flying fox has a black horizontal stripe that goes all the way to the tip of the tail. Unlike the SAE, the edges of the stripe are smooth and not zagged. The flying fox may have some rainbow-like coloring on the fins. It is more pretty than the other fish mentioned on this page. The black horizontal stripe extends to the end of the tail like the SAE but it is much stronger and broader. Chinese Algae Eater or CAE: The Chinese algae eater is Gyrinocheilus aymonieri. Unlike the SAE, false SAE, and flying fox, the CAE does not have a distinct black horizontal line. It is more mottled. The fish is more brown than black and white. The tail fin lacks any striping. The CAE also does not have any barbels unlike the other three fish. If you go to the average pet store that carries fish and ask for a fish that eats algae, probably half the time, you would have a Chinese algae eater foisted upon you. While these fish are a delight like the above fish, they have only a low to moderate desire to eat any algae. If fish food is available, it will compromise most of their food intake. Also, as Chinese algae eaters grow older, the may become nasty to other algae eaters or even other fish in the tank. Some may try to latch onto fat-bodied fish. Sometimes, though some individuals get along well with their tankmates. There is a very common albino (or gold) CAE which may be sold even more often then the regular gray CAE. The CAE does not zip around as much as the SAE, false SAE, and flying fox. It tends to do more sucking. CAE's normally stay under 6 inches but have the ability to grow to almost twice that length.

:lol: :lol: LMAO

You're plumbing the depths with those jokes :lol:

:bounce: :bounce: WOW Very, very cool. I love the colours of the fish in the first link......awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing David R, now I have another fish to add to the 'Wish List'. Damn, that list just keeps getting longer :lol: and I don't have deep enough pockets.

Mine loved it...and cucumber, lettuce, peas and any plants I put in the tank. Mine would eat anything. She loved bloodworm and small peices of raw chicken, steak, any meat really. In the wild they eat anything that comes their way so they're easy to feed. I enjoyed watching her eat spirulina tabs. She'd hold the tab vertically to her mouth and nibble away and spin the tab at the same time, slowly whittling it down 8)

:bounce: :bounce: Great stuff Romeo. I'm jealous as. I really enjoyed my Koura, she was one of my favourite wet pets. Pics, pics and pics please

Congrats on the soon to be new arrivals :bounce: It's not very far along at all. You need to get that Ammonia down as close to 0.00 real quick.....don't introduce your Koura until you've done a large water change and keep testing it daily, doing as many water changes as necessary to keep the Ammonia as close to 0.00 as you can. As for the introduction to the new tank.....when I got mine she was in a jar which I floated to equalise the temp and then put her in the tank, no probs.

Hi Stella. Do you know if it's male or female? I'm just guessing sorry, can't really help much but could 'she' be egg bound? Although that doesn't really fit with the eye symptom :-?

Hi angel obsessed. I've heard of them but never kept them so I Googled http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/pakloach.htm http://badmanstropicalfish.com/profiles/profile79.html HTH

:bounce: :bounce: AWESOME :bounce: :bounce: Well done

This sign vinyl stuff looks like fun. I'm wondering what I could do to the old Falcon 8)

Very cool van Years ago, before employment contracts, my Dad fired a guy because he only used one hand on a broom and refused to do it any other way :lol: A couple of months ago I saw a kid in a supermarket using a broom upside down :roll: The bristles weren't even touching the floor

Gutted.....

Sorry to hear about this Navarre. I hope you manage to pin point the cause.

Ditto please

I reckon you'd need a bigger school of Cardinals eventually but adding them a few at a time is the way to go. You obviously have patience :lol: .

Congratulations :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I'd go along with that. I think you could probably add a few more fish now 8) Keep testing the water and I reckon you'll be fine
