    SAE

    Hi Barrie. I had BBA in one of my tanks. I got a SAE and the tank is clean as a whistle now.
  3. :bounce: :bounce: Congrats broms2 and family. Surely news like this deserves a thread of it's own??
  4. A bit of a side track...what do you feed Brineshrimp to grow them on?
  5. There could be a number of reasons for failing to hatch. Wrong temp, inadequate airation, incorrect salinity, old eggs. How did you go about hatching them?
  6. Hi djay. I keep Bristlenoses with my Malawis and I'm pretty sure I've heard of people keeping Clown Loaches with them. Others will have to confirm this though.

  9. It should dry fine indoors. Use paper towels if you need to. Any bleach must surely be gone by now. Can you still smell it?

    Bloated

    I agree with Caryl, digestive problems which can hopefully be cured by eating some pea. It helps with constipation.
  11. Hi nicmack. Until your tests read 0.00 Ammonia and 0.00 Nitrite. Only then is your tank fully cycled. On uncycled tanks I do 30% water changes daily until the Ammonia spike is over then every second day until the Nitrite spike is over. HTH
  12. I've had a solo Sterbai Cory lay eggs.
  13. :lol: I live my life by #12 :lol:
  14. Hi and welcome to the forums. How long has the tank been set up? The dust....Maybe it's over feeding, which is very easy to do. Try halving the amount you feed for a week and see if that helps. Also, check to see that your filter is up to the task. Ideally, you want it to move at least 4 times the tank volume an hour.
  15. Welcome to the forums Karl :bounce:
  16. A guy walks into a bar, gets a drink and sits at a table. " I like your shirt" He looks around but sees no one. "Nice tie too" comes a voice from a bowl of peanuts "and your haircut really suits you". The guy freaks and goes up to the barman "Whats the story with those peanuts?" to which the barman replies "They're complimentary"
  17. I have no idea about the natives....but I've heard that tropicals can go without food for 2 weeks and be OK.
  18. Hi bazza. This was posted a few months ago but it might be worth sending them a PM http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/1-vt28 ... sc&start=0 HTH
