Hi and Welcome. The snails are Red Ramshorns, I have them too, pesky things just seem to appear from nowhere!

I started with six, now down to three, luckily one male, two females. I think the death rate after purchase is pretty high.

That's debatable. Irish

Don't forget to put your location in your profile, too.

That would be Flourish Excel, not straight Flourish. Flourish Excel in standard dosage will melt Riccia and Vallisneria. Double dosing is sometimes used to combat Black Beard Algae, but can be hard on some fish, someone may be able to elaborate on which fish in particular.

Hi and welcome. Definite time wasters are fish, the hours just seem to slip away!

Be careful putting Blue Rams into a newly setup tank, they are better put into a well matured tank. Alas, more patience required! Good to see you doing your homework first, too.

Now all you have to do is enter them into the site database - after we have made it Wok-proof!

Hi, and welcome.

What about Paratya curvirostris? http://www.nzfreshwater.org/crustacea.html

Oooo... Look, eyes!

Patience, Grasshopper... We have been working on something else at the moment.

Native fish details can be found here... http://www.fnzas.org.nz/index.php?PG=nativefish Sounds like you have the makings of an interesting pond!

Hi, and welcome.

Hi Stray, and welcome to the forums.

What sort of Killies are they?

A case in point - this was sold to me as Cryptocryne lutea. Straight from the LFS New leaves after three weeks in the tank, fuzzy pic is because of high water flow in tank. I also have lucens, but it has kept its original leaf shape from when I bought it.

Nice pics Simon, I like the Glosso.

Aww Barrie, don't like cat pictures, then? You didn't tell him that an article should go with the pictures as well?

Very nice oeminx.

With Imageshack, do you get the option to post the IMG tags, they start with http: instead of the ones that start with HTTP: or The IMG tags will allow the image to show in the post, rather than a link.
