[Whats a reasonably powerful but quiet air pump?]

they are having a laugh if they are trying to charge you $40

ive never paid over $15

[Target on tv3 Now]

yep i agree that target is a load of BS.

bout as real as sensing murder :lol:

despite seeing all the dodgy dudes on target, i very rarely have a customer that doesn't trust me in their home by myself.

funnily enough those are usually the people who go through the whole job with a fine tooth comb and complain about stuff that i can do nothing about, or has nothing at all to do with me.

[Getting white spot cure out of the carpet :o]

i would call a professional carpet cleaner. if anyone can get it out they can.

jae are usually pretty good.

other than that call a carpet layer and have them patch it.

either way it should be fine

[What killies are you breeding?]

Im trying to breed my clowns but getting no eggs... wonder why

Could it be because I have about 30 females and no males? :oops:

bout as much use as my 3 lone males. :-?

at the moment i am successfully breeding:

striatum

eggersi

blue gardenri

[Closing Down 6 Foot Tank Questions]

i wonder if the tank is not level, and the condensation is running to one side then down the side of the tank, making it look like it has a slow leak?

reason this comes to mind is my breeding tanks do this. :roll:

[Planted Aquarium]

nice tank, would be sweet for a pair of discus.

[Fish shop rant]

poor baby, you actually had to make an effort. get a butler if you want to be waited on.

yarimochi if thats your attitude why the hell are you working in retail?

if you want to sulk in the corner and be left alone you need a new job dude.

theres no way i would buy anything from a shop i was treated like this zabman. quite a few times i have walked into a shop(not a fish shop they see me coming) with cash in pocket ready to buy a new appliance or the like, only to walk out again 15-20 minutes later because no one has bothered to even acknowledge me, let alone ask if i needed any help. maybe its because i look like i have no money? just because im a scruffy looking bugger? who knows?

[CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC]

i think livingart and vinson have hit it on the head.

i agree that it was not great having pubs full of smoke.

however pubs now seem to smell of farts and BO now.

think i preferred the smoke.

[What are you reading now and what is your best book?]

reading along came a spider by james patterson at the mo, been reading a lot of his lately.

im also a lee child nut, cant wait for the next one.

others i enjoy are kathy reichs, patricia cornwall, lawrence block, and the list goes on.

looking forward to reading slash's book. thought the anthony keidis one was ok but pretty repetitive. sharon osbourne's one was excellent.

[Our new addition - Name ideas]

hey afrikan, where are you getting your pup from? we are hoping to get a new staffy pup sometime soon, after losing our 8 year old girl earlier this year to a stomach tumor. we have been looking at getting one from warsop, my mate has a boy from them and he is one of the nicest staffs i have come across.

dammit for some reason i cant see the pic.

[anyone going aucks to tauranga]

i may be going up in the next couple of weeks, will let u know

[DJ?]

I didnt know that there was such a thing as a "good" dj :roll:

[Starter Corydoras]

i have bronze ones with my discus at 28-29

seem happy at that temp.

[HELP!!!!]

i would rinse the filter out if it has been unplugged for a while, and do frequent waterchanges until things come right. probably has been off for quite a while if ammonia levels are up and fish are dying.

bad luck, hope the rest of your fish survive

[Discus Breeding tanks]

i think it depends on where the fish has been living, i took a pair from my planted tank and put in a bb to spawn, and they sulked in a corner for 4 months.

put them back in my planted tank, they instantly went back to normal, and spawned 4 days later :evil:

yes bb is easiest to keep clean, but a thin layer of gravel an a potted plant or 2 can work well also

[Cyanobacteria GRRR]

the one i have is the Ethylsuccinate one.

[Setting up a Planted discus tank.]

have to agree with cichlid7 here, I run a tank 30L smaller that dixon's. have quite a few more fish than he wants, and filtered with a cf1200. has been running fine for about 3 years now no problems with ammonia etc.

I do 1/3 waterchange twice weekly.

[Cyanobacteria GRRR]

i have some erythromycin, pm me if you want to pick some up?

[discus with big plec?]

i had a royal whiptail that spent all day chasing the discus and latching on to them. then one day it was dead.

i now have another one that is fine never bothers with the discus.

first one must have been a rouge

[discus+ghost knife=?]

i have a ghosty in with my discus and its fine. pretty much just keeps to itself.
