I dont know whether it is illegal or not but i would pressume that they would require quite a large tank

Well i got three more khulis today and they're wrigglin everywhere I was wondering what is the opinion on Dwrf Gouramis. Are they very weak and die a lot? Would i be better off looking for some honey gouramis? Also will harlequins become nippy towards gouramis and my betta? Thanks :bounce:

I think i have double/triple vision :lol:

what a neat idea :bounce: - I think i will try get some real bamboo plants though Thanks Meesheelly - I am working on getting some asian plants have polysperma and green pine and rotala. Am looking to get some crypts - I see blue has some on TM. Thanks for the idea :bounce:

Heya I've had my 100L tank set up for 6 weeks now and I'm looking for ideas of what to stock it with. I want preferably small peaceful fish and imthinking maybe try to keep it asian - Dwarf Gouramis, cherry barbs, Loaches and Harlequins I currently have A Khuli - getting some more buddies for it this week A Male Betta - Red 3 Albino Cories Will Dwarf Gouramis, cherry barbs and Harlequins go okay in with the Betta? I think SAEs and glass catfish will get too big What other small asian fish do people keep? Or what else do you think I should add? Thanks :bounce:

mine are always peaceful

any fish that could have injured/been bullying it?

yea theres quite alot around. Have heard of but have never kept them at room temp. The were some other cold water catfish that i saw but i cant remember the name :-?

lol my bad then :bounce: so you shouldnt always trust the internet

I have read that carbon does not leech what it has absorbewd unless fired at 300 degrees+ dont know if this is true - or different to what MLF has said

I have heard that axolts (spelling :? ) eat gravel - may be a cause of bloating. No doubt you already know that I myself dont have any - but they are interesting creatures

You use it to take medications out of the water - it is not needed always

oops :oops: my bad. I missed that bit

so do the young fall off when they hatch?

never mind i have found out

How do they breed?

I dont have a digital camera so i cant get a pic sorry the tank has been goinfg five weeks now and 70l of the 100 were aready matured from my old tank. i also ran my small internal in there to help with the maturation. The new fluval should be almost mature now - im guessing. I had been trying to lower the ph with water changes I will slow the flow which is not very fast but will see if this helps

Hi Guys I recently brought a betta a week and a half ago. At first he was showing off his fins and acting really normal but about a week after buying him i noticed his fins were 'rolled up' I have carried out two 20% water changes for the last three days to try pull the ph back which is comming close to six due to the tannin from my driftwood. The only other things i have done different was remove the tetras and feed him bloodworm. He is now in a 100l with 4 corys and a khuli He is still feeding but i want to get the nice fins back Any help is appreciated

the fins actually appear rolled up :-? It is in a 100l with 4 corys and a khuli loach. I have a feeling the ph is too low as my driftwood leeches alot of tannin Have put a topic in the fresh section - http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/betta- ... 15334.html

Hi guys I recently brought a Betta for a week now he has been fine showing off his nice fins but today his fins are different, they seem to be folded over. Has anyone had this happen - I think its because of the way he rests in my plants Will this correct itself? THanks for your help

just a question cos i've neva heard of fish shows. does everyone bring their own tanks? or what? :bounce:

I have figured it is none other than Plantman

well ive placed a bid on some plants on trademe. A guy from auckland seems to sell alot and has good feedback. Does anyone know who Henry23 is? does he use this forum? anyway looking at some indian fern, rotala macranda, polysperma, red and green pine. thats about it for now :bounce:

are you still havin the bbq jude? :lol:

I know that three spot, dwarf and lace/pearl gouramis do i dont think the kissing ones do though
