  1. Just put my O in a tank with a large Plec and a couple of B/N should the B/N be OK, sometimes looks like the O is stalking them and theyre hiding all the time now (used to sim around heaps. Should I give them time to adapt or move thembefore they get wasted :evil: Any thoughts????

    Spots on molly

    I have a white molly that has a spot under its skin that started off black but has grown and become more of a lump and lost the blackness(kind of hard to explain :-? ) but also had a red lump come up on the tail end of its body which went away and now looks like another coming up on its side no other fish in the tank have any probs but wondering if I should seperate it from the rest???????????????? has been like this for a while and dont want an epidemic :evil: Any ideas

    CORYS

    Well my BN ate all the eggs That were in my community tank and the ones in my mothers tank got cleaned out, might set up my spare 4 foot tank when the females get fat again or can I put them in a tank with a sand/fine bottom :-? as my baby molly/platy tank might be the go (unless they eat the eggs 2?)

    CORYS

    how do you know if theyre pregnant???
  16. Just read this coloumn hope the Angels get some survivors in the next lay Mat
  17. Can you use crushed up sea shells (from the beach) as a filter media instead of noodles. I know oyster shells raise the PH, what about normal Pipi shells etc? My PH is about 6.6 so neds to come up a bit! Just sick of buying noodles every time I set up a new filter and could be a free source of PH up and bacteria home?
  18. As the title says, Id like to know if there are any plants that like minimal light, my computer room tank (the dark tank) has the light off most of the time and it gets very little sunlight. But would like a little greenery to help with natural filtration. (will have to be hardy as my large Plec used to knock the plants around in my planted tank)

    BURPING PLEC

    my large common plec has started comeing to the surfface and letting out a burping/gulpingnoise is this common?
  22. DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD ASK HERE OR PLANTS but I turned down the flow on my waterfall type filter and added some aqua master plant food one day later the noodles in the filter look brown (the same colour as the plant food) Should I be worried)
  23. Also could changing from tap water to rain water cause more algae?
  24. Can anyone tell me where to get some decent soil/base for my planted tank (cheap or free from a river )?. the plants are looking sad and Im going to try to do it properly this time. just ordered 2 BIOLUX 58w tubes (5ft) 2L of flourish and some algae rid (gettin green stones and leaves-Yu ck :cry Should I start with new plants ore can plants recover/theyre not dead or falling to bit just lost there exubirance
