I wonder what the reserve is??? I saw these but twice the size for $20 in a LFS in hamilton

I think the peaty water is what conditions it but someone else can tell you for sure

Haha I won that first auction, but I definately wouldn't pay anymore than what i paid for it Funny tho coz I keep chucking clumps out coz i don't want it floating, just waiting for a clump I have got stuck on the bottem to take off :lol:

holey, hehe Yea i will put them into then

Just as i thought, I will stick with the platties at this stage then and krib. The substrate are completely different so i will just keep an eye on things.

Yea I do have others. what do you think will be best?? Platties (been in another tank waiting to go on tm) krib large neons swords dwarf gourami -these guys will end up in this tank in the end do you think i should put them in ??? the swords platies and krib would have to be re caught and put into there orginal tank if i used them which could be a problem The biggest anoying thing is I have platties and swords, but they have never been in the same tank and I don't ever want them to be coz i don't way x bred mutants. so finding tank space and keeping them apart is proving difficult :-? thanks for the advice. How often do you do water changes when the tanks cycling? this is the quickest i have ever added fish into a new tank so don't want to stuff it up too

just leave him, anything you do could upset him more. Might last fighter use to do that all the time even after having him for 6months

Wish i was that rich :oops: but they sound very good..... And yep i lost about 10-15 fish and when i think about how much i paid for them it would be between $100 - $130 worth I may as well throw my money away sometimes Anyway I have striped everything and rinsed it (except filter but i'm getting there) just planting all the plants again. I was thinking of throwing in a couple guppies tomorrow to start the cycle but i'm not sure yet. hopefully all will be ok when its all back up and running :roll:

2 hours holey thats a long time

Thanks heaps guys, I caught as many fish as possible tonight and have completely overstocked two other tanks :-? theres still about 4 plattys 100 platy babies and neons and glow light tetras in there that i couldn't catch. I will catch the rest tomorrow and i will strip the tank down and start again :-? :oops: :evil: :roll: I may have to take someone up on that offer but I will do some shifting around first and see what i can do and just keep up water changes, damn all this happening and starting my new job all in the same week

I also like the look of these two Are either of these the tank you have smidey?? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 413143.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 184707.htm

None dead this morning, I think the total recycle idea is a good one....mission but I think it needs to be done. I will check it out when i get home and then make a decision. If theres no more deaths tonight do you still think recycle?? its a bummer i don't need to move the tank anywhere as this would be a perfect time to do so.

Don't sell illegal plants on trademe?? :lol:

I just did about a 70% water change and removed about half of the fish and split them between two of my other tanks. The filter is a mission to clean coz it doesn't have the taps on the hoses thanks to the nice person who sold it to me failed to tell me I might clean the filter on the weekend depending on how they look in the morning. The thing is the fish don't look sick I just keep finding dead ones I hate this He has only shown his face once since we got home sunday and just said oh I hope it isn't anything I did.

and another molly. Crap I really need help here!!!

I just found a dead fighter...... i'm just about to do another water change.....anyother ideas??? Do you think i should clean out the jebo 819?? I may use the feeding blocks in future

Hmmmmmm I might ask the seller to post a photo of the underside then, THANKS

Yea they were thanks for everyones kind words, but no one make the mistake i did PLEASE!! How long is the longest that people leave there fish unfed for??? And what do you think of the slow release feeding blocks??

Yea most my tanks are the pre made ones I have 3 aqua one tanks and 1 jebo. If i did use it for turtles i wouldn't use the filter in the top, i use a canister. But theres a problem now that i just thought of!!! I may have to cut holes to fit the filter in and out take tubes, but i don't want to not be able to use the filter at a future date :-? :-? I don't really mind if theres a filter in the lid or not but I like the idea of the built in lights 8) Anyone know if any suppliers like aqua one etc etc make tanks 5 or 6 ft?? or even just bigger than 300ltrs???

5 or 6 cm's you can see the bristles growing but yea just get some babies and if you end up with more boys just swap with someone on here or sell on trademe. You should be able to get them for about $10ish dollars each

Or anyone have any pic's or tanks forsale that are 350ltrs or bigger forsale, I really like the hooded tanks that come with the matching stands etc but not really worried to much. I'm thinking instead I could upgrade one of my 300ltr tanks that have fishies in it and use there current tank for the turtles instead hehe good sneaky way to upgrade one of my tanks without my b/f getting grumpy cos he know the turtles need a new tank hehe. Cummon someone please help me out. Even if its just pics of tanks that people own so i can see whats around.

YUP THATS A GBA, THEY ARE GREAT GET SOME OF THOSE SAME SIZE AS NORMAL BN'S EXCUSE THE CAPS :oops:

Anyone got one of these ??? or have anything good or bad to say about them??? I'm thinking about getting it for my 2 turtles its a down size from the 5ft they are in but the tanks my parents and they will be finally picking it up in december :-? Or anyone know of any better deals??? I kinda want a 4ft at least but I will check out anything at this stage..... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... d=77794058

opps trying to read too many at once :oops:

lol yea I should post a pic of the poo my plec leaves JEEZZZZ what a mess!!!!!! Heres just a pic of him in the mean time, he is in with my turtles. I definately recommend getting a BN aswell I have about 6 of them too and a few GBA's too which are very nice if your after something different
