[I had an accident with yeast.... help? suggestions?]

Hi all,

While i was 'yeasting' my microworm cultures, I accidentally knocked the "bread maker yeast" over and spilt about 1/4 of a 120g container in a 27L tank. In a rush and worried, I fished out most of the fish and put them in a bucket, drained about 80% of the tank water and refilled 50% from another tank and 30% new water. I haven't put the fish back in the tank as yet, but there is still my harahara cat and a dwarf rasbora in there. I have the filter and an airstone in there still, trying to filter it out and clear the water.

Have I done all I could to save the tank, fish and filter? or am I looking at the tank crashing over the next few days? Is there anything else I can do to help the situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Fish you've regretted purchasing, selling or not buying]

I regret buying my first fish because it led to a strange addiction for more...

[WTB Blue Gularis Killifish]

Not many people after them as they are so big and better kept in a tank of their own. No demand also ment not many people attempting to spawn them. Unfortunately it's turned into none left. Same story for Austrolebias Nigripinnis

[What fighters are yall breeding at the mo?]

currently experimenting with DT male cross double ray CT female. First fighters I have kept in ages...

[WTB Blue Gularis Killifish]

I don't think these are around anymore, been looking for ages and trying to ask shops to bring them in when they are avaliable

[Filter experiment part 2]

Thanks for posting up this link. Made for interesting reading once I did a bit of research on it. :smln:

I am thinking now of trying this out on my spare tank so I can put my new fighter pair in there.

My question's are, where do you get suitable foam for it? Do you need the PORET foam or any foam?

[if you had one spare tank]

If I had a "spare tank" it would be a planted 27L with nigripinnis

Or planted King Killi tank

[if you had one spare tank]

They are avaliable in Auckland currently have three residing in my tank. Such active fish.

[Recommended fish shops between the bombay hills and Tauranga]

we will check out the shops suggested while we're down there. Guess we are really spoilt for choice in Auckland thanks everyone

[Deliveries between Auckland and Tauranga next week]

Hi all, we are travelling from auckland to tauranga next friday and returning on sunday if anyone wants anything delivered on the way for a donation.

[Recommended fish shops between the bombay hills and Tauranga]

Hi, we are heading down to tauranga next week and we were wondering if anyone could recommend some fish shops to stop by on our travels

you don't have axlerod rasbora yet? lol

[Breeding Danio Erythromicron]

do you have pics of the fry? how big/small are they?

[which fish do you keep?]

I am not trying to cause an argument either but I wouldn't class a strain as pure after only two generations and i certainly wouldn't use the word "resembling" in my definition.

eg I could cross two separate species of Aulonocara and get all the offspring to "resemble the parents" but they would be far from a "pure strain"

Ok, maybe a bad choice of words to try and communicate what I mean. Say my blue black moscows for instance, they were selectively bred over seas until the strain was fixed, then mass bred and exported around the world. I picked up two pairs here when they first became avaliable and bred them in two seperate lines producing only blue black moscows each drop. I am now up to my fourth generation on each line, still only throwing blue blacks. I am confident in my fifth generation where I outcross by swapping my line one females with my line two females will still produce pure blue blacks.

[which fish do you keep?]

Not trying to start an argument or anything, but how do you define a "pure strain"?

Say guppies for instance, you can selectively breed to achieve, as I described, offspring that look like the parents and grandparents etc with same colours, body markings, shape etc. which is what I would describe as breeding pure (no random throwbacks etc) which is when the strain is "fixed"

[which fish do you keep?]

I define pure strain as selective breeding resulting in all offspring resembling the parents and or grandparents

[which fish do you keep?]

Currently breeding pure strains of blue black moscow guppies, green diamond, blue moscows, blonde snakeskins, albino snakeskins, common bristlenose and keeping hara hara catfish, scarlet badis, gertrudes blue eyes.

Congratulations Stu, good to see your success with these little beauties :nfs:

[Giant betta females]

Just a heads up to betta breeders, Bird Barn have giant females in at the moment. Pictured with a normal female in the tank

[Chocolate gourami's]

Yea they are really cute fish, unfortunately Hollywoods said they haven't been on the list for a while

[Chocolate gourami's]

Does anyone still keep or breed these? found it very hard to find any now. I think it was last year Hollywoods had some in a display tank but haven't seen any around for sale.

[WTB Australe and Gardneri (or other killies)]

Hi all,

I am looking for some golden Australe, chocolate Australe, or some of the Gardneri species. Willing to pay for fish and shipping to Auckland.

Also does anyone still keep nigripinnis?

[bug fanatics.... what is it?]

So the ladies of the house found a "weird centipede thing" in the hot water cupboard today, can anyone shed some light on what it is?

[Adding Tanks to overflow series]

I thought so. At this point i'd just be redistrubuting the fish already in the other tanks due to babies needing room to grow
