  1. They should survive for 10 days without any problems (always better to underfeed than overfeed)
  2. in my opinion gourami are not a beginner fish. I also think the freezer method is probably the best.I have read that humans actually feel warm and cozy when they get close to death in freezing conditions, I think this is why they try to keep you awake under such circumstance, no one has died and lived to tell which is the best way to die which means this conversation is going nowhere,which means do it whichever way makes you feel less guilty.
  3. sounds like she has had her fun and kicked him out :lol: "fanning" the fish will hover a bit like a helicopter in one place using their gills to generate movement over the eggs.
  4. Prepare yourself for a culture shock it is a very poor country but the people are very nice. I went to Apia (Kitano Tusitala) but all the best beaches are on the other side of the island. Everyone goes by taxi as they are very cheap and prices outside of hotels also cheap.
  5. It could be a bacterial problem I suggest you go to the search site and google "swim bladder" and see how other people have dealt with it.

    Fluval 404 would be my choice.
  8. I could take it if price is realistic.
  9. Guppies,platties and swordtails are always in demand at pet shops but the biggest seller so I have been told by a couple of shop owners are comets (goldfish).
  10. I agree with snookie and their is a big world out there,if you go about it the right way a genuine employer would understand.
  11. It is a very good shop with lots of tanks , definitely worth a visit and I think someone recently posted that they have a sale on at present.
  12. I thought you said they laid 3 weeks ago and they got to the fry stage, so how long from eggs being laid to fry being eaten? How many tank mates and how big is the tank?
  13. How long after eating the fry to laying eggs?
  14. I would wait untill they become free swimming.The reason they ate them last time (in my opinion) is because they wanted to lay more eggs and saw the fry as a threat.
  15. I have been trying to give them away for months and up till now only 1 person has accepted my offer and took 8.
  16. A very merry xmas to all and a happy new year.
  17. My daughter rang me to ask if everything was ok but we never felt a thing, funny that cos she only lives 20k North of Taupo.
  18. Mosquito fish are taboo some people call them killer guppies they are quite widespread and illegal. These fish are most definitely an unwanted organism. If they are on the property you would do well to eradicate them.

    I use 1 in the same room as my discus tank without any probs. But not in close proximity.
  20. Haha! I am a soft touch and If you want to offload I will give you what you paid plus 50% of transport costs and try to give them a good home.
  21. Are they cheaper if called sea monkeys?
  22. Could you replace the impeller? ( never heard of Resun Magic)
  23. You could always silicone it to the base.
