What is a 150/0 wc ?
-
I will be there in some capacity depending on job situation.

The problem could be stress related.Known cures for whitespot (ick) are Acriflavin,Quinine and Malachite green. Duration of cure is 3 weeks. Raising the temp (3 weeks) also helps as it speeds up the cycle.

Fingers crossed, hope it works out.

They do take live fish, but they will not accept insurance claims.

Sounds like you are having fun evil. Glass is a very poor conductor of heat.

Approx.5-6 cm would be about right imo.

I agree with the above but do not buy them too small or you risk losing them.

I went into spotlight Rotorua yesterday and they wanted $18 for a piece of wadding 1.5metres long by 200mm wide and 20mm thick. (filter wool at lfs is cheaper)

I think your tank is way too small for discus, imo you need at least 200ltr plus as discus are better in groups.

The blackout method worked for me.

Small poly box from plastic box then ring NZ couriers on their 0800 number ( they deliver anywhere in the country overnight except rural) and remember to keep the weight to a minimum as the cost to the North Island is about $27 for every 5 kg or .025 cu metre. Within Island costs about $14 every 5kg or .025cu metre.If you can get it into a 'pp' bag about $20 anywhere in NZ no weight restrictions apply.

If you buy little bala sharks it is a good excuse to buy a bigger tank. :lol:

Has anyone considered that saprolegnia could be the problem? Septicemia is very uncommon and usually attacks (wounded) goldfish.If the problem is septicemia it is usually caused by poor water quality and kills within 1 week. 6.5-7.2ph 0 ammonia and anti biotics are a known cure. Saprolegnia is known to attack kissing gouramies and malachite green is a known cure. This information was googled from several web sites and not from personal experience.

Bala sharks.

It is always better to under feed than to over feed so that should work fine as long as the neighbour knows how much food to give, might pay to leave an example for the neighbour. Turning the lights off should also be ok providing you do not have any plants that need a huge amount of light.
-
I suggest you do some water tests then do a water change, if water tests ok for ph etc. maybe you have external parasites your lfs( there is a very experienced one in your area) should be able to give you sound advice and whatever meds required. They are normally open Sundays.

Or would that be a thousand and 2

That is a nice looking tank candy love the red discus.

I know it is too late for your ram but according to my fish disease book "flubendazol & acetone or dmso,flubenol 5%" is a solvent used for gill, skin and intestinal worms.

Gatito why not ring them cost of transport would not be that much $12 approx in multiples of 5kg.

The chances are that the angels will eat the eggs so whichever suits best either isolate eggs or fish. Otherwise watch and learn.

Hi African I honestly would not know but I was having problems with fish dying daily even though I tried medication untill I added the uv (It may be coincidental but I do not think so).
