  1. dang and no camera at the moment but I just had to tell someone. :bounce:
  2. yeah sorry they're only a couple of mm at the moment but I've seen them get up to 1.5cm.
  3. ok I managed to get a pic hopefully this helps This is the small breeder tank which got infested after I move a couple of snails from the big tank.
  4. Thanks for the tips, I'll look into them
  5. Until recently I've had baby goldfish in there (moved into a pond at when they reached 2"). I guess they were keeping the worms under control. I would love to have school of Galaxy Rasboras cos they're just what I've been looking for tiny, brightly coloured and hardy (from what I've read).
  6. Maybe in time they'll be cheaper and more popular than common goldfish. I hope
  7. The first one I made up I didn't leave enough empty space in the bottle :oops: . The last one I forgot to secure and the cat knocked it over and jello got everywhere :oops: Oh to have pressurised one day :bounce:
  8. I know I only did it as a once off because of how many worms there were. I'm using it till I find time to mix a jello CO2 reactor (sounds flash :lol: ). That and I thought it'd help the plants use up the excess nutrients maybe possibly . Yeah I'm trying to decide between harlequin rasbora and white cloud mountain minnows
  9. Nope, they dont look like the photos of planaria. The ones in my tank are super thin and 1-1.5cm long and a redish colour. I gravel vac'd and emptied out 90% of the water and wiped the glass dry. I removed all the equipment and washed them in scolding hot water and rinsed with cold water. I rinsed the java moss covered driftwood and dosed the tank with flourish excel.
  10. It's a snail only tank so I guess the culprit *sp* is the slice of cougette I left in there when I went away for a few days. I'll gravel vac and do a w/c each day. Should I put a fish in there for a few days too?
  11. Last night I when I went to bed my tank was crystal clear and looking quite good. When I woke up this morning the water was discoloured and there were thousands of tiny worms swimming through the water, all over the glass and my snails. Alone they look white and are about 1cm long but clustered together they look redish. Any idea of what they are, where they came from and how to get rid of them.

    Hi everyone

    Hi everyone, I'm from the wet and windy wairarapa. I have recently converted to live plants and will be converting to tropical soonish. I'm looking at buying a small school of harlequin rasbora and was just wondering if anyone has had much experience with them.
