We discovered about 5 litres of water on the floor next to our tropical community tank last night and am puzzled to where it came from. After a quick check of the tank we couldnt find any cracks or leaks. The venturi had a few drops of water in it and have figured it must have been that. The tank has an air stone situated pretty close to the the pump intake. Could the air from the air stone have made the venutri back syphon? The tube from the air pump has a check valve and hadnt been turned off?? HELP!

Have just cleaned out my tank and seperated my large java fern into three plants. This is my Community tank before http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s190 ... 0_0133.jpg This is what it looks like now http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s190 ... altank.jpg Just wondering what Background plant I could put behind the wood on the left?? Its looking a bit bare. Tall plants tend to bend with the current and dont have enough Vallisneria to spread out along the back. Help!

Bought three new Orandas from Crystal Water fish farm in Upper Hutt today. Already showing headgrowth at 5months old. For any fan of fancy goldfish I recommend you go there. Lots and LOTS of healthy fish in ponds or vats in a huge shed. Awesome prices on fish and Jebo tanks. Plus a friendly owner :lol: Heres a few pics of the fish we bought. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s190 ... bies-1.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s190 ... k/Fihn.jpg Its right next to Staglands. Cant miss it. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

awwww thanks. Ive just put my female gourami back in the main tank today. She seems happier that hes not there Lol

Was she pre-1985?? I was only born 2 years before so not sure

Think i'd have to be Princess toadstool LOL :lol: :lol:

My male dwarf gourami died. In a previous thread i posted that he had a lump we couldnt diagnose. Since then it had burst so we put him in a quarantine tank with furan 2. He seemed to be getting better with the sore healing but found him head standing and half dead when we got home. Upon looking in the tank 5 mins ago found him floating at the top dead Since He was head standing, did he die of internal parasites and not the lump? Or both?

Hey. Just found a book at the library today that may interest amazon fish/biotype fans. Its a BBC Wildlife mag (April '05) talking about a doco they made called Amazon Abyss. Lots of talk about tetras and knifefish and extra large catfish plus a few pics. The Magazine website is: http://www.bbcwildlifemagazine.com/

finally went to hutt pets. Ive decided i want oscars after seeing them for the first time for sale in a store...so cute!! Tank and equipment prices are pretty good to. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ive heard good things about Hutt Pets. What kind of coldwater fish do they sell? (or any fish for that matter :lol: ) Any fancy variaties?

oh no...ive got no room for any more. Looks like they'll be on trade me in a little while...thats if i dont get attached to them.

Hey. Ive got 5 female and 1 male mollies that are 7months old in a tank together. One female is looking rather plump and is hiding in the floating plants in the tank. What age are Mollies able to breed??

oh good... Have only had the heater for less than 5 months. I didnt know how handy this forum could be...any advice ive asked for at a pet store is always followed up by "or..you could buy one of these instead" Cheers

I have a 50watt Eheim heater that im using in a hospital tank and have noticed condensation on the inside of it. Should i be worried that my fish will get electrocuted?

Yes i put it behind sum cabomba plant i have in the background in my tank. Felt a bit funny about attaching it to my venturi outlet in my jebo as I thought it may reduce the oxygen level in the tank (am still not sure) Have you had positive results attaching it to your venturi?
