ok sounds good the reason I ask is not about bacteria in a plant tank but about particles in the water coloum but sounds like you have it covered Nav

Looking good Si, Just wondering are you adding any other mechanical filtration to your sump? seems a bit light in the filtery bits Nav

Hmmm I have heard that some where before Alan? People should read Raymond Opinhimers books

Not sure of type Aulanocara Red Shoulder from Living Art maybe 3 years ago?

Not a work in progress as unfortunately I lost these guys but thought I would share anyway as a favourite fish

well I only have 2 things to say really :nfs: and !drool:

I have 2 10000k bulbs sandwhiching a 15000k bulb and get great growth on one of my tanks

welcome aboard always great to have another cichlidiot on the forums Nav

LOL Comps in work tank Also S. panamense bred again last night...hope to get fry to at least 6 weeks this time...lmao Back to green water and egg on a rock me thinks will try get more photos tonight

yes 2 of 6 gold heads holding breath for a couple more soonish Meh is right very bad quality photso sorry

welcome sorry to hear of yoru losses Nav

inspired by all the photos of late sorry for poor quality Nav Mates tank was SA set up last taken down 10 years ago...now low tech planted tank on the sunny west coast

7 days a week 4-5 x a day depending on fish

was not as good looking as Katherine Jenkins But both sounded spectacular well pleased also well pleased I was not the only prop forward in the audience...lmao rum was expensive tho

if it becomes moist and weepy then it may be a sign of spreading infection for sure. But it may also be a sign of returning vascularity depending on many things. In infection it is true to make a dics of your self ( same for a Fracture actually) Discolouration inflamation (heat swelling redness and exudate) circulation and sensation ( pain numbness etc) I in saying this would still treat area as viable until proven otherwise until a point. A simple cut will tell you if tissue sub integimentry is viable. Another thing you could try is QID chlorhex or saline soaks but again risk as adding mositure to potentially non viable tissue Is there an odour at all? Navarre

a dream or are you halucinating again RJ?

just as long as you dont go looking for the golden rivet and explains a certain oil slick

sage +1

ok so peroxide and iodine work by being cytotoxic peroxide is a bleaching agent what they do is decimate the cell structure they contact and then you hope that natural cells and bacteria in healthy quanities return if feeding abs then also try gutloading with probiotics abs will strip the gut lining and stop absorption of micro nutrients also increase protein content of food along with vitamins D E C A to help with wound healing You could use ionised silver...NOT coloidal silver I have had success with a couple of Tuts that have that weird flesh rot that they get on their feet of late with good ol plane and simple UV these animals were young...about 7 or 8 and there were 6 that had that red rash and scally lumpy rot that they get like toe jam that spreads up their legs...you know what I mean....anyway I simply built a wire grill that a box could sit over then I placed a UV lamp under the gril put the tut on the grill and left it there for about 10 mins x2 a day. Watch grill doesnt get hot but animals within UV range. UV kills the bugs. Drys the wound. and promotes synsthesis of they above Vitamins that help promote wound healing. UV in non UV dependant herpts in not that big a deal for this short a period. Do not re hydrate the black area as this will cause the areas to rot as there may be inadequate blood supply to heal a necrosed area. This may be a saving grace as no blood in = no blood out therefore no cytotoxins reaching the kidneys to cause them to fail. The UV treatment is slow but worth a go. failing that lop it off as per Alan ? as if sheding then ? shed is incomplete and constricture at tail is causing tail rot

The albinos are interesting that they have the barring some albino strains loose all colour but some do not they look like nice fish and have also kept their shape again depending on what albino type you look at is another "fault"...lol

there are some nice mountain clouds about short and long fins and normals and golds they might be ok?

meh
