I sold a red tiger oscar to te LFS for $15.00. It was around the 25cm mark. I brought it for $10.00.

Kept guppies with oscars. Makes for one very happy oscars. Guppy lifespan with oscar, seconds.

BN's are hard to catch when there is nothiing in the tank. Try putting there food on the net and wait for them to eat.

yeah. my girlfriend likes to eat them too.

Can anyone tell me what, freshwater crayfish like to eat. I was thinking about keeping some with my daphnia over winter.

Try having it so that the filter output is braking the water surface, it may help to get the scum to mix with the water colunm and then get filtered.

If you don't want to use a air type filter, then try a small internal filter with a sock or stockings over the intake of the filter. I have done that with a shark internal filter.

Also guppies like to have a bit of salt in the water, upto 1 tsp per 4.5ltrs. Not everyone does this, it's a personal choice. Try to have two females to one male, sometimes if you only got males they will start fighting. Or if too few females, the females never get a break. I have been told guppies like the Ph around 7.2. Have lots of plants and things in the tank, so if any do want some time out they can find some place to hide. Some guppies do like sleepong and sword plants at night.

It could be possible that all life living in the gravel have died off and are now rotting away. You may want to strip and clean the tank.

Start with an empty tank and full it up with a 10 bucket. Count the number of buckets it took to fill.

Does Hex and flukes have a free swimming stage. If so would the uv steriler kill them off at this stage.

Or is there a better why to sterile a tank without killing the plants.

I need to sterlise my main tank. Just wondering if anyone knows if sodium meta will kill off my plants. There is no fish in the tank at the moment. If I do put fish in the main tank they become very sick within 24hrs. Water parameters check out okay, so I think Sterlising is the main course at the moment and start over again. If I can leave the plants in with the sodium meta that would be good, kill off any germ that they maybe harbouring.

sorry to hear about that nicmack. Please keep us updated on your discuses.

Blueandkim. With the 20l dip, how many tablets in the bucket? With the 1/4 tablet mixed with food, how many times do you feed them this? And what Strengh drontral is it?

Who is/are Kongs. Have you got a web address or e-mail for them. I'll try and contact them.

intestinal worms

Hello, Would like to hear peoples experinces with dog wormer tablets with there fish. I tried it last weekend. What a disaster. Most fish have died and I am thinking the rest will be going that way soon. I used the Billy Peach lifecycle Ultra all wormer 50mg prazi 225mg Oxibendazole Dose was 2 tablets per 50 ltrs. All fish stop eating. Seem like it burn there gill and skin. they started to develop fungus on the fins. I did twice daily water changes to dilute the meds but too late. Then dosed with melafix and white spot cure to try and reduce the fungus growth. The fungus is gone but the fish are still dying off. Feeling rather upset and guilty at the moment, have killed off all my fish.

Oscars do do the oddest things. I have heard that some will lay on there side and play dead, just waiting from some little fish to be suckered in and be gobbled up.

Hello, was wondering, where did you get the trichozole from. And how hard is it on the fish and filter?

Females have a fat gut. The males are thinner/ more slender. Males are said to be more colorful.

Does the UV filters kill off the good beneficial bacteria .

Sorry Alan

Alan, why would you believe somebody would be asking about Rimus in the aquatic plant section of this forum. I don't believe I have ever seen a rimu growing underwater.

The BN's don't eat my plants either. You don't need any wood either. Just feed them pleco tabs, It's got the wood componet in it.
