I thought tape worms, are really rare in fish, I didn't think they grew that long, and I thought tape worms are flat ...but i'm a learnery so dont quote me.

before I stick my hand all the way up, what are the goings on at these clubs?

Man the water in the bucket was SO! black with stuff sucked off the bottom. , the tank got down to 1/3 full so I stopped, should i do the same again tomorrow? feed them 2 Wardley Shrimp Pellets and JBL Novo Color flakes at about 6-50am, then between 4pm and 5pm, then at between 9pm and 10 blood worms once a week JBL novo pleco chips, one in the morning, and one at night. Or two at night and none in the morning. I think it may have Zucchini (sp*) I left in there 2 days :oops:, I know not to leave it in more than a few hours now.

cheers thanks.

in that case should I do another water change and siphon more out?

OK well I pretty much ignore what everyone said, and did a water change (under guidance of my LFS), still only fed the fish a small amount once a day. and didn't add any chemicals other than aqua plus and TLC with the water change. The water I took out or the stuff I sucked of the bottom smelt really bad, is that normal? anyways the water isn't cloudy anymore, but it still has a lot of particles in the water, I think its algae as it stuck to the side of the tank after only a few hours. from a distance it looks fine. So what do I do? Its a head turner, sorry forgot to rotate the image.

but what about the north shore sterotype :roll:

kinda confusing, I'd be keen to join. And I can pick you up...if thats what your asking. when you say two, do you mean 2? or too? or to? :-?

When they have fry, I'll try save them from my being eaten, Most the females are still pregnat from before i got them. So I don't know who the daddy is.

This is my first tank, so comment much appreciated http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/andrew ... 21003.html

Tested water today, and everyting is "A" ok

hmm, you don't mean* stop feeding them for a week right?

No idea what that is so I guess not. But I did notice that something dug up a fertilizer ball. But i covered it back up straight away.

I use www.imageshack.us borwse for your photo, then from the down click the size you want to make it, click up load, then from the options, copy the direct link, its the one at the bottom. then past the link into the code: [img] then your image url [/img] If you have photos and don't know the direct link, right click them, click properties, then copy the link.

Cheers at least I dont have to do anything. And I don't think I'll be adding anymore fish, apart from a pair of blue rams. All the fish appear happy. I live in a small apartment...direct sunlight? whats that :lol: Thanks for the help. Shall keep you updated on progress.

You mean like waiting a week between fish? Got the 5 guppies the day after i set it up then around about 2-3 fish every 5 days

Too many :oops: um 18 I think, 11 are guppies

Tank is 60L and been going 1 month. I clean the sponge in water from the tank, and i don't touch the noodles. Did you mean, you would* get the water checked? I have had it checked, the last check was Thursday or Friday, I check it every time I get new fish. And I didn't use Aqua plus when I used Nuetral reg, I did use TLC though. So i should do less water changes?

I have had small particles drifting around in my tank, I have done two doses of "clear particulate" over the last 24hours, and it has not improved, if anything its gotten worse. What should I try now? My filter is like a sponge, then noddles, and my sponge is due for its fortnightly clean at the end of the week. Should I do a water change and filter clean now? I do a 1/4 to 1/3 water change weekly. a filter clean every two weeks. the water is currently been treated with: Clear Particulate. had two double doses of flourish excel in the last 24hours (to get rid of black hairy stuff) along with recommended dose at water changes. TLC and Aqua plus, with every water change and seachem pH 7.0 Neutral regulator, which I 1st used last Sunday with water change. had the tank 1 month, to the day. Thanks in Advance
