HaNs

Iv used bleach Tried PP in my native tank today and will see how that goes

I do 50% changes from the tap. I dont use ager now Saves time and $$

LOL legend Next will be the 42 below bottle

Get some pistol shrimp while your at it

You talking about cleaning before use? Thats exactly what i did Its not hard, just siphon/scoop it out Plecos are poooooooo machine's

Fishkeeping has cost me more than rc drifting did lol Real car on the other hand :roll:

On rcdrift.org?

I was being sarcastic lol Should be fine with sand and shouldn't eat it A mate had one on the same sand as i use

Yep. As long as it doesn't have a fetish of eating sand

I use beach sand, i wash it before use

Changed/added any different foods of late? Combination of heat and surface movement bringing the old "scum" to the surface? Never worked for myself what causes it :-?

Also not all fish grow at the same rate. I have platties that are twice the size of their siblings

Edit: Beat me to it ^^ Tested the water parameters? Ph and ammonia and the such? (Reference re fish dieing) How big is the tank? What fish? How long has it been set up for? When you fill up the tank do you make sure not to disturb the gravel/fert? Got any driftwood in your tank?

Any chance of photo's?

Good read http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/w ... mistry.php Not sure on the long winded explanation on kh in relation to ph so ill let someone else explain or quote from google

1. People use things like news paper/tiles/sand anything the young ones cant eat. Sometimes the young eat sand and it messes them up inside, so thats why 2. Dno lol, for a short period yes....depends on growth rate and how big it is currently(but im a not a expert) 3. If you keep the tank clean(pick up poo and things) they shouldn't smell My 2c

How many fish we talking? IMO its a good idea Interesting to see the water quality at the end of it Maybe find another fish keeper to feed them for you? Do the same thing if they go away?

Try Standen ave in Remuera for eels

Yes................. Huge, 6ft plus. They take years to get to full size (50+yrs)

http://www.doc.govt.nz/templates/page.aspx?id=33225 For ID's I hand feed my small eel bloodworm. Bullies i feed defrosted blood worms and water bugs when i can find them(larvae and the such out of stagnant water)

Just platties ATM Will have a got at Bullies and see what my dats do

Nokia E65 + 2gb micro sd = my mp3 player/phone/computer/internet browser Go for a ipod!

Depends of the size of the pattie They look like young trout to me(from my experience :roll: ) Better put them back asap

Check spca/dog pound(fish pound?) to see if they have been picked up

Depends on the mounting of the gbox and engine http://www.nzhondas.com/phpBB2/ will know Also depends on what tools/equipment/hoists you have
