  1. Hey, question from the newbie here. :oops: What are the benefits of white worm culture and what types of fish eat it? Cheers
  2. I have clown loaches and they are pretty peaceful fish. None of my Tetras have lost their eyes either. In a shop I think 10cm clown loaches would be about $15 each. Am I right anyone???
  3. I totally agree, just when you buy some fish and think right no more, the next day you start thinking about the next addition
  4. Hey I just had a question michael, do you find that your fighter gets along alright with the sword tails? Just considering them myself. Though everyone in my tank has been chosen if they would get along with my fighter lol
  5. Hey firespook, this is only a recommendation, I don't really have anything to say about Animates. But Critter Kingdom which is about a k down Blenhim Rd is a shop I'd recommend. If you are willing to go further there is also Organism down the far end of Ilam rd. I've been out of Christchurch for a year now so things may have changed mind you. Good luck.
  6. Hey and Welcome to the forums
  7. hey Matt, Very sad to hear about your loss. People like that can really make ya insane with rage. :evil: Hope the survivors are making a recovery, would like to hear how they are doing. Best of luck.

    Hi everyone

    hey hey welcome Tui, I spent lots of $$$ on Tui as a student
  9. hehe, yea mine swim up the corner of the tank too. Mine are a bit shy, but hopefully in time they will warm up to me. I can just imagine a CL swimming upside down to eat food off the surface of the water :lol:
  10. I noticed that Bettas weren't on the previous list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betta Couldn't help myself.
  11. Also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fr ... sh_species
  12. Yea, they look healthy to me. No whitespot or anything that would indicate that they aren't. Mine also sometimes sit on the log, lay on their sides and generally chase each other around the tank. They really are an interesting fish to watch for behavior.
  13. When you say Tropical do you mean fresh or salt water? Fresh water fish won't come from coral reefs. Any particular breeds of fish you want info on? If you do then try a search on Wikipedia (http://wikipedia.org/) I'm sure there is a tsunami of info there.
  14. Hey all, I've read and seen my clown loaches lying on their sides when they are just chillin out. But has anyone else seen their loaches hovering vertically, sometimes on the corner of the tank. I have 4 and I've seen all of them do this at some stage. All the fish look healthy but was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this behavior? To be honest it looks quite cute when they do it, a bit like a puppy standing up to get attention :lol: Cheers.
  15. I'm not really a big plant person myself. IMO that set up looks really cool.
  16. Does anyone have a pic they could post up, I'm curious to see what these guys look like.
  17. ouch, that sucks. I was in Chch last year, but only had goldfish at the time so didn't really know any of the places to go. I did however wander into Organism which was a really cool store IMO.
  18. In the Stuff article it says that he thought they were Dyed and not GM. Though I've also read somewhere that dying fish is pretty cruel to the fish itself.
  19. It's crazy how he got Raided, it just sounds a bit excessive to me.
  20. I think they got tipped off when the guy was selling them on Trademe.
  21. It's sad enough when a fish dies or is put down because it is unhealthy, but having your fish put down just like that is really sad.
  22. Hehe, I just posted an topic with a link to stuff.co.nz. http://www.stuff.co.nz/4133397a11.html?source=email
  23. http://www.stuff.co.nz/4133397a11.html?source=email I didn't realise that it was such a big deal.
  24. Cool cheers guys. I have been washing the sponges in the tap until now, but when I do I don't do a gravel vac. The reasoning behind that was that if I'm flushing out the bacteria in the filter, I'm not sucking out the bacteria from the gravel. But will do a rinse out in the tank water. Do you find that the gunk just makes a mess in the tank though?
  25. Hey, I'm just wondering how often people clean out their filters. I was advised not to do it too often as it gets rid of the bacteria in the filter, but I find that my filter gets clogged up with a slimy brown gunk pretty quick (2 weeks) shortly after it does't really have the guts to suck water through because the pads are full said brown gunk (4 weeks). BTW it is a Fluval 4 i think.
