you may need to empty his pouch of air i use a darning needle with a blunt end or tweezers with a blunt end keep the horse under water holding the horse in one hand with my thumb and index finger either side of his pouch gently insert the needle or tweezers into the join at the top of the pouch don't insert too far, gently open the pouch while applying light pressure to squeeze the pouch you should see air bubbles rise from the opening let it go and observe how it swims you may need to repeat procedure one of the reasons i use a deeper tank is to avoid the males when mating injesting air into the pouch as they hit the surface also some can trap air when when sitting in an air stone stream

smallesy i have seen in the galv is 12mm square through wrightsons or RD1

the amount of time you give your new fish to adjust to their new water conditions can be the difference between whitespot or no whiespot so not necessarily the shops fault have you checked the fish still instore to see if they have it also?

Hi spaceman welcome to the forums enjoy your stay

that is a possibility Caryl it may also be hormonal or the fact that there are no ladies around as well and he doesn't want to breed

your horses will do it again a taller tank will help it took me 3 goes to start getting some through good to seen you are keen to try again perseverance will win the day some good reading here at seahorse.org http://www.seahorse.org/library/article ... Farm.shtml

looking at the cere that is a possibility it is hard to pick on pieds with a lot of white around head area as some males in that colour line never develop a blue cere when young it had a pink cere which is an indication of a male and a more outgoing personality than the rest females talk as well just not as much as males, time will tell

thanks fruju got caught with my pants down :oops: too much work not enough workers it is all spotless now tanks take up 2 hours a day and during the holidays it is hard to find 2 hours

the crusts off your toast, sweetcorn, a little broccoli, silverbeet, grass seed heads willow, fruit tree branches to chew on, rose buds, apple cores keep on offering bits as there preference can change as the get older

positive ID of silvestris catus can be confirmed by the teeth having remnants of yellow feathers in them, they also emit bubbles that when they reach the surface and pop the words "suffering soccatash" can be heard

i agree the ID is questionable but who can be really be 100% positive from a photo i agree it does look like a koi tortoiseshell but i think sending a piece of the tail away for analysis is the only way to be completely sure

they sometimes walk a long way overland in the dry season looking for a new waterhole

you know your water ph is really out of whack when the fish try to leave the tank

i use a whitebait net PM your adress and i will try and send you some
