  2. that about sums it up sorry, wait until they are more coloured
  3. have you tried algae wafers and zucchini sliced have you got algae in your tank
  4. my red shoolders have never shown yellow even when first colouring maybe the lady they bought them off mislaid what tank she had put fry in or something and gave them the wrong fish

  10. i could probaly pull 20 fish at 2cm out of the tank per month
  11. not wise just had an african tank for awhile and have made a few mistakes (learning curve) another problem i have is fish getting chased and wedging themselves face first in gaps because scales stick backwards they sometimes get jammed the rest of the fish clean them up los of nooks and crannies means a high rate of fry survival
  12. can't see why not if you find some still settles there, you can always add a power head
  13. i do weekly about 1/3 i have sited powerhead opposite end to sump intake but amongst the rock aimed to power water through the rocks seems to work alright i pull tank apart once a year, take out rocks, catch fish and syphon off dirty muck edit: tank is 2.4 x 60 x 60 and a lot of big fish, lots of babies

  16. i have been approached by the local forest and bird society to help set up a native fish display at Fieldays 2009: 10 - 13 June 2009! i have a 5 foot tank and stand plus cf1200 canister filter set up one of the local guys can deliver it all over there but wondered if abyone locally could help set it back up and look after it, then break it down again i thought that emptying the water into a 200 litre plastic drum fish into bags and polybox and gravel, plants into buckets then re assembling all on site would work any thoughts ideas etc would be appreciated

  19. try grating the carrot or pompkin it could be an early sign of vitamin A deficiency don't panic if he still won't eat his greens don't give him any pudding or talk to your vet about soluble vitamin A for him a slow wink is as good as a nod to a blind man
