hi henward ammonia comes out of the back end of the fish, poos and wees the gills are used to take in oxygen from the water that is passed over them fish can drown when there is no dissolved oxygen in the water or the gill filaments are coated or collapse ie when they are taken out of water increasing the surface disturbance in the tank will help to increase dissolved oxygen in the water

good name for a jardini mine is barrie mundi

good thing about the forum though is there is usually more than one person around to do a correction

it may not be your problem but a few years ago i had the same situation with a tank i was running we tried everything with no success, we eliminated every cause one by one until we were left with no reason for fish dying eventually i stripped the tank and changed the gravel and never had that problem again could only come to the conclusion it was the type of gravel we were using good luck

promounced as chalseus, henward, or pink tailed shark fast growers and fast fish that is a nicely coloured example you've got there snookie

ooh its new and shiny make sure you polish it once a week with Brasso

probably not a good idea in a breeding setup, males could spend all their time fighting off their reflection and not doing the job with the females

IHBR You may come to love Snookies sense of humour 8)

we have had adult muscovy ducks taken on our pond, personally witnessed. Haven't managed to catch it yet to put in eel pool. at a rough guess, seen in dark by torchlight, it is 2metres and about 10 - 11kg

if its the thread i was thinking of the aro was small and the person was advised that this could only be a temporary measure there is a lot of knowledge and experience within the forum members and sooner or later the right advice is given by someone to any questions on here as you have said some people should read books, but some people have trouble assimilating the info in books or they need a bit of reassurance. as Caryl has said even books contain conflicting info, especially some of the beginner type books, good books can be expensive or harder to find. sometimes it is an emergency and the correct info not available so the forum is here

i have told you before that they won't let amber the goat into the movie theater seriously though toms lady is nice

love the weta david

how is your tank? good to see your busy little avatar back

i too have found water changes the best to sort out these symptoms as soon as big malawis and aros do that i do water change

should destroy the smuggler and keep the animal

you get them taken off you and destroyed

it cleans our tanks and it is called Tom :lol:

agree 100% tortoise can beat a hare, i read somewhere

are they vieled 'cause they're in disguise

put me down for the bidding war but i would want a pair

wrong post

big eels you got the tank can do a 1.65m at about 7.5kg if you want a big fish that eats everything

yes i leave them alone to climb out of container by themselves if they aren't strong enough to break out of the egg and into the water by themselves they usually have problems later on i only incubate about 80 eggs, leave about 100 to 200 in the ground

i probably got the amount of water in vermiculite wrong and drowned the bottom layer of eggs theres no fool like an old fool :oops:

always used potting mix, used vermiculite for the first time last year and had a lesser hatch rate
