it is easier and safer than it looks after getting parts took me 20 mins to cut and fit syphon cannot be broken by pump stopping etc drilled tank once with a piece of copper pipe and grinding paste took a long time and was bad on the nerves but it worked, found the overflow easier

we bow down to your simpsonness

agree with others state your case fairly outlining why you want to leave, better money , better oppurtunities etc., or just need a change a good employer will understand and if they can will offer more to keep you if they go doggo makes the move more justified

were they too big i have had that problem

congrats on being a daddy again bulldogod

had the same size tank, was advised by a lot of professionals not to bother ended up making overflow pipe that works well made out of 32mm pvc pipe and elbows, outside box tupperware container

did you interrupt the mating process?

SPCA the best bet let them know your concerns and the reasons why you think this is cruel on the fish they may not be fishkeepers (spca that is) but will understand your case good luck and keep us posted

fixed agression problem in our big tank by removing all females no matter what species

you maybe surprised as to what type they are, there are a lot of giants in this area temp needs to be kept down otherwise you can have fungal problems

didn't mean to panic you mincie i only meant it as advice when you first start out wth a new animal it can be a bit of a worry after a while things will settle down each of us keep our animals in slightly different ways, but good food, the right temp and humidity and environment are about the same in all keepers it is good there are so many knowledgable and experienced keepers on here

its the minstrel show sometimes called harlequins the degree of patchiness varies from, like a friesian cow to spotting and speckles you need to maybe have a look at its siblings and see if any are carrying that colouration as they grow, might only be slight, like a toe of a different colour etc. best idea is to breed back to one of these or either of the parents depending on sex, i know this may sound incestuous but is best way to fix the gene axolotl genetics are very random and harlequins are rare and in demand overseas i currently have young from a spotted female and golden male, with about 40 of the babies carrying the spotted gene in varying degrees, even some gold with black spots good luck with babies and happy new year

you are probably correct on id on second one as well

as repto said it may be pied, keep it safe i have some babies with mixed markings on them they are hard to come by

is right can also cut back to good flesh then cauterize best to get vet to do make mark on tail with marking pen then see if it deteriorates more one of our igs had this when i got it, cut to new flesh and dosed with iodine daily for 3 days, took a while but it regrew tail no worries some don't regrow from that point, depends on species

yes i once met a water dragon on a prawn trawler in Cairns, australia

good idea what about pongas, the fibrosa ones
