Any ammonia is too much. An ammonia test should read 0.0 in a cycled tank. Clamped fins is a sign of stress caused by ammonia as well as other things. I would definitely do a 50% water change today and tomorrow. Even if its not an ammonia problem a couple of good water changes can only do good.

Clamped fins is never a good sign. I would do a 50% water change today and another tomorrow

What are the tank water conditions like? Ammonia? Nitrate? Ph? When was the last water change done? How often is the water changed and what percentage? How big is the tank? What is the tanks usual and current temp? Its hard to help you without any information.

On the subject of other tank mates. There is no way that i would keep an SAE with any of my fancy pleco's. They may look like they are getting along well but you never know whats happening after lights out. I would rather get rid of a cheap SAE than risk injury to my more expensive pleco's

Sorry to hear about your loss. Gold nuggets are well known to be very aggresive towards each other and will battle to the death over territory. If this is your newest fish It is very possile that one or both of your other two have killed it extract from www.planetcatfish.com Gold nuggets are territorial to other bottom dwellers and downright vicious to other gold nuggets. This stems from a desire to find and defend the best spawning cave, so take this into account if you plan to introduce these fish into a catfish tank. They do well in a community environment that fits their other requirements. Be careful with adult fish, they can kill each other in a crowded space.

He was (and perhaps still is) a member of the national party. He stood as a candidate at the elections before last but didn't get in. If he stood again and was in my electorate he would get my vote. He communicates his ideas well, has a great sense of humor and is not afraid to speak his mind even if it may offend some people. He even uses mild swear words live on national television

Hmmmm

Congrats and well done but the free swimming fry wont last long with the other tank mates.

Nothing in the tank seems to bothering it at the moment. I will be keeping a close eye on it and have a spare cycled 5 footer to move it to if need

I'm 50% sure that this one is a female :lol:

$12 at the LFS for a common plec is a fair price IMO

I found one today at the LFS and could resist. :bounce: :bounce: It just a Juvenile but will be interesting to see how it matures

how much did you pay? I hope they didnt rip you off

I assume that your are happy to fish sit at the same time as babysit Do you overnight and are you willing to travel to Mot? If so I well keep you in mind

It could be an air lock. Try lying in it on its side while its still running with the inlet and outlet facing the ground then very slowly (over a minute or two) bring it back up to its normal position. This can purge the air from the system.

This site explains it well. http://dinardiengineering.com/blog/?p=34 I am using the herbie system and I am really impressed with the results

Some off us have partners, children and other pets that demand our attention as well. No time for sittin and waitin

Yeah mine do they same It took days and days of sneaking down to their tank after lights out to get this pick.

Finally got a better pic of dad :bounce:

So much for only getting a good hatch rate from sea water

Thats the stuff but you can also get it for house windows for privacy and so ya curtains dont fade etc

You can get a reflective one way film that you can stick on to glass. Probably the cheapest option

agreed, SAE's can get nasty

No news at this end but its still way too soon, they will need a while yet to settle in. Having said that, I couldn't help myself today and gave them a cool water change just in case they were thinking about it
