Dog-eating Tetra

i just got a rock from my grandmothers garden and i would like some advice on how to clean it to put into my aquarium if possible. the rock will fit in a bucket but im not sure how best to clean it as i didn't think soap was a good idea as the chemicals in the sopa may compromise the fish's health.

umm i got i think two plecos or bn i'm not sure which but they about 5 cm and 5 tetras, 5 guppies and 2 dwarf gouramis

ok it has two parts to the filter so should i just chane one then leave for week then do other?

haha good one funiest thing i've read/heard all day. :lol: but in all seriousness it is very cruel and even if the fish can survive in small space doesn't mean it should have to.

i have an aqua one ar-510 tank and its filter needs new carbon-wool cartiges soon but a friend of mine sugested i dont need the carbon filter also im puzzled about the order in which the filter media is in as i was told by the shop where i got it from the fine filter wool first then it has the carbon filtering attatched to it, then it has a coarse sponge then ceramic noodles. my friend suggested i toss the cartriges and just have sponge then noodles then some filter wool bought in bulk. do i need the carbon because i don't put any thing in the water except cycle and aqua plus half a cap every fornight or so. and i thought the carbon was chemical filtration. what should i put in my filter or should i just buy cartriges every two months?

oh thats what a pleco looks like. i got one sold to me as bristlenose(at least it looks like those) which means ill have to get rid of when they get bigger maybe

no sorry going to spend a few days in the malbourogh sounds and a night in blenhiem i think. they may not need heat packs because of the temp outside but it would be safest to have em. what kind of fish are they and how many?

me and my family are going accross on the ferry on the 2nd januaryand can probably drop them off to kid123 if it suits with times but we might not have much time to get them from wellington. will they be with heat pacs and a container?

Yeah, I'm interested in getting a white worm culture, but who do I contact? Edit: Spelling, Grammar and Capital's fixed.

i had the same thing happen but my other neons or other fish didn't get it. the fish survived about 3-4week then died the otherday. just wondering, where did u get the fish? i got mine from animates tower junction.

I have been reading about my dwarf gouramis and know that they need a bit of live food. What is best type and how expensive is it? Edit - Capital's fixed.

i've been thinking of gewtting some dwarf gouramis but i can only find males. will two males be ok together in community tank with 3 neons tetras, 5 guppies(3 male, 2 female) 3 glowlight tetras, 2 bristlenoses. im thinking of getting one flame red and one neon blue.

that sounds like a good idea. i've found that points out the problems because the customer is paying and they want to keep the customer happy. i hope something gets sorted out.

um on closer inspection it has sort of fluffy stuff on the tail and also it may have been dead longer than 3hrs. will call animates tomorrow

i hope someone can help me with this so here is the infomation i have. i bought a guppy looks kinda like endler and its only about 2cm in lenght and in a tank with 3 glow light tetras, 3 male guppys (2 juvenile) 2 female guppys 2 bristlenoses and 3 neon tetras. it looks like it has been attacked and it was fine 3 hrs ago. too quick for disease but it loooks like chunks of flesh taken out and tail bent. i got it from animates on sunday and it was in a tank with fish same size as mine or larger. please help me if you can

definately. i wonder whether it would work with other fish such as dwarf gouramis or other colourful small fish. if you want the instructions i have them available to e-mail in pdf format.

i saw this on a site while i was browsing guppy pics and thought it would be interesting to do but i was wondering if anyone knew a good glass cutter in christchurch here is a link to the site http://guppyinfo.com/index.php?option=c ... Itemid=115

i have noticed a similar problem on one of my 3 neon tetras but i have 3 glowlights aswell and nothing wrong here are some pics.

here are some pics

the eggs are only a few mm in diameter and there are about 7 of them. the bristlenoses are quite young i think about 5-6cm

i just discovered some yellow coloured eggs in my tank and i have the folowing fish in my tank. 2 bristlenoses 3neon tetras 3glowlight tetras 5 guppys 2 red ramshorn snails 2 other snails that i don't know what are can you please help me as they might be snails eggs i will try to post some pics

k i will. how do i best keep the fry safe? i have 2 bristlnoses, 2 other femal juvenile guppys, 2 male guppys 1 young and one more mature and 6 tetras(3 neon and 3 glowlight) in my comunity tank. i have another small tank available but it doesn't have and heaters, pumps or filters except 1 air pump. can someone please help me. i really want to keep these alive as will be my first. thanks

ok thanks

how can i tell if me female guppy is pregnant? im wondering this as i have recently bought one from someone who was breeding them like mad and had lots of fry in the tank and i thought this one might be pregnant as its kinda got a big belly. can someone please help me on this?

thanks that really helps. i was getting worried because animates was saying i could have 2 pearl gouramis, 2 bristlenose's and 6 neon ttras and that was it which seemed to few but i wasn't sure. might look into another filter and better aeration but for now its pretty good. thanks
