I was 6. mum bought me a 10L fishtank. had small goldfish in it. Looking back i dont know how they survived. Also kept bullies and koura growing up. Slowly grew into an obsession I think.

oohhh the temp will be too cold for them

Mine is my Paradise Fish as evil as he sometimes is, I can pat him and he eats out of my hand.

Hey team. I've got this black algae growing in my tank... It's smuthering the plants. I increased my snail population which controlled it a little bit, but it's not going anywhere in a hurry. It's really unsightly. I really don't know how to get rid of this, I've tried upping the doseage of florish excell with little to know effect. I can't use, say algaefix because of my shrimps. Any advice?? HELP!
-
realistically its not suitable for anything.... WCMM don't naturally live in still water ways, they come from mountain streams so they wouldn't be that suited. If anything maybe a leopard fish or two as they do ohk in still water. hope that helps.

Great! Thanks Si
-
it really isn't too bad. just keep up with the 20% water changes weekly and watch nitrate and ammonia levels
-
how big is your tank? how much is it overstocked :-? and what kind of filtration do you use?? :bounce:
-
ohhh great pics! i wanna breed leopard fish. but I'm pretty sure my LFS only has males as shes had them for ages and none of them have bred.
-

Well when we made a pond at my aunty's house we used rounded river rocks, as they won't puncture the liner, we just made a few rocks here and there in piles with a few plants then the algae and dirt and what not settled on the bottom and made the black liner look more natural.

ohh ohk are they aggressive
-
Im not sure sorry I just remember being told scallop shells are the best!
-
scallop shells and similar raise PH as they dissolve.

Yeah that's the traditional Maori way isn't it. I heard thats really effective, particularly in Lake Taupo
-
Ohhh thats interesting. pity they're illegal to keep :evil: Did you keep them with Goldfish alanmin4304?? or just in a goldfish pond by themselves..?
-
Haha yeah for sure! Good day out I don't know how widely spread they are I only know area in Tauranga where I can find them. Good luck and let me know how it goes for you! :bounce:
-
what kind of filtration and water changed did you need??
-
Catch them, usually found in slow flowing, shallow water. They're really neat I have between 20-30 of them in my tank. :bounce:

Is the pond very big? much room for the goldfish to hide if need be? Keep in mind that Paradise Fish ARE very agressive. My one is alil bit, but not to the point where he's damaging the other fish. So just keep an eye on them would be my only advice :bounce: Hope that helps
