angel obsessed

thank you very much And will do, I currently feed him a few frozen bloodworms once a day.

forgive the bad picture but the best I could get of him flaring at his reflection

thanks how exactly do I get him to flare? Put a mirror in there? lol, forgive me, I want to try breed them as Ive successfully bred angels but dont know much about them. Like, do I breed delta to delta or can you breed different types together?

Hi, I got him the other day and it was sold as a delta tail. I am new to fighters so just want to make sure this is right.

ok guys, thanks heaps for all the answers/advice etc. Kinda gutted tho, nevermind! I got my ghost knife and he ROCKS!! x

http://badmanstropicalfish.com/profiles/profile104.html hmm conflicting information. Maybe I didnt explain myself very well. Red cherry shrimp is what Im after. With a black ghost knife tankmate. oh maybe you meant the knife fish will pick the shrimps off. Damn.

No1 - I never knew there were ghost shrimp there! And Ive lived here all my life! I used to go "cockabillying" at that river when I was younger. Used to lay on that rock that juts out a bit (sth of bridge) and hold a plastic shopping bag under the water until they went in, then yanked them out! lol. Random! No2 - You have seahorses?? Do you need a licence or something for those? N03 - So the shrimp they sell at animates in with all the freshwater tropical fish arent supposed to be in there? Why the hell do petshops misguide people so much!!! I have bumblebee gobies in freshwater. Had them for 9+months. bought them as 'freshwater' and they have been living in my freshwater tank happy as. Wierd.

would these be okay with a ghost knife? Am setting up a new tank and want some wierd and wonderful fish for it also wheres the best place in chch to get shrimp?

goby's and figure 8s together? I thought this wasnt such a good idea? Im currently setting up a 120litre tank and plan on getting a black ghost knife. Im looking to put something other random fish in it, would love puffers?

hi, one of my young discus has gotten quite dark and swims funny occassionally. Like wobbles around almost like hes drunk. Then a few hours later he appears normal only to go dark and drunk again. Does this mean he needs to be wormed? If so how do I go about this? I do daily water changes and my other discus same age same batch seems to be growing bigger faster and doing well. I did have 3 but one died a week after I got him and it started exactly the same way as this one is heading?????

man im jealous, i need to get myself some more breeders!!!

lol lurking everywhere I see!!

Hi guys, Im quite excited, I finally got a hold of some "white sand" in the weekend. I know its already been done but its going to be a first time for me! I have 2 tanks spare at the moment! A little square 54litre one and a 65litre aqua one. They are both quite small but Im thinking of either doing a planted 'nano type' in the 54 and a wicked planted out aquascape in the 65. Not sure which of my fish I'll put in there yet. We are moving in a couple of months so dont want to get too complicated. However Ive decided to buy a bigger feature/display tank when we settle in at the new place!!!!!!! I CANT WAIT FOR THAT!!!! Mts - already have 5 tanks. Another one wont hurt :oops: Anyway Ive decided to do a 'before and after' sequence since so many others have done so on here and I find them very interesting to look at! So keep watching this space! x ps - man you buy a lot of fish dixon!!! I see you bidding on almost every fish auction I look at on that site!

thanks, i do feel more sad about the loss of this fish because of all i did to try help him. Thank you for all your help and support though! Now at least i have the meds on hand in case anything were to happen in the future!

he died, that sucks

yes I put meth blue directly on to him the other night, I will do it again now. It did stain him. I got stress coat and have put that in the water about an hour ago. Hes not giving up.

well hes still alive, barely... hes just laying on the bottom and hes gotten way worse, looks like hes moulding away Im going to get some stress coat today, do a massive waterchange (how long do i dose with the meth blue for as its still in there) then add some stress coat.

honestly i think i will lose him lessons are learnt the hard way i guess... keep you posted.

okay im back, just dosed the tank with meth blue. Never before in my ten or so years of having fish have I had to do that? Fingers crossed he doesnt die and isnt suffering too much. I hate this!

off to get meth talk again in 20mins x

sorry the pics were showing when i first put them up. he really doesnt look good today, I put some more salt in just before but now hes just lying on the bottom on his side dont think he'll last another night. Im off to the petshop to get meth blue. Looks like he's being eaten away round the tummy area, its gone very very white and kinda furry. Will take some more pics now and hopefully they will attach.

sorry they arent great pics you probably cant even see well enough to determine the prolem

okay cant upload pics dont know how and took 4 to show you, just signed up to snapfish host although its not very good!
