Hi Kuos, just had a look. Ugly but beautifull. Are they fairly common? Cheers Robbo

Hi Sue and Robert, thanks for your replies. I was told it would easily take care of a 8-10 G tank Obviously not. They are so cute I might buy another 1 or 2 Thanks again Robbo

Hi there Kuos, welcome to the website. Must have a look and see what a Banjo catfish looks like. Cheers for now, Robbo

Hi Sue, sorry can't help with applesnails but have a question about your ottos. I hope you mean otocinclis ? Just bought one yesterday as my LFS told me it was the TERMINATOR of all algae. What was your experience with them? Thanks Robbo 8)

Hi bikiegirl, thanks for the info. Cheers Robbo

Hi there Mothertrout and Suemack, how long can you keep Platys and Guppys for that matter in a breedingtrap? Thanks, Robbo

Thanks Alan, very sorry to hear that. Robbo

Hi there northland chic, welcome to the forum. Nine tanks seems a nice number, I will put it on my wishlist! Bye for now, Robbo

Hi Andrew, I think I am confused. When you said Dad's place the penny dropped. I met his dad ( Terry? ) not Kevin. Do you know what happened to Terry? Cheers for now, Robbo

Andrew said: >Maybe Kevin Rowe got them? I met Kevin Rowe probably 13-14 years ago. Is he still around ? Same place ? Thanks for all the info sofar, I would love to keep Killifish and will at a later date. For now I will have to be content with what I have. Unfortunately family comes first ? Whom ever thought of that should be held accountable amongst fishkeepers ! In the meantime I can enjoy your pictures Robbo

Hi Alan, what is NZKA ? Cheers Robbo

Hi Andrew, no they sold 2 days after arriving. Very nice fish indeed, are they hard to keep and breed? They are not a community fish are they? Kind regards Robbo

Hi Andrew, very nice looking fish indeed! I have seen Fundulopanchax gardneri in our local shop last week. Sold for $27 each ??? How old are the angels? Cheers, Robbo

Welcome mothertrout, good to see incredible enthusiasm ! Sounds like the bug hit like a mule, looking forward to some more of a good thing. Sounds like next time I am in Taupo ( bungied about a year ago) I have to visit your local fish store. Talk to you soon and keep up the happy happies :lol: Robbo

Hi Myst, I once backed a tank with a thin mirror. Had an awesome effect if you don't mind seeing yourself ! Robbo

Hi Spent, thanks for the welcome and info. I will give Roger a ring and talk to him. Sounds like a nice smallish number doesn't it? See you on the website again soon, Cheers Robbo

read that gh of 8 was a bit high specially for plants like you said, making their life as pleasant as possible :oops:

Hi MGilchrist, a gh or kh of 1 equals 17.9 PPM = 17.9 mg/l ! My water has a : gh of 53.7 PPM or mg/l. kh of 17.9 PPM or mg/l. hope this helps ? thanks, Robbo

Hi Ira, used it because gh was 8 is 8 ok is it? cheers Robbo

hi suemack, are the daphnia you feed frozen or live? can you get daphnia cultures? cheers Robbo

Hi MGilchrist and Andrew, thanks for the replies ! just done another water test, results : ph 6.6 ammonia 0 ppm nitrite 0 ppm gh 3 kh 1 have had a water softener in for 48 hrs as last week gh was 8 and kh was 2 I only have plants ( Vallisneria, Blue Hygro and Hair grass lookalike ) gravel and rocks. No peat. Using tapwater with water ager and cycle at each water change. I change between 20 and 30 % Is my kh too low? How do you increase kh ? thanks again, Robbo

Hi Sucky Fish, welcome. I too am new but have had tropical fish for a while ( 20 yrs or so ). Still consider myself a novice but as you probably have found out there is a wealth of knowledge in this group. Like Pegasus said you will have to fix the lonely guppy. Is it male or female ? Cheers for now, Robbo

Hi Craig, good looking tank is right. What is the small tank to the right-hand side ???? What future plans are you hiding ??? Cheers Robbo

Hi Caryl, cost per page is not too bad for a colour laser. Anyway, enough techo stuff. Maybe you can answer a fishy question for me or anyone else that may be reading this? My Ammonia level is 0 ppm :lol: My Nitrate/Nitrite levels are 0 ppm :lol: My PH goes from 7.0 to about 6.4 in a weeks time Any ideas as to why? Would love some help Cheers for now Robbo

I actually got this printer because it had ink right through it. I quoted the customer I think 2.5 Hrs labour but he refused and left it for parts. Took me 6.5 Hrs to completely strip and clean including the duplexer! Worth the effort, beaut printing! I hate to think what colour laser consumables are worth, what sort of cost per page do you get? Cheers for now Robbo
