thanks Luke,yup thats 1 of them thats the 8 footer ive got guite a few other of various sizes but thats the main tank.Who needs TV lol

Its not something i would or could do but how does this differ from fishing in controlled salmon farms? The "flight" response is diminished. man can be cruel but so can nature.You only have to see a cat with a mouse now that is cruel

lol thanks mystic extra heaters are always welcome

Thankyou Vincent discus my prizes from discus photo competition. :bounce: :bounce: The catalogue is beautiful and when 1 of the heaters was broken during shipping Vincent was only too happy to replace. Vincent really knows his stuff when it comes to discus and was very helpfull easy to deal with and very pleasent.

Most supermarkets will have it in the health/bath isle just make sure its got no additives in.This will not harm others in tank,just make them poop.You need this yesterday

I would dose with epsom salts at 1-2 Tablespoons per 10g imediatly ,if blockage is the cause and is not cleared bacterial infection will set in and then effect the fishs swim bladder ,this is not easily cured.

Its not fishy related but the wow complex is worth alook nana and pops would enjoy it also

I think salt would be your best bet Discus are very tolerant of salt even at reasnobly high levels of salinty just up it gradually and replace any removed by water changes 1 Table spoon per 5g should eradicate it over 14 days or so.

they really are the king of poopers :lol: thats a very interesting drop though

Everything but the kitchen sink lol,beefheart,frozen blood worms, frozen seafood mix, peas, pears,bananas,chocolate chip muffin,

Woah thats quite a drop Jim what caused it to swing like that feeding beef heart etc? I have found large volumes of water to be far more stable my 1000ltr discus tank has virtually no change in ph even if feeding beef heart. Did your oscars eat all that was offered? did you feed daily?

Hi guys i have a new oscar he is about 20cm ive had him 3 weeks now he is in a 40g tank on his own(he will be moving into 90g when all ok) he developed white spot soon after i got him so have been treating with salt at 1T per 5g built up over a couple of hours.He is a bit off his food but i expected this from change in enviroment,food etc but today he pooped a bright green poop ive never seen poop like it and i cant think of anything hes eaten to cause this.Is this something to be concerned about or mabe a stress response? His water stats are ph 7.5 Nitrate 5-10 Nitrite 0 Ammonia 0 Temp 25 water changes 25% daily with stable water of same temp with declor added.Fully cycled tank with 1200lph cannister plus air stones. Diet-all he will eat at the moment is cichlid sticks :-? i try other foods but syphon them out after they remain un eaten.

Lol mine love peas,pears,bananas yup almost anything just be prepared to clean up they are the king of poopers :lol:

I think what youre refering to is what is called "peppering " this is thought to be mutation of the "stress bars " shown in turq /brown based fish breed out in the production of pigon strain.In show fish this is undesirable and can be minimised by light surroundings background etc .HTH
