:facepalm: Bucket for vomiting wasn't needed when i replaced the impeller today thank goodness so I must have cleaned it a couple of weeks ago. DOH!!...another brain fart :oops: . Will clean again and recycle though...sooo glad I asked as finding a tank of dead fish would have been very sad indeed &c:ry Thanks everyone for your help

Thanks Antwan So I'm best to treat it like a brand new filter and just seed it with water from my tank?

Went to clean external cannister filter a couple of weeks ago and the impeller broke, wasn't that dirty so I just unplugged it and popped it in the garage :oops: . Have replaced the impeller today and am now wondering if it's ok to just plug it back in or do I need to give it a good clean or replace some of the media?? :dunno:

I haven't bought discus but have bought other fish from goldfishman and they arrived alive and splashing and have to say they were probably the best baggd fish I've received.....if it's his discus you're buying he will courier to you so what's the problem? :dunno:

Well Done Sandra El Presidente !! :happy1: And good on you Anne-Marie for helping...great team spirit :happy2: Apologies for not being there myself but only got out of hospital Friday afternoon, hopefully next time

Is the tank new as it could be the concrete?

Really sorry to read of your loss Nav :tears: Hopefully if word gets out to enough people you might find some more..here's hoping

Thanks ...that could have been PM'd to me as it's not UHAS related :dunno:

From one celt to another you can't go wrong with a good solid welsh name (gave my son a welsh name). The following website has some great welsh names plus their meanings: http://www.popularbabynames.com/Baby-Names/Welsh.htm When's the due date?...or are we going to have a sweepstake and guess?

Thanks for your kind offer but I reckon the fish probably wouldn't last the journey...hope you find another crew member, what a great adventure, did some sailing while living in Taupo and loved it so hope it all works out for you .

Just wondering if some kind person is travelling Auckland to Wellington at Labour Weekend and could pleeeeease pick up some fish from Three Kings .....cuppa and cake when you arrive

I've been breeding Mollies for the last 3 years and have found them easiest to breed in freshwater tropical with most adult females dropping between 40-80 fry depending on size. With each water change I add about half a handful of tonic salt. Most Mollies you buy through petshops are in freshwater so you'd need to transition them to brackish slowly. I feed mine flake, crisps, shrimp pellets, bloodworms, bbs (hatched ad decap) and daphnia. Have Mollies from the swamp in Turangi and would suggest these may be more suitable for a brackish tank setup....they seem to be more hardy than their petshop pals If you do a search (top of page next to FAQ) here on forum for Mollies or Mollys I'm sure you'll find lots of other helpful info. HTH

Hope you're all safe down there Please keep us posted :lol:

Thought I'd share the following links:- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... uddle.html

Hi David...I did see an Arowana but am sure it was a silver one. And I don't think there were any Emperor Snapper but I could have missed them :roll: . Hi Morcs.....At least all the fish were in a very healthy condition compared to a few petshops I've visited over the last few months

And I managed to don the hugest pair of blinkers I could find and only bought 4 stunning Angelfish . The owners of Wonderworld were very friendly and only too happy to help and offer advice so if you're ever passing through Rotorua I highly recommend a pit stop at Wonderworld in Clayton Road :bounce: :bounce:
