no, it's not. German stuff costs too much. but good quality though. i'll get one if I win big wed next week ;-) but mine is still very nice. i'll post some photos soon.

that's true. they are really nice fish. so worth a bit hassle.

another question is do I really need to change the water every 3 days? that put me off a bit, then every time I need to be out for more than 3 days, i'll have to get someone else to take care of them. can i do 50% water change once a week?

thanks guys, really appreciated. just got in touch with Ron. may go his place this weekend. :lol:

sorry, it has a curved front and holds about 300L. cheers,

come share it, we DO want to know. :roll:

got a 4ft tank, well planted, ph 6.4, will test other params this week end. tank is well established. how many Discus can i put in there? any suggestions on the breeds? thanks

that's a very nice job you did. sorry to hear about the exam. one question. i have a 4 foot tank with guppies, swordtails, a few corries, GBAs, Clown Loaches, neon tetras and etc. and i'd like to start have discus, do I need to get rid of the guppies and swordtails first?

yeah. but that's life. the thing is that if you work for someone else, sometimes you'll have to take the sh*t. so i'll start my own biz soon.

thanks guys! sorry, a bit late though :-? just switched a job. it's very demanding. so couldn't have time to visit here for last few weeks. and my new boss sucks! the babies are growing well. some of them are more than 1cm now.

Hi guys, i'm really excited. :bounce: My GBAs just bred! I've never bred GBA before. So what do I feed the babies? They live in a community tank with tetras, guppies, swordtails etc. thanks.

thank you so much. that's really helpful.

Hi everyone, I'd like to know what's the best combination for my 3 layer canister filter. i've got a 4ft tank that holds about 350L water with a lot of plants and 40 fish (tetras, guppies, clown loaches, cat fishes, swordtails). I bought the filter 2nd hand and found there's some active carbon in it. should i through them away, as i don't know how long they've been there? thanks heaps

cheers,

did extactly I planned as I mentioned in my previous post. it has been more than one week now since my last dose of the medicine. no white spots!

I only set up the tank less than 2 months. found the first white spot a week ago on one of the swordtails, but didn't take it seriously (bad decision!). Now, that swordtail who oringinally got it looks perfectly OK, but 5 guppies got it (2 of them just died yesterday ). Got a thing called "White Spot Cure" from LFS the day before yesterday. the instruction on the label is 2 drops per liter. It says one dose is enough, but 3 doses maximum, unless there's a full water change between the 3rd and the 4th dose. first of all, I think it's very easy to over-dose. Here's why: I've got a 75 liter tank, so according to the instruction, I should put 150 drops. Wrong!!! It's a 75 liter tank alright, but I've got about 2 inch gravel and 2 big rocks, plus it's heavy planted, so really, there's only about 60 liter water in the tank. So I could have over-dosed by 25%!!! no wonder when I search the internet, lot of people don't trust chemical as they had the experience of killing all the fish in the tank. I did lot of search on the internet, and lots of articles suggest the instructions on the label could be as much as 250% over dosed. So this was what I did: on day one, i put 60 drops (half of the dose suggested), on day two, I did a vacuum together with 10% water change and added another 30 drops. I'm day 3 at the moment. I've noticed that those 3 guppies that got the spots now have less on them!!! I'm planning to do another vacuum tomorrow and put another 90 drops in will keep you updated on how I go.
