  1. i just add some salt. no specific amount. pure NaCl. not the seachem stuff. just like rock salt. not iodised either.
  2. Thanks. I figured someone would remove them :lol:
  3. but little salt is good for them! its all ive ever known! as a little 10 year old all i had was salt! :lol: don't take that away from me! *cries
  4. only to keep up with the demand :lol:
  5. I can make an attempt to try taking out the salt with the next 4 water changes.. but i dunno... :lol:
  6. I added another one on my tank today.
  7. So you would spend $170 on a diffuser and it wont work :lol: I'd rather spend $18 and have it work hahaha.
  8. what the! :lol: we can! have been able to for a long time now, and they have just recently been imported again. L46 that is. L270 are being bred here quite well.
  9. That was probably the product of a group of marketing people who wanted to sell something worth $1 for $4 :lol: general tonic = general cure. It is essentially no different to rock salt.
  10. hi memnoch, and welcome! take some time and introduce yourself in the welcome section and tell us what sort of fish you keep and a little about yourself if you like. salt is probably the oldest remedy used in the fish keeping hobby. it helps build up the slime coat that fish have by slightly agitating the glands under their skin. this slime coat keeps diseases at bay. - possibly the simplest reason, though there are many many more reasons that are a million times more complicated and techincal. so i use it because of that and because its just a habit now lol.
  11. Hypans should be fed some meaty foods like raw shrimp. bloodworms are OK but shrimp is much better. A high quality bottomfeeder pellet like hikari goes down a treat.
  12. Can't say I've seen them either, sorry.
  13. buy now is $600 You never know ha ha. i think its a smart move to make a quick buck. 1. It would influence an individuals perspective on what the fish are worth, thus having the potential for those that do not know to bid more and more. 2. ching ching! if someone clicks on the buy now.
  14. It's only got a $100 reserve, so its fair game after the first bet. I think it may attract those who like the L46's colours.
  15. i can show you pics of rotten eggs if you want. sam showed me a very rotten pic last night in fact.
  16. Try that NZ native. the red one that floats.
  17. you dragged it up! :lol: and all along i thought everyone would have forgotten about it.
