lol that sucks.

they are pretty strong, so keep that filtration up! invest in some nitrazorb if the water test is worrying you.

10???????? \\ do a water change or 2!! LOL once c-l's are established in a tank they are surprisingly sturdy... so they'll be alite...

harsh to say they are a poor specimen i think they are quite cool. :bounce:

welcome! im sure you will love the forum - plenty of great people on here. :bounce:

ghastly.

o0oo! lol i should go check out what massey here has.... would be interesting....

ghaz! omg, lol I have an 8mb connection - what on earth do you have????

yeah... any pet shop should have it... really good stuff... we used to have problems at work with these 3 goldfish tanks going green everysingle day, even with 100% water changes, etc... i put phoszorb in the filters (just in the cannister or in the hangover box) and presto - no more algae or green water. its like magic :bounce: lol...

that's pretty darn good! :bounce: I've never bred these guys before, so when the fry are growing up - do the larger fry eat the smaller ones, like in other spps? or do you separate them according to relative sizes etc...

lol amy what if you got a discus that looked like this lille fella ->

a small one like that should be about 40 - 60 depending on brand, where you get it from and the sort of tube it has in it.

lol good point.

what sort of survival rate do you get on them?

you should sue your ISP

They voted for Bush TWICE. Nothing surprises me now, lol.... :lol:

they look cute as... :bounce:

what's this about leaving lights on 24/7? plants need the dark to convert Pr to PFr (phytochrome forms..... biology geek, lol). Especially in most long day plants like the ones available here. you can scrape bba off where it is... alternatively, get a phosphate remover (phoszorb is expensive but works well) and get rid of all the other algae.

these come up on the order lists as "zebras", just thought you'd like to know. personally a zebra has more stripes, but ppl get things wrong. but hey - still nice fish.... can't ask for more. You won't stunt growth in a tank like that i dont think.... discus are a lot hardier than we give them credit for.

actually sarah palin was such a hit with the reps that they stood a better chance of winning with her as presidential candidate. a lot of people would have seen past the "inexperience" if you can call it that. perhaps alaska is too isolated, i mean it does border with "russia" LOL

for those of you doing physics or any maths related paper.... remember practice is the key. keep doing questions, change the numbers, work out the questions from the answers (work backwards).... keep doing them until you feel like gouging your eyes out, lol... uni will be a massive change for you, but in a good way. and lm is right... NCEA has a weird way of doing things... figure it out, and make the system work for you. I did that all the way through 6th and 7th form and never looked back. the key is to work smart. if you know the principle behind how some thing works (eg. like in physics, if you understand how kinematic equations WORK) then you don't need to spend hours doing problems, you can apply what you know to the question asked. That's how stuff is done in uni and those skills will help you a lot more.

this was mentioned on the forums a while ago i think.. there is something you can buy from mitre 10 that strips off the paint and in non toxic.

i chucked a few stink bombs in the dining hall.... evacuated the place in minutes, lol... another guy blew up a toilet - i do not recommend this in any way.
