I'm sure that's sarcasm! (At least I hope it is, because that is the best way to shoot your self in the foot!).

It takes 2 seconds to google a fish, but there would NEED to be an incorporation of common names.

There is an annual database of voluntary breeding registrations available to FNZAS financial members. It includes a list of members, what they have bred and if they are re-breeds. Also quite useful. Are you able to access user profiles on the site?

I think he means a database like the 'my cats' section that planetcatfish.com has. I have found it very useful on there.

but water changes won't make up for lack of space.

im not sure what would be more stressful. Living in a drop of water like that, or close proximity to another male :lol:

Last sunday of this month - it is a biggie! Lunch at valentines, and palmy tank crawl too! And... I won't spend too long doing my hair, so no one can blame for their lateness. :lol:

Get some wireless ones!

You haven't posted in ages! Welcome back!

Ooo I might be able to play this game with my plakats in a few weeks!

Very nice looking fish! Neat idea too; hope it is a success!

decided to crawl out your hole huh? :lol:

I want!

Yes, I have posted that on FK and maybe even here before. The moisture exists because of where the heaters are made and assembled.

That-is-terrible! :lol:

they do get some red on them occasionally. it could be the work of an overzealous photoshopper, but it looks normal to me. see how it has all its bands?

normal danio.

yeah. paremata road has a lot. Do not remove them though. I recall mangroves being protected. They are VITAL to the ecosystem. plus a mangrove on paremata road was the perfect cushion for my car when i landed on it.

When you artificially alter your pH, the buffer does not magically shift to sit at the higher pH range. A buffer resists pH change, and once the pH is either artificially increased or decreased, it is susceptible to crashing / reverting back to its preferred range because the buffer zone has been unchanged. That's the reason coral is used in african tanks to increase the pH. Take it out and the pH will go back down. Put it back in and the water will slowly increase in pH to a certain point as the water is hardened and the base overcomes the buffer. It is possible to change the buffer range in water, but that requires making your own buffer solution and again, what a pain that is. Having used the pH altering products in a commercial environment, I would never recommend them to any one. It's a disaster in a bottle.

Babies were freely swimming as of yesterday. They had their first liquifry meal, and the mother takes good care of them. Fingers crossed.

Need a pic. pop eye is usually bacterial and needs antibiotics. However, it is the sellers responsibility to sell a healthy fish; pop eye does not develop in 30 seconds.

It shouldn't and if it does it is likely that you are artificially altering the pH. The water will form a natural buffer based on its Pka.

Neat!

Hi there! May I suggest planting your tank with real plants? That looks like a juwel rekord, so you definitely have the lights for it!

That's why i said add soft water...
