Cool idea Travis and this could tie in well with many different scientific fields. i don't think you have to limit yourself into thinking that you have to come up with some sort of far left field ideas either. Some times its a great idea to focus on some thing that is commonly known and try to show why it is, or perhaps that it isn't actually true at all. Show good scientific practice, good observation, and that you tried your best.
Some ideas
Improving water quality -showing how a filter works -make your own model, show possible improvements...
Explain behaviour of fish (Pavlov) -use fish to prove they have a longer memory than commonly perceived
Evaluate how cleaver different types of fish are at cracking some sort of puzzle to have access to their food, use the same trap on different types of fish to observe if any of them are smarter than others
Conduct your own investigation of the genetics of a type of fish (guppies tails) to show how common traits emerge through bloodlines, or hypothesis has to from where of off shoot is if they produce any throwbacks
Good idea to display and photograph your fish ideas extensively, take many photos through out the process, you can always delete any you dont need after the project.

Great work Travis! Very impressive tank.

Didn't you like my suggestion?
Okay, so the father is a ct and imo he's not bad looking but what was the mother?
didn't know what to say, lol!!! the mother was cambodian double tail
-
Pics of the parents? CT crowntail or CT combtail?
crown
look at my fish for sale thread
-
Definitely a double tail with crowntail. Did you cross these or did you breed from fish already crossed?
IMO they would be nice double tails if you got rid of the crowns - anyone got a pair of scissors? lol
hey cheers for your input, these were already crossed, but i breed siblings -cambodian mother (dtct, blue ct father
-
i have breed these guys and had some different names thrown at them. i have a fair idea of what they are called but also appreciate the fact there are people on here who are an authority on matters such as this.

The 'maccus' - is that one of the pretty peckoltias like I have in my tanks as its nearly identical to some of mine. I say some because I have the ones with very clearly defined stripes and others way more blotchy which I think may be the females. These are also by far the fattest and they are shortly to get their own tank.
Do you have any longfin bns?
no long fin bns.

new photo of no 1#
in tank photo, not in hand photo -might confuse to many people.

choc zebs

pic no1# and 2# are the same fish.

These guys are sadly leaving me, so i thought i would take a few picks since i had to disturb their tank.
Have a go at i.ding them. its good for you to hone your research skills!
If your brave go for a gender too.
i will give you a clue after the 13th guess, if you need it.

i know that bikini? i have to say when i was a young fellah seeing your sister in that bikini was something i will never forget . i wasnt totally lusting after her . but she was like the hottest girl around. dont think much of her now, i have to say she has aged terribly, but if your going to live that sort of lifestyle then your going to wear the consequences.

Hollywood does it.

great post jenifer
-
it doesn't look good... prepare for the worst but hope for the best.

good one, something in the water your way.
-
i drowned one then froze it for two days and it came back to life. it was fun!!!! then i squashed it because i used to hate them, but now i think they are cool.

The article seems to suggest treating at weekly intervals and doing 3 treatments followed by water changes, I did think of the issue of leaving a half dose in the water but had assumed that maybe it had a half life and all decayed by itself? It would be good to find out!
i might do a little more research, at the vets tomorrow around the life cycle of worms and if this product decays.
-
you've just swayed me, i was apprehensive about putting more stress on already stressed out fish but a 24 hour window is pretty easy to cope with. It is pretty quiet around here isn't it? Perhaps not many have had the pleasure of these blood sucking mites.
-
How many milligrams per millilitre is the liquid?
If you can possibly do it, it would be better to take the fish out and treat them in a bucket so that you can fully remove the chemical from their environment when the treatment is done.
I see a lot of credit to what your saying, and it is not too difficult to temporarily house these fish for the time being. However how long will these fish have to stay out of the tank? Until they are fully wormed? (4-5 days) or until the larval stage of the parasite has starved in the main tank?
-
Ok got the Aviverm. About to treat 220ltrs so 1 and a half millilires? Might have to take a swig myself - couldn't really hurt...

cheers Ryan.

Sorry to drag up this thread but had three deaths in my tank, which has just come clear after being cloudy for a couple of weeks, upon closer inspection the fish all have redness around the anus and one had 5-6 of the above mentioned red worms coming out of the fish. Very Yucky!!! I inspected the remaining livestock and most fish look stressed and a number seem to show signs of these worms.
Any help please will be much appreciated.
Is Aviverm the right stuff to use in this instance?
Mark -have you found any of the above products locally? Could you suggest where about to pick this product up?
FINALY SET UP MY NEW 6 FOOT TANK!!!

This is an outstanding effort for such a young man. As you can tell from the from the tank reflection he just about needs a step ladder to reach the top of it. Well done Travis on your hard work!!!
