  1. yup, Paul (Billaney) suggested that I do an Ammonia test and nitrates so i gave Animates a sample of my tank water and they came up negligible - so I bought some PH DOWN and did continuous WCs but the pH wouldn't come down so Paul suggested it was the gravel and I even took out ornaments that could leach - 3 days later all the fish were dead. The fish were all healthy and happy before addition to that tank and the pH was the only component that was different
  2. haha it always makes life easier when your other half condones your interests... :bounce: welcome
  3. omg it's horrible! had an incident like this about two years ago when I bought the wrong type of gravel - asked for Autumn harvest and got limestone mixture ...pH shot upto 8 and lost all my silver sharks, angels and lemon tetras = all the fish in the tank hard lesson learnt though
  4. sold for stud or food - nothing against beef or veal but just not family pets... Wow that's a pretty penny!
  5. always make the same mistake in their name..like Rage against The Machine...used to call them Rage against a Machine :roll: then I just shortend their name to Rage and System for simplistic sake
  6. it was an intense albino snake among red flowers and heavy branches - think the tank was form the States...completely jealous! Maybe one day when I'm rich....lol Petermc - so what did you decide in the end? What fish did you get? Update and pics?
  7. I'm the other way around, when I did vet experience four years ago - I had to stay in a cubicle with a Doberman putting my finger on one of its veins in its throat post-operation....I would've rather do that with a yappy chihuahua that won't have a chance of eating me lol
  8. you have to admit it is more "mainstream" - plus after hearing a few songs a few times you get sick of it...I prefer their older songs such as 'Minority', 'Good Riddance'...It seems like they're trying to get at the American justice system but that's been done before by System of the Down plus SOTD is much better
  9. you shouldn't just have one Discus on its own either...should get at least 4 in a group. Your bettas won't get dropsy from fighting over food - it will be from feeding heaps to accommodate your Discus. How big is your tank by the way?
  10. Dave+Amy

    New Tank

    loving the disc like Discus they look gorgeous, how big are they? - In the 15cms?
  11. just keep in mind that Discus need to be fed quite often when younger so you can easily lose your bettas to dropsy no matter how often the water change when they're being over fed - I've lost two
  12. Saw a tank like that when I was trawling for ideas to renovate my tank, it looked really cool and the person had a pet snake in the branches and Swordtails in the there
  13. .... well I hope you're wrong.... can't bare losing Tequila now!
  14. you sure it's not just a coincidence? like that AKL pet store not being able to financially get them in and look after them properly? and that people just haven't had any hatch lately?
  15. REALLY??? there's something to laugh about when I come up for a Palmy visit lol. Well here's mine: System of the Down Linkin Park Sublime old school Green Day (not a fan of their American Idiot CD - too boppy) Empire of the Sun Paparoach Sneaky Sound System 28 Days The Offspring The Prodigy
  16. our beardy loved it...gave one to him as a treat
  17. get a larger number of Angels then you can refine your group as they age and fight...plus they look awesome in a group - I'm currently senting up a Blushing Angels feature tank
  18. sorry about my slack reply ... Uni's doing my head in but have PM'd you now
  19. yay just waiting for this baby to arrive! Would it be good if I put some exisiting noodle material into this new canister to speed up the cycling process?
  20. love how your driftwood sticks out - did you get these from Makara?
  21. it's only a 60cm W X 90cm bottom and I'm only wanting enought for a 2inch base..It's a tall Angel tank so shouldn't use that much?
