fish will be a bit lethargic and hang around the bottom of the tank and not move much. fins will split or you will see red lines in the fins. fungus will appear around the gills. In all of the cases above it is best to prevent them by having regular water changes. at least 20% per week.

There is quite a range of goldies you can get Lion Heads orandas Globe Eyes Celestials Shubunkins Chocolate Fans Pandas Blue Fan tail Veil tails This is only a few. but quite common

If you are on bore water then you should be sweet. you don't need to leave the water to age. poor it straight into the tank. Like Caper said it may be wise to invest in some test kits. Nitrites, ph, Amonia

I feed my bn on a diet of JBL Pleco chips and a inch long piece of cucumber sliced into halves. Cucumber goes in 36 hours and the pleco chips get eaten in 12hrs they also like the odd discus tucker as well.

Try these. Goldfish Pagoda. Cascades Rd, Pakuranga Four Seasons Pets, Glen Innes Bird Barn, Lincoln Rd, Henderson Hollywoods, Albany Jansens, Porana Rd, Glenfield Pupuke Aquariums, Northcote

Welcome Back BG Hope to see you in the chatrooms soon.

Now I wonder if I can get a pair of those into the country. :-? Hmmm wonder who could build me a tank big enough to house them :roll:

Best thing to do is to have the filter running in your existing tank for a week or 2. You can fill your tank with water from an existing tank and use it straight away. as long as you do regular water changes in new tank you will be ok till your filter is ready.

Have you tried using another tank? it could be that there is something in the tank you are holding the guppies in. No harm trying :-?

You could be right Caryl. Ballistic smokes like a chimney in that room so I wouldn't be surprised if the poor krib has got cancer from Second hand smoke

Chim chim... apple snails are pretty cool and when / If you get your puffer, the puffer will take care of your snails

Erythromycin This is an antibiotic that is selective in what it Kills. Not a broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin Then again if you are not treating the algae with fish in it then I can suggest you could use any type of antibiotic to kill the algae with.

why buy a dehumidifier when you can go to either Foodtown, woolworths or Countdown and buy one of those larger airconditioning units for $399.00

Have you got one of those suction balls that used to come with the older X03 models? Using that will mean you won't be drinking any fishie poo. :lol:

I have only ever used Fluvals and can highly recommend them as they haven't broken down or anything go wrong for the past 4 years

Use with care (E, I mean)

I meant the one that is dormant by the kitchen counter.

Sorry to inform you that all the cats you listed do not: Morris Dance or Dance around the May Pole :roll: :lol: :lol:

Great to see that there are so many babies. You will be able to get that other tank up and running soon after you sell the bn babies

guess they were timid and not used to strolling out of their normal tank into another :lol:

I think the temp is a bit high at 30.4 degrees C. I only have mine at 28 degrees C. Silly question here.... was the tank cycled properly or are you putting them in an existing community tank? another thing you could do is to take out some of the water from the tank they are now and mix it with the water in the new tank...

I use gravel with my Discus.. then again they are in a community tank. I use Glacier Pebbles which has a ph of 7.0 good for discus and it is white so shows up the colour

Don't send them a postcard.... unless you have someone to clear your letter box.. full letterbox means NO ONE HOME. Timers are definitely the way to go... whats more is that you can plug in a radio as well so when the lights come on the radio will come on as well so it makes it sound like someone is home. Have the timer to turn on at odd hours of the evening as well. Gives the impression the person at home has a week bladder or needs a midnight snack. With regards to holiday food blocks... i use them and have had no problems with them. Happy Holidays

What other fish do you have with your goldfish? I have had experience with rosy barbs having a fetish for Goldfish meat... (No more rosy barbs now ) If the water changes are not regular the fins of the fish will have red lines running through them and the fins will begin to split as well as the area around the gills will tend to get a bit of a fungus. Since you are doing regular water changes this should not happen. Good to hear that the rash has gone away.

Some people would call a B/N a Catfish... so Nine Lives... hence the B/N should have at least another 7 lives to go... lol :lol:
