Nice pics hehe I like your Aro's name Mr Munchy Munchy v cool :bounce:

Awesome photos, I love the apple snail one

I have african cichlids that fight abit, so us you can imagine they get the odd battle wound - usually with salt they've healed up within 2-3 days sometimes it takes 1 week. But if your fish hasn't started improving by now then I would try some other sort of medication

Great to hear fishie is pooping. As for the infection i really don't know, usually salt works for me - maybe try posting in the diease section, someone maybe able to help you.

How fishie today RochelleMay?

:bounce: Hi & Welcome :bounce:

Hey good luck with the tank and keep us posted - post some pictures up if you can Good luck with the convicts, they are really cool fish with heaps of attitude depending on the correct fish selection for them and they look really cool when they get size on them.

How big are the convicts? you should be able to sex them at about 2-3cm females should have orange or red or pinkish pigments in the belly I'm not really sure about your other fish and what will go with them - someone should be able to give you more ideas.

Yea as Ryan said, the tank is proberly not good to have convicts in it and proberly also the jewel. Convicts are extremely aggressive and will terrorise everything in the tank as they get older and also fairly aggro when little to. I'm not sure what you meant by the 20 litre tank? have you got the convicts in that? as that will be way to small for them they do pick on there own kind and will cause nothing but grief. In saying that - I have convicts, but have them separated - males in a 700 litre african tank and females in a 400 litre tank and believe it or not the female tank is the HORROR tank they are so nasty where's the males are quite cruisey. I way prefer the males I started breeding them so I could feed the babies out to my turtle but the turtle doesn't like them now - so you have to think of that also or else you'll end up with 100's of babies that your fish won't eat and no one will buy off you :-?

You have a very unusal selection of fish there. I my expereince with convicts you MAY be ok if they are all males - but if they pair up then you're in trouble or should i say your other fish are in trouble. But if they end up being all female then all I see ahead for your tank is absolute kaos (sp?) By the way, convicts are very prolicfic breeders :roll: just add male + female = 1000's babies

Good luck with your fish. Goldfish are quite prone to getting swim bladder - cause they're little piggys but i've never lost one to it they are very hardy fish I would just keep a eye on the infection if it doesn't start healing within a few days then maybe try using some meds or add alittle more salt - someone may be able to tell you what to use but I rather tend to use salt first - it's a good healer

Sound like maybe swim bladder - I would take him/her out put into water shallow and pop in one or two deshelled peas mush them up alittle As for the infection I'd put a little rock salt in the water Sorry just reread your first post - ignore my advise, sorry

How old are they? Congrats on the plecos .. and good luck :bounce: :bounce:

:bounce: Hi & welcome :bounce: Your platies are lovely

i'm all for it :bounce: So what happens at "club" meetings? Just curious as i've never been to one.

Aww Sam the 2rd how cute. It hard to say really - my big "goldie" was fine with new additions to his tank however didn't like comets put in and would chase them non stop, goldie is a fantail I guess you won't know till the two meet - if beauty doesn't like the new Sam try taking beauty out then reintroduce him back. But I am sure they will be fine.

LOL so you got it huh .. you can get it growing good then I'll come a pinch some off ya

:bounce: Happy Birthday to you :bounce: what a cool pressie

:bounce: Yah you'll have to put pics up What are you going to call him/her?

Sorry to hear of Sams passing I would defintely get a new friend for beauty, can't be much fun being the only fish in there

Oh my daily laugh :lol: classic

OOh he a real nice fish if you manage to breed them put me on your list Is that my girl i see in the bottom picture
