Thanks when I get paid and have the money I will get one This is why im breedin the fish to make some $$$ to buy stuff for my pets :sml1:

Oh squirt you mean i take the water to the shop and get it checked when i get the fish?? ill ask my friend to bring her kitt if she aint still got it ill get a test i have a small tank for sale when i sell that ill get the test kitt ! Yay getting there slowly what does one of them cost

Squirt I cant afford that at the moment.. but will make it a prioirty My friend has one i will ask her when she comes over to bring it At least if i get one then I will know if anything is going on I had ammonia years ago from too much fish and had to water change all the time was a right pain only lost a few thou :digH:

do i start the 30 percent each day when the fish arrive or before? Thanks everyone FIngers crossed that nothing goes wrong How long before i wash out the filters or gravel clean etc

Ok peeps Angel fish filter is in the 3 foot tank Wont be putting Guppies in the tank in the lounge as just scored ten baby platys for in there.. Thats the tank with the white spot where the 2 fish who hasd it died the other 2 remaing fish seem ok.. So looks like ill be busy with lots of water changes

Sorry i got a bit messed up with the posts I am putting angels filter in there now As angel has 2 and dont need it............. If it goes belly up i will have to put them in the tank that had the white spot How long does the white spot take to go away ive added salt and put the temp up to 28. What temp should I put the guppy tank on ??? i use to only have 25

Caryl how do i take the media out its only a filter sponge and the other filter only had wool in it

Will get a test kitt when I can afford it gone without one for years but well worth the money instead of loosing all the fish..

Caryl Angel fish is doing great. bloody thing had it for 4 yrs lol. Anyway... the guppy tank has an EHIEM 2010 filter in it... big one and the angel fish tank has 2 x smaller filters in it should i just take the whole filter out of the angel tank and add it to this one??? I was going to get an external filter but will wait for a few months until tank is totally settled I dont mind a small daily water change my hose hooks up to my shower so its not a biggie

No more thanks for me 3 is enough i dont want to run my power right up

Thanks everyone i will do the water changes and hope for the best Ive seen tanks with 100s of guppies in them 2 foot and up I want to breed to resell so will see how it goes I do have space in my tank in the lounge that had the white spot the fish died that had it so.... Maybe i should half the guppies in there and half in here God last time i had guppies in all 3 tanks i had them coming out of my ears was good thou as I use to sell lots of fry but I depleted my stock I really dont want a bigger tank than 3 feet

Yes I understand that the filter has been running for about two weeks but i did wash the sponge under the tap What about if I get the guppies and then keep changing the water???? I aint turning them down when the person is goin to deliver them ANd i dont want to put them in the tank with the white spot either. The angel fish lives on his own in another one as hes a big meanie so cant go in there lol

My tank has been set up for 2 weeks.. I used 5 buckets of water out of my other two tanks that have been set up for years tank is 3 feet Tomorrow im adding gravel and a heater when it arrives in the post.. So its been going for about 2 weeks with no heater or gravel... STUPID ME washed out the filter instead of using tank water Its 3 feet.. I got 50 guppies coming later in the week They all have to go into this tank as the other one had white spot in it and the other tank has one mean as angel fish in it that will beat the lot up. I dont want to put the angel fish in the lounge as that tank had white spot and its jaws it will honestly eat anything in its way i remember it eating one of my platy fry! Anyhow i have no testing kitt. So if i change water every 2 days for a few weeks will it be ok???? The guppies were are bargain and good stock ADVICE PLEASE I had ammonia issues before its not nice with no test kitt

Thanks i will get some white spot stuff next week. be good to keep there incase happens again. poor fish is it just on their outside???

how much should i put in 5 teapsoons?

blueether 1 tp per litre so if there is 90 litres of water do i need 90 tsp of rock salt that seems a bit too much And sorry to be so thick is that the stuff you put in the grinder??? let me know and ill put some in.. there is only 3 fish left so if it goes wrong i wont be killin the lot I did raise my temp to 28 as I usually keep my fish at 25 They are in the lounge where there is a fire at night so they are usually pretty warm

Hi no money until next week to get medicine for the fish 90 litre tank cleaned the water 1/4 can i put some table salt or rock salt in there?? And how long before i cna add some more fish thanks in advnace

Hamstar99 Thanks thought it was big enought the last one I had was a 300 watt but that was a frebie from the pet shop and it lasted 13 yrs !!!!!! :bounce:

twinkles I will put measurement up tomorrrow I had a few fail over the years !!!!!!! My friends one failed and cooked the fish omg

trinox :sml1: Me too mate Finally I have my gravel and my heater... YAY.

Is a 200 watt heater enough for an old standard style 3 foot tank I worked it out to be under 200 litres like 136 or something? What do you guys think hope its ok got a second hand one off trademe.. Bloody heaters maybe later i can buy some Jager ones or something that last longer last expensive heater i had that i was given lasted 12 years !!!!

Sheepsnana yes i totally agree i have black gravel in my other tanks I got some gravel yay.. pick it up next week so then just need the fish and heater what a mission !!!!!!

zuri08 thanks mate good idea if had excess to get rid of a few to shops. Id like to keep the nice ones for my other tanks. the last lost of guppies i brought from a pet store 3 died . got one nice male and i will spend more and get a nice batch off trademe or buy them in bits I did breed them before but i just let them all do their own thing was amazing what i got :sage:

Thanks living art.. I have 2 smaller tanks one in the lounge and one in my room so A good trio could go in there But i want to bred in this big tank to make a few $$$ here and there to keep my fish hobby going.. Thanks everyone im emptyin out the tank now and old gravel and will add the gravel in the next few weeks Will my tank still cycle without the heater going in it??? plz let me know cheers

I use to sell fry on trademe 20 for 20 dollars and i use to get 2 or 3 people a week come and buy them So they do sell i reckon.. Not as fast as the other fish I dont want to buy one pair and breed my own strain just decent fish I think throw the lot in and see what they do thanks for the heads up on the name
