yep, thats why I need a heater

how long befere they get to the free swimming stage. as I will need to buy a heater! - thanks dantedobe (if you have not guessed it all ready she is the one who gave me the fish)

my adult Angels that I got from a member of this forum have just had some fry, I had no idea so I have missed the egg part they are clinging on to a divers helmet that is in the tank the mum and dad are doing a great job picking up the eggs and moving them. any tips? looks like guppies are not they only fish that I can breed

I have a 24L tank sitting on the floor half full of water. any ideas?

whats the plastic bottle thing in the corner of the tank? :-? never seen one before.

Ok so this year for the Hawkes Bay Science Fair I plan on investigating if pollution is effecting our native freshwater fish population. The head of science has said that the National Aquarium is keen to help students with any “fish related” matters. But I thought that since many of you keep and breed native fish you might know something? Such as, - at what temperature(s) do they like to breed at? - what water conditions are the best kept in? - what air-born pollution would/can kill them? - how would higher temp.'s affect them? It would be great if you could help. Thank You

I have spent the last few weeks getting rid of my undergravel filters, they dont take any dirt out of the tank they just drag it to the bottom. :-?

I think the buddha is cool, lots of tanks have driftwood but how many have a buddha?

:lol: very good.

25'c - 27'c, mine are all on 26'c fish (as below) are all happy.

Thanks for all your help, I am still happy with him/her.

Thanks it is looking good with no signs of stress. But what I don't get is why pet shops sell fish under strange names and often the staff no nothing. do you have any ideas on the sex? :-?

hi they sold it as a "grey catfish" and charged me $12.00. :-? at the time it looked like a fair price?

hmmmm... ok :-? Thanks.

I all, I went into LFS just for a look and came out with this. can you give me a ID?

by some ramshorn snails then sell the baby snails = $$.

looks good, mine was like that for a few days just let the heater, filter, lights etc. run as normal.

keep the gravel otherwise there will be nothing for the plants to grow in.

I got some more female guppies today, I have about 30 now + 100's of babys.

you got it, my tanks also get hot in summer but this is why I float ice in them. we are getting a bit off topic here, mark1978 hows it all going have you worked out what type of fish it is?.

2x 60L 2x 21L 1x 90L all in one bedroom and always room for more! :lol:

goldfish are coldwater and get sick and can die at tempatures over 22'c.

a photo of a lionhead fish off the net.

there are many types of "Goldfish" fantails etc. are they lionheads as phoenix44 said because these are a coldwater fish and part of the goldfish family if there water temp. goes above 22'c they will become ill.
