  1. I think my some of my fish may have this, I was cleaning the filter last night from the hospital tank and found a worm that looks the same as these, it was still alive, Can these live in the filter for 24hr? as the fish were removed and put back in the main the previous night. Can I treat my whole tank? if so will I need a 100% water change?
  2. I keep bumble bee gobies with my puffers and there are fine, puffers don't seem to touch them but the bumble bees chase each other, also have an otto cat with them as well.
  3. Hey thanks for the advice, thats the dosage I thought for droncit. Should I try the Droncit first as its on the way to me now or should I get some Fenbendazole and treat with that? I think I will treat the whole tank as i don't want to miss any fish that are affected. Will either affect plants or filter?
  4. Haven't seen any worms, but is looking a little thinner, the electric blue ram that died was definitly thin, a couple of other fish looking a little thinner as well. I have some prazi on the way, is that the best thing to treat with? will I need to treat the whole tank? How long between treatments?
  5. Is the new filter quiet yet? There is no point trying to cycle a filter that is too noisy for you to put up with. Have you considered a different internal filter, I had an Aqua One internal and have recently replaced it with a fluval and the noise difference is amazing, the fluval is almost silent. Just another option to consider.
  6. Don't thnk it is constipated, but will try epsom salts, he eats flake, cichlid sticks, blood worm, and bottom feeder food. I was thinking possibly worms of some sort.
  7. Hi, Can anyone help, my blue acara is not well appears to have a swollen vent/anus, not eating as much and hiding a lot. Just had a electric blue ram die looks to be the same thing. Any suggestions of what it is and a treatment? Will se if can get a pic.
  8. Wouldn't it fit in a van with the seats out of the back, just a suggestion, could be less hassle than a trailer.
  9. Thanks, I was thinking osiris or ozelot, will the ozelot get tall enough? anyone have one that has grown that tall?
  10. I'm thinking about a taller sword plant for the corner of my tank, something that will grow to 50 - 60cm, I have a red special but seems to grow quite flat. would like something with rounder leaves rather than narrow. Any suggestions? Anyone have any for sale?
  11. With a little more research the FX5 is too big for my cabinet, so I bought a 405 to go along side the CF1200. Any Ideas for media configuration? I have set them up with both inputs at one end and both outputs at the other end.
  12. I got metro from the local vet, had to explain what I was for and how much I wanted(got a couple of weird looks too), then crushed it up and put it in the water.
  13. Isn't a FX5 going to be too much for my tank? They have quite a high output
  14. How would I set this up? both outputs at one end or 1 at each end or 1 spray bar and 1 straight? I will have a look when I get home to see if it will fit in the cabinet
  15. working on pics might have a go tonight.
  16. Kiwi you can come and see it next time your over if you want and thanks for showing us your tanks, they are amazing.
  17. Well organism was closed the time I was there,and the snowflake is such a good looking fish, but that could be the next on the list, I did speak to the guy at pet world in ferry road, he is going to be importing from peru late next year and hoping for some fancy plecos that we don't see very often, so keep your eyes out for them
  18. I think Steve at smith&smith here has done some tank building he may be able to replace to base for him.
  19. Sorry should have said I don't have space for another canister, I have thought about a bigger canister but I also like the idea of 2 filters in case 1 fails
  20. Hi, I have a 300L 4' tank running a aqua one cf1200 and I have been using a aqua one 102f internal to boost flow but is getting noisy and have just put it in the quarantine tank. I was thinking either Eheim aqua ball or Fluval U3 Has anyone got either of these? any recomendations or something else to look at?
  21. Thanks for the replies, I got a L142 snowflake on monday, decided to go with a show fish rather than something to breed (they can be next). I will try to get a pic soon.
  22. Yes Magnum is another I am looking at, I think the gold nugget can get aggresive and already have a couple of bottom dwellers so don't won't to piss them off too much.
  23. thanks flatfish, nice pic, I have looked at them before and almost bought one. It's too hard to choose, I want them all, not enough $$ or tank space. Does any one have blue phantoms and have any pics?
  24. There are some available that I have found about 5cm. I have a vermiculated synodontis about 10cm, will they be ok together? I have read they can be slightly aggressive, there is plenty of hiding spots, bogwood, plants and rocks.
