  1. Maybe he's just runty or not as healthy as the others. Could also be missing out on food if he's not as pushy. :dunno: If you can get some, try the wormer - it can't hurt at the right dosage, might fatten him up again.
  2. awww cutie :love: .... the cat looks like he is about to make a quick get away haha thanks
  3. what about turtles? ones of a compatible size with the fish of course
  4. Broadcasting Complaints Authority! Dob em in! :spop:
  5. how are you doing Jack? I hope you are not still hungover from hanging out with Andy :slfg:
  6. looks nice but I think I can see one glosso leaf out of place
  7. I've had loaches recover from skinny disease after being treated with levamisole, 3 have not. And thus they were named Mr Skinny 1, 2 and 3 before they died 8) . The other name we have it under in the search is Aviverm. The rate I use is as follows: 1 ml per 100 litres when the cause is known. 1 ml per 150 litres when the cause is unknown. Usually I do the first one anyway. leave for 24 hours with no lights. then gravel vac & 25-40% water change. do smaller water changes over the next few days. It's safe to use in the main tank as it's selective, will only kill the worms it's supposed to kill. If you look in my loach tank thread (see signature) towards the end you will see I recently dosed and the group perked up, but Mr Skinny 3 died. When they get so skinny that their 'rib cage' is fatter than their abdomen and their head looks a little big for the body, then it's likely game over and they will get skinnier and skinnier over a couple of weeks, join with the group less (though still hunting food), until they get unsociable and start resting more than they are moving.... and then goodnight. My last one tried to hide under the wood to die so keep checking to make sure they don't die in an inconvenient place.
  8. did you only lose 2 then?

  10. I'd love to see a couple more photos of him, especially if you have one of him in his special chair :love:
  11. 10 is still great, and if you're going to sell them later they will have paid for their parents :sage:
  12. 1 week and 2 oto later, anubias is green again and crypts are polished and shiny :slfg: gotta love those little guys :love:
  13. I must be a bit of a loopo (a bit?), I'm having a sniffle over someone else's dog &c:ry .... it's good he isn't suffering anymore though. Admittedly he probably didn't know any better or really know what was going on with him, after all he'd been through and he still went for your chilli haha :slfg: Dogs are cool.
  14. will bilge hose likely be food safe? I don't trust Burnsco staff to know.... black rubber might be that stuff I killed my CPDs with
  15. Jack and Bruce, I have been thinking of you guys today .... unless there is some sort of a miracle between now and tomorrow, I hope you have a lovely last evening together... sending hugs from a cat person who also love dogs
  16. I had a fighter and I think he was attacked as he looked really rough and beaten up one day and then slowly went down hill. If the tetra are having a go at him that's most likely the issue and you might need to think about giving him his own digs or isolating him as others have suggested.
  17. aww poor Bruce. I'm so sorry for you going through this Jack. When my cat went to sleep I felt relief mixed with the sadness - happy that he was finally free of his used up body, but so sad for myself and the hole he left behind.
  18. I read a book that said one of things you could do was to keep the new cat in one room of the house, but in some sort of pen so the other cats can come and smell the newbie without having to make contact. That could work... or be completely impractical if you want to use that room of the house :roll:
  19. cough cough :spop: maybe i need to come for a visit
