the photos are great, I like their uniforms I like the idea of taking part in roller derby but the knowledge that I could break or hurt something that would stop me from participating is off putting. EIther that or I would go all out competitive and that would make me not a very nice person I suspect :evil:

do they get as violent as in the movies?

:spop: :spop:

:thup: that fish is surreal are you sure those are natural dots, you didn't paint them on?

:spop: :spop: moth catfish?

the photos in your thread always take a long time to load for me but is worth it

Watering the garden or putting the washing out also makes it rain for me

I don't assume anything because I am often wrong

Tested my tap water this morning and it's 10ppm. Tank 1 (original place of fish) is 10-20 - closer to 20 Tank 2 (new place) is 20 Ammonia in both is between 0 and 0.25. Funnily enough the fish seems more perky today in the 2nd tank and is interested in food again. The meth blue colour has mostly disappated - would it still alter the tests? I don't know if I am looking for the colour affecting the colour or the effect affecting the colour.

not lately

it had been 0 a few days before though :dunno: I didn't have the 2 tests side by side, should have done. I didn't understand properly till after I'd meth blued the tank that the nitrifying bacteria would die so I presume that is the result of the spike. If I had realised I would have tested the water during the week. Hopefully she will improve overnight. She wasn't flashing much and certainly not when I visited her just now after a spell in the other tank. In the nitratey tank I've dumped a load of moss, that should bring the level down again shouldn't it?

I am missing something vital here.... in the breeding tank where I just meth-blued to zap any fungus the nitrate has gone quite high within the week. It's 10ppm+ which I believe isn't too bad but for it to get there in a few days would not be pleasant for my fish, who incidentally was flashing about and not eating. Anyway, I changed 8 out 22 litres but the nitrate level didn't go down. I would have thought that putting fresh water in would give her some relief. Luckily I had another tank next door with no nitrate reading so I put her in there instead.

it's an aging John Travolta stayin' alive stayin' alive ha ha ha ha ....

I bet that felt good 8)

:love:

oh no &c:ry

stop being naughty you lot :sage:

haha he's just rearranging the living room to be how he likes it. :sml2: does he eat the moss?

me too !drool:

Uni is the same or worse but you get longer holidays at least

now she looks like a John Dory :facepalm: poor fish I like the photobomber :gigl:

cutie little fish! I hope you have more cool photos for POTM :spop:

if you don't like tests, just wait for Uni :cofn:

nice leaves :gigl: This tank already is getting a 'Deepsound' feel to it.... show me the fish! :spop:

I want to say something useful but I don't have the experience really, all my fish have died of odd illnesses. :-? I do know that very high quality water will aid healing in a natural way but it sounds like she will be a bit bruised for a while. Salt in the water may help fight infection but am not sure if those fish and her tankmates will enjoy that. I wonder if she needs glasses :smln:
