  1. Hi all, Have a good friend trying to make an account for fnzas forums, but keeps getting prompted with "You may not register with an anonymous email address" , surely gmail accounts are fine?
  2. Awesome work on the tank man, so glad they went to a great home :thup: . also curious as to what he was (7th pic) anyone? and hopefully one day can restart my fish hobby haha just noticed the lil synodontis in the pic glad to see him still going strong! amazed my group of syndontis even breed. lol haha yeah man those yellows and red empress i got off you turned out soooo good what happens when u get good stock from friends!!!
  3. As i was telling ryan tonight, hybrids are a great burely , when i first started off with cichlids and found hybrids, i would grow them up and use them as fishing burely . :spop: Agree with all of the above, cull them. or send them my way and i can use it on our next fishing trip :thup:
  4. Wow man that is really **** ! we'll if you need anything or a hand let me know man will see what i have laying around the shed or ask my bro if u can borrow till you can replace it. How's the shed anyway?
  5. Play a lot of BC2, Tf2 , WoW, DoD source Just bought Warhammer 40K - Space Marines absolute blast :thup: Dead Island though stopped till they fix the ridiculous bugs for MP wise for PC.

    Fish dying :(

    out at mates, but this morning, there's only 10 alive still. so thinking, just not going to even take a chance and put them back in, whats the best way to euthanize fish ?

    ah that sucks man any visible signs on the fish? for me, one thing i just remembered was the neon's were sitting down the bottom of the tank, which is very unlike neons. so i am thinking it was more something in my tank terms of poison? though i could be completely wrong.

    UV filter

    Valid point David, now that quarantine tank is up, will be using it. and look at a getting a UV down the track. Also with the planted tank, what would be the best approach now to do in terms of making sure the tank is fine, i did 100% water change on thursday. leave the tank fish free for couple of weeks?

    Ah thanks man, was trying to remember the name you told me at the expo. Cool we'll 50/50 if i am going to get a UV filter yet, as unsure if it will rectify my problem. nah should be alright if i go down that route to use fishstreet for 2 - 3 weeks, since i have placed the remaining fish in a quarantine tank with wonder tonic and salt.

    UV filter

    Yeah i would say your right dude, lesson we'll learn't - A) listen to ryan and get cardinals , B) listen to Ryan :slfg: I lost a whole bunch yesterday, maybe 20 when in quarantine tank, but since then nothing has died... i am however reluctant to put the fish back in should they be now more susceptible to what ever it is, or possibly carry the disease onto the new fish once i get around to thinking its safe. Yeah i set up that 1.2 m tank that was used for gold fish tank as new quarantine tank, pretty much every single fish is going in there from now on. to me it's not the $$, it was the why are they dieing, pitty don't have access yet to microscope. As to getting a UV filter, still 50/50 on it, where as others i have spoken too say its good to have and have had no problems, but then i see the other POV too... ohhh decisions! :slfg:

    UV filter

    Yeah mainly for killing parasites like whitespot, really just trying to cover all areas, as my fish disaster that has just occurred. I just can't imagine what i have done wrong that would warrant such a large scale massacre of fish to drop suddenly. I am unsure what killed my fish still, lost 100 neons in matter of 4 days. :dunno: sigh maybe just end up with a heavily planted tank and have no fish with my luck lol :tears:

    UV filter

    Hi, Just wondering for a tank of 375 ltrs, what recommendation would people suggest that would be good enough for it? Or what i should look for in a UV filter? Has anyone had any experience with the Blue Planet UV Sterilizer brand?

    Fish dying :(

    My routine WC was twice as week, of 25% , one on monday, one on friday with same water temp as the tank. and i run two external canister filters on the tank, one sunsun, one Eheim 2075 Pro 3 . dose with prime and TLC Bacteria . @ snowman - yeah i had done 70% water change on monday, i have 2 internal filters pumping just above the surface to create tons of oxygen in the tank. nope that's the weird thing nothing has been added other than fish so i :dunno: @ Ryanjury - thanks again man, i have just set up the 1.2m tank for the fish that is still alive. got wonder tonic and salt in it with internal filter cranking. so here's hoping what ever it is is going to be killed. i did however also , drain all the water from the tank out, and start again in case there was something in the water that was causing them to die, though no one in the house uses fly spray or anything that is harmful. doors are always closed. gave me ability to catch all the dead decaying fish that i couldn't see in between all the plants so that was helpful. going to be buying a UV filter tmrw from HFF, mainly for peace of mind if there is any parasite in the tank hopefully be killed. along with keeping tank extra clean for when i get the discus, though that seems a long way from now, since this disaster :tears: plus be good for when i increase the lights, i read UV filter helps kill some algae. From now on going to quarantine every single fish i buy, regardless of where it came from. So less learn't the hard way lol :tears: would this be suitable or a decent UV filter? tank is 375ltrs http://www.trademe.co.nz/Pets-animals/Fish/Pumps-filters/auction-402513648.htm

    Yeah i am taking a water sample tmrw into HFF, too see if my test kit is knackered. atm the symptoms they are showing, is all the fish is hanging at the bottom of the tank, looking lethargic which is bizarre since the neons and other fish were schooling all over the tank only a few days ago

    Fish dying :(

    Hi all, so within the last 3 - 4 days, i have noticed my fish dying at an alarming rate, i have probably lost close to 40 Neon tetras maybe more, and also my aggazi and 2 killies and scarlet badis + GBA &c:ry ... i am unsure what the heck is happening. But i found one killie fish that is practically on its last legs , tried to take photos of it. i suck trying to get a decent photo that or my cheap canon is horrible Either way it looks to me as a type of fungus, though non of the neons or other fish showed this symptoms on them, i have tested the water twice with in the last 2 days, and no ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, ph is 6.8. Again sorry for bad photo.
