yeah its downstairs in the living room away from the front door and the windows. I like the idea of a bigger tank

i think its about 250l and the room temp goes up and down depending on the temp outside which has been 38 - 41 lately. hopefully not planing on being here to long but thats a famous saying in this town lol might try the fan idea and see how it goes thanks

Im currently living in a mining town in the outback of Australia and the temp in my tank sits on about 26 - 27 (no heater) with the air con on and at night but during the day it gets up to around 36 so i started leaving the air con on but after a really expensive power bill i cant leave it on so just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to keep it cool?

you could name it Fish & Tips. Sell the fish and give out info on them.

That is scary!!!

Found some for sale on trademe, not sure if this person knows what they are selling!!! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Pets-animals/F ... 317038.htm

Im in Mount Isa in QLD and it hit us last night, but it wasnt that bad when it did (i think it was rated at a 1)but we do have bad flooding now. no lives lost so thats the main thing i guess! lots of clean up work todo!!

Ive got tanks ready to go so i should, fun days ahead

Just in a big mixed tank. Should they be in there own tanks now?

Got home today after work and went to feed my fish and noticed 1 of my kadangos where holding and 2 of my livingstonii and 1 of my E.yellows! Diddnt notice any yesterday so it must of been a pretty busy day in there

My bristlenose laid eggs about 2 days ago for the first time but they just have left them in the cave and arnt looking after them or fanning. was wondering if they can survive like this? they are still amber in colour

Mine had one because it burnt its head on the heater trying to get behind it.

So along with the city falling apart im sure alot of fish keepers had afew tragedies. I woke up to a couple of fish flaping around on the ground from my tank in the livingroom and managed to get them to safty then rushed out to my fish room to check on my fishy friends out there and they were all ok but then had the problem of having 6 tanks to heat with no power so had to set up the gas heater and hoped the power came back soon. all my tanks got down to about 19deg but after a few hours the power came back on and all temps are up and havnt had any die so im happy after a stressfull day I hope nobody had any losses

Yeah they are about half cm big.

yeah a mate told me he feed his baby goldfish, so i tried it

i got him on saturday and they said he was eating frozen blood worms but he doesnt seem to eat them. Got him in with afew young goldfish but hes leaving them alone. Anyone got any ideas? hes young and only about 5cm long

sweet thanks. iits a 150l tank and have about 13 or so fish left! another 8 died today!!!!

stress coat and stress zyme

I do it every 2 weeks, i did 1 last weekend and again today. I add treatment when i do it aswell. I added melafix earlier and they have picked up abit. hope it helps. Anything esle i could do?

Sorry temp is the same. just had a good look and it looks like some of the fish fins a torn/split. is there a fin rot disease they could have?

Yeah i do have a air pump. Ive had the tank running for about 7months now. How can i get rid of the ammonia? i have ammo chips in the filter

And get the water from the house tap

Ph is at 7.0 Ammonia is about 0.25 - 0.50 temp is 24.7 atm 150l tank with a sunsun external filter suitable up to 250l tank at 1000l a hour

I have had 4 (2 black neon and 2 black widows) fish die in the last 2 days and there are afew fish (more black widows a blue ram, Kuhli loach and more) looking very unhappy. i do water changes and test the water offen. just done a water change and tests but it seems to be fine but its not looking good at this stage, any ideas on what could be happing? or what i could do? all swimming very slow and i can pretty much pick them up if i wanted to

Im sure they are pink convicts now, they just look very similar and there seems to be bugger all on white dwarf parrots. I went back to the shop where i got them from and they told me they were going to check so i dont think they 100% knew themselfs. Thanks for all your help
