Sounds like you have a green oily surface scum :sml2: Has something changed recently, like the foods you are feeding? May be a buildup of phosphates from the fishfood? Try using paper towels laid across the surface to soak up the scum then reposition your filter outlets so you have more water surface disturbance.

Perhaps it was eaten by a native

Looking good! How old is Stephanie?

There is more to us than just this forum you know

There was a long time ago (I think, I can't remember back that far) but no worries :lol:

Yeah but luckily is doesn't happen very often :slfg:

Looks like you are the only one to give it a try David 8) It was number 7 you got wrong by the way.

Hi and welcome

One wrong David The missing one - you have to be quite old to get it. Think boy band

We had fun working out the names of the groups or artists at Quiz tonight. Let's see how many you can figure out... 1. AM/FM LEADER 2. Merhtens, Lloyd Webber, Mary McKillop, Mother Teresa 3 Cherry 240Z, Fairlady 120Y 4. William Takes A Break 5. Babies on a slab 6. As (think science) 7. Charles 8. Labrador, Pug, Poodle, Dark 9. Honest Taser 10. Albino Adder

I'm not so sure congratulations is quite the right word :roll:

I do like those mandarins. Is the last fish supposed to be that odd shape?

Welcome David. I hope you enjoy the role

http://www.wwdshop.com/uk/ I assume it is sent from the UK and shipping costs incurred mind you.

Exactly how I do it too!

I understand you are mad but you should have got some sort of clue when you were not getting answers in the first place. To then throw good money after bad just made it worse. Lay a complaint with Trademe and/or contact the police yourself.

I believe it can do permanent damage and not sure what there is you can do for it :dunno:

Could be cory eggs but I would expect a lot more (unless the rest were eaten)

You can better the health of a fish but not "unstunt" it. Once the damage is done, usually by not feeding enough or correctly when young, it is permanent.

What's in the tank?

It took me a while to figure it out but got there in the end :roll: :happy2:

One would hope masses of plants, a good sized bit of driftwood and regular water changes would be enough to keep it steady at a pH that is not too alkaline. Fish are pretty adaptable.

Went for a walk up the hill. Helped Grant clear and flatten all the cardboard boxes in the garage (and break up and bag the polystyrene) so he can fit thew MX5 back in the garage. Cardboard went to recycling centre (filled the whole back of the Odyssey with all the seats down!). A pity they won't take the polystyrene Went to neighbours' to feed the fish and discovered their hot water pipe overflowing down the roof and water starting to come through the ceiling. Oh dear. They will not be happy on their return from holiday! Turned the water off and called the friend we were told to call if there was any problem. He will organise a plumber if the leak continues. Hopefully James does not have Net access where he is holidaying and reads this :tears: (It was minor leakage inside James, honest! Just drips we think came from around the pipe and under the flashing) Finished current book and... Finished my 2000 piece jigsaw. Got two 1500's left to go.

I too got sick of the narration and sound effects. Better to watch it with the sound off

If it is fine and not too much of it may not make much difference.
