If you have been away, were the rest of the family members? Was the house shut up? That, combined with the lights being left on will be the culprit. I should think the water chnages plus added oxygen will see them coming right (hopefully) over the next day or two. Others have mentioned that white cobwebby algae before. Remove it by hand, or siphon it up, and see if it returns once conditions are back to normal.

What makes you all so sure the room can't be that hot at 2am? Ours is :-? Actually, the computer room is currently 28.3C and it does not drop much, if at all, overnight. That is the reason we have aircon in the bedroom! Now, if I could just hide the remote so Grant doesn't turn it off complaining that 17C is too cold... :tears: :sick:

I will check with my daughter but she is away at the moment.

You are in Wgtn, a lot of members here are in Wgtn, ask (or tell us which suburb you are in) and see if one of them is near you to offer matured filter media. I am sure someone will be able to help! Some work in pet shops, I am sure they can help, even if they take media from home to work for you.

Best time to search is after a storm or flood (make sure it is safe though of course) as new pieces will have been flushed out and washed down stream

Would you please explain the attraction of albino fish? Most of us like fish for their colours and patterns but there is a good number who prefer the albinos. Just curious 8)

Join the NZKA. They swap eggs and fish with other killie members. Wok or Barrie can help you there or go to the clubs page for contact details etc.

I hold my cucumber down using a lead fishing sinker. Others use them to weigh down driftwood that refuses to sink.

Bleach and ammonia are two different things! You need pure ammonia too I believe. I think the stuff in supermarkets has additives.

Your male platy needs more females. Either provide him with more (if you have the room) or remove him.

Get the tank repaired and while you are at it get another bigger tank as well. No problem! :happy2:

My electric yellows lived and bred happily in a pH of 7.0

Welcome. Sounds the ideal size for a flat. I can't advise on pet shops in Wgtn but suphew works in one of the Pet Centres and Chris (both members here) works at another. Both are very knowledgeable about fish keeping.

Hmmm perhaps ponds are different but I had a UV on the tank to help clear a whitespot outbreak then, when I had fish dying in the pond, I added it to the pond. The fish stopped dying (but that may have been coincidence) but I had a sudden outbreak of blanket weed that I had never seen in the pond before. It started to smother everything. I turned the UV off and the blanket weed died. :-? This seems the opposite of what others are saying on using them on a tank :dunno:

Gorgeous tank :love:

Most definitely. But it might just be old age -

Marmite is good for arthritis too. Gave a friend's dog a new lease on life! Gave Grant about 6 months :-? -

I am so looking forward to conference this year :happy1: -
When I started school we had a pot bellied stove in the middle of the room :roll: :-? I would think the tank would need to be kept more 15C than 18C though?

Then you haven't heard me complain about my Eheim wet/dry! They are one filter I would never recommend to anyone and it put me off buying any Eheims, which is a pity as I understand they are all good - except the model I have :roll: .

Classrooms have air con these days???
