Leopardfish, Phalloceros caudimaculatus are lovely little fish and easy to look after. I have not seen them for sale in shops very often. A few would be fine. They are a live bearer and more likely to spawn after a water change

Are conditions in the QT tank the same as the main tank (pH, temp etc)? Seems to me the loach was stressed by the move from QT. Hopefully it is unlikely the other fish will catch it since you caught it quite quickly. I would think if they were going to get it they would have done so by now. I think 10 days after treatment has finished is recommended but if you have treated it then put it back in the same tank as before the same thing might happen again.

A quick search will find a number of images of goldfish anatomy showing the position of the stomach and intestines. Goldfish are very messy and produce a lot of waste!

Welcome. I hope you recover soon! :lol:

Depends on what you have running on it though!

Looking good but pics are way too small (for my eyes anyway) fitting that many on a card (which is also too big. Needs to be 9cm x 5.5 if I remember correctly. The printers also said to make sure nothing is too close to the edge that will matter when they get cut as they sometimes lose a bit around the edges.

Tasman's fish display had 12 tanks and equipment running off 1 double outlet. It was checked by an electrician to make sure it did not exceed the maximum load allowed on a single circuit.

Apparently the card designer only has a pic of that much plec - no tail :-?

What a neat idea! http://www.woehr.de/en/projekte/budapest_m730/index.htm

As far as I understood, swords are just a sub species of platies so would interbreed. It is only selective breeding that produced the tail shape. A book I have here says "mutual cross breeding of the sub species as well as pure strains is undesirable" so that says to me they will do so. By that I mean various platy types will interbreed, not that they will breed with mollies or guppies

Wasn't on here. I am sure I would have noticed someone selling snakes! He got off lightly. I am wondering though when he said he couldn't bring himself to kill them and didn't want to set them free because that would be stupid. What did he think selling illegal species on the Internet was - savvy marketing?? :roll:

Never trust a Vogon! :lol:

Jude there is no white colour, just absence of colour leaving it white. If I used blue card on the last one the writing would also be blue from the card.

Does it make it hard for him to see or anything?

The settings on heaterstats are not very accurate. I assume before when your thermometer said 26C the heaterstat was also set at 26C?

Well, Tasman now has 10 new members, a higher local profile, about 20 more people they plan to follow up on (expressed interest but did not sign up at the time) and approx $1,600 raised :bounce: Excellent job and well done to the whole club. The majority of members pitched in and contributed in a myriad of ways. Not all were able to spend time there, due to work commitments, but several popped in whenever they could. Others set up their aquariums, or provided fish and/or plants etc. A good crowd was there to dismantle it all in the end. Sorry I couldn't stay for the pizza but I had a 2hr drive home. On arrival I discovered tea all nicely cooked for me plus a new computer ready and waiting! :bounce: :bounce: Grant had been busy while I was gone. He would have gone with me but was on call so had to stay behind. At least he got to visit the display a couple of times during the week as work had him over that way. Extra kudos to club President, Herrie, who got it all off the ground despite many saying "You can't do that, we don't have enough time to get organised!" They now have a club with renewed enthusiasm and high hopes of keeping the momentum going. Indeed, their next meeting (at Helen Fowler's place) will be a 2 level affair Tania (Tanya?) upstairs talking about breeding and raising discus and downstairs in the garage Jeremy will be demonstrating tank repairs and builds. GO TASMAN!!!

I would tell bdspider what she could do with her suggestion but this is a family forum :lol: I think I will go into the local photocopy and business card making shop and price professionally printed ones too then those with lots of colour won't matter

Here is a late entry Card 8

They will be done on a colour laser on white card. I prefer the ones that do not have block strips of colour That looks good axolotl-danio. I have actually liked them all! :-?

My only problem with some, like 7, is they require precision cutting. Since I cut them up on a cheap guillotine this is not possible so a lot of time would be wasted trimming white bits off when I miss :roll:
