Hiya and welcome. It would help if you added your location to your profile (top right of the page click on User Control Panel) then you might get more personal help if needed in the future Sounds like you are really getting into it again if you already have 3 tanks. :lol:

But that has already been done elsewhere. Don't you want something more original? 8)

Well you are going to have to All bagged and stamped and ready to go :bounce:

Or go scrounge at any place that sells whiteware. They will probably give it to you (the poly, not the whiteware)

Not this issue but the series isn't finished yet

Conference weekends are always fun! Is there a specific bakery competition?

Hi all. Taking a break from bagging, addressing and stamping Aquarium World magazines so thought I would let you know what is on offer this issue... Darren has continued his excellent series on the plecs. This time it is the carnivores - Pseudacanthicus & Scobinancistrus We get step by step instructions on how to make a terrarium in a light bulb Find out some ways to feed fry Are you allergic to fish food? Find out. We show some lovely photos of flowering aquatic plants There is a report on the Hawkes Bay Aquarium sleepover and tank competition weekend Find out how zebra danios can mend a broken heart How heavy is your tank? Osmoregulation. What the...? Raising Apistogramma eunotus fry Find out the top 10 reasons fish go belly up Discover some external tank background ideas and learn about jewel anemones Plus more! Hopefully, if I get them finished, all will be posted tomorrow :bounce:

And were the fish then more fertile?

Go spread your bugs!!!! 8)

I read the title and thought "Wow, if they can't tell the difference they have a problem!" :lol: Mice stink, fish don't. The kids need to get used to nature and the life (or death) cycle. As Zev suggested, remove all the females. You could also get rid of the live bearers. I know you said your danios spawned but, if I remember correctly, they weren't in the main tank at the time were they? (I might be confusing you with someone else) My egg layers spawn in the tank too but the eggs usually get eaten and only one or two fry occasionally survive. If you have a heavily planted tank and driftwood you can say the BNs are just hiding

That is so cruel!!! :evil: :lol:

We don't have any money

I missed a word, I meant to say the fish MAY have been dead.... I too have found live fish in a filter. You know the answer then - stop letting them watch Finding Nemo!

I have never had anything go through X-ray on an internal flight :-?

Didin't say anything. I just went on board carrying one of those squishable cooler bags. My sister and her daughter took bags of fish to Hamilton for me once and each had 2 large cooler bags full and nobody asked what was in them, nor they didn't say.

The fish have been dead and then as a result got sucked up the pipe. Not that they got caught in it in the first place.

I have carried fish onto planes (for internal flights, not international of course) a number of times (in cooler bags), and given them to others to do the same, with no problems. You just don't say "Oh, by the way, I have live fish in my bag" I travelled with an axolotl in an ice cream container once. The air hostess (remember when all flights had them?) said "Eeewww!" but didn't say I couldn't carry it.

I don't think we are allowed any shell dwellers in NZ. (Never heard of this fish either so I may be totally on the wrong track too :oops: )

Depends on the species. Genetics also comes into it. Or do you mean an adult fish with black spots and whether the fry have the spots from birth or whether they develop as the fish gets older?

Common names rainbow or redfin shark (Epalzeorhynchos frenatum, Labeo frenatus) I think. Very pale.

They might get the equivalent of an "ice cream headache" if you don't defrost them first :lol:

I have never had a nippy cherry barb. They are a lovely fish in a group and the males colour up spectacularly. A hardy species too in my experience.

Leave it to grow a while and see how it looks then

:lol: I am laughing too. I use warm water and a handful of salt. Salt kills most stuff and should get rid of any white marks (calcium deposits rather than soap scum I should think). An old credit card makes a good scraper.

Read this guy's account of his accident then look at the gallery of pics. Unbelievable! http://edgeofsomewhere.com/Journal/trauma-t1571
