You might also consider joining the Tasman Aquarium Club. Some of their members have large tanks and could show you what their stands look like and how to go about it. Check out the home page (click on the logo top left of the page) under clubs. Helen is their contact and she will be able to help.

Love that last pic. It is too cold down here for them to be spawning yet

Aren't these marine fish? (I don't know if they are livebearers). You might get more response if this was in the marine section. Would you like it moved?

Contact the news media too.

Now there's an offer! How many clubs can offer a sleepover with the sharks! :bounce:

Ouch! Please don't post the pics here. Email them to those who requested to see them. At least you will eventually be able to use the hand again once it has healed. Now you know what it is like for someone who has had a stroke My mother in law was paralysed down her right side from a stroke at the age of 42. She eventually learned to do all sorts of things and was qute inventive when it came to doing stuff without asking for help. The thing most find worst, when unable to use their right hand, is wiping their bottom :-?

Welcome to The Fishroom

Note wok's recipe makes a HUGE cake! (or should that be cocolae, as per the heading?)

You are right livingart. He may not have been in here in his own right but he is usually nearby when I post and I read him out anything I think might be of particular interest, or is funny.

I suspect they like the large flat surfaces of the discus. They will be nibbling on the slime coat. Plecs often do that to discus too

Garden centres. Make sure it is natural peat and not one with mould inhibitors and other stuff that might be toxic to your fish.

I fill mine up with the ceramic noodles. I run a Jebo 819 at the moment and it has thin filter pads in each tray that get very clogged up with black muck but it doesn't impede the flow.

That cake you made for the exec meeting was absolutely divine thank you very much wok. You are an excellent baker. Would you post the recipe in the off topic section? :bounce:

Good childbearing hips

Like Stella, I clean my filters as little as possible.

Yes, females are bigger and fatter.

Very nice! :bounce:

Well when our Navman died suddenly, a week before we were to head overseas with it, it was sent to Auckland for urgent repairs. A brand new replacement arrived within two days - all programmed with settings and preferences etc to match the previous one. :bounce:

I am just starting the muffins. Not as fancy as wok's chocolate cake but easier to carry in a backpack :roll:

Heir, do you mind others adding their good stories or would you rather it be on a separate thread?

Very nice (both the curtains and the tanks) :lol: Those blinds are expensive too. My one small one in the kitchen cost more than the rest of the ordinary curtains in the whole dining room (inc those on the ranchslider) :roll:

If you have small fry in a tank then a sponge filter is the way to go. You could also run a simple box filter with the lid removed so they don't get stuck in it My Shark internal filter has 2 centre inserts over which fits 2 sponges. I am sure I could remove one insert and sponge and use noodles in that half of it couldn't I?

I don't know. I can't eat sausages these days but others will be able to.

a pointy stick :lol: I have decided to bake some of my popular bran muffins (aka fluffin muffins or poo pellets by my kids) as they are easiest to travel with on the ferry.

must be you
