Do not worry about the expiry date on pills. It is there to help us work out which stock is oldest so the product is rotated in the correct order. Pills are a very stable form and these can be used when past their use by date. Liquids are a different matter!

Welcome. I bet there are a few here who envy you your job! 8)

I too suspect they are stressed. This may be because of water conditions, tank positioning, or fellow inhabitants. It may also have something to do with what is on the kitchen counter. Is there something there they may be trying to get to? Is is blue and they think it is a larger tank? :lol:

A lot of houses going up around here use polystyrene as insulation. It gets wet with no adverse effects.
-
Looks like they will need to be removed from the discount list of retailers in the AW. Anyone know of any other shops listed that are no longer trading?
-
That's a new one on me too! Are you cycling with fish?

I don't think the need for driftwood is so great these days (as a dietary aid) as most bottom feeder pellets have the required ingredients in them.

HOWDY! ONE MORE ROOKIE UNTO THE FORUM DEAR FRIENDS!
Caryl replied to PALUDARIUM PRINCE's topic in Welcome
Welcome to the forums PP. Would love to see some pics of your tanks. -
Do you mean the Wainui Pet & Farm Supplies in The Strand?

The fizzing is the air coming out. It will stop. I didn't know terracotta altered the pH. :-?
-
Most important - the water quality she is in. Keep that excellent and make sure she isn't hassled and she will heal.
-
Makes you wonder how they got as far as the tarmac before someone noticed them - considering the speed they go. Perhaps they were hoping to apply for work as baggage handlers :lol: (just joking, and no offence meant to baggage handlers. I have never had a luggage problem myself)
-
Good thinking! I will get Grant to look into these options 8)

I have had 2 BNs develop a blister in a similar place. I thought they might be getting damaged when fighting over females (or with them). One of my BNs recovered but the other died. Neither had treatment of any sort.

Hi and welcome back Shelley. Good luck in the fish breeding endeavours.

I did mean the receipt but whetu's suggestion has merit too :lol:
-
I was told the dark ring was a result of overcooking
-
Make sure you keep the receipt! And keep it out of water and sunlight
-
Depends on how cold the room gets. Cover the tank with a blanket or something until you can get a replacement.

You can tell an egg is fresh if the whites pull away with the shell when they are peeled after hard boiling. You should never try to hard boil fresh eggs
-
No idea. I don't care how efficient a new one would be anyway as the gas price still rises regularly! :evil: The pellet fire seemed to give off a lot more heat too, even on low.

They work fine with the lid off. The fish swim in and nibble on the contents 8)
-
Thanks for your thoughts. I will have to look into it more closely I think. At this time of year the pond is so clear and the fish all tucked under the deck so an ideal time to suck out the sludge.
-
You mean a clear box filter that runs on an external pump? If so, just remove the lid.

Make sure you also ask politely
