You might find my marbles too :roll:

I just photograph at night. Shut all curtains, turn off house lights. Have as much actual tank lighting as possible and use the flash on an angle. If you can use a tripod or something to keep the camera still it helps too.

Nice to know she's happy having gone UP a size :lol:

HEAPS!! :lol: Start reading...

Welcome back oscarboy. I use spiralina a lot and never had problems with it.

Are there any pics?

I was the first member so have had more time to post than the rest of you. When Cees first set up the site I was the only one who had access to it for a while as he used me as the guinea pig to see if I could use it, find bugs etc. So I had a head start At the time I had never heard, or seen, of forums so he figured if I could follow his instructions, anyone could.

Welcome to The Fishroom

She isn't as cleaver as you think as all I can see is a square that says "Image not available"

Hi again Tigger. Of course we allow foreigners - gotta have someone to laugh at :lol:

It will house the oscars alone. Is the tank higher than it is wide? Surface area is important and oscars need room to swim widthwise.

The stars are pretty meaningless in the overall scheme of things.

I have had an ordinary bristlnose explode. I have no idea why and none of the other fish were affected :-?

The overseas trend is to do fishless cycling but I think that idea is nuts. Set up the tank. Add water, filter and heaterstat. If you leave it for 5 days or so it enables you to check the temperature has stabilised and is right for the fish you want to keep. The tank will not start to cycle though with just water in it. After you have checked the temp is stable, add 6 hardy fish. Neons are not hardy. If you are wanting to keep platys then add 6 of them. Wait a week then add another 6 fish. Continue this until you have reached your stocking level. This way will build up the bacteria slowly and surely.

Finely crushed flake is enough.

Your tank is too small for all those fish. The remedy is to rehome most of them

Peas work well for constipated fish. The hardest part is getting the fish to actually eat it

What sort of goldfish are they? Your tank is too small and you are stunting their growth.
