We don't have a pet shop here Oscarboy, just a garden centre with a few tanks.

Anyone smoke in the house?

Not quite right I don't think. Warren said how it works once but I can't remember exactly what he said. :roll: It does give protection between the tank and the hard surface the tank sits upon. The sleeping pads aren't as dense but I have seen people use just towels so I don't see why they wouldn't have some good effect. Better than nothing I guess.

Brad is on the Gold Coast somewhere isn't he?

I think I might put some out in my pond at the edge and see how it goes.

If the killies can cope then the Java will as well

How big they grow depends on how well they have been fed, especially as young. They can reach over 15cm

Fly spray/Pestrol, around beardie tank

If you let the neardie out, won't it eat the flies? -
There's only 2 of us but we run a lot of electronic equipment 24/7 plus 2 heat pumps (we use gas heating in the lounge). Apart from the one gas fire, all our stuff is electric. Our power bills are around $200. We are now running the pond pump so it will be interesting to see what a difference it makes on the next bill.

Hard to tell without removing the mass and looking at it under a microscope. Sounds like a cyst. A cyst of what depends on what you see under the microscope. Most cysts seem to be non spreadable and no treatment is required. I think it will burst on its own then heal over. Keep an eye out for secondary fungal infections though and make sure water conditions are as good as they can be.

If your power bill is really that high I would be having it checked - uless some of your tanks are marines and running metal halides or something equally power hungry. We used to have 18 tanks running here (no double glazing and fancy stuff anywhere) and our power bill was never anywhere near that. Do you run underfloor heating?

No, they just eventually float to the surface and the fish nibble on them in passing.

Hi and welcome. I think it is poo too and your goldfish isn't well. How long have you had the fish? It could be just settling in (they can sulk for a while) and, depending on what it was being fed, it can alter the colour and texture of the poo. Bits of red in it, plus it being white and stringy, doesn't sound good and it might have internal parasites of some sort (inc worms). Any sign of redness about the gills or breathing rapidly?

I think you will find pH Up is just an expensive way to buy baking soda too. Wouldn't use it myself as the pH will swing

Obviously it is the blind tetra's guardian angel

No, big pots

Yes I have had golden barbs in a pond outside over summer. Problem would be catching them again :-?
-
I only work 1 day a week Oscarboy and that is only because I like it. I don't actually have to work.
-
I've always left my cucumbers in until they disappeared over the week. Usually all that remains after a few days is the rind and it slowly disintegrates.

Loking good Kezza

Good luck to all you poor suckers sitting exams at this time - from those of us who aren't 8)

Better for them to eat the feeders than the loaches.
-
Separate it.

Skippy doesn't appear to have been in here since March

Not fussy about conditions. Likes a good amount of light. It can be planted in the substrate (but don't bury the top of the roots) or used as a floating plant. It grows baby plants off the edges of the main leaves.
