How long has the tank been set up and do you siphon the substrate when you do the water changes? To me it is suspicious that all those that died were bottom dwellers. It makes me suspect a problem in the gravel.

I am more concerned about why you have some left in the medicine cabinet! When given this drug it is important to finish the whole course. Amoxycillin is a broad spectrum penicillin whereas E-mycin (recommended for cyano) is an antibacterial, macrolide. I do not know enough about them to advise but wonder if the Augmentin may attack other types of bacteria and so also kill off the good filter bacteria and maybe/or maybe not the cyano. Sorry I can't help at the moment but, once I find out a bit more about cyano I will ask my medical friends (they will need to know more about the cyano before they advise) and get back to you.

I've got some mini sag if you want it. PM me your address and I will post some. It posts well 8)

Quick and easy. I have seen them done like this too but, as evil said, with sides cut out as well. Easier to see how they are getting along if you can see through the sides. Thanks for the pics and all too.

Male guppies will attempt to try it with anything - male or female. :roll:

Yes it does - a LOT

Give us some pics eh? pretty please? I will have to come visit. Sorry we missed the last meeting

Peace? You mean I've had it wrong all these years? :lol:

Good point yarimochi. Everybody sing together... All we are saying, is give eggs a chance! Oh, that's give peas a chance isn't it? :lol:

No need to panic caper. Just remove the eggs.

I use a turkey baster

Thread it through plastic mesh

Perhaps they count the neck wrinkles like you do the rings on trees :lol: Just as well they didn't have to chop the head off to do it :bounce:

Print this thread off to show them. You will also find metronidazole under Trichozole as well as Flagyl Flagyl comes as a liquid and suppositories (not that you could get one into a discus :lol: ) whereas the Trichozole is pill form only - 200 and 400mg. You can also get Rozex which is metronidazole in topical form (with benzyl alcohol and 70% sorbitol added). It is an oil in water cream base so not sure if it would stay on under water.

Assuming your cold water fishes were goldfish, they produce a LOT more waste than smaller tropicals so your filter would clog up a lot faster - be it internal or external. Never 'replace' the sponges in any filter, unless they are dropping to bits. Just clean in used tank water when the water flow decreases significantly. I have sponges in an AquaClear that are over 10 yrs old and still going strong.

That's probably its lunch kneeling beside it

They probably can if they are not kept in unsuitable conditions

You want brittlestars? Search the rockpools on the Kaikoura coast. They are full of them

If you have a well maintained, balanced, well planted, well filtered etc tank then you do not need such things. I don't add anything to my tank if I can help it.

Mine are the opposite Michael. The males hide and wait for the females to come out for food. Once they are eating, and all seems safe, the males will then come out and chase everything else away :roll:

It depends on the type of goldfish. I have seen huge veiltail goldfish in with white clouds and they ignored them completely. The owner said the white clouds were too fast for them. Comets might be different.

There is a difference between them eating adult wcmms and eating the fry. The fry don't move as fast

If there's lots of plants they might miss one or two. Goldfish will eat anything :roll:

I have no idea what is it but if it does that to the fish I would be trying to remove it ASAP!

You'll throw them up? Why did you eat them in the first place? :lol: Have the fish been spawning? I know it is early but I have heard reports of some doing so. Too cold down here yet but spawning could rough a fish up like that. You need more females than males to spread the aggression.
