  1. Before we do that the Wellington Aquarium and Watergarden Society produced an excellent 50 year booklet with the history in it. Interesting reading.
  2. Common in clown loaches and not necessarily a shop's fault.

    Changing tanks

    I would have thought there would be enough bacteria in the filter alone to do the job.
  4. Tim, sweetie darling, you forgot to put me on your mailing list again
  5. I would have said the black marks are just a colour variation and nothing to worry about. The paleness though is an indication the fish is sick/stressed or old.

    How do fish die

    One of the first symptoms a fish is unwell is clamped fins. After that there can be a great range of symptoms caused by a great range of problems. Too much ammonia can cause redness around the gills, as it burns.
  7. Constipated? Try getting it to eat a bit of shelled, cooked pea.
  8. Or, as Jim suggested, add another filter.
  9. I think the added plants may have temporarily upset the nutrients balance. What other problems?
  10. Crypts will often die off totally before re-growing. Cut back the largest leaves so the plant can concentrate more on the smaller ones.
  11. The details are sent in Excel but the information is transferred into Publisher. From there the font, size and kerning are all changed to fit the new format. The various bits then get colour coded to make it easier to read :roll: Not only do I copy and paste a lot of it (but some gets retyped as it is actually quicker), but I also have to check the details. For instance, one club list has 4 incorrect details - that I noticed. No idea how many I haven't noticed! I have to double check spellings, addresses, numbers etc etc and hope all clubs have remembered to add the postcodes. The 4 I have so far have done so.
  12. FYI, it has taken me 4 hours to update just 4 club member lists - and one of them only has 3 members! This should give you some idea what a long and tedious job it is. It is at times like this I wonder why I am a volunteer :-? :roll:
  13. Depends on what sort you have. Some heat up when the crystals inside are broken and I don't think they are particularly re-useable. Others, as said, go in the microwave
  14. Only the headings go to me, the money and member lists go to JANE. I hope all clubs noted her new address...
  15. Ditto, an excellent offer. Thanks Loopy.
  16. Can't name and shame as clubs have had AGMs and are supposed to have sent updated details to me by now, so I don't know who is to blame. :roll: I received club heading details from CAPS, DAPS, HBAS, KMAC, MAC, NZKA, SAAWGS, UHAS and WAS Still waiting for AFA, NSAS, WAPS, WAWGS, WBPAPS. Tasman haven't had their AGM yet so have no information as yet and TAPS have gone into recess. If some other club members can help out with the heading details, at least, it would be appreciated. Then ring your club officials and ask them why they have not done their job.
  17. Spawning angels aren't ok with anything :roll: but the serpaes will cope and be able to get out of their way.
  18. Tannins are brown. Green water is algae. Possibly triggered by the driftwood (although it has never happened to me) and should clear on its own after a few days. How long has the tank been set up? Something is out of balance and this is common while a tank is still cycling.
