  2. She might be producing new and absorbing them constantly. I don't keep them myself so am not talking from experience. If the fish is eating well and behaving normally then I wouldn't be concerned, otherwise I would attempt to squeeze her myself.
  3. They do get fat with eggs. If there is no male she will absorb them eventually.

    What sort of filter is it? Loopy could probably help, or my son.

    filter media

    All sorts of stuff can be used but they aren't as good as the noodles. I have heard of people using plastic hair curlers and cut up straws. Bricks and terracotta are used as caves in tanks, just give them a scrub first.
  6. An English site I belong to still often mentions tanks in gallons (UK) like we (oldies) still refer often to tanks being x feet, not cm
  7. Some male gouramis can be quite territorial (especially the blue and 3 spot) depending on what other fish are in the tank and the order in which they were added.
  8. Depends on the weather. If it stays warmer longer they will keep spawning. Give it a go.

    Ask someone if you can hang your filter in their tank for a while to seed it.

    water changes.

    My tank is heavily planted, well filtered, and lightly stocked and I rarely do water changes. I don't test the water either so have no idea what the readings are.

    No, in fact plants can slow down a cycle.
  12. Is is a guideline only. Remember you need to take into account the amount of filtration and plants as well as the size of the fish in question.

    That's how I do it too wok. I always have spare filters running in my tank for this sort of thing.
  16. My BNs often fight but nothing serious, and usually over food. As said, as long as they have somewhere to get away from each other they should be fine.
  17. Perhaps they are checking the one tank goes well first and the inhabitants survive before adding more?

    So what temps do you get there Alan? We get a good layer of ice on ponds here and mine had no cover or shelter of any sort.
  19. I just realised I read the question incorrectly as I was thinking of the filters only, forgetting you can buy Jebo and Aqua One tanks as well. :roll:
  20. They had a nice marine tank at Singapore airport but nowhere near the size of those.
  21. I believe the ingredients are similar but the ratios of vitamins, fats, etc differs. Plus I doubt catfood has colour enhancers in it

    Time Zone

    Thanks for the reminder Alan. Since we were flying in a totally different time zone at the time it slipped my mind :roll:
