OK, don't add any more fish. You have too many all ready. Remember how big goldfish get and yes, they can outgrow a tank.
-
You can fit a galleon in it? Must be huge :lol: What are the measurements in cms? Are we talking long or tall litres? It makes a difference as stocking levels are based on surface area. I hope you keep an eye on them all at feeding time and make sure all get a share of the food as the comet will beat the rest to it easily and take more than its fair share.

Hey! That looks like what they call porridge over here :lol:

March Meeting of Christchurch Totally Tanked
Caryl replied to Loopy's topic in FNZAS & Afflilated Clubs
Supermarkets, malls, vets, libraries, schools, anywhere you can find a community noticeboard. -
All the lfs have gravel in varying colours. I like the dark brown one myself and it is cheaper to buy in bulk but I would have thought a place like Bunnings would be way cheaper. Your BN should be developing bristles at about that size and if it doesn't - congratulations, it's a girl!

March Meeting of Christchurch Totally Tanked

Generally speaking I have found shops not so keen to put up club posters. They are aware many clubs breed, sell and swap fish and plants among themselves so doing the shops out of businaess. The chain stores all have policies like Animates. There are exceptions of course You only found 10 lfs in ChCh? There used to be at least 15. -
Yes we need tank measurements please. Also, what sort of goldfish?
-
A lot of people got to farm stock supply places and get the stuff they use in farm dams.
-
Phalloceros caudomaculatus. They are a great fish. Their spawnings are not as frequent or large as guppies so you don't get overrun with them. You don't see them in pet shops very often. I guess most people like to go for more highly coloured fish but they are one of my favourites.

Here are the photos I took of wok's fish when we had dinner at his plave last weekend... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v144/ ... 0Feb%2007/

2nd spawning? Your fish obviously have nothing better to do :lol:

Ain't the web wonderful?

Perhaps now is not the time to tell Ruthie we were known as "The Guppy Killes" as we couldn't keep them alive when we first started keeping fish :roll: That was over 25 years ago though and we know what we were doing wrong now - everything! Got it sussed now
-
Yeah Ruthie, contact me when I get home (March 14th). I live in Faulkland Drive, Blenheim and am president of the local aquarium club. Happy to help you. By the wonders of modern technology I am typing this from Brunei Welcome to The Fishroom by the way :lol:

Looking good. PLeased you all enjoyed yourselves.

I have a well planted tank but don't use fertilisers or CO2
-
I was unaware they offer FNZAS discount. If I get official notification of this they will be added to the retailers' list in the magazine.

The cardinals will probably hang out with the neons.
-
Places that sell farm troughs and stuff also have clear plastic pipes of various sizes.

As one who only does water changes once every 3 or 4 months I would say they should be fine :lol: Do a water change 2 days before, so you have time to spot trouble. If the tank is mature, understocked and well planted it will be fine. If you usually do a water change once every 7 days then strectching it to 9 isn't a big difference. Make sure the filter is going well at full output.
-
I am wondering if something died somewhere or there is a pocket of uneaten food stuck. Have you checked under rocks, in ornaments etc? It should have come right by now. Otherwise, I would do as Mystic suggests and strip the tank.
-
FRY (stop stirring :lol: ) summer or winter?
-
The majority, if not all, will be eaten by the adults

Younger than 7 months
