Neither but BKs if pushed white bread or brown?

Is it near the anus? Could it be a blockage? Fish are prone to tumours, hope this isn't one

It depends on the type of goldfish. The fancy ones can't move fast enough to catch the minnows.

Petworld always seem to have plenty of plants. Java moss or water sprite would be good for fry to hide in.

broadband sugar or artificial sweetener?

1. If it breaks it will stop working. If it sticks on it will fry the fish. If the glass breaks it is possible for the fishkeeper to be electrocuted. Water and electricity do not mix. 2. It is always safer to turn the heater off when doing waterchanges. If left running and the water level gets too low the heater will get very hot and when you add the water the heater will shatter. 3. Don't know about these particular heaters so can't answer. I thought most these days were submersible. Lying heaters on the substrate isn't good for them as they like the water to circulate. Buy the suckers to attach it where you want it.

A lot depends on who has just had a new shipment in. If you want carnivorous plants, visit Organism!

Hi and welcome.

Hi Wilson. Lots from ChCh in here - particularly recently for some reason. Welcome to the fishroom

Here are 138 pics from the hunt... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v144/ ... nt%202007/

Sorry for the late welcome but I just returned from the molly hunt. Welcome to The Fishroom.

Sorry about the delay but I also have to do the Minutes (last minute job as acting secretary), write up the article for the AW then get them printed and out before we go away. Am resizing all the pics now and hope to have the link to them in my Photobucket by tonight (or tomorrow). Great to meet everyone (except gatito - we had to leave before she made it). We had 30 people, 20 of them from the forum here. L - R with Dave sitting in the front. wok, Kevin, evilkneival69, Jane, Jim R, Chris, Sarah, billaney, me, purplecatfish, FishTV (2 of them), Luke, HandS (Shane and Helen), Somethin Fishy, antwan Poor pic of male and female molly but hard to photograph them in small round Pyrex container Anyone under 18 years of age please shut your eyes! The rest of you make sure you have shades on or the glare will blind you :lol: This wasn't as bad as the member who ducked behind his car to get changed, checked nobody was about, then proceeded to strip. Unfortunately, he didn't notice Kevin's wife Tracey, and daughter Aimee, sitting in the car behind. They have never laughed so hard in their lives but didn't have a camera so were unable to record the view. Next time I am sure billaney will look more closely

Possibly both. What size tank? What is in it? What are the test readings for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate?

You are cooking breakfast Wok :lol:

My males quite often fight but never do any damage to each other.

Welcome brishe. We are here to help. I love bristlenoses too

Blackadder can you give some to penguinleo since you live in the same city? I will take the other on the molly hunt. It is a bit heavy to post

Done We might have to bring a bigger car at the rate we are going. I am bringing all sorts of things for different people! :lol:

Just found some. How about a piece 152g, 60cm long and 4.5cm wide? I do have a number of shorter bits if you prefer.

I think I have a pile of it somewhere

If any of you get good pics of your flowersing aquatic plants, please send a copy to Cees, along with the name of the plant, then he can keep updating the plant survey.

If this is a behaviour they have started recently, I would be looking at water quality. If your nitrites are slightly up, what are the nitrates?

Good to hear John

Postpone the wedding until the fish are better. Bet that would go down well :lol:

Are you sure they are gouramis? What gourami has stripes? Do you have a pic? Gouramis do not sit on the bottom. What size is the tank and how long has it been set up?
