You are in ChCh so as far as I know you do not need water conditioner as your water supply is not chlorinated. Wait for another ChCh person to confirm this though. Cycle is not needed either. You don't need to leave the water overnight, out of the tap will be a fine with a little hot water added to take the chill off it. What size is your tank? Comets are better in a pond.
-
Yeah, PM Tank Man he will be able to advise you.

I have barbs :lol: (not torpedos yet) The rosy barbs rip into it.
-
Torpedo barbs - my favourite fish at the moment. I also love star grass but can't have it in my tank as the fish strip it bare within 24 hours Looking good!
-
Sorry to hear that. Some times we just don't think
-
welcome bdspider. I hope you realise some of the fish on your wish list are not suitable for your small tank!
-
and you're getting some use out of that new camera Hope they all hatch and survive.

I am ignoring this entire thread! :evil: :lol:

To me it looks like blood under the skin (scales, whatever) indicating internal bleeding. Possible parasites? 10 years is young for a pond goldfish and that is very small for a 10 year old fish. They can live over 35 years.

Newbie question about Glowlight tetras and breeding
Caryl replied to 1familiarfish's topic in Freshwater
As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder, so yes, separate the boys from the girls. It may not make them fonder but they sure will be keen! :lol: -
I too have seen similar tanks here but not that brand particularly. Have a look around or Google NZ

Green water is exactly that. Put a container outside, fill with water and keep in the sun and it will go green. The green is microscopic greeblies fry will freed on. -
Don't use the stuff. It is only temporary depending on the buffering in the tank and will more likely result in huge pH swings. Why do you want to alter the pH? What is it, and what do you want it to be? There are more natural and longer lasting ways than those products. Besides, read the label. I think pH Up is just an expensive way of buying baking soda

We are South Island and going Jared. Whether we can keep some alive long enough to get them to you I don't know but can try. We will be in ChCh mid March to pick up our new 4WD. In between we will be overseas so someone else will be living in the house and feeding the fish.

Zev you just described the average cat :lol:
-
I assure you, he won't be the only wet and muddy one there! Maybe the smallest though That's what changes of clothing are for.
-
Of course you are farmchick. The more the merrier! 8)
-
Yeah I have never come across an unfriendly one either :-? Great pics.
-
I don't want any either Shiuh. I am going for the fun of it (and it was an excuse to justify the expense of attending an exec meeting, which I don't usually manage to do). Will be taking heaps of pics I assure you! The February Aquarium World is also on hold so I can add a report on the Molly Hunt (and the exec meeting if there's room) before it goes to print
-
The fluffy bits would tickle the fish or coral's fancy I reckon I would ask at a vet's.
-
We will be able to bring fish back through Wgtn too (assuming someone catches any). Shelzie bring your son with you. We will take turns fishing him out whenever he falls in RULE 1: No shoving anyone in until after the fish have been caught! We don't want them scared off and the water any murkier than it already is.
-
Can you hitch a ride with someone and come too?
-
Did we get our fish from you? It is me by the way (MX5er).
-
No. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Going to be hard to push me in if you can't find me :lol:
-
Me 'N' Grant will be there as we have the exec meeting first.
