Welcome blackadder 8)

Sincerest apologies for the delay. As some of you know we have been involved in a long running dispute involving our KYOCERA printer. Although they have finally admitted it had problems, and have sent a replacement, the duplexer won't work so the magazines can't be printed yet. We are awaiting a reply from KYOCERA (again! :roll: ) and until they actually offer some decent customer service, all my print jobs have been delayed. :evil: I would like to add if any of you are thinking of buying a new printer, I suggest you avoid KYOCERA! :evil: :evil: :evil:

What else? :lol: Love those batfish.

A proper plec needs a minimum 4ft long tank. A BN can go in much smaller tanks. A large plec can uproot your lovely plants and dislodge decor with the flick of its tail. A BN will not do this. Plecs are very large poo machines and their long trailing poos sit all over the substrate looking messy. A BN has much smaller poo.

There was a group of us in the chat room watching the bidding take off 8)

Getting the hang of the new camera too eh?

Nobody has said you are no longer welcome in this forum Henry. Your help and advice has been appreciated and we hope you continue to contribute to questions. We all do wrong sometimes, you have been caught and will be punished for it. End of story. I hope this doesn't mean you give up plants altogether.

We should've checked what sort of filter it is 8)

If you are wanting gravel to remain in the smaller tank I would just change the filter over plus the water. Top up bigger tank then, making sure temps and pH are same swap the fish over. Since it is the same filter, it will have the right number of bacteria for the fish, even if they are in a bigger tank. I would make sure the tank was settled for a week or two before adding new fish though.

don't put baby anything in with angels. Not even in a breeding trap - angels are strong suckers! :roll:

25L is also very small so when something goes wrong, it does so quickly and easily. It is way too small to put 1, let alone 3 goldfish in. Being fine for 3 weeks makes me think they died from ammonia poisoning etc. Waht sort of filtration does it have on it?

Hi there and welcome to The Fishroom

Welcome. Inheriting is a lot better than having to buy

If they are in a community tank the eggs will probably get eaten, or the wrigglers will at least. If you do not want fry then leave them alone.

In Invercargill I wuold stick to comets and maybe fantails. Fancy goldfish can go outside in summer temps.

I keep telling people I like the Jebo 819. It sells in some places for $150. I don't know anything about the Aqua One's, or how their price compares, but others say they like them.

Remember to make sure your hands are wet if you touch the newts.

Thank you. A cigar shark we will stick with. I thought it was some sort of shark but not which one. A member of the new Nelson club asked what it was. I don't think she has plans to eat it though Makes you wonder who found out it causes nausea :lol:

It's times like this you wonder why you keep fish :-?

I am a fan of external canister filters myself, particularly the Jebo range 8)

What is this fish please? It is about 35cm long.

They lay their eggs on the underside of plant leaves. I was catching fry from my big pond this afternoon. Hard to catch 2cm fry in a 32ft pond :roll: Only catching them so Grant could play with the macro mode on his new camera 8) . They will be released into the small pond to grow up unmolested by the bigger fish.

The problem, as he has realised, is that it is safety glass which you can't cut. I have several odd sized sheets of it behind the house. One sheet made a great cover for a coffee table though Keep an eye out for another sheet of glass the right size, or buy another sheet. Use the remaining sheets as covers.

It has a lip at the top that hangs over the edge of the glass so the filter is on the outside of the tank and the uplift pipe is on the inside

As an aside, transporting fish would be no problem. I regularly buy fish in ChCh to transport home over 4 hrs away. Have also travelled 3 days with bagged fish 8)
