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)

Goldfish are tolerant of a very wide range of pH. Where is the pond (full sun, full shade, a bit of each)? How deep is it? How much sun does it get? How much plant cover does it have? I think 5 large comets are too many for only 300L and a sudden warm day plus too much algae meant a lack of oxygen. She should fix the cause of the algae rather than toss chemicals into the water.

Great pics there and very healthy plant growth. I liked the red badis and blue ram.
-
synodontis or bristlenoses

Have you set up your albums to be viewed? They are set to private unless you change it.

Not fast enough eh Shilo? 8)
-
Zebra danios are shoaling fish and need to be in a group of 6 or more so they will leave other fish alone. Do you have room in the tank to add more?
-
You mean electric yellow Malawi cichlids? Mine just got spirulina flakes like the adults. I would expect micro worms to be too small and my cichlids didn't like brine shrimps.
