Hi karma and welcome. Fish should be quiet, no mess and no smell but accidents do happen! :lol: Specific marine questions need to be posted in the marine section as most of those guys don't read the rest of the forums

Sorry to hear that Tsarina. Sometimes this happens no matter what you do. In fish, it is often too late if you can already see the signs of secondary infection (like the fluff). Sometimes they come right and sometimes they don't.

I wonder how good they would be in the long run though if they only last 1 hour. I have always used hot water in a fizz bottle wrapped in newspaper or towel. Works well and keeps the heat for many hours. I have had fish shipped up from Invercargill with a hot bottle in it as described and the container got held up (in snow I think). Fish delivered alive and well 3 days later. They had also been well bagged.

Yes Raul, they were inanga. That is what we get here, not the kokopu.

Ours look different - different whitebait in different areas - bit still pretty. Ours are pale cream and bluey/green and catch the light beautifully. We had 8 of them - all called called Patty. :lol:

My understanding is it is contagious, but not very and usually only if you are overstocked. I had one fish with dropsy. Never saw it in others and never had another one with it since.

Rather than go up north you would be better to head to ChCh. Although, if it is Africans, they seem to have more of a selection in the North Is.

email them to me if you want Craig and I will post them for you.

Quite possible, or will know someone travelling down I need plants for my ponds but need to wait until spring stock comes in.

If a fish is bloated the side scales do stick out a bit as the belly swells. If it is dropsy, the scales stick out all over. Look down on it from above and see if it looks like a pinecone - that's dropsy. Here is a fish with dropsy

Also, what size is the tank and how long has it been set up?

Welcome Mincie. Sounds like it is time for the Levin Aquarium Club to come out of recess!

Think of all the good exercise you will be getting climbing up and down Jude

Lots of plants, low stocking levels and rigorous weekly water changes and you do not need a pump or filter.

You're welcome. Daughter in law Dena was able to get it small enough. I could only get it down to 10.3kb and not the required 8kb or less.

I have LOTS of electric yellow fry if you want some More is better with the Malawis as it does cut down serious fights
