yes she is definitely right there - Phalloceros caudomaculatus is them. Lovely little fish. I would love some moer of them myself but they are not seen often.

If you are setting up a tank for egglayers to breed in then the only filter you will need is a sponge filter once the eggs have hatched. The parents won't be in there long. Marbles are a pain in the proverbial. Put down a grid of mesh so the eggs can fall through it out of the parents' reach or use artificial spawning grass (I have seen that advertised on Trademe). I think someone said the $2 Shop has something similar.

I have always found dwarf gouramis die quite easily and are easily stressed (but that might just be me ). Never had any luck with them myself but keep regular gouramis with no problem at all.

You shouldn't have asked her first Welcome to the NZ Fishroom.

Most likely is a rotting body stuck somewhere. Perhaps a fish died then got sucked into the filter and has slowly decomposed in there?
-
What sort of stink?
-
Carbon in the filter will help remove the tannins that are colouring the water. Some driftwood will do this for a short period and others, depending on the type of wood, will do it forever.

People usually breed the sterbai for their lovely colour patterns. What is the point of an albino? (I have a personal dislike of albino fish - can you tell? :-? )
-
I have had my book for some time (mine was ordered in an earlier lot). I find it excellent except for the page numbers which are hard to read being too small with the background behind them.

While on holiday a lot of places were selling photos printed onto canvas. They looked really good but were much more interesting pictures than the one on Trademe. Wonder how they do it? (put the pics on canvas I mean)
-
Very nice looking log too. A nice work in progress.
-
Great photos!
-
The old media will still be fine.

But you will have received a registration form quite some time ago!

A little more info would be helpful. How big is the tank? What was in it? How long had it been set up? What filter was being used? Do you have any test kits to check pH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates? These would give us a better idea of what has happened. Usually white water means an imbalance in the tank and so you get the white, temporary, algae bloom which clears itself. It is also harmless to fish.
-
Very nice. Look forward to your pics when they have bred
-
Sorry about that :oops:
-
Another day all survivors seem to be happy and swimming well with no sign of disease. Will feed them tonight. Haven't done so since the strip down.
-
He is making a nest for himself under the log. One of their favourite resting places. Young BNs will sucker themselves all over the place, sometimes out of the water but not for long. Might have been trying to reach a particularly tasty piece of algae
-
Yes, just adjust the aim of the spray bar (even towards the glass) until you have it right for discus. You can never have too much filtration.

Yuor hot water cylinder is set to 100C?
-
Very nice. I see you give them magazines to read. How do you stop the ink running? 8)

Have fun. Get the girlfriend involved!
-
I wanna go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do they do overnighters?

Sorry to hear that Frenchie. Of all the Malawis I lost, the yellows seem to have come through the best - so far and fins crossed it stays that way.
