Depends on the size of the angels but they sure can suck! I wouldn't add them.

AW = The NZ Aquaruim World magazine (of which I am editor ) It is NZs only tropical fish keeping magazine and produced by the FNZAS. When I get home tonight I will try and remember to hunt out the article on how to breed rummys.

Different scenarios Zev depending on the type of quake and direction in relation to the tanks. A tall stand (2 or more tanks stacked one above the other) will just topple over. Tanks can also slide sideways or over the front. There is a lot of movement once the water starts slopping.

Tablets will keep virtually indefinitely

No idea but good thought. It probably does if it is a liquid.

Check your AW back issues Stu there is an article on breeding rummys. If I was at home I would find it but I am at work so don't have access to the info until tonight.

http://www.feamane.org/pages/fish_meds.html says 3mg/L for 3 days continuous

Found this... Quinacrine hydrochloride is also known as Atabrine, Chinacrine and Mepacrine. This is an anti-malaria drug which is also helpful treating some types of fish parasites (malaria is a type of parasite infection in humans). Quinacrine hydrochloride is now difficult to find, even at pharmacies. Direct overhead light will inactivate quinacrine hydrochloride so it must be kept off during treatment. The light can be switched on long enough for daily observation, or simply use the ambient light in the surrounding room. Doesn't give the rate but I thought the rest of it might be useful.

I have already suggested that Alan but she says she can't due to the deco walls or something.

Let the poor fishes sleep some time!

Welcome to the fishroom. Come and join us in chat some time. There is usually a few of us around 9pm most evennigs.

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.
