AGM = All Go Missing :bggrn:

I do not have algae on my glass :ton:

The butler did it

Following that theory, surely the green ones often seen on my windows should be partially see-through and dusty looking?

What size tank is he in? What other fish are in there? How long have they been there?

We had one of those here over summer. Didn't realise it was a foreigner. Thought it was just an albino local.

and welcome. 54L is too small for goldfish so she really ought to go tropical

You'll have to join the local club now :thup:

Does he make a loud crazy clicking noise like a loach??

There are replies to this in the other thread you started in the saltwater section.

Had a lovely day. We headed to Kelly Tarlton's and got a tour of the workings behind the scene. We fed some of the fish (and got a bit wet) then headed for Mission Bay where we enjoyed fish and chips on the beach in the sun. After lunch we visited Hollywood Fish Farm, Mt Roskill and then around to Sophia's place before heading back to rest before tonight's BBQ. :dnc1: :dnc1:

Never fear Sophia - different types of drink. Tea, coffee, juice and water only

AGM went well and welcome to the new exec members. Patron; Grant Simpson V Patrons: Gael Eastwood, Jo Goodin President; Jennifer Hamlin VPs; Darren Stevens, Geoff Haglund Secretary/Treasurer; Adrienne Dodge Editor; Jennifer Hamlin Breeding co; Paul Young Exec; Mark Paterson, Alan Minnery, Cameron Scott There were also continual drinks available plus plenty of delicious food (and lots left over too!) After the AGM we visited Ron at Pupuke Aquarium then went to krazygeoff's to see his catfish collection. We are now at Adrienne's, drinking more and trying to make a dent in the food until we go out for the evening meal :thup: Good to meet new people and catch up with old. :dnc1:

Stop opening Safari

Hi and welcome. The Taieri club was a long time ago! I really like the leopardfish.

It is also possible he has swallowed a stone, causing a blockage. Have you stones as substrate, or sand?

Was he actually eating before though? Could be a case of no food - no poop. Usually peas and/or Epsom salts does the trick.

We arrived safe and sound. :happy1: Not so many cupcakes left !drool: .

Just checked our flight times haven't changed. :thup: Our chauffeur will be waiting at the airport. :thup: Packed raincoats. :thup: Got cupcakes packed and ready to go. :thup: Yep, we're ready! :dnc1: I wonder if the kids will do the washing while we're away. They are coming up for the weekend so have the use of the house. If I end up with doggie prints through the house I will be extremely annoyed! :an!gry

Not stupid at all, merely ignorant or ill informed, as many of us were when we started out in this hobby. A state you are attempting to correct as quickly as possible so all's good. Welcome to The Fishroom. Ignore Ira, he gets upset whenever some refers to their egg layer as being pregnant - a common statement :bggrn:

They would be eaten. You can separate the guppies and platies if you like but female guppies will eat their own fry as well as every body else's. If you want fry, you need a tank heavily planted with fine leaved plants (ambulia, cabomba and Java moss are great) or floating plants with bushy root systems (water wisteria, water sprite) I am assuming you do have some female guppies in there?

But don't the yellows and blues cross breed, producing ugly coloured fry?

:thup:

I have never found male bristlenoses to be murderers. They will chase other fish away from their food, and have the occasional fight with another male, but that is all.

RTS's are usually fine until they hit a certain size, or age, then they get aggressive. A few are fine but the majority are trouble. They are better the bigger the aquarium.
