They will be fine if they can't move and fall over.

Not sure whether it matters as a fish food but... beef heart; Calories 32 Fat 1.12g Carbs 0.04g Protein 5.02g pig heart; Calories 33 Fat 1.24g Carbs 0.38g Protein 4.9g

Just flakes is fine too.

A lot is these days as few can afford to travel.

Best way is to use a siphon. Either suck to get it started (easy) or put thumb over hose end. Submerge siphon then tip up so hose and tube fills completely with water. Tip so tube is facing down, under the water, then release thumb from end of hose. Should start siphoning. Make sure hose end is over bucket, or out window, at this time!

No FNZAS, no Fishroom Forum :dunno:

Hi and welcome. There are a few keepers of natives here.

No, he didn't break his ass, he broke his wrist.

My tap water is around the 40 - 50ppm mark all the time.

Spent 3 hours in A&E today after Grant fell down our back steps. He has 2 fractures and is now in plaster for 6 weeks. Has to see the orthopaedic surgeon before that to decide if it is healing straight, or if the plaster is tight enough (wrist is swollen at the moment). Right wrist too so not helpful as he is right handed. :roll:

and Vaseline doesn't stop babies from leaking either :roll: :gigl:

Unless you have a rubber baby, you need not worry about the effect of Vaseline on your offspring

It is said not to use Vaseline but I always have and never had a problem

I suggest you ask Greg to make you a receipt for what the tank would cost normal retail, just for your records, not what it actually cost. When our tank cracked and flooded the lounge, dining room, kitchen and had started creeping up the hall, AMI was very good to us. They would not cover the damage done, as it was not considered a "normal water supply" fault but did suggest we get the dearest quote possible to replace the tank then use the excess to help pay for lifting the carpet, drying it out, and re-laying. We have since changed our contents policy to make sure it includes aquarium breakage and damage caused by same.

It could be bloat but not usually something a neon has problems with. It could be egg bound - possible if female. If this, wait and see what happens. It could be dropsy - the scales will be sticking out all over the body, not just the belly, like a pinecone. If this, destroy the fish Here is a danio with dropsy

That fish is a man-a-tee

Appreciate you posting it here too David. Looking good and can't wait to see it finished and filled. :thup:

and thermal backed! Got a dental appointment today :tears: &c:ry Open wide! :yawnn:

Hi and welcome. What areas do you travel to?

The test to see if rocks were "safe" was in regard to whether they were inert or if they would raise the pH. All you do is pour a little vinegar on the rock. If it fizzed it would likely alter your pH. I used limestone in my Malawi tank and never noticed it raising the pH a major amount, although it did go up a little. My fish came from an experienced African breeder whose tap water was 7.0 so that is what he kept them in. He said he did not want to muck about with the pH and besides, his fish were captive bred and had no idea what pH they were supposed to be in.

Thank LA. He figured it out for me
