I think some have forgotten what it is like to be an enthusiastic 13 year old Mickey. Don't worry about it.

Hi Brite and welcome. Whereabouts are you? Have a read through the livebearer section on problems others have been having with guppies lately and see if your trouble is the same.

I was figuring it would give him the incentive to work it out himself, rather than admit he had to ask me to do it

Or email the pics and article to me [email protected] and I will do it for you.

Looks to me like you tried to copy and paste but your finger slipped off the Ctrl key when you hit v.

Once you have an online site set up to host your pics, it is easy and no great mission at all

Those algae eaters are good at sucking the protective slime off fish

Since I assume you didn't find a suicide note I am afraid you will never know why he jumped Fill the gaps with filter wool (dacron)

Go to a glazier rather than a pet shop

Mickey another site full of great information and help is The Tropical Tank and it is UK based. www.thetropicaltank.co.uk

It is not a fast grower but can look really good when it gets to a big size and starts throwing off plantlets.

Hi and welcome Rory. Good to hear you are working on fixing the problem How much room do you have for more tanks? :lol:

Hi and welcome Antwan. I feel sorry for the spider :lol:

Just remember, patience is the key and I hope you added those fish slowly! Mickey, check the date the message was posted

All depends on what type of algae too. Fish are fussy

More colourful in fritters (a bit like Fairy Bread :lol: )

Nah, just don't eat neons or catfish :lol:

Not infertile Shae, just need hormones injected to breed. Besides, Mickey isn't in NZ

An important thing to know about clown loaches is that they also need to be in a well matured tank - one that has been set up and stable for at least 6 months. Clown loaches are also sensitive to water conditions and get white spot very easily but are sensitive to the usual medication. I would not get them yet if I were you. Also, did you know they lose that bright black and orange colouring as they grow? Only the young fish are that bright.

LFS - local fish shop Angels can be fine or can be the terrors of the tank. They are often fine when small but get vicious as they get older. Luck of the draw. If yours is fine you are lucky (and it is more likely to be female).

He probably thought he would give you a little early Christmas excitement :lol:

At this time of year I doubt a heater will be necessary. If anything, it may be too hot in the vehicle. The internal temp when you travel in your car is usually quite warm.

Someone has just asked me to sell their hex tank (glass). No need to polish it

Fish that size I would tend to just put in a chilly bin (or poly box) each, no bag. I have transported fish that way but if only a poly box, it will tend to leak around the lid, even if it is taped down! You could also try the Plastic Box or similar for large containers with leakproof lids. 1/3 max water to 2/3 air. Don't feed the fish for a day or 2 before travel (less poo). I would also have another container of aged water so I could do partial water changes if necessary. Don't know if you are making the trip with them in 1 day or stopping overnight. I have travelled from Blenheim to Dunedin with fish bagged over 12 hours with no problems. One of our members bought a discus from Wet Pets in Palmerston North, got it to our place, stayed the night, then continued on to ChCh the next day. Fish survived with minor water change at our place just to be on the safe side.
