    beaf heart

    Anywhere that sells meat
  2. I have run ugf's for years and never had a problem. I only ever used them on tanks around 2ft or smaller though.
  3. Here is pic of a young lad's tank taken in Dunedin 2003 at the tank parade. I can't remember his first name but his surname was Payne (trying to give credit where credit is due)
  4. He won't eat while he is guarding the eggs anyway.
  5. What sort of fish (or coral) likes maple syrup?

    wormy things

    a) no b) cut back how much you feed rather than stop c) get back into regular maintenance d) no need, but why not? You can always do with more fish e) you could if you want. Once you stop negleting the tank the worms will disappear
  7. I have seen a number of tanks in old TVs and they look good. Just make sure it is well braced. A glazier will make whatever sized tank you need to fit the space. Don't forget you have to be able to access the tank.
  8. Welcome Richelle. (She will need another tank as those discus grow Jude :lol: )
  9. They aren't in shops very often. Better to contact Alan or caserole in here and join the killifish club

    *sigh*

    mum needs the chastity belt. Dad needs a vasectomy :lol:
  11. I think it is the husband who needs to be replaced
  12. That doesn't look like damage from something sharp. I have no idea what it is. Carp pox lumps are smaller, more rounded and white.
  13. Once the nutrients start building up you shuold find the plants send out new growth again.
  14. 5 or 6 is not old for a goldfish. They can live 30+ years
  15. They shuold be fine with what you are giving them

    Floppy Fish

    Absolutely no idea Melanie but it doesn't sound good. Here's hoping it isn't catching!
  17. They will also lose colour against light substrates or backgrounds as they try to blend in with their surroundings. That is why I rcommend dark gravel as the fish are more colourful.

    hornwort

    I think hornwort is a Class B noxious weed.
  19. Intakes are usually as close to the bottom as possible to get better water circulation. Too close though and they tend to suck up crud.
  20. In that case, you obviously have enough gravel 8)
  21. I too find the neons of today not as hardy as many other fish.
  22. No idea if it was finrot or not from the pics. Fin rot usually looks like the ends of the fins are going see through and raggedy then blood streaks form down the rays. Might as well do another water change, it won't hurt.
  23. If the plants look good, are growing well, and you are happy with how the gravel looks, then leave it.
