It is merely related to the number of posts made. PS. If you want to email me a pic of you in the shower madcookie I would be happy to grade you accordingly

Children, children stop this useless bickering at once!! :evil: Just to add my 2 cents worth, I have never lost a daphnia culture for inexplicable reasons and have had them continually for about 15 years now. I can get free brine shrimps and eggs 'cos I live near Lake Grassmere! Baby axolotls will not care about the nutritional value of their food so give them plenty and give them variety. No problem!

I do not breed goldfish but I understand they lay their eggs to stick to plants like the undersides of lily leaves. The male comes along behind and fertilises the eggs as they are laid. Eggs and fry will be eaten if kept in the same aquarium. They can interbreed as they are all just variants of the same type of fish.

Some plants don't like to be moved and to help them cope they will drop a lot of leaves to concentrate on a few. They should take off again. By the way I posted some rotala to you today

I too am a fan of ugf's but not on big tanks. I don't think it will be enough. A canister can be added later of course

Give it a good sniff caper. If you can't smell bleach then it should be OK.

Better to ask, what kind of fish do you like? The possibilites are endless! Do you prefer a few large fish or would you rather have a good sized shoal of faster moving small shoaling fish? Do you want a planted tank? Do you like lots of different fishes or would you prefer a single species only tank?

My son used to have them - ugly things - axolotls that is, not my lovely son :lol: We kept 2 in a 2ft tank with an ugf and fed it garden worms. To get them to turn into salamanders requires hormone injections I understand

I would assume any shop that stocked the Jebo would also be able to get the tubes.

Welcome chicken. You will find a large tank much easier to look after than the small ones

I figured you'd find the decor similar

From the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Remade into a movie recently which has just been released. The Oompa Loompas are little orange people who work in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory

Hi zallyn and welcome to my home forum You will find it easy to use :lol:

Put a sponge on the end of the filter pipe? Not sure what the filter looks like

What a good thing he only has a few to keep track of :lol:

Hi Gareth - great name! (says she with a son called Gareth - who hates his name ) Pleased to hear you and Gus have settled in here.

Hi Damien and welcome to the fishroom.

You don't see Emperor tetras around so much but I too think they are a beautiful fish. They catch the light so nicely. I like the congos too. Good luck with breeding them.

A club merely provides a place for hobbyists to meet and talk about their hobby. Help each other and swap/sell/buy plants, fish and aquatic equipment etc. Some clubs show their fish but many members do not like to stress their fish by netting them to take to club nights. Other clubs meet in members' homes each month so get to see each member's tanks on site. To become a member you contact your local club, or the club of your choice, and make enquiries. The Canterbury Aquarium & Pnd Soc meet 3rd Wed of the month in the Sydenham Community Centre, 23 Hutcheson St. Sydenham at 7.30pm. Or you can ring their secretary, Linda, 389 3137

Discus look lovely with vallis

Hi, my name is Caryl and I am a recovered addict in full control. We used to have 18 tanks but have managed to control ourselves and are now down to a manageable 3. Oh hang on, forgot to mention the one we had to set up for the barbs. Oh and the one in the spare room as a temporary home for fish passing through the country. The second one in there is currently empty so doesn't count :lol:

What sort of stupid question is that??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Since it is a .com I would assume it is based in the USA so you couldn't buy fish or plants unless you have a quarantine facility
