We’ve recently updated Aquarium World! We’re working through a few bugs, with exciting new features on the way. Thanks for your patience while we fine-tune the site.

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

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

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 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

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
-
I still say it is a badly designed house though. Too few walls and too many windows make it harder to fit more tanks!
-
-
All carbon should be removed from a filter before any medication or treatment!
-
Obviously there are too many :lol: I know of 2 others in here who work for the IRD. We won't hold it against you
-
Not sure when they start but boys are slimmer and more streamlined, girls are rounded.
-
Another IRD worker?? 8)

This site is run by the FNZAS (Federation of NZ Aquatic Societies) which is made up of clubs nationwide. I know of only 2 clubs who do not belong. This is why we always suggest joining a club :lol: We have a chat room here too and you can usually find someone to talk to around 8.30 - 9pm onwards for an hour or 2. Sometimes we even talk about fish! :lol:

Hi Juse and welcome. Don't forget everyone has differing opinions so what you read is not always necessarily 'correct' and some 'know' more than others :lol: . This site is for hobbyists to share experiences and information. Thought of joining a fish club? Kapi-Mana are very popular at the moment

Perhaps it's a born again virgin :lol: Sorry, couldn't resist :oops:

Have a sex ratio of one male to 3 or more females so the girls get a rest occasionally
