I don't know that I would agree with all it claims we are ranked highly in anyway, especially the environment! Education isn't what it used to be either. We do not want any government bashers as politics is meant to be kept out of here, it only causes problems. :roll: Bring back the good old days :sage: :sml1:

Finely crushed (between thumb and finger) flake will be fine. If there are larger fish they may be eaten though.
-
I would not like to suggest anything as I have no experience of using chemicals. Perhaps someone else, who has used such products, will advise.
-
I have never used chemicals myself as I believe slow and steady the natural way is the best. It has seemed to me that such additives do not increase the set-up time by much. Once you have added the stuff, you must also add something for the bacteria to eat or they will die before you add the fish.
-
That's good but they will grow and quite quickly
-
I would not attempt to grow it in a tank. I would have it outside in a pond or large container.
-
What is the point of doing all that?
-
I wouldn't put 3 goldfish in anything smaller than 120L.
-
You only need water ager if the water is chlorinated, as far as I know.
-
Yes, our very own website (of which this forum is just a part) has the answers you need! :thup:
-
Best option for what? You just get a bit of moss and tie it to the log. Easy. I have spare moss too if you need some.
-
Yeah, that one :thup:
-
I drop them into a plastic bag then whack it on the concrete. Less mess and I can't see the poor thing :tears:
-
I do believe I said in your other post that the species you had would not go together because they needed totally different conditions. I suspect this is why the Borneo catfish died - wrong conditions &c:ry
-
Have you tested the water? It would help if we knew the ammonia and nitrites were 0 and the nitrates were low. Water quality is always the first thing to check (along with temperature). Some fish are more sensitive to water quality than others so that is why one can die while others are seemingly happy.

Saw fry in the pond for the first time this season :happy1: Hard to spot at the best of times but even harder since I tried to photograph one after I'd fed flake food!
-
Going on a picnic to Whites Bay today. Gorgeous day for it and should be sheltered from the nor' wester. :happy1:
-
Mine did :dno:
-
It isn't the size of the fish but their behaviour once they reach sexual maturity. Many fish will live happily together until, suddenly, all hell breaks loose!
-
Well you are on my mailing list for the Aquarium World therefore you must be a paid up member of the NZKA and FNZAS. :thup:
-
I suspect a lot would depend on the size of the aquarium and the age of the fishes, especially the shark.
-
Check the tap water. Ours is very high in nitrates.
-
Good luck with the new tank. I would suggest you move the shark and at least 3 bristlenoses over to it as they are too big (or too many) for the 90L. I see a base of 120cm x 45 is recommended as a minimum for the loaches too. There are a number here who like the more unusual species of fish so there should be plenty to help you with questions 8)

Where are the pics???
-
Pics here... http://www.stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/news ... bike-crash Grant says they said the man was in his 50's but the paper is saying 70's. He also said his companions were not far behind him so were there as well. He also suspects there is more to the story than police would say over the radio so we are wondering if it is a public figure, perhaps known in his own country or something. Ade, I too thought of Mike as he travels, especially in the bad weather.
