I actually put in carylnz and it came up with 6 sites - replies to posts in various forums plus a couple of articles. Why it picked some posts and not others I have no idea. Mind you, why it picked any posts at all is beyond me! Big brother obviously hasn't got enough to do!

That was an interesting experience Bill! I put my name in and came up with sites too :-? Don't whether this is good or not!!

I know they say you shouldn't rinse the stuff in tap water but I figure since it is the same water I put in the tank during a water change it can't do any harm. We don't have chlorine in our water.

Congratulations! I don't think you ever stop getting excited when a fish spawns. He can't register them Goldie as I don't think he is an FNZAS member
-
Possibly would make a difference. What thickness glass?
-
I rinse mine in warm tap water
-
Well Goldie I knew it was some sort of supermarket :lol: Sorry to hear it has gone out of business as I only found it last year even though they said they had been there about 8 years!

I have a Fluval 404 and it has 4 trays (if I remember correctly - I don't clean it very often). One has filter wool in it and the others have Siporax. On the rare occasions I get around to cleaning out the filter I change the filter wool and give the Siporax a quick rinse under the tap then change the order of the three Siporax trays so they get rotated. I can't see any point in changing the media except for the filter wool as it gets clogged and is hard to clean.

Thanks Richard. They are the shops we go to as well, plus the one in the Countdown(?) or Pak n Save carpark opposite Science Alive.

Pleased I'm not the only one who only sees an X where your avatar should be! A chillybin also makes a good temporary home, no need to line it either
-
Can you give me the address for that place? Perhaps we can visit there on our club trip in January.
-
Try dropping the water level Goldie. If it is fuller than usual you may have a poor seal near the top. Easier than replacing the tank in a hurry. BTW I can't see your avatar anymore. Have you removed it or done something to it? It is also possible you have a small crack in the base
-
If you are going to use any of the treatments suggested (except salt) don't forget to first remove any carbon you may have in the filters.
-
Perhaps the offer was made in within the fish's hearing and it was so upset it suicided!

Hi @ndrew welcome to the fishroom. I successfully had Java fern in my goldfish tank. It was good because the goldfish tended to leave it alone - they eat most other plants. Another which was good was water sprite. It tended to float as the fishes pulled it up but new plants grew fast enough to replce the rooted ones which died as the goldfish nibbled away at the base of the stems.

Dennis, the Wgtn shop is called Fins'n' Fangs.

Hi Macka, I wondered where super 12 country was. Is it some sort of football team? You can tell I am totally disinterested in sports can't you? I don't think I could even name an All Black! :lol:

3 cheers for daphnia! An easy solution and good to hear it worked so well.
-
I do hope you meant to TRY a worm culture, not DRY one! :lol: Worms like it a little moist.

Hi Shilo and welcome to the fishroom. If we can get them here in NZ surely John1 can also find them in Oz?
-
Hi Clare, Iv'e been looking at setting up a fish pond for almost 25 years now. One day I will get around to it - or get around to someone doing it for me.
-
If it is a veggie then try it. Make sure they have been washed if they have been sprayed! Nothing wrong with the nutritional value of frozen foods as long as it is not kept too long - like all frozen foods. My bristlenoses love peas - cooked and with the shell removed.
-
In that case, please don't show us your worse side! :lol:
-
Sister sites. What a great idea Bob! Will you have to change your name to Bobette? :lol: Sisters are doin' it for themselves!!

Check the FAQ. You have to have your pic online, not on the hard drive. The FAQ tells you how to insert the pic in your post.
