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.

A blue/black one actually! :lol:

I work for my doctor so he is used to some odd requests. When I wanted a couple of Erythromycin pills he didn't have any so asked one of the hospital doctors for them. That doctor asked "One of the dogs sick?" to which my doctor replied "No, my receptionist has algae!"

Hi Bob good to see you here too. At least I will get to see some of you now despite not being able to get into the CT AGAIN!! :evil: Would one of you from CT please tell bowhunter I have sent a PM to him on this site re his camera problem as I can't get into the CT to reply there? Thanks. Hey Goldie, only in America do the stalkers have stalkers! :lol: At least these ones seem to be harmless

And Pegasus says I'm a little devil? :lol:

So many fishy forums - so little time! You are right about the big ones being too hard to keep up with though. I like the friendly atmosphere here and in the CT. I followed your advice Bill and put this forum's url in my signature when I sign up to other boards. Great idea!

Welcome Danny! Hey Luv did you know someone is following you? :lol:

You have been a busy boy. I will be interested to see how your plan works out. Pics would be good!

Good point Bill but I am sure Ira could never forget us! :lol: There are quite a few crossovers between our forum and theirs now. I always visit here first, then CT (USA based), then The Tropical Tank (UK based) and occasionally Tom's Place (USA based). I also pop into the Victorian Cichlid Socs. board sometimes but it is mainly cichlids and I don't have any. I was able to get into the CT last night and again this morning so hopefully the problem has been sorted. Fingers crossed.

I never have to log in my password as it is automatically remembered. The site actually worked tonight. It took me 2 and a half hours to catch up on the posts! I tried all the addresses given but still no luck until tonight. Fingers crossed it is still accessible tomorrow!

I haven't been able to get into CT for a week now. It was ok when they first changed servers but now I just get the "Page Not Found" error. The last 2 days I have had the same trying to get into Tom's Place too. I thought it was just me but Goldie couldn't access CT the other day when she tried. Don't know if she can now though.

I wish you would take that bag off your head cram. We promise not to laugh
