As said, don't kill them they are harmless and good fish food. They are actually midge larvae.

How lucky to get a tank to try first! :thup: The selection of fish can be the hardest part but adds to the fun.

Depends on the type of goldfish. Many would find them delicious

In my experience, heaters stick on more than off so running 2 would not necessarily help.

Are you feeding them anything but blood worms? Those worms should be a treat, not an every day feed.

Fish gotta sleep too!

From experience I would say 3cm+

Then ask the NZKA secretary where they are.

Hmmm, I would have said both are female :dunno: Can be hard to tell, depending on the pic.

I sat in the sun outside for lunch today and it was very pleasant. It is now hailing! Guess the cold front they promised has reached us :tears:

Mine prefer cucumber and won't even look at zuchinni. I cut the cucumber into 3cm wide rings and thread about 8 rings onto a plastic knitting needle that has a small fishing sinker tied in the middle of it. That spreads it all out along the needle and all get to dig in at once.

Welcome. I have heard many say Bettas don't like Fluval Edge tanks anyway

This is Jaxxnz remember? He does this to create just the reactions he has got! I believe the advice in this situation is "Don't feed the troll" :roll:

The tank itself looked great but when I saw the overall pic of it in the room I realised it was only half the size it should have been Bigger is better! :slfg:

I thought it was Rusty's nest! :slfg:

I would suggest to them that the person they were paying was obviously not doing a very good job of it and offer to take over for a while to show them what it could look like if done properly.

Another one hit! :happy2:

I have just had a phone call to say I have won a $500 travel voucher from a Show I attended last week :happy1: It might go well with the Tomtom GPS I won as well

You must specify it in the policy for many. We thought we were covered but were only covered for the tank itself, not the damage caused when it cracked. We changed to a "Premium" policy which would cover the damage as well. Most insurance companies only pay out on damage done by water from a "normal" water source, not an aquarium ie a burst pipe or broken tap.

1. Gourami's do not fare well if overfed. Keep intake minimal. Not heard that one before. They are omnivores so will eat anything. They like to graze on algae and benefit from live foods along with the dried and frozen. 2. Gourami's may develop ulcers on their torso if not kept well fed. Feed several times per day Not heard this one either. 3. Gourami's are not bothered if planted or not A gourami's natural habitat is heavily planted. 4. Gourami's require heavy planting, or will become agressive This can be true and will vary depending on tank size. 5. Gourami's need females in groups (battle finding female dwarfs) No they don't. 6. To calm agressive male dwarfs, add more males (which I did and it seems to have helped) If they are too aggressive it is possible their tank is too small or there is not enough plant cover for them to create small territories.

Your age is showing Mark :slfg:

I would guess the gobies and/or eel. Is it both sexes missing forks or just males or just females? Males can get aggressive when spawning.

I am sure if anyone in your area is interested they will contact you.

Then you count 30 days from the time the 10th one popped up.
