Ahem - You're just as geeky....
(PS - I have ultimate tomorrow so can't make it to the meeting.
Next time though??)That one was the prettiest! Try take a photo. It's one of the coolest fighters i've seen and you know i'm not that fond of them. By the way, boyfriend got his first tank, signed up here and he's looking at rams. Your tanks may have inspired.:roll:

Yeah looks like a common Drone fly (Eristalis tenax). If you saw it flying it usually "hovers" among flowers, etc.
-
I basically had the same thing - but as BikBok said - it disappeared after a few weeks.
I would remove it manually if I saw it starting, and it eventually never came back again.
HTH.

What actually is the point of it? :-? Or am I missing something?

Norton is more trouble than it's worth!!!! :evil:

Interesting - so getting a female any time soon will be slim....
Cheers for the info guys.

I've had two male Neon Royal Red Gourami's in my 250L community tank for about a month now and one of them has been constantly building a bubble nest - full of pieces of half my plants!!! It's constantly ripping my plants apart and has started to become a aggressive towards anything that comes nearly the back corner where the nest is.
Bubble nest from the top:
Bubble nest from the side:
Sorry for bad quality photos - they are from my mobile.
Question is - i've never had any experience with gourami's breeding and wonder will they breed easily in a community tank? And are there any females around?
Any advice would be appreciated. -
HFF has a fairly good selection of coldwater fish that malevolentsparkle has suggested - minnows, danios, golden barbs, etc...
But a good filter where goldfish are concerned is a must.
-
Sorry for you loss. It's even worse when it includes your favourites.
Although, I often go to botany, because HFF is a bit out of my way, and have never had any problems with their fish dying.

Oooo, I also bought some RN tetras from animates on that weekend. Looking really good at the moment, their noses are very bright red! I hope they don't suffer the same fate....
Sorry to hear about the losses though.

Welcome!

That was awesome!!
I want one too. -
I also was curious and brought a KH test, since they were cheaper during the aqua fun day, and had the same results. Water turned yellow straight away on the first drop, which at first was a little confusing after reading the instructions.
But I assume the KH is either zero or less than 1...

methylene blue in the water?
-
As for feeding all plecos the same food - bear in mind that the family Loricariidae may refer to hundreds and thousands of different fish and all their diets vary so we may need to know what the pleco is to answer that question Skip.
Just a common red spot pleco I believe.
-
not a fan of brussel sprouts gaga?
-
Good question - I was wondering the same thing for my GBA and pleco.
Was the pumpkin cooked or raw?

Yus! come to the good side!! I do biology (mainly ecology) and environmental science (which is basically geography). :bounce:

What are you going to study at UoA?

Wow it's awesome putting nicknames to faces. None of you look like your nicknames. :lol: :lol: :lol:

the pub where-ever it was?,that was selling drinks with a live goldfish that was swallowed along with the drink.
What...the....?

They get fat and square off around the front of their stomach..
+1
Mine always become almost square in shape, especially near its back end, and for some reason mine usually give birth late morning in a quiet spot usually near the surface (where the plants have reached the surface).

Tasman's fish display had 12 tanks and equipment running off 1 double outlet. It was checked by an electrician to make sure it did not exceed the maximum load allowed on a single circuit.
That's actually put my mind at ease... :bounce: *wipes brow*

It didn't take you long to convince him to get a tank Steph
You have the knack for convincing people I believe.
