Insectile

Would definitely be a fish I would like to try and keep in future

There was some on TM recently, that was the first time I had seen in NZ.

welcome and good luck

Nah its atleast an hours drive away. Also you'd be better off trying to collect your own spider-type wood as I haven't seen any for sale in Nelson.

What about something like flourite? I am pretty sure it does not cloud the water at all?

Any hints on what species David? :spop: :cofn:

Really feeling The Chainsmokers at the moment, this is on of my favourites Bastille - Flaws (The Chainsmokers Remix)

That is an insanely nice tank! :nfs: :cophot:

What's with the dorsal fin? all the ghost-knives I have seen haven't had one

Sweet thanks P44, have already started removing melted leaves and stems etc, did a small waterchange too.

They look like they could be pea mussels, Sphaeriidae. They live in soft substrates and get about 1cm max.

I am well aware that crypts are very touchy, its not the first melt I have had. I am pretty gutted as they were really starting to get going. Is there anything I can do to stop the melt further? Would a waterchange with tap water rather than softened water help?

Do crypts melt through having tannins in the water or even soft water in general? Last week I added some blackwater from my driftwood soaking tank into my main tank after adding some ember tetras and this morning I noticed that half of my crypts have started melting. I did add the water in cold but thats what I always do and the crypts have been fine, the only difference being the water had tannins in it. So I was just wondering if there was any association between tannins and crypt melt?

Petmart Richmond, weren't royals as we have one of those too, looked nothing alike. The twigs were a lot flatter and had the nose extension and the set back dorsal fin

We just had two at work a week or so ago, i think they were acus

Foxes - Holding onto Heaven

Oh no way! that sucks dude!

Good stuff man, i'm happy to lend a hand at some stage if you need some extra hands :thup:

Think they are Robber Flies, could be wrong though.

Lookin' mint bro! What fish have you got in there now? I think I can see an otto, aswell as the lemons?

Peking Duck - High

Yeah id imagine we are gonna get pretty hard sales wise tbh, dont think they really realise that yet though sorry for all the :smot:

might go in for a mosy tomorrow then. Good range of fish in there?

Was that the Nelson animates dude? didn't think they were open yet?
