ooo isnt it just exciting...??? :lol: ...well i dont have any suggestions on what to put in it...as its really up to the own...and their likes...etc...good luck with the searching sumo

ooo ouch...how did they confiscate them??? who confiscated them??? how did these people find out you had them??? sumo

wow...really??? i should write a letter to them and ask them if they could give me one...or tell me where they got theirs from sumo

will try and track down any other underwater frogs...is there any i should keep an eye open for??? ive heard african clawed forg...is that the same as african underwater frog??? sumo

o darn...bloody rules and regulations eh??? never mind sumo

is it possible to track these guys down in NZ? i see them so frequently on most fish sites i go on...and they seem so interesting...well any info on availibility would be awesome. thanks, sumo

ahhh ok...so maybe the platies were the prob...but anyway its all under control now oh...and i defo WILL keep showing of my tank...its just sooooo cool!!!! sumo

well the latest fish i added was my platies...and that was well over a week ago... could the fish get scared if people come up to the tank heaps and just look into it...??? because everyone who has come over to my house lately...has been shown my beauty...my tank...and all the cool fish... sumo

ok...heres what happened today.... i took a sample of water to get tested...the guy at the lfs tested it...he tested ammonia and nitrate...ammonia was still zero...and then he looked at the nitates...he said that they were fine...i didnt look at the readings....but he said that my water was FINE!!!! so theres the deal...and i feel very happy about it all sumo :lol:

oh thanks for that...well no more fish...that ive seen have had the whitespot...so it was just on the bn and zebra danio...both fish seem to be fine... will keep you all posted over the next few days sumo

well as some of you know from last nights chat room that 2 of my fish had ich...so just after i left the room...i went to see if i had some of that mal...(cant remember the full name of it...)...but it was that blue/greeny thing...so i added some of that stuff in...just hoping that it would help...then did the same thing when i got home from school...well luckily no more fish have had it...the spots on the pleco...have seemd to have gotten smaller...(or its just my imagination hoping they ahve ) well...news on the new baby platy...it seems to be growing...feeding it crushed flakes twice a day...when should i do a water change???? ive read every 3-6 days is fine...but i only have one baby... so do you think i'll need to a water change on the weekend??? well...i'll be going to go to the lfs on the weekend...and i'll have more info then... sumo

well...most people told me to not do a water change for about 1-2 months...as i was setting it up...so i left ir for about 1 month and a half was that too long or something???? sumo

ive got a male and female dwf gourami....and ive just done my first water change for since ive had the tank set up (mid january) and both seem fine...infact all my fish seem fine... i got my pair of dwarfs only two weeks after the tank was set up...i only had a small problem with the male...he was really vicous at first...attacking the female and zebra danios...but he calmed down a lot lately...he just swims around showing of his bright colours...he really is an amazing fish...but my female is also very pretty...silver....with irregular patterns of shiny blue scales say do you have anymore gouramis??? sumo

well...when i came home form school...it was still swimming around...so i moved the mum back into the community tank... ive put a few crushed flakes in..but it doesnt seem to notice them...the baby is onyl abuot .5 - 1cm...hard to get a good estimate sumo

when i woke up this morning i saw a little thing swimming with my panda cories...IT WAS A BABY PLATY...i moved it into the breeding tank...and the mum...although im beginning to think i shouldnt have done that im sooo excited...hopefully when i come home she should have more babies.... and i just hope that she didnt have them over night...and they got eaten sumo

lol thanks for that rob...very helpful sumo

i went through the same problem with my tank...i wasnt really that worried about it...but it did make the tank look a bit icky!!! ...anywho...had a chat with the guy at the lfs and he said its normal...and if i really want to reduce it...buy a bristlenose...so i did...he was $6...and he has done wonders for my tank...if i see algae in the morning (before i go to school)...its normally gone when i some home...or well at least some it is...and the little bn is working away eating it...now there isnt much algae...but i do put cucmber in the tank...and all the fish eat it...normally with 2-3 days!!! btw...the guy at the lfs said they my bn would need driftwood...so i got some...why do bn's need this??? sumo

cool...nice to know that other's do that too sumo

hmmm...just wondering if its normal for cardinals to have no colour in the mornings when i turn the light on??? sumo

ooohhh..thanks very much...it answered all my q's...will be able to sleep tonight..lol sumo

just wondering a few things on them...becuase im sure....in no time i'll be having some swimming around my tanks... ok.. 1. how many fry will the female have?? 2. how big will they be (the fry)??? 3. how long till i can give them to the lfs?? 4. what to feed them?? 5. how often to do water changes in an 8 gallon tank?? any answers would be appreciated...thanks sumo

must admit...ive only ever seen 2 giant gouramis...and they were huge...they sacred me... even big oscars or parrot cichlids scare me!!!! lol sumo

hey all thought i might say a few things about myself...ive got a 45 gallon tropical tank been setup for abuot 6 weeks...got 4 zebra danios, 2 dwarf gouramis, 5 cardinal tetras, 1 female betta, 1 bristlenose pleco im going to be getting 3 platys on the weekend...and getting a heater for the tank they'll be breeding in...its an 8 gal after that all ive got to get is 4 panda cories and 2 kribs...and viola!!! my tank is fully populated well thats all for now...see you round sumo
