  1. Could an algae die off cause this? I presume that like plants algae also remove ammonia etc.
  2. Got a picture of the fin rot?
  3. Talks that have an unknown content .. I can understand using sign language. But the national anthem? Actually I'd prefer that they ditch all anthems, flags, patches and other tribal paraphernalia ...
  4. No such thing as off topic comments in the off topic fishroom.
  5. Yet there are no registration fees for bicycles ... whose riders have even worse injuries. Actually, perhaps it's because they die so that there are no injury treatment issues for ACC to worry about.
  6. In the recent past untreated human waste has been discharged into coastal Wgton waters ( Moa Point I think )
  7. Clearly no one wants a dead fish. So, unwanted refers to live fish. The story leads with a tale of a live 25 cm gold fish found in the river inlet. Here's the original article ... anyone living in the Marlborough region want to comment? http://www.marlborough.govt.nz/Your-Cou ... -Risk.aspx
  8. If there is canola oil just check to make sure that there isn't an oil film on the surface interfering with oxygen exchange. If so you might need to remove it with some tissues, or, perhaps a carbon filter.
  9. Yeast is a fungus that generally uses sugars to metabolise. So, it's just organics in your tank. Presumably it will just die off. Can't think of any special threat to your tank or fish.
  10. http://www.algaebase.org/search/species ... s_id=59094 So who knows .. perhaps it can readapt to a marine environment in its filamentous form.
  11. At a growth rate of 5 mm a year, looks like they were a huge threat to our waters.
  12. Bizarre (s)he doesn't just take the fish to the local LFS as suggested.
  13. Seems the TM seller has an appropriate name.
  14. Interesting the disparity in sentencing. Tan got 9 months imprisonment, and a $20k fine. This woman got 6 weeks community service. That clip says she emptied her tanks into broken drains which might have fed into the Avon River so they're now on the search for this algae there. Was Tan ever accused of potentially releasing live plant material into the wild?
  15. It's clearly a case of colonic eeligation gone wrong. PS: you need to pronounce this with an asian accent
  16. hmm. Sharing interesting clinical material is a long tradition in hospitals. Perhaps the administrators aren't aware of this. The person who did the sharing should have removed the patient identifying material though.
  17. Sequel ? http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/7764864 ... n-Trade-Me
  18. Experienced fish keepers can probably get away with it as they tend to observe the behavior of the fish closely ie. they apply a different test. For us others, it's chemical test kits which harm no one.
  19. Chiropractic is not evidence based treatment.
  20. Ortho = straight paedics = to do with children Orthopaedics is the medical specialty to do with realigning bones.
