Thanks Caryl ya really are a gem

It wasn't until I joined this site that we stopped cleaning the sponge filters under the hose once a week................Cripes do you think it may have played a part in the fact that my ph just wouldn't settle for long and this was over a period of near eight months!!!!!!!

Thanks for the replies funny thing with the carbon filter was no-one told me the first time I treated my fish for whitespot to remove the filter......Couldn't understand why the treatment wasn't working LOL............Sure is a learning curve isn't it.

Hey do tell how you all get those neat pictures under your usernames in the posts that you make..................Thanks in advance from computer iliterate ole me Lyn

Hi Everybodies , I was reading the posts about the large tank that had been given to someone by an old man and there were a couple of posts stating not to use carbon. Now my question is this........I have a shark filter which runs with a carbon filter................Is this not a good thing?????............Lyn (whom better get off the puter and off to work)

Wow peoples, I joined this site on Saturday and I cannot believe how much information is stored here.......It really is a Goldmine and you are all great with responding to queries ect. Sure will be able to provide my fishies with Top Notch accomadation with all I will learn from being a part of this group!!!!!!!.

Well sadly the eggs are now all gone .................Maybe next time!!!!

Thanks wish I could seperate them but don't have a second tank. I could kick myself as we had a little 40 litre tank all set up with goldfish and minnows in it. Kev bought me the new tank and I went and sold the other lock stock and barrel for 30 dollars. Cripes I have an feeling this hobby is going to grow in size LOL

Oh they have gone and done it again, about two weeks ago they layed a fair few eggs on our shark filter....................Woke up the next morning to find them all gone Today they are at it again, once again on the filter. Oh everybody keep ya fins crossed that we get some bubby fish this time. I have absolutely no idea of what to do, understand that Angels can get to be good parents, so hope they watch the eggs a little more closely this time or may they have eaten them? Hmmmmmmmmmm Any hints tips ect would be great as I am not experienced at what I should feed them even.

Well looks like Alan wins the chocolate fish......haha.........Tis a long finned Rosy Barb. Shaped very much like the blackmoore Goldfish.......there was only one, I would love a few of them in the tank though

Catbrat was very close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Pegasus..........Hi I rung the supplier I bought this fish from as was annoying me......................Should I tell or is it going to be the next guess the fish game LOL

Hi Suemack thanks for the welcome, it was soooooooooo cool to find this site, I LOVE my fish and often just sit and watch them Hubby and Son think I am nuts as I even talk to them LOL :roll:

Ohhhhhh Polgara Hi I wasn't aware of a club...........do tell more!!!!!!!

No this is not it, I am shocking when it comes to remembering the names of fish........It is a lovely coppery/bronze colour and about the shape of the Fantail goldfish, has a black spot at the begining of his tail area, most people who spot him ask me why I have a goldfish in with tropicals LOL..........Next time I go into the fishshop I will ask for the name of it again, My son Lucas loves it as we started out with Golfish and he misses his black fantails

Another question :-? how do you guys get stars under your name?????

Hi Alan, went to chat but @x is the only logged in member and they are not chatting LOL!!!!!. Catbrat I have Angels, Neons, Mollys, Guppies, A catfish of some description (funny how as a nurse I have no trouble remebering generic names of drugs but give me some of the fish names and I am lost!!!!!!) Ahhhhh I also have two peculiar fish that look like kissing guoamies (spelling) but are very stumpy in the body, and a shark!!!!!!. Always thought that Guppies would be the easiest fish in the world to keep but I keep getting runs of white spot and fin rot with them......From reading the posts it sounds as though I am not doing the treatments for long enough. Only carriying them out for four days using the Malkon...........Oh yeah nearly forgot I also have a very unusual fish that looks soooooooo like a goldfish but is tropical sorry I have no idea what it is called. Thanks for the welcome

Hi Everyone It is great to have found a NZ fish keeping group!!!!!. I have a 140ltr tank and it has been running for about nine months now. I really have had my share of ups and downs with it, PH has been a big one and I am so looking forward to being an active member of this group and learning to provide my fish with top notch accomadations LOL
