Really impressive to see how far it's come in such a short time.

It's a really beautiful fish , bit sad his fins are all torn to hell from his issues with bad flatmates in his previous home.
I'll do what I can to bring him back to health and look at setting up a happy home for him.
Great link - lots of reading to do - Thanks !
It's a Electric jack Dempsey, congrats it's a pricey fish aprox $60-80 retail price tag! :nilly:I love these guy, abit hard to look after if water condition is not mint!! As for normal Jack Dempsey they are real hardy!! Not suited for small neon or fighter fish, great save Dachende :thup:
I had no idea they went for that price ! :happy1:

I sold some kribs on the weekend from that tank and I don't think he'd go so well in my community tank with tetras, harlequins and the like heh - I guess it's the lesser of two evils.
So he's king of his own little castle in for the time being til I can setup a new tank for him
From what I saw when I was there, it was another fish the same as this but ever so slightly bigger that was doing all the bullying.
Think I'll get away with him in a planted tank for the next few days til I can get a tank sorted ?

Hi all ,
Rescued a fish from a friends house today where it was being picked on quite badly by all his other cichlids.
He didn't know what type of fish this is, but he doesn't know what many of them are.
Any help would be appreciated !

It's clearly a case of colonic eeligation gone wrong.
PS: you need to pronounce this with an asian accent
Love it !

I think it's pretty clear cut why the eel was there and how it got there.
The way it has been reported in the media here kind of points towards one situation in particular.
I would have thought if someone else had placed it there while he was an unwilling participant, it would be reported in the media a whole lot differently.
E.g : "Teens charged over sexual attack on friend involving eel."
But you're right, I am assuming.
An eel emoticon/smilie would go down a treat about now.....
-
I would not charge him, but I would definitely publicly humiliate him and publish the x-ray along with his name and photograph.

This is "fatty boy" or "ratbag" , depending on his mood.
We acquired him when we moved into our house in Takanini.
He was the only one out of 4 stray kittens that survived neighbourhood dogs getting onto our property at night . The dogs ended up being put down as the owners were already in jail and had left them to roam - BAD PARENTING !!!!
^^
He used to go for the camera cord everytime I tried to get a decent photo of him.
And one of my favourite photos - Fatty boy and my partner.
Unfortunately Fatty boy was hit by a car last week, and had to be put down which was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
He was a truly affectionate and playful cat - definitely one of the family !
Rest in peace little buddy &c:ry

The judge imposed a sentence of 250 hours of community work to reflect the seriousness of the offences, and said she hoped Community Probation could find an agency placement for her.
Yep. That'll stop future bio security breaches in their tracks !
What a joke.

jesus christ man what prices are you paying for your plants ?
With $1000.00 of plants you could lightly plant lake taupo !

:facepalm: The cichlid part had me confused for a while but cichlid = child
Good on you for doing the right thing - it's a shame her son blasted her - I'm sure that's exactly what she needed after being lost at night.

Hmm I've had no issues keeping females together - but they were all introduced at the same time and have grown up together. perhaps I'm one of those random exceptions and have just been very lucky lol .
-
I think there's a few questions mixed up in there
You can keep females together no problem. As soon as you introduce a male to the mix, you'll likely have aggression problems.
Min tank space for each male betta is quite small, as you can probably see by how a lot of people keep them in half cut - coke bottles and jars or the way they're kept in animates before being sold. . Don't do this, it's not nice
.I've found all my bettas to be a lot happier when they have at least 20l each. By happier, I mean it shows in their behaviour. They are a lot more active and "inquisitive".
No need for a bubbler =)

Not so obvious given the frequency of people selling Stream Guppies that they caught from a local stream...
I think everyone here realised the OP meant backyard moss, not backyard guppies.

Captain obvious is obvious.

Dennis answered you a while ago.
If you read back, you'll see I have thanked those who contributed already .
I was asking if there are any more.
-
Chances of getting anymore relevant answers to the original question ?

it's definitely t5ho because I've bought the bulbs myself from HFF. I must have confused 39 and 36.

Thanks all for your help . I will definitely look into Iron this afternoon and see what success I have there.
:thup:
-
You know that's something I haven't actually considered, but will definitely look into.
I don't have yellowing of the other plants in there which is a sign of low iron , but it could be just affecting the wallichii as it has slightly higher demands.

What super highway ?
We sure as hell aint got one in Auckland.
Plus, I'm pretty sure Aucklanders along with non Aucklanders pay the same amount of tax on petrol , which in turn is used to fix roads not just in Auckland but nationwide.
Auckland has more roads than anywhere else because Auckland has 1/4 of the population.
If Invercargill had 1/4 of the population I'm sure they'd get the biggest chunk out of funding.
