a lot of people mistake the natural white speckling in a gold's tail for a fungal thing

lotsa guppies, the frontosa will love them as tankmates

praziquantel normally sold by most pet shops as a bird wormer

nice

its not a legal issue, its the fact that the mortality rate in young Axo's is incredibly high, they tend to ship well and settle in a lot better once they get past aroun 8-10cm

wow really good build quality,

cheers

:digH:

get a pic I've only dealt with this with Geo's before, but you should be able to net it out and gently flick it out with a toothpick. im assuming you have the black silica sand put out by Aqua one???

very nice, I normally sex them by looking at the dorsal fin, male longer an more pointed (in regulars, females have more belly colour) possibly spotted one may be female hence the disturbance (better pic would help) BTW nice tank layout for what we can see, any chance of a full tank pic????

:slfg: the joy of convicts for every one else... heres the pic

just starting to get a bit of pink encrustation on a rock in my tank, what sort of lighting helps promote this????

how big are the convicts??, and how did you sex them???

what about my leopard fish, they just pop out one here and there... p.s. up to 5 now... gotta love a water change

lol, Smashed out the left brake light (got a replacement cheap from wreckers) found out that the bar that activates the lock had broken off from the mechanism, hence the person smashing lock through. found a new lock and modified it to the key. hardest part with these cars is that you have to go in about 10cm before you can go sideways to get the lock, tried for 2 days with no success (I'd suck as a car thief) all good now Ira, do you have access to that part???,(actually just the leaver and the cable) i'm really keen to put in a backup in case this happens again and hell yeah its fun to drive, imagine a go cart with a 1.5L engine... can't wait to start playing with the power output it is the way I drive it damn missus thinks its hers though

wow 60 days???, I'm not really into the competition thingy's but wouldn't sucess be in having the fry live past 1 month minimum, breeding is easy, raising is hard

gidday and welcome to the addicts circle Interesting mix of fish, don't let the purists put you off

If we are talking marine, then it is a lot easier in the long run to go custom glass, probably cheaper as you don't have to modify as much to get things added to it. plus you can do a lot to a tank after you get it as well i.e. drill holes for sump/ filter fixtures, upgrade lighting to go for more intensity or LED fittings.

p.s. love the cats though

Ghostknife to the rescue

doesn't look quite right, but maybe a fungal infection on a small wound caused by chewing on something sharp????

I wouldn;t be surprised if those were a hybrids, they have a sort of acara look to the bodies, and if they are from asia would suspect dying/tatooing going on. then again wait till you see a male jewel in breeding colours under an atman 15000K light

have used both, the all in ones are great for starting out, but the filters are kinda pathetic and the carbon pads are a money waster. got a 7 year old AR980 at work with no problems so I don't think the build quality is bad. and the modifications of the filter to a external are easy as. My main gripe with them is the lights are normally right at the front so makes planted setup a bit harder (especially when you want tall, light intensive plants as a background.) I'm quite impressed with the new Aqua one nano cubes though, the built in sump filter looks quite good, anyone had any experience with these???? personally I prefer to build myself from a bare glass tank, that way you can get the best equipment for the job, and not stuck to just one brand.

its illegal to sell a NZ native, he's just collecting them from the wild, no matter how much he claims they have bred in his tank (unless he's somehow figured out how to deal with the marine planktonic stage) plus he's charging $5-$10 for something that takes 2 seconds to net out of a creek

damnit, can;t get "the human centipede" out of my head :sick:
