[Ich - Salt treatment not working - what now?]

im a but iffy about combining treatments myself. If you try wunder tonic make sure you remove the carbon pads in the filter.

[Thinking of setting up a 600x300x300mm rockpool]

with salt water you can either go no sand / very low amount of sand or deep sand bed. its more about aesthetics with the no sand option and it assumes you have a deacent way of removing nitrates.

The deep sand bed is my choice if you want a lower cost setup as it provides a good anaerobic area for de nitrifying. but if you have the option of a good trickle filter system then it would be an aesthetic thing.

[Did my blue ram spawn?]

was the string white??

sounds like a bad poo to me.

if white and stingy could be the first signs of something nasty

or could be nothing at all

doesn't sound like eggs to me.

[courier company to choose]

yeah 3pm is good, just to make sure its in the overnight

make certain you write 'live fish' and 'Overnight' as many times as possible and 'This way up' as much as possible as well.

better safe than sorry in my books

[courier company to choose]

just make sure its under 20kg (or is that 25kg??) normally they will charge you for overweight once it hits the depot

[12L Nano]

stunning dude, will be interesting to see when you get your new plants...

[Ich - Salt treatment not working - what now?]

I would increase the temperature to around 28-30 degrees to speed up the life cycle, at 23 - 24 degrees it can take over a month for the cycle to complete, but you'll want to remove the shrimp first as they will not handle that temp. if you can remove the fish to a quarantine tank for a few of weeks to let the protozoa die off in the main tank, try a quinine based medication such as White spot cure.

Acriflavine doesn't do too much to the protozoa unfortunately.

remember whitespot is only able to be killed when it is not on the fish.

[Thinking of setting up a 600x300x300mm rockpool]

whats the blueish coloured fish bottom left , last pic?

[Thinking of setting up a 600x300x300mm rockpool]

good point and stunning tank

[12L Nano]

I'd probably go for a Clearview 100 hangon if you have the room behind the tank to slide it in, they are tiny but effective (if you remove the carbon and use filter wool instead)

[180L stocking ideas]

to get a better breeding rate I would try 1 male for 3 females, lets the females rest a bit after a bit of luvin

[Growing plankton in aquarium?]

fresh water plankton = infusoria, easy to grow easy to add to tank without problem

[Guppy with pale spot?]

could be a bruise from capture, internal injuries can take a few days to kill

[Show me your Fishrooms]

probably took hours of cleaning before photo (yes we can see the junk bucket on the bottom left)

[Thinking of setting up a 600x300x300mm rockpool]

scoria is a good option too if you can get larger peices, has very good surface area for colonisation and is more natural looking for a NZ tank than coral

[keep AXOLOTL in pond?]

the axo will be fine with the goldfish, the other way round may not be true

[Sophia's minifish breeding log - vid update p12]

just a sugestion but what are you feeding the new fry?

diets lacking in particular nutrients particularly calcium, magnesium and silica can stunt growth on young fish (it was Clownfish I think)

(now where did I put that link....)

[Recommended fish shops between the bombay hills and Tauranga]

yes thats all in Tauranga, kinda sad actually

[keep AXOLOTL in pond?]

Don't see why not, watch out for cats though, they love axo's. But the black one we had in a pond liked to nibble childrens toes

[Hunting for silver community fish]

cochus and columbians are regulars on the lists.

moonlights are around regularly (I know of at least 2 breeding pairs)

and bristlenose.......

[Remove partition]

I agree

that super braid will cut anything especially fingers

so make sure to wrap it around something other than your fingers

[Hunting for silver community fish]

really want a minimum 6ft tank for a group of 4, they get to 35cm and are greedy as. tend to be peaceful but as per normal will eat anything bitesized. also tend to do best in a high current flow tank

[Hunting for silver community fish]

yours will be about 1/2 grown, expect them to get to 12inches (30cm) they tend to be slow growers and once slightly older they get quite territorial, sorry but youll have to rehome one of them eventually anthony

[Hunting for silver community fish]

and the dollars will probably shred the siamese

pictus will probably munch back the cochu'sm and glass cats
