Happy birthday pal! I spent last night making my mates 900Ltr display tank.It is currently looking like glass coffin, very exciting for him and for me so I can get his fish out of my tank and more onto my project.

:nfs: !drool: Wow that fish is stunning

Haha, that song just made my day

It is a horrible sight! Looks like things are coming back to normal. Death toll still at three. I will do a good clean, and reset tomorrow.

Nice tank Dennis

Sweet I will move the tank today.

Death toll at this stage is 1 harliquin and 1 dwarf chain loach. There is still some odd behaviour going on, I am not use to seeing the Paki and zebra loaches during the day. So I will keep a close eye on it nd fingers crossed the death toll stays at 2. Thanks all for the input and the learning around not dragging a fish through water.

I put a few stems into a tank with some dwarf sag and a crypt. But it made me think. at this time of the year is it too cold for this to work or is it ok? I can put the tank inside on a bay window as an alternative

I did it with DIY a while ago and lost some L002's so I am packing rite now.

:nilly: :nilly: More things to think about, I should of just stuck to Africans! Thank you all for the advice and otherthings I need to think about

Note taken. Fingers crossed, and I will do that. I am planning on leaving the C02 off for the next couple of days until everything is seeing to be happy again

I will turn the light off then. Most fish are looking like they are pretty buggerd, same have already stopped swimming :dead%fish &c:ry . I am hoping the plecos and loachs get through, I am not worried about the other fish in the tank anywere near as much

Should I leave the light on over night or turn it off?

Drag water/oxygen through the gills. I have heard numorus people do this.

I had a power cut last night,did not think anything of it. I also turned my C02 up a little yesterday, no side affects during yesterday. I came home from work to find all but dead fish, the filter had not turned back on from this morning.The filter was set to break the water a little and the tank was in perfect harmony. Now what do I do too savethese fish? So far I have done too water changes, got the filter going, lwered the water for more surface break, turned off the c02, and install an air stone. I also dragged the fish backwards through the water. ( Is that wise?) Is there anything else I can do other than cross my fingers?

Or I can just utlise one of the many empty fish tanks I have in the backyard

Will a plastic cake container or a takeaway container work insteed of a glasshouse?

After reading this, I am trying to get the big boss lady at my work to get one in for us! Thanks guys

Is the change in water doing it? I got fish from CHCH a while ago, and slowly one by one they kicked the bucket, and I put it down to the change of water from city too city

Cool, I will rig something up then. I have heaps of it so I can afford to make a few mistakes on the way.

But lifting with your groin and your back with a jerking twisting motion is the way that Peter Griffin taught me :smot:

So what I am getting from that, is be patient grassshopper. And the new grow should come through eventualy with the colour that I am after?

Cheers bro, will do

Whats the idea behind the white plastic underneth everything?

It was the only place that I could find it. I guess I will be looking again
