If ur doing more constant smaller water changes then the ph will move naturally and slowly the fish most like won't even know the difference alternatively u could age water in a barrel if need be but I don't think discus are that finicky if the pet shops can do big cold water changes and et away With it. Here in wellington the oh out the tap is always 7.6 to 7.8 so pretty high. And I have bettas and killifish...

my whiteworm farm is in a big poly box, under the native freshwater tank, seems to keep them cold enough! hope yours do okay! - blackworms can be bought from rodneys tropicals, but they are a bit eww (even for an experienced live food feeder i was all like eww) but are hard to keep

ive shown someone who may be able to help your message

sorry to hear of your injury and hopefully you heal up nice and fast - maybe worth contacting the AFA to see if they have any members that may want to pop up to you and see if they can give you a hand or anything like that - they have a facebook page also if you are on there

welcome!

so, my filamentosa i got a we while back ive been sitting on peat from them (incubation time of 60 days) - well 12 days overdue and i thought i had better hatch them cos i could see eyes staring at me. Good news New Zealand - aparently they are alive - I now have fry - which have had 3 feeds of bbs now, and have gone from a small round container (collection container) to their own tank bay with filter today and peat bottom. - so now all we do is lots of water changes and massive feeds and well... we PRAY they survive.

yay - cant view your video either...

Hi... we have 2 clubs locally upper hutt and kapi mana. I'll let ya know if I have any spare plants I have some amazon swords you can come and collect if wanting some swords. ( I'm upper hutt) a few in my community tank need removing as some of the rarer plants aren't getting enough space. Other wise a local sells very cheap plants aquatic plants. Co.nz.

Hi guys I have 8 long finned peppered cories and I want to increase my group I think... luck has deceived me and I have all females.... I've had my group for 2 years almost and not once have the spawned... the biggest one is a whopping three inch wing span so I'm talking mature fish. Anyway if anyone has any they'd let go let me know. Thanks heaps

You can put a smelly shrimp in a stocking in the tank... that will keep Tha bacteria fed for a bit.. or if u really want I'm in upper hutt and can kick start ur filter off my betta barracks or can switch ya some seeded material... You could always just try it and thwn be ready to maybe wait one more week after u get back to check thw water fully to make sure... Also I know ya want to add fish slowly but cories are a social bunch and love having bigger groups aim for at least 6 I'd say even better is 8 but watch your stocking levels with a 100 tank. Plenty of us out there who can help if you want some help. Enjoy your holiday... ( another option would be to find a cheap auto feeder if u wanted)

Welcome
