[Suspected White Spot on Bully]

Yes, the cheaper one

[Suspected White Spot on Bully]

If treated quickly the bully should pull through.

Id say so... You might want to contact them to confirm though.

[Suspected White Spot on Bully]

I use rock salt, table salt has some sort of anti-clumping chemical.

[Suspected White Spot on Bully]

Salt. I use 2 teaspoons per litre of water, im not sure what the recommended dosage is....

Trademe or the wanted to buy section on this forum.

[Tank too small?]

3 foot long. Large surface area is the way to go with fish, it allows a larger oxygen tranfer into the water.

[Bent spine]

Oops, sorry i forgot to say that unlike the first one this fish doesnt rest on the bottom and can almost swim normally and its spine only appears slighty bent while swimming. But when it stops swimming (hovers?) Its tail droops at a 30 degree angle.

[Tank too small?]

It's one of those questions where it depends on who you ask. I'm a bit crazy about good tank size. I personally feel that 300L is a bare minimum, preferably 400L - I tend to go with "goldfish belong in ponds" as it's more likely to happen compared to someone buying like a 1000L tank for their goldies (now that's dedication, lol).

Phone malfunction :oops:

[Bent spine]

I dont have a test kit.

I added a bully recently, but he was quarintined for 3 weeks.

The rock is sturdy, when i set it up i made sure it was safe.

Any diseases or parisites that can cause this? I first thought tb but apart from the limp tail there are no other symptoms.

[Koura tank too small?]

Reading this post and your previous one makes me think that we should look at adding a recommended tank size to the native profiles on our website

I will see if it can be done on the new site once it is up and running

:gpo2:

[Bent spine]

A couple of months ago one of my banded kokopu devoloped a bent spine, one day it appeared perfectly healthy then the next day it couldnt hold its tail up starting half way down the body and it would only swim a few inches then it wouldrest on the ground. It stopped eating and started losing condition, so i moved it to a quarintine tank and planned on posting n here the next morning but my cat got hungry so i didnt... Now a second kokopu has devoloped the same bent spine.

I do weekly water changes and i dont overfeed.

Any ideas?

Thanks

[Help]

Searching google 2 weeks is the recommended light deprivation time frame for bad algal blooms. Sounds like a long to me.....

[Help]

Maybe too much light? Just cover the tank up for a couple of days?

[Giant Kokopu]

Koaro have the same measurement as size so im thinking typo...

[Koura tank too small?]

Koura arent big waste producers as long as you arent overfeeding it and it can comfortably move around it should be fine. As it grows you may need a larger tank though.

[Giant Kokopu]

Just a quick question, why is 160-180mm written as the size of giant kokopu on this site?

[Question about silver dollars health]

I dont do tropicals but it looks fine to me, maybe just a bit under fed.....

[Bully tank size]

Trademe

[feeding koura]

Theyre scavengers and they dont need much food to survive, but once they are full the food will go to waste and pollute the water.

[The What's Up? thread.]

Got back from auckland and thought two of my bullies were covered in whitespot..... False alarm, messy spawn :facepalm:
