Good to meet a fellow wellingtonian.

Tottaly agree, if i ever get disease, i use salt in conjunction with peat. very effective, dont like adding chemicals to a tank. Shae

Nope, atleast not to my knowlege

Sorry, i didnt know. Havn't been to the club in a long time.

Whens the conference?

Beer=Yeast=White Lets see if the fish get drunk.....(3 minutes later)......Oh uhm....there dead.......now lets see if they can get stoned........ Shae

That looks absolutely stunning Caryl, extremely impressed Shae

This whole thing seems like abit of a waste of breath, lucky its typing ay a lot of miscommunication. Shae

Welcome to the forum. Nice to see people from Tauranga in the hobby and involved here on the forum. Just recently come back from a holiday at the mount. Not so great weather the last few days. Brilliant for Sailing though. Shae

I used to have these quite often, was never able to keep them alive very long.

Fair enough. BS is worth investing in though, for the future at any rate. Shae

Why bother with green water when you can feed them BBS straight off? Shae

Betta fry can take BS from free swimming. Forget about Green water. Shae

Answer: You don't Shae

To my knowlege Apple snails do not live well in cold water. Shae

Seems it takes longer, the further down the north island you go, which makes no sence, considering they where mailed from blehniem. Maybe wellingtons mail system is crap. Shae

Crumble, flake, and small freshwater mussels is what i used to feed mine. Shae

Or you could get clippings off ppl in wellington, like alot of other ppl do. I'd be happy to give you some Glosso to start off yourself kookie. Shae

Awesome, looking forward to it C. Shae

Ok, your far under the inch of fish per gallon rule of thumb. You could have twice as many fish of same or similar size as your current ones if you wanted to. Thats a nice sized tank. Shae

I find Angels far too tempremental to bother with. Dwarf Cichlids are always a good choice, But apistos and Cockatoo's can be very aggresive, i would tend to steer clear from those. Kribs and Rams are really neat fish and aslong as you have plenty of females to males your fine. Keyholes are awesome cichlids and are very gentle, would be an awesome addition to your tank (if your interested i will be aquiring a few from down south soon, as i have found them very hard to source here in wellington) Do not get Firemouths, they get big and will eat small fish and are ugly regarless of there colouration. Shae

What size (e.g measurements) is the tank. How many of which fish in it do you currently have? Shae

If your after a Carpet plant you cant go wrong with some Glosso. Shae

Yup give them a good scrub then a soak in boiling water. Shae

What size is your tank? and what numbers of each fish do you have/will be adding, what species of cichlid do you want to add? Gouramies are good community peacful fish. But if yur tank is over stocked dont add anymre fish. Shae
