Welcome, fantastic looking pictures. Hope we get to see more soon Cheers Jude

I just used fishing sinkers again - I got a bag of tiny ones from The Warehouse and tied them on with fishing line. The leaves hide the sinkers and the plants stay where you want them until they attach. Cheers Jude

I've used driftwood from the beach. I washed it well then attached some fishing sinkers to it to hold it down. The sinkers were hidden in the gravel and it worked well. Cheers Jude

Ramshorn snails won't eat your plants so I wouldn't panic. If you don't like the look of them get some clown loaches and let nature do its job

Paper plates just need a quick heat through - enough to lighly brown them. Plastic plates should not be barbecued because they stink .......... it does keep the mozzies away though. China plates can take longer and need gentle heating to ensure they don't crumble - but can be a lot tastier than the paper variety. A useful hint is to marinate the crockery plates overnight - it makes them a lot more tender. Hope thats useful :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Awwww, poor fish. Try putting it in the hospital tank
-
I never thought of that - you could end up with a little pile of white sand instead of a fish :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You could seal it with bright yellow paint so it matches the duck of course Cheers Jude (who is now on the look out for a bad taste plastic fish)

Looking good. I can see the yellow duck but where is the fish Ian and I gave you? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Don't let them go in your ears in the first place. They are probably just looking for a place to breed :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Nope, not here either
-
I don't have any at the moment because I've just redone my tanks and given the extras away. But if you pm me in a month or so I am sure I will have spares. Cheers Jude
-
That looks really nice. I'd make some attempt to hide the heater and lines behind the plants but that will happen anyway as they grow taller. Love the tiger barbs. I am currently setting up a whole tank for them. Cheers Jude
-
Welcome. I think that is what's so addictive about the hobby - there's always more to learn. Where in NZ are you? Cheers Jude
-
Yep, I am doing that - did a large one last night and will do another today - I figger that with fish popping off right, left and centre it would need something drastic to keep the water in a decent condition
-
Ummm - hang on, I'll check the bottle. No idea, the bottle doesn't say but I'd guess methylene blue because it turns the water blue. Cheers Jude
-
Ha Ha - MTS sets in already. Before you know it you will be turfing out the family to make room for more tanks :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi alanmin I'm using blue circle whitespot cure. I've never had ich before but I had a bottle on hand just in case. Cheers Jude
-
Thanks Janet, I don't think it was overstocked because, apart from the bn's, it only had baby platies but its worth bearing in mind when the outbreak is over and I look at putting fish back in. Cheers Judy
-
My reply disappeared - or I hit the wrong button. The temp is up and I will continue the treatment until it is clear or the last poor itchy wee fish has passed on. Looking at them makes me want to scratch Cheers Jude
-
What about snails? I have lots of red ramshorns in there
-
One of my tanks has whitespot and the fish are badly infected. I am having daily losses despite raising the temp and using white spot cure. I think I've discovered the cause - 2 largish long dead bristlenoses under a rock. That can't have done much for the water quality! Anyway, my question is, assuming the fish don't make it, how should I treat the tank, stones and plants to ensure the tank is safe again? Its a small 2 foot tank with a UG filter. Cheers Jude
-
In my opinion you should try and get your kicks somewhere else. Sounds like watching the fish just isn't gonna work :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was wondering whether he planned to heat the dog house and how much that would cost per month :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
