I'm no expert, which is why I keep my mouth shut most of the time but I think that could mean parasites. Don't worry though, just wait for someone with more experience to answer. There are treatments for parasites I believe.

I've got angels in my community tank and they haven't been a problem yet. I got them when they were very small and they are still smallish. I am not sure what I will do if they start causing problems later because I really like them.
I will just wait and see

Wow - another Wellingtonian. Which part of the area are you from?
Sorry I can't help with the temp question but there are others who will be able to.
Welcome to the forum

Hi Ormali
what is the vacuum thing you use to start the syphoning? Is it just one that uses an up and down motion in the tank to start it off because I have never been able to make that work ................ sigh

I have no idea what sex mine is. How can I tell?
And I would love one of your fish Heather - thanks for the offer. Could you pm me so we can arrange to meet up somewhere? You would be welcome to visit here if you want
Cheers

Are these fish happier in pairs or small schools? One of my two died recently and the other seems to be moping. Just wondering if I should get a couple more to add to the tank
Cheers

Hi Lindy and welcome.
Levin is my home town. I grew up there but left over 30 yrs ago. Still have some friends there though and was there a year or two ago for the Levin North School reunion.

I add water from the hose straight into the tap and I put in the water ager first. I've done a rough calculation that tells me how much water ager I need per inch of water but I confess the method is a bit rough and ready.
Because its a big tank and I do smallish changes the temp doesn't drop enough to bother the fish.
Cheers
Judy
How are you doing it? Are you siphoning the water out because that shouldn't make much mess. There was a thread recently on different ways of changing water - I'll go see if I can find it
Cheers
