I had to read that twice - I thought you said "his bits" :oops: :oops: Jude

not the tanks, he is stacking his family up against the walls to make room for the tanks ........... :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers Jude

errkkkk, would be enough to put you off pumpkin for life - think I will try a carrot Cheers Jude

:lol: You have MTS already - took me at least three weeks to catch it. Good luck and start thinking about getting a bigger house ....... :lol: :lol: Cheers Judy

Yep, thats what I figgered too - its gonna be a tough fish - and at least I know that somwhere I have a breeding pair ...... :lol:

And welcome from me too - I am really new to this so don't know very much about changes - bet its still as much fun tho Cheers Jude

What vegetables can be fed to fish - especially bristlenoses, apart from zuchhini, cucumber and peas? Do they eat pumpkin? celery? any other suggestions? Cheers Jude

Ages ago I decided to empty the tank on the deck. I pulled out all the plants, caught all the fish, then dumped the plants back in. I turned the heater off, the filter stopped working, the tank got filthier and filthier. Two weeks ago I pulled out all the overgrown plants again, emptied the tank, filled it with cold chlorinated water, replanted and ignored it again. Last night I was given some WCMM's (thanks Minchton) so today I cleaned the tank again, refilled it, fixed the filter and took the unused heater out. Tonight I found a tiny little pepper cory baby in there! Beats me how the poor wee thing survived - or how many I probably murdered :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers Jude

Has it got rid of the diesel smell? Seriously, what an awful thing to happen - hope it dries out real soon. I live in dread of doing the same thing myself Cheers Jude

Hi and welcome. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do. We usually get together in the chat room at about 9pm each night and sometimes we even stop being silly long enough to talk about fish Cheers Jude

Thanks for the info Misty, it was useful. Is there a ph they do best at? Cheers Jude

Hi Muerk and welcome. You are sure to get heaps of help from here, its a great place to be Cheers Jude

OK boys Can we stop fighting and get back to looking after bettas please? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hiya I would like some bettas in my tank, I just love the colours. But I know nothing about keeping them. Can you have males and females together? Can you have more than one male? I suspect this answer will be No. Can you have more than one female? What happens when they are breeding - do they get aggressive to each other? What else should I know? lol Cheers Judy

Hi Vicky Is Travis coming to the dinner too? I need to confirm numbers this week Cheers Judy

:lol: I can't say I am overly concerned, just interested in whether what I thought I knew was right or not ........... if that makes sense. There's a lot of other things I think that probably aren't right either but I don't intend to share them !!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers Jude (who intends to keep some secrets)

LOL, well I am still none the wiser. I agree with Penejanes comments and with Alan's .............. so I am no further ahead Cheers Jude

Can someone help me here please. Every so often I see people mention flushing sick fish. I am sure that years ago I read that you shouldn't do that because it could spread diseases through our waterways. I think it also said that on the odd occasion the fish might survive and multiply - though how a single, sick fish could manage that puzzles me ........... :lol: Is my information correct or am I well out of date? - No smart replies about use-by dates please!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers Jude

Hi and welcome Another Wellingtonian for the group ........... I've never had a problem with any fish bought locally so perhaps it is stress or something in your case. Cheers Jude

I haven't had any problems with it putting dust in the house, perhaps it depends on what the insulation is, or how old the house is. I agree it doesn't cool the house in summer but the heater in the system avoids the cold in winter. I just have the timer set for half hour on, half hour off overnight - so its only on for about 4 hrs a day. Still wouldn't be without it Cheers Jude (who is going to be accused of being off-topic if she doesn't shut-up)

You need lots of tanks for pink fish too because sometimes they fight and have to be separated Welcome Claire Cheers Jude

Hi Pies Yes, I consider the DVS to be one of the best investments I've ever made. It would be the first thing I'd put in any other house I moved into. This house used to have huge dampness problems in winter and I've had no mould, no dripping windowsills etc. for 5 yrs or more. And you don't have to keep emptying them like dehumidifiers Cheers Jude

I wonder if my mother kept me in a small tank!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Jude

If you start to have a serious problem with condensation I'd recommend the DVS system. Wainui is built on a bog and we used to have dreadful problems - the water would be running off the sills every morning. I haven't had a steamed up window since we put in the DVS 5 years ago. We put a heater in the system to avoid any cold draughts from it. Cheers Judy (who isn't a DVS sales rep :lol: :lol: :lol: )
