Wow, awesome fish, great pics, thanks for sharing them.

Welcome, love your websites, very nice.

Welcom to the group. Hope you have as much fun here as I do.

Sorry for your loss, hoping you figure out what went wrong, so you can avoid it next time.

It was the Bubbles that were complained about, but talking to Alan, he said to lessen the amount of air going through, and move it away from the glass, I am going to a bigger town tomorrow, so will have a look at other options there aswell. Thanks for the advice everyone

The small tank is 24x12x12. The Bubbly annoys hubby, when he is trying to watch TV :roll: I have the air pump going now, providing bubbles to a long air stone in the small tank, and a small air stone in the larges tank....hardly any noise at all and no complaining. The filter that was in there, was a corner sponge filter. Personally I would like an internal filter, something small, without too much current.

Todays Question is >>>>>>>do I need a filter in the tank at all? I took the sponge filter out, as it was just too darn noisy. I have put in a air stone thingie, thats nearly the full length of the tank, it runs along the back of the tank (looks really nice LOL) The PH looks about the same as the main tank, going by a colour chart. I have added 1 of my golden apple snails, it is about the size of a golf ball. If all goes well I will add the WCMM tonight.

Awwwwwww thats sad Shae, I wopuld happily take those purple ones off you if we were closer. Hope they behave themselves in the future

OK here is what I have done..... Filled 3/4 new water, 1/4 from other tank, the 4 WWCM are in the tank now that was treated. Have put some river pebbles in as well as the ugly bright coloured gravel ( had some in storage.......so washed it....don't like it at all, but it is in there now :roll: ) Have added a peice of driftwood and feature rock from the original tank. I have the filter running....don't like that either....to noisey LOL, thinking about getting a small internal filter. Have the heater in and running. How many days do you reakon I should wait until the WCMM and a snail go in? What sort of internal filter system could I get for a 24x12x12, cheap :lol: Thanks for the guidance everyone.

I have 3 huge apple snails, would they help at all? I was thinking of putting them in anyway, so I can start having some nice plants in my bigger tank, without them being munched on LOL. Also, the extablished tank has been treated for white spot the last week, is that going to be ok for putting a few buckets of water in the new tank? I am running a Fluval 3plus filter in the extablished tank, so do I just sqeeze some of the gunk onto the sponge filter?

Awesome, thanks for the great info, will do as suggested I have some small B/noses, so if I can catch a couple I will put them in too

I am going to set up a new tank today, and want to make sure I get the basics right *I will fill it with water from our tank supply (as we have no other supply LOL.) *I have a sponge filter that I will put in. *I have a heater (but that doesn't have to be on until a day or 2 before the fish go in, right?) *I have 4 WCMM, and was thinking of putting them in first, to help cycle the tank, when would be a good time to do that? *The bottom of the tank will be bare to start with, but was thinking of getting small river rocks which are readily available to me. Anything important that I have missed? Any tips would be appreciated.

Thats good to hear

Now that killies have got my interest I guess I better find out some info on them. What size tank is best suited? (my spare is a 24x12x12) What temp requirements? What filter requirements? What type of killies to get, easily accessable & cost? How many to a tank? I am sure I will be back with more Q's shortly LOL.

Congrats once again on new babies No chance of baby swordies for me with only 1 male :lol: I am definately no expert but I don't see any problem with adding the new ones to the fry tank.

Welcome to the group, look forward to your posts.

Welcome to a great group of people. They are all fantastic and helpful.

Thanks for that, I thought that might have been the case :-?

I have been trying to get a decent pic of this male guppy, without much success. I am wondering about his "anal" fin. It looks totally different to the other male guppy I have. It is long and flowing, and almost reaches the back of his tail....haven't seen another guppy like this so far, and was wondering if this Anal fin is different from the gonopodium (hoping I got that correct LOL), or is it the same thing.....if so would this make him sterile? He is a really pretty colour, looks more yellow during the day, and more blue at night, he has a pattern on his body aswell.

Awesome pics there, very pretty fish

Darn those red x's....most hated things on the net :lol:

Ok, I only have a PH Tester kit and it reads between 6.6 & 7.0 130ltr No, but I have some. I don't want to hurt my little B/noses Hopefully it will right itself soon, poor lil fishies

Looks fantastic!!!!! Oh jeeezzeeeeeee I want Killies now :lol:

I bet they are happy, good luck

OK, I'm worried now, as it is not getting any better! My Fav femal guppy has it all over her now, looks terrible, the 2 male guppies have it on their fins and tails, and some of the baby guppies have it all over aswell. The other species of fish look fine, no signs of whitespot as yet. Poor thing, look terrible, but are eating and behaving normally. If I can get hold of another white spot remedy, is it ok to treat the tank right away?
