:roll: is that a killie thing? like clown loaches playing dead? thank gosh for procrastination huh?

that's how i have mine, except i have noodles underneathe coarse sponge, not on top. Works well for me

I saw an albino female on TradeMe, pic was not the actual but looked the same, and looked fantastic. Unfortunately i had a few too many drinks with friends :roll: and forgot to log on for the auction close :evil: I want one... so bad. Would like to cross with one of my swordtail males and see what kind of pretties show up.

AWESOME!!! On my way...

Yeah, me neither As per above, would we really get in trouble if we discussed getting any turtles out of public waterspace?

wow, that's a nice big bluey!!! Lucky!! He's gorgeous I'd love to keep some that size... How long does it take for them to get that big, anyone?

P.S. When you see what's left over after a bucket/tub feed, you'll be glad you're not putting that mess in your tank any more

Mine was the same at first, but it didn't take him long to get used to it, now eats happily in his bucket. He'll get the idea - Give it a shot, the results are well worth it.

moi? *points at self* was kidding... sorry...

i'll go!!! turtle hunt!!!! haha, they're quick though.... we could set traps, homer simpson style :ol:

yesh - today i'm cleaning mine for the first time so i'll let you know what the damage is. But canisters are pretty good for cleaning/rinsing, so should be ok, i'm more worried about the smell :lol:

This is what it looks like, mine has different taps but otherwise:

of the filter itself, or how i have it set up?

wow, that's more techni9cal than my guess. Thought maybe matter was being broken up and getting through the media...

Hey Helena, i have a 12cm turt in a 900mm x 450mm tank, filled about 30cm with water (just over 100L). I also use a CF1000. I haven't had any problems since installing it, no brownish water etc, but thought i'd try and help. How do you have your filter media set up?

gatito would like to welcome tHEcONCH to the forums, and hopes tHEcONCH finds it most entertaining and informative.

hulk hogan (just for his moustache and love of small children and kittens) Green Hulk or Grey Hulk?

And how do you know it's a fry unless you look real close at the "poop"? :lol:

road (mountain's nicer but i'd fall down it) boxing or kickboxing

Yeah, bettas have charachter I love 'em They can change their appearance a bit - become duller/paler when frightened or trying to hide etc, brighter when showing off, but i don't think they would actually change colour? I think it's more likely that it's the amount of natural light changing that makes different colours show more. I have a male that has dark blue, bright blue, purple, greenish and aqua, and i often can't see some of the colours, but when i get him under a decent display light i can see all of them - just depended on the time of day/amount of light/direction of light. Hope that helps

awesome, gorgeous fish

That's very nice of you Mark, wish i'd decided on a holiday now!! - i was gonna come see the park this weekend (drag my partner to wildlife parks and reserves at every chance i get), but we decided not to go away... Never mind, another time And i'll make sure to say hi

lol awesome!!! I just posted asking about them giving birth - haven't been able to catch mine while it was happening

awesome!! more keep appearing every now and again... i wonder what it looks like, i've seen a shark n dolphin give birth on tv, it looks funny... Do they pop out slowly so that she's swimming round with an extra "appendage", or does it happen rather quickly?

skip, of course!! cycle or rollerblade
