I'm feeling both unlucky but also very lucky tonight . ! I was just doing my rounds tonight and when i got to the 700L Community tank something was not right, i looked at fish and they were not there normal active self, it took a few mintues but i notice there canister filter had stopped!! , the water was a bit cloudy ( there is a 2nd smaller canister filter on this tank which thank god WAS still going. I took the filter apart and got it going again eventually but something was still not right , checking the temp on the digital thermomiter it was 30.5C one of the heaters had also jammed on at the same time !! NO WONDER THEY LOOKED OFF !! only about 35% normal filteration and 30+ degrees water , poor things. :-? :-? I've unpluged the faulty heater and the temps dropping , its normaly around the 27 degree mark in there. Hope i don't lose fish or at least not to many ( 1's too many for me ) fingers crossed , glad i noticed , no telling what i'd have come down to by the morning ! :roll: :roll:

Welcome from One wainuiomate fish nut to another you have found a great place to learn , just ask and there are lots of people willing to help...good luck and enjoy

Awesome !! i wish hollywoods would open up down here ! Can i put my name down now for some young after you breed them Thanks

Got mine too , Thanks Caryl , great job as always

Happy Birthday Jane !!

I've not got mine yet either Sarah still its worth the wait ...just not good at waiting ..lol

I don't think so , only have two and they have shown no sign of breeding and i have no idea how to sex them

Hi Kookie We have two of these cute little guys in with Amy's Angels,, there known as fin nippers but ours never have, seem quite and full of fun . not sure where to buy them from now tho , sorry

Can't wait to see it as always Caryl , Reads like a Kapimana issue again, come on you Aucklanders, apart from Wok, let give Caryl some help and articles for next issue!

just join a FNZAS afflicated club and you get one automaticly or you can just subscribe to the AW , PM Caryl for that

I agree with most here , G's will be great for that setup, with kribs and rams also fine as long as when they breed they have room to stay away from the others , or should i say the others have room to stay away from them Can't wait to see the finished tank , with all the thought your putting in I'm sure it will be awesome

try a lid , even a make shift cover with holes works

sounds like there getting in the mood now He sould start a bubble nest and when its done let her out and stand back

not yet Jude I think shes not interested

Go girl !! but i must admit to adding just one more today too

I'd say that would be because he was ready and she wasn't, thats why its good to let them see each other without getting to each other , gets them in the mood

let him see a female, not get too a female , maybe put her in a tank next door or a breeding trap , he should start building pretty fast

well done Kookei , welcome to the MTS suffers group

Very nice looking tank !! I think Caryl has the correct answer, add an air stone the oxygen level sounds like its a little low

Very impresive !! I'm sure you will do very very well. Good luck for march

MTS , ahhh i know it so well

Sure drop me a PM or give me a call

Hi PH out of my tap is just under 7.4, no idea of the dH ... oh i'm in Wainuiomata too

Hi and Welcome , I'm in Wainuiomata too so if i can be of any help feel free to ask Lots of nice people in hear always ready to help .

I'd say that would be fine, just ground the baby flake as fine as you can and feed little at a time 3 - 4 times a day.
