Feeding fry egg yolk?
Put half a glass of milk in with the water. That should help it set off on the green trail Ulun 104

Question for the gurus. White spot
I was just going to put that up. Lot easier to treat in a BBhospital tank. Can then dose full-dose on the main tank, and dose accordingly for the other fish that don't appreciate the meds. at that strength. Ulun 104

Question for the gurus. White spot
It isn't the temp that kills, it just speeds up the lifecycle. When they hatch, and come in contact with the medication, that is the kill period. Must continue treatment for at least three days AFTER you think the fish are clear. Yes, watch for the spikes and do water changes with aged, and same temp water so as not to stress the fish any more. the clowns prolly died from the medication as they can not tolerate the full dosage. Sorry about the loss and hope things improve. Ulun 104

Inca50 dwarfs

Some one please Check HFF
ljtan55, if they are two males, then I'd be very wary about getting them both and having them in the same tank together. They aren't called "fighters" for nothing. Ulun 104

Some one please Check HFF
Adult fish: 4-5 inches (12cm) in length, sexually diamorphic, mouthbrooder, non-aggressive, can be kept in a community tank. Aquarium Parameters: pH 5.8-6.5: soft, lightly acidic water. Temp: 71-770 F(22-250C), low light, floor fish, plants Foods: Live/frozen foods I may have made an error in deciding that they were not a pair. See if you can get them, they IMO had a good price, and may not get imported again. Ulun 104

Livebearer show
"T" is the Livebearer class, and I think the AOS stands for Any Other Specie. Ulun 104

Crypts
Check out Brent up at Pupuke Aquarium, Pupuke Rd. Ulun 104

Some one please Check HFF
Some one please Check HFF, Frost Rd for me?? I was impressed with the bettas that they had about half way down the long wall and I think the middle row. I'd appreciate it if you or any one else could check out the name that they have up for them. They were NOT Betta splendens either. I think they were two males, and if they had of been a pair, they'd be in my tank now. Ulun 104

Anyone know?
If you get in touch with the Pres. of the NZKA, a Christine Marshal, she should know, as she is the species coordinator. I have quite a few species Shae, but as I have just got back from Oz, I'm not set up for breeding at the moment, hopefully soon tho. Aquanut has three different species on T/M and pretty reasonably grown on too. You are quite right too Shae that there are less breeders and members in the club now. Check the yearbook and get in touch with them that way as well. Ulun 104

filter leaking
Coat the ring with vaseline before joining them together. If this fails, I'd suspect a crack or a chip. Alan 104

How does my Aquarium filter go together???
I hear-tell that NZ is a fairly stretched out set of two islands. Where abouts on those islands are you situated. Some one nearby may be able to help you. I think if you go to your PROFILE and change it to that place, that that is the way to go. No I haven't got a filter like that, but thanks. But with the new tank, I'd wash the filter with some of the tank water, do a water change with aged water, and go from there. But if the flter has been down for too long, you'll have to start all over. Alan 104
-
How old before they need to go?
Definately now. They are ready to pass on at that size, even if they can't be sexed. Buyers should have the opportunity to get 6 at least, so as there is a reasonable possibility of at least one pair, but maybe more, to be formed. Good one on the babies too. When are you thinking of selling them?? Alan 104

Hatching brine shrimp
1.030 is the SG of the sea water Alan. I don't know what that ratio works out to cause I get mine from the Ohiwa harbour. Try doing google on Brine Shrimp Direct, they have a good information section in that. For just hatching them no additions are neccessary, but to raise them up, more salts are required. Alan 104

Sharp edges!!!
That's why it should be done with water. Alan 104
-
Sideways heaters?
You have it Rogan. Heat rises and the cold water moves in to be heated. Called convection if I remember from my school days. This in time MUST create an even temp thru out the tank. Alan 104
-
Sharp edges!!!
I use a round disc shaped emery stone called a spit stone for obvious reasons. Used for sharpening axes. Smoothing edges should be done with running water to alliviate the chance of glass splinters flying and also less wear on the stone. There is also a diamond dust disc used with an electric drill, but I've never used this system, but I do know of others that have. Alan 104
-
Sideways heaters?
Surely if you had adequqte filtration, therefore adequate water movement, there would be no such thing as a "cold area" The tank water is near enough the same all over. You can develop a cooler area under the gravel without an U/G fiter tho Alan 104
