Very nice, what is the red one with the white spots? Caper

Heh...where the pics???? Caper

Hi there! Wow, that is quite the set up you have there Are killies the only fish you have? Take care & have fun, Caper

Sorry about Olly Caper

AAAAAAND...where are the pics of the stand...ah, did I miss them, has anyone seen pics of this stand??? :lol: :lol: Caper

I wasn't so concerned about the heat although when they first thought the power would be out for a couple of days I was a little concerned! Actually the day the power was off it was really cold, if I had power the heat would have been on. There have been a couple of days I've had to turn the heat on...which I do not do unless really really cold. I hate having to turn the heat on (scared of those dollar signs :lol: )so there are times when I probably wouldn't if it wasn't for others or my cats or my fish 8) I was more concerned about the filter and the water parameters. But this was a good test, since this is the first time that it was out for any length of time. Caper

dixon...you poor, ah person. You really really have a bad case of MTS, new tanks, new ponds :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Caper

I love the bamboo Looks much better than the hoses Since I don't know what a Mitre10 store is...what kind of store?? Caper

Sorry Dixon, can't help...not carpentary oriented in any way! Although, some day hope to build my own stand with lots of help of course :lol: :lol: Caper

I LOVE IT...excellent job Kezza Caper

Thanks Zev Caper

I agree with Dixon about boiling I don't have rocks in my aquariums but everything I've read so far re: rocks, people usually boil them before putting in the aquarium. Caper

jjay3, sorry to hear about your oranda Caper

Ah, but the yellows look cute Now, the question is, can anyone tell me what the fish are in 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and what the heck is 18? Caper

editkid, post progress pics as your tank takes on its new appearance. Caper

Ah, they are friends :lol: Do they always get along, or do they fight? Caper

Did they ever grow, and are so pretty Female bettas don't have the long fins like the males, do they? Caper

Thank you Yes, I thought that too but wanted to check with all you wise fishy people. Not overly concerned just yet, because this is not something that is constantly happening. Caper

Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd post here because I have a goldfish who is doing the same thing! The other night he was "twitching" his body, almost in an "s" like shape. Only did this for a few seconds then stopped. I gave him as close a look as you can with him in his watery home :-? 8) and could not see anything on him or anything about him that didn't look "right". Last night, he did the same thing only thing different he did "flash" himself on the gravel. Again, I couldn't see anything on him. Water parameters are all fine. But as a precaution I did do a water change. For those of you who didn't see the thread, I had a power outage the other day (7.5 hours). He shares his home with another goldfish & 3 ottos (the other goldie is temp in the small tank) and so far have not seen them doing anything like he is doing. He is not doing this constantly, mind you I do not sit 24/7 in front of the tank, but it is in my living room by the TV so I do see what's going on in there quite a bit. Any suggestions? Caper

I just stick a fork through it! Caper

You guys sure have a variety to choose from. I've seen 2, yep T W O, kinds sold here :lol: :lol: :lol: :evil: Caper

Okay, I'll cut down on the feeding for a few days as well, thanks During the 36 hours did you do water changes? Until I had fish, I didn't mind if the power went out for a short time 8) Caper

Yep, I agree cory eggs. The way you describe them, I had them too but nothing happened with them...ah, which was a relieve :lol: Good luck & let us know if you end up with some babies. Caper

Ahhh...testing, what do you recommend? Caper

Ohhh, very nice pics indeed Caper
