Hannahbell Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Im from Tauranga. I was introduced to Tropical fish by my very good friend and just LOVE it. I have 4 daughters who enjoy watching and learning about the fish also. We have had a few teething problems with the tank and unfortunatly lost a couple of fish, but everything looks to be on the up and up now. This looks to be an excellent forum, and I know I will be getting a lot of advice from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannahbell Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Would LOVE to get a bigger one at some stage. I have 5 killi fish, 3 platies, 4 lemon Tetras and 3 little ones (harlequin something). And two baby bristle nose. When I first started I had a male and female bristle nose who bred twice (unfortunatly they have both since died ) One of my baby bristle nose is from the first lot of eggs. Ive had some live plants in my tank for about 2 weeks now, and its the clearest I have ever seen it. Thanks for all the welcomes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannahbell Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I had no idea you even had fish LOL. Carole introduced me to the wonderful world of Tropical fish, but I stumbled upon this site a wee while ago when I was (and still are) having problems with my bristlenose. Just had another one die this afternoon. Its wierd, no other fish are dying, only the BN that I buy from the shops. I have one baby BN from my first lot of eggs, but the mum and Dad have since died too. Carole has helped me heaps with my tank, but its time to let go of the apron strings and stop ringing her every time I have a problem :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vindy500 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 regards the bn, have you got wood in your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannahbell Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Im having issues with the PH level at the moment. I have read that it may be because of the wood, but my BN love it, the wood that is (well the remaining one does). My PH level is low, slowly but surely coming up, but yeah, it was low. My killi fish are soooo happy, very colourful. My Platies are very happy as are my other fish. I wonder if my remaining BN has maybe gotten used to the water conditions and thats why he is the only one I have been able to keep? Its quite happy just sucking around the tank, rasping on the wood and keeping to himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimebag Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 hi hannah, welcome to the forum. what is your ph at? you should have no probs with tauranga water. remember your ph doesnt HAVE to be at 7. better to be stable. i cant for the life of me get my tank to 7 ph, no matter how many water changes i do, it sits at around 6.2.
