If your unsure, can't find a catagory, or there is more than one species in the pic...put it here.

Hello, Not sure if your aware but tunze will be releasing some new controllers soon (Early 2005 avaialble in Australia). These controllers look and have some very sexy features. The new controller seems worthwhile with the fact that you can hook up to it or it may come included, not sure, a...

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought Cycle was only a bacteria designed for fresh water also, however the bottle is labeled something along the lines of "For use in Fresh and Salt Water". The bottle says something like double the dose if it is a Salt Water tank. I will cease to use it, I'm...

Hello All, I just recently turned 21 so thought it would be a good idea to setup a marine tank. Prior to this I had a two foot and four foot tank hosting freshwater tropicals/cichlids. 6 weeks later the tank finally arrived (5 foot x 2 foot x 2 foot). I had everything setup and running...

Think he/she just bought a Black Ghost, or has breed some... which is very very rare. Christmasfish has explained the normally habits of a Ghost Knife in that his particular one is hiding from him etc. doesn't want the tank played with and only comes out at lightsout...... I think?

Plenty of us do, what do you want to know? There isn't much hardness in it but it is good to watch.

Not bad info Allivymar. Im just curious - It mentions "diseases are far more likely on a steady diet of worms". So should I, or should I not continue to feed my Black Ghost Knife on these each day? I mentioned above that I don't like feeding these regularly but I do for the Ghost Knife...

Just to add a little more I wouldn't recommend feeding after introducing them into the tank for the first day. This will be fine as fish can go for awhile without food from what I have read and mine don't seem to care too much. The beauty of this is that it prevents the new fish having to...

Madasafish is this the case with all lfs? I will have to ask next time as they instructed me to change the water. The beauty of the forum and learning something new every visit.

In future I would suggest a quarantine tank to prevent such problems occurring and further infecting all your other fish. In another post TN tanks commented that the tank Im assuming it is your 135gal or there abouts had been cycled. I wouldn't think it is your tank caused the problem if it is...

To answer your other question I don't and havent every fed my live foods. I dont think it is necessary considering you should only store enough that will be consumed in a week. Plus you will be polluting the water and doing more harm than good in my opinion. You should also look into feeding...

Just be sure with live food that you change the water daily with tank water and then re-store them in the fridge. Close to freezing temp is preferably with live food. I use black worms and have them in a container which holds around a cupful of water. Ensure also that the container you have...

Firstly you really need to tell us how big the tank is, how long it has been up and running with filter and the actual readings of the water tests. Based on the information given It sounds like your tank has not been cycled or since it was originally cycled you have added a significant load of...

Guppies generally are peaceful fish and I find it odd that the two didn't get along. Generally females shouldn't fight as most would recommend having a two or three to one female to male ratio. I would put it down to stress. Fish tend to attack those which are weaker. You could try putting...

Thanks mate. Whatever they were have been eaten now anyway... If I see them again I will get another photo hopefully in focus... its just hard at, still trying to get a good photo taking technique

Hello, Was looking at the tank this morning and these little brown circluar things appeared on the drift wood i have in the tank. I have no idea what they are can you help? Maybe eggs maybe not? The fish I have in the tank are: 4 Harlequin Rambosas, 6 Neon Tetras, 2 guppies, 3 bristlenose...

Hi illuminum, I pretty sure you can't keep two males together but two females in one tank without deviders is fine. Keeping a male and a female together is also risky as they may fight especially if they are not ready to mate + the male i think can kill the female after mating. Im not sure...

Thanks mate, i suppose it is a one of investment anyway considering I will just be reusing these over and over. In all honesty I'm probably just being tight and not wanting to fork over $10. Thanks for the advice. Be interested in those vege clips, havent seen any over here but would...

Just thought I would also mention a method I use to reduce the snail numbers in my tank is to place a half piece of carrot cut down the middle about 2 inches long anchored to the substrate. After around 3 or so days a large number of the snails will attach themselves to this and then I simple...

Hello, just curious as to whether I can use the small weights people attach to fishing lines in my FW tank? I plan on buying a few weights and tying fishing line to these to weigh down zucchini and other vegetables in my 17gal tank for my small briselnose cats. Just curious whether placing...

From what my lfs says clown loaches dont get large too quickly however do over time. I'm not to sure as to how fast they do grow however when they do you will require a large tank at least 55 gallons or more to keep anymore than 3. I was reading somewhere that these are rare but this doesn't...

Freezer Burn I believe is when the product say meat for example gets a white frost apperance to it. Its meant to burn the good stuff out of the product and make it taste horrible. I think mum cooks too much stuff with freezer burn... or her cooking is out right horrid :roll:

Look at the Black Ghost Knife. Just recently got one and I think they would have to be my favourite of all. They are noctornal and what not but their body shape and scaleless body and the way it moves are awersome. If you can picture a feather under water being dragged and the way it moves...

A good website which may help you out here is: http://www.fishprofiles.com/ Most community fish will be fine but just ensure you dont overstock as the tank is rather small but good for a bed room etc. I have around a 17gal tank and it has served its purpose well as a community tank and has...
