I thought it was stunned too. I tried lots of things to revive him. I did try using a similar method you mentioned, lastly I tried running cold water over it. It works for us and I remember a chicken of mine was stunned and I woke it up with cold water so I thougth I would try. :) I'm not to...

Well don't open the lid when it is!

Yeah it has been jumpy before but I always run away so that it doesn't do itself any harm and calms down. I guess this time it really took me by surprise and I couldn't get away quick enough and calm it down.

I went down to sit and watch my fish I must have startled the Bala shark because it just started jumping and crashing itself into the glass. When it finally stopped it was swimming upside down. I quickly took the lid off to see if it was ok and it jumped out! It went behind the tank crashing...

55G There are plenty of places to hide but I worked on the tank today and set up a large narrow cave for them to hide under. The Barbs have not gone in there at all, neither have the Cory's :?

I've had a real problem over the week keeping these two species together. At first I thought it was the Clown Loaches doing the damage but studied for about 1 hr today and noticed the Barbs harassing the Cory's. I bought 5 Cory's about 4 weeks ago and all seemed fine. 2 weeks after that I bought...

The lumps are black. The one near it's tail sticks out a lot too.

Went to the LFS and they said Tri Sulfa tablets should do the trick. Hopefully it all clears up. How long would it take to expect some results? Pics are a bit hazy but it's the best I could get.

I've had this fish for quite a long time now probably around 5 - 6 months. When I first got it I noticed this black mark on it's side. I didn't think that much of at first but over time if got bigger and took up nearly the entire side of it's body! The fish doesn't look under any stress at all...

Very difficult task because they shoot off pretty quickly. I have managed to get a lot of tail fin shots. ;) I'll plant a large piece of food at the bottom like the photos above and get a decent picture.

An old towel. A must IMO. Eye dropper or syringe for the test kits. Check valves for air pump/s A couple of little things that are quite handy to have.

Nah, they pretty much stay in a hollow "rock" formation. Soon as I go to feed them they rush out and hover around the middle and rush to the top when the food hits. The older one is about 12 - 13 cm long while the younger one is about 7 - 8 cm long. I'll try and lure them out and get a pic of...

The biggest one I've had for around 4 -5 years. The smaller one probably 3.

I'm not all that concerned about this but my Loaches never stay at the bottom of the tank. Feeding time they are the first to the surface to get food. Enough food should be hitting the bottom of the tank so they are not starving. I've recently bought floating pellets for my Bala, now the loaches...

Like what? Right now there are plastic hollow balls in the bottom of the filter, level 2 has the ceramic rings and level 1 has the sponge.

Yeah, didn't think it could I just thought I'd ask in case it could. I finalised the setup today and it fit in nicely between the wall and the tank. Would have prefered it fit underneath but it's still good. Had it been any bigger I wouldn't know what to do with it! Thanks for the info. What...

I ended up buying a Aqua One Canister Filter CF1000. Seems to be running great so far! The instructions supplied were very brief and has very little information on there :( Just a quick couple of questions. It is my first CF so please forgive me if my questions seems pretty simple. First off...

LOL I just finished doing a PWC and noticed quite a few dog hairs in the tank. He is inside a lot now because of the weather, it is so cold! Always seem to find a few when I clean the filter as well. Anyway, I'm glad there not a concern. Although I wouldn't go bathing your dog or cat in the...

I ended up buying that one and it should be here in a couple of days. Accessories for Aqua One are available at the pet shops around here also so that helped in making my decision. I hope it's a good one :)

I have been looking around and haven't been able to find that brand anywhere. I'll keep looking though I have my eye on a Fluval 205 it is a failry decent price and I'll be paying very little postage costs for it. Any info on that?

Leaning towards a Cannister filter. I'll look into those ones you suggested. ;)

I'm looking to upgrade my filter. Right now I have a Fluval 4 (Internal) and I'm not really happy with it. I have a 4ft tank which I think is approx 55 Gallons I'll be getting a newie this week, I'm just after some suggestions.

Just got my kit back and the nitrate level was fairly high. PH 7.2 - 7.4 High PH 7.4 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 80 :?

No salts are in the tank. Unless aquarium conditioner has salt in it? I don't have my tester kit here right now, my friend has it but last time I checked (Friday Night) everything seemed normal.

I'm thinking the Tetra's as well. The Bala is fine. I thought the same thing when I uploaded the pic but his eyes are clear. Must have been the flash.
