This is the Ambulia that I recently got. Looks like the same as yours to me. I live in Gibraltar, Europe and got this from Spain, which is next door to me really. There Cambomba has also been outlawed.

Mine also smells of sulphur, no black spots though. Maybe yours is to ward off Vampire fish? ;)

Ok, I now have peace of mind. Thanks all!

Ah, good. Tube did not arrive sealed or anything, that's why I was unsure. Thanks. I would say mine is less than half full though, but might be due to compaction of the stuff. Will check again when I get home.

Hi all. I recently bought some Kanaplex to have up my sleeve just in case I needed it (let's hope not). Anyway when I received the product (5g) the tube was not full of powder. In fact it was less than half full. Since I have never bought Kanaplex before I was just wondering whether this was normal.

Maybe he should get a part in The Walking Dead!

I also have a black Molly whose fin tips are changing colour-to a greenish hue!

Great, thanks! Will do.

Does that mean I should be checking for nitrates straight away, or wait until ammonia drops to zero, or?...

I have been trying to cycle the tank for some time now, and realised it was probably down to keeping the ammonia levels low. I started looking around for some seeding material to speed things up.

Thanks. Yes, I am using the API master test kit. I have ammonia readings and doing PWC every other day. Hopefully I'll get nitrites soon now that I have seeded the tank-woohoo! (although I know nitrites are bad too but at least I know the cycle is progressing)

Anyone with any pointers?

Hi all. I have a 10G tank with two mollies and two guppies which is currently cycling (I learnt too late the art of fishless cycling-doh!). To speed things along, I have managed to obtain some floss from an established tank. The problem is (if I can call it that) is that I have been given more...

Not sure about IN the water, but they love moist places, so would make sense they can at least spend just a bit of time underwater. I am no expert on mayflys (or is it mayflies lol) but I thought they didn't have antennae whilst larvae.

Def looks like a silverfish to me

I think it's a question of the temp not going high enough in the 20G, so transferring the fish to the smaller 10G where the required temperature might be more easily achieved, is the intention.
