I have a bristlenose that is around 5 inches long, and I can never find her. She turns up at feeding time just before lights out.

The bubbles will potentially increase the amount of water that moves past the bogwood, and may contribute to the water going brown faster. It may also be that hte tannins are leaching out of the wood more as the tank water penetrates it further. How long have you had the wood in the tank?

Name: Guppy Species: Guppy Age: No idea - about 12 months in my tank. Date bought: about 12 months ago Date died: This morning - was still kicking last night but very weak.

The staining will not go away, but the meds will not cause long term harm as it is just the colour in them that hangs around.

It will also probably stain the sealant holding the tank together green too - well it did for me anyway.

My fun experience over the weekend with a water change was that I forgot the syphon head I was using had a one way valve in it. When I turned the water flow around on the python to fill the tank, the water pressure popped the hose off the syphon head, the hose came out of the tank and a few...

Perserverence works too - my partner was someone who used to think fish got as big as their tank - but recently, she's been pointing out poor conditions at the pet shops in the area :).

Here's mine - details in sig. I'm in Canberra.

My bristlenose does a lot of aquascaping for me in the tank - she shifts a lot of gravel around after a water change. I would guess it is that. The cories would be contributing too though I think.

Thanks l.michelle for the nomination anyone want to second it LOL She did very well last night with the hordes for dinner. She was a bit wary of the very noisy 1 year old, but was happy to lap up the attention and dole out kisses to anyone who wanted one. We have found out one of her quirks -...

The "cropped" look is just that. I do not support dropping, and here in Oz, I'm pretty sure it is illegal - as is docking without a damn good reason. I defintiley wouldn't condone either - it was a poor choice of words in hindsight. Anywho we just thought she looked cute with her ears up :)...

we have a full size pool too - but whe hs only com in to the first step so far. Our pool area is fenced off normally, but she followed my partner in there this morning and ran straight out on the pool cover (solar pool blanket). A quick heart attack from us and her later, and we dragged her out...

SHE'S HERE!!!! :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: Ears up looking dane like Side on shot in her own pool - she loves this and it is now filthy The two boys who have to get used to their new sister. Cubby (coping OK - shows interest in Maggie, stays at least 1 metre away though): Grover...

My suggestion is would be to do the tanks last. When we moved, i moved everything else first, and the tank went i the last load with the last of the small stuff. It meant we had the rest of the furniture where we wanted it before moving the tank in - it also meant I could strip it down, move...

We had seen her at the shelter a few months ago not longe after she was first returned. She was a chubbier then, and looked more dane like. The picture I have her isn't a good one, the RSPCA has her described as a Great Dane cross - with the second breed as a staffie. I will post some more pics...
