sorry for my lack of description Ok so the globes i am using are the normal spherical in shape 60watt. They produce a yellow light.But yesterday night i changed them to cool daylight bulbs, energy efficient light globles. Click here for the image --...

Firstly thanks for replying The tank size is 54 liters (30x60x30). My filter is vitaPET (internal power filter, with activated carbon). Light around 3 1/2 hours of bright light (2x 60watt globes) The remainder of the day, there is just the normal cloudy weather of Melbourne. The tank is near a...

Hi all ladies and gents.. I have never noticed this problem before but algae is growing on my plants. Some algae is brown and on other plants the algae is a light green-blue tinge. I have one flying fox and hes eats the algae but the blue algae i'm seeing is not growing off the plant, its...

Well they're Cichlids so they will look after their own young. You said you saw a heap of litle fish swimming, where were they, if they were near the parents then they're looking after them. But separating them is a good option too.

im not sure about you guys but i have never changed my activated carbon before. All i do is add (easy off bam) like a bleach spray and all the dirt is extracted from the Carbon. Washing it in hot water is also very good.

that pic above me was excillent. i Love it!!!!!

Fungi can be killed by adding the wood to 3 parts boling water 1 part of salt. Although the salt will have to be removed. Thanks fifefish, i fogot, tree sap is best avoided as this will increase the ph greatly.

no natural wood that you've collected is absolutely fine. But however wood, when in water will leak a product called tannins, which will not effect your fish. However you'll need to soak it in boiling water water for a day or two to remove the bulk of the tannins as if you put it directly in the...

Well, as the topic name says, Show us what your Aquarium looks like. As we all have an Aquarium, now is the time to unleash your Aquarium to Tropical Fish Forms. (sorry i cannot show a picture of my aquriam as my wood is still soaking, but dont worry ill have it ready in a few day. So don't let...

well if you dont want the water to be very dark, try cotton, it absorbs the tannis

ok ill do that and , thanks, Colin T, this information has helped me a lot, thanks for assisting me, as you answered all of my questions.

This task has been psychologically proven. The experiment has been done 4 times where i live (in Melbourne) Although they are "cichlids and will eat live foods if they can" can thy can be trained not to. Putting them separately and re-introducing them later will change that immediate behavior...

no i mean if the switched male dosnt make the female pregnant. i wouldnt give them back if they sucessfully mated.

To make your angels get along with guppies when they've reached full size: Put the angelfish in a separate tank for 6 months by themselves. They will loose their behavior to eat small fish , nip or chase fish. After 6 months put them back in the tank. You will notice they will have a tendency...

well the easiest way to stop angel fish from fin nipping is to keep both angelfish in a different tank separately for 6 month. Psychologically, their behavior will change and will soon quarrel amongst themselves, not bothering other fish. By putting them in a different tank you are changing...

ok thanks, ill try de-worming the tank nad see what happens. If they dont give fry in a couple of months shoud i also get another female whilst swapping the male too?

Here are some pictures and im really not sure if his gonopodium is too big [attachment=55 888:SANY0080.JPG]

im dont think its intestinal worms because i've never seen the mal successfully mate with her. She always allows herself to become available but the male just dosnt do it properly. But thanks, anyway i will try that worm medication in addition. Thanks

I had the baby mollies separately in a net breeder, in a separate tank. I only did the wawter changes every two weeks, so i think your right, the ammonia did kill them. With regards to the adult mollies, none of them have caught a disease. The females has not been pregant for two months now, and...
