i don think anyone wants to argue just that this subject always tends to touch a nerve, i dont think anybody here would put there fish down if it could be avoided. And if it couldnt its still alot easier to say than do after all were all fish lovers here

Hi there welcome have fun Whacky

Happy Birthday Maggie I got a load of gift vouchers for my birthday so i sold them to the wife bought fishy stuff and the wife bough the films i wanted with the gift vouchers i was a winner all round :lol: :lol: :lol:

And if you can share the load between two heaters this is even better as if one fails the effect on the tank is slower ;)

I am with mac and the wuss mod :P A ice bath is not the nice humane method of euthanasia people think it is slowly freezing to death is stressful if you dont believe its true go sit in a butchers deep freeze and see how quick you get stressed. The best available method available to most...

Welcome to the place we call the asylum i mean home :lol: :lol: whacky

The bucket may be of if its food grade plastic im not sure if bukets are?? I said it once and i will say it again melafix would work wonders i have seen it bring fish back from the brink of death. an internal problem doesnt sound likely to me as all the signs you have desribed seem to be...

creamcheeseandlox felt annoyed that when he aske about a disagreement that happened over the last few days his posts were deleted, and he didnt get an answer as to why he has had posts deleted that as far as he was aware there was nothing wrong with them. its a shame that both he felt he has...

Try clothahumps web site says its all things cory Clothahumps site

hi there GL, the prices are a lot higher than they need be. But you can get stuff cheaper than those prices the cheapest way to get stuff in the uk is mail order, That LFS in particular is a bit fancy in my opinion and i think there prices reflect that, they claim there over heads are high and...

Assuming i manage to post it right below is a link to one of my lfs site, it gives you a list of equipment and prices. It can be done cheaper than that as i find some items a bit expensive from them but it gives you a very rough idea Rough guide to prices Dont let that scare you off theres...

I was going to suggest that but im pretty sure hex tanks generally come with ugf so its not really possible could put the old substrate in to the new tank though

People are gonna think im on commision soon but as www said melafix is very good it will help healing and reduce the chance of infection, as will doing regular water changes to keep the water in top condition, As i said elswhere if your going to use any maedication and have carbon in your...

Dragon was the man who posted the link to the site he also posted something to do if you get an error when trying to use it

I moved this topic as its likley to get more response here. I would be tempted to use some water from you hex initialy aswell as this will speed the cycling process up perhaps soak the sponges from the jewel fiter in the old tank water from the hex aswell..

I dont know much about rope fish, but it may help to move the decor around so they have to re establish there territorys

Your fish might not show any interest to start with like most new foods it might take them a while to touch it leave it until the mornig and see how it goes

:P thats some tank, the wife said i could turn a room of our hose into a fishtank once we get our own house oh yeah and we have to win the lottery first :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have never used the stuff you talk about, but i do use a product called melafix which a lot of people use and i would suggest you get that in future, As for the product you have, If you follow the instructions on the bottle you shouldnt go to wrong, A few general points for medication...

Some one else to talk to way hay,

just been reading this i had something to say but all i can think about is donuts hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm donuts :P :D Juwel tanks are great for planted tanks thats the market there aimed at. The reason people say to add extra filtration is because they have a lower turnover rate to allow for the...

The first and most important piece of advice i can give is to research the subject read lots and ask lots of questions. Secondly plan the system before buying it as my knowledge has got more i have learnt alot and am going to incorparate it into my next tank. The next is to decide what type...

In the absence of GL i will tell you a bit but im doing a water change at the minute so i will try and help when im done can you tell us the sort of thing youd like to know

Hello and welcome to the madhouse as it is effectionately known Agree with mac eheims get a lot of good reveiws so there a safe choice, Again with the heaters two are better than one, i think mac means you need approx 150w worth of heater rather than tw0 150w heaters so two 75 or 100w...

Hi and welcome to the Mad(fish)house, Have fun im sure you will like it here whacky

Hey Andi Where abouts in Norfolk are you? Im also in norfolk, i came here with my job what made you move here? :unsure:

Hi there, im sure you will get loads of advice when the time comes can i just say though if you can get a tank from the rio range you get a bigger tank for you money Dont be shy though come to the general section and have a chat

Im not a big fan of people being sold angels as a first fish they should be one of the last additions after the tank has been running for a few months, Also the guy told you that the fish he sold you were compatible, Angels eat neons in the wild so yet again some poor advice given. As for...

I think when you get experienced with your tanks you know what they need and the whole water change argument explodes everyone does it different they all do what works best for them.

sounds like your gonna take him to a fancy resturaunt :lol: :lol: very nice fish plecs are great
