I wasn't aware that the tank was full of filth and gunk.

X-Rated Amy - has a ring to it.

I played an online game called Netropolis where you set up companies. So I made Munro co. (My name is Neil Munro) and have used it on and off ever since.

Love that wood. It's just spectacular.

It will be quite hard to add another ram, male or female to the tank now that he has claimed it. A female might work but it seems he is unlikely to tolerate another male. If you do go for a female, then I'd suggest taking the male out, rearranging the tank completely and putting male and female...

I would stick to your 20-30% regime. Your white cloud died from old age, no amount of water changes would have reversed that process. The amount and frequency of water changes being advised seems way over the top to me.

Best method is the one suggested, put it in a paper towel and whack it with a hammer. It's over in a second. While it may not be something you enjoy doing (nobody does) it's the best thing for the fish which is the most important thing.

4 years is a pretty decent age for a white cloud. I think it's just his time. He is just basically wasting away.

It's more likely to be the opposite. I don't think many corries lay eggs on the substrate, On the glass or on plants is more common.

The remains of Corydora eggs I'd say

Has this friend ever kept tropical fish?

"The bowlers Holding the batsmans' Willey".

Juicebox is right. I should have worded that reply better.

It's just a personal opinion but I think Java moss looks a lot better cropped short. It will get very straggly if you let it grow out. You can trim it and use the trimmings in another place.

Yeah, Willbacon has it spot on. Ignore anything this guy tells you about fish.

Looks great, I'd keep the java moss trimmed a lot shorter. It will look better IMO and spread quicker.

I don't, I just use the cheapest I can find. (which won't be seachem I'm sure.)

I only notice a smell when I take the lid off to feed fish. But yeah, definitely have cultures at different stages to keep them going.

Easy to keep, and all you would have to do would be to split your original portion into 2 parts. I use oatmeal mixed with a little water so its slightly damp, then sprinkle with brewers yeast.

For most plants, tabs that you stick in the substrate will be at least as good.

Could be a lot of things, it doesn't look very healthy. I'll have a guess at heteranthera zosterifolia (Stargrass). Or maybe a pygmy chain sword and the runner from the mother plant is whats stuck in the substrate.

That treatment sounds ideal. I don't want to dose the whole tank, and certainly not with something like methylene blue.

This is the best I've got so far. He has another (smaller) patch on his other side near the tai l.

I noticed on of my cories has a couple of patches of fungus. Looking for recomendations for treatments for him. I have some methylene blue which I can use for a bath if necessary but I'm wondering if anyone has had success with other meds.

Well done, a great natural looking tank.

This is my pond, it's not at it best this time of year, it will look better in the summer. The black blob in the 2nd pic is a mass of tadpoles. There are also some in the two tubs. The first tub is where my white clouds will be spending the summer months, another 3-4 weeks I think till its...

It's pouring rain atm which is why I'm inside typing :) I'll try to get some later.

A friend just brought me a load of tadpoles from a pond on the golf course. I've now got a couple of hundred of them in my pond and a few in some planted tubs I have. I hope when (if) they turn into frogs they will think of my pond as home and not try to make their way back to the golf course...

These are great, can you keep them all in the same tank? They won't eat each other?

Wasn't there a post recently from someone who had caught some of these in a stream near his house?

In that case the parents will possibly look after them, if not and you want the fry, next time they lay eggs take the rock out and put it in a small tank to hatch them. You will need an airstone to keep water moving gently over the eggs to help keep them free of fungus.

I asked because these look like cichlid eggs to me and not eggs laid by egg scatterers. There is a lot of differences in hatching out the eggs.

Are we talking about rainbow cichlids? There are a few fish called rainbows.
