That explains why my fan was off too!

One of the worst nightmares happened last night! We seem to have had a power outage at some point. I don't know how long it lasted as most things were back on again, apart from those items on an RCD which tripped and needed restarting this morning. I'm so relieved it didn't last. I have one...

Where did you get your larvae from?

I bought a bottle to soak something that had been peed on by the dog. It took the smell away completely. Wonderful stuff.

They had liquifry as real youngsters as I hadn't time to get infusoria ready, but they are 3 weeks old now and ready for the hard stuff! I'm continuing the liquifry for the littler ones to catch up.

I hope he gets the hang of it soon. He doesn't sound quite right, does he? Is your tank a bit rowdy? Is that what he must get used to?

https://www.fishforums.net/threads/what-to-do-if-your-fish-gets-sick.450268/ At the end of this there is a description of how to do it.

You could try using salt for a couple of weeks, see if it heals up?

I have learnt something today!

It's the bit of wood going around the room at the bottom of the wall in your house. It's the bit that gathers lots of dust and is a pain to decorate because you have to lie on the floor.

Ok. :)

Freshwater. They're gouramis.

I want one to save me sanding my skirting boards....

If a colour doesn't match on a kit I look for traces of the next colour down or up and guesstimate it as a value between the two. E.g. in the first picture the yellow doesn't match does it, but there is no trace of the green, so I would take that as zero. As for which is a better kit; I have...

Thank you!

I've made a hatchery in about 5 pints of water - to submerge the heater. When they hatch tomorrow can I pipette them straight from the hatchery to the fry tank? Will they survive in it at all and swim around a bit?

She's a lucky girl!

Good news he's eating again! :)

He was being awful to her; wouldn't let her eat or even breathe. Thank god for the tank divider.

Was he eating ok before that?

How long has he been refusing food?

Hello 👋

Hello 👋

The third one is a toy! (It might be a toy of a real moth though).

Btw after 2 weeks with salt wash it out gradually with small water changes of about 25% non-salty water each week. That way the transition back is gradual.

"I'd give both Microbe-Lift Special Blend and Nite-Out II a go" Sounds like you've been drinking @Bruce Leyland-Jones !

Hahaha, I wasn't going to mention childbirth! :lol:

Salt solution and baths are also used for healing in people. It is really useful stuff.

Hello. I'm not sure if you are asking me. I have no idea what API melafix is so can't comment on it. And I can't help regarding the ammonium chloride I'm afraid. Sorry.!

I'd say yes. I've got some as it doesn't go off or need much space to store.

Just float it. As you said, the floating plants didn't melt. Those that do have been originally growing in air and need to grow water based leaves while shedding the old ones. The sponge from the filter should only be squeezed out a few times in the old tank water from your water change. Don't...

I've had honey gourami aggression problems, male on female. I've solved it by buying a tank divider and giving them half the tank each. But mine allows water through it and aggression pheromones can pass through. Perhaps if you could get or make a solid one and put up two filters and heaters you...

Do you have any snails?

So, they can overrun the tank but aren't doing any harm in the process?

Hello 👋 and welcome

Not bleach? Will the vinegar kill off any nasties?

Could you draw one and upload a pic of that?

My daughter has a moth phobia. They all choose to fly at her face so it's not surprising. Good luck with all your setups.

Yes. It was meant to be the QT or hospital tank. I'm not sure. At least 5. They appeared day 2 of my owning fish so had to go in an uncycled tank with Salvinia. There weren't very many to start, but only 5 or so have survived :( Their siblings since have all gone in the community tank so I...

I'm really proud of my babies!
