I use plants and rocks to hide all equipment such as air tubes, heater and filter as best as possible.

Put it this way, if one knows anything about how to keep fish then it's obviously not good for a live goldfish to be "displayed" in this manner. If we are to be entertained with art that directly breeds cruelty towards a living form then perhaps we have run out of "creative" ideas. Art has...

My understanding of UV lighting is that it makes the colours of fish brighter and more amplified.

He called the exhibit, created by Kounellis especially for the show, "creative and intelligent" This statement alone proves the artist has neither creativity nor intelligence in my opinion.

Great.... I've been thinking about those since you mentioned it last week. Can't wait to see the pics.

Will do... thanks for your time.

Unfortunately not.

Yeah, I'm doing that now just in case. It just seemed somewhat odd to me that the condition had disappeared, then reappeared and disappeared again. That's not something I have witnessed before.

I noticed a small white piece of fluff on one of my Harlequins on Monday and decided to keep an eye on him for 24 hours and then treat the tank if there wasn't any change. On Tuesday the fluff had disappeared so I thought nothing more about it. However, yesterday afternoon (Thursday) the fluff...

After waiting for my LFS to get a good specimen and having observed him at the shop for a month, I brought home a beautiful baby (2") RTBS a few months ago and added him to the tank where he was very happy for several weeks. However, I was devastated to find he had jumped out through the single...

There are plenty of catch and release "sport" fisherman in the US... just as there are fishermen in England who cook their Saturday morning catch for dinner. Oh, and I live in the US and love it here... but I'm not American! :rolleyes:

Yup... go!

No, but will be getting some soon as I think they look great too and aren't aggressive like tigers.

It's normal and should start to disappear within days. After that it'll be crystal clear.

Sounds like you have a bacteria bloom which is normal for a new tank at this stage in the cycling process.

That's true, but well worth trying because it looks fantastic underwater... especially when it's very dark slate. Pieces of coal, properly washed of course, also look really striking.

Wow... I never expected such a debate. Individual perspectives like these make for good reading. Oh, and just to clarify, I fish privately for fun on a friends boat. We sometimes catch loads of fish but only bring back a couple for the BBQ.... the rest we put back. :D

112lb Marlin two weeks ago.... oh, and a 68lb Threasher... no room in my freezer for peas now!

I had a similar problem with a Zebra Danio a while back but that was down to a disease that made him weak and therefore unable to get away from the filter tube. Was your fish healthy?

I too took on my first tank recently after years of wanting. When I was an infant my parents had a "lfs" for several years and after that my Dad kept the odd tank or two here and there, so I've been around the hobby all my life. However, when I finally took the plunge and got my own tank last...

My cats think that this is their house and they let us live here.... we're their pets!

45 pound muskie - nice

John Aura Ray Albert Julez D, Dan, Danny, Daniel LoFiZebraDee How's that to start with?

Wow!.... are you ok Muzzdog? :look:

I would agree that owning pets and eating the meat from your pets is hypocritical! ;)

Me neither

I returned from a deep sea fishing trip off the S. California coast at the weekend with my prize catch, 29lb Albacore filleted and ready for the BBQ. As I walked in to the house I passed my fish tank and said hello to my fish..... and then it dawned on me. Is it odd to have one hobby where I...

I've never seen those either, but I would buy half a dozen right now!

I've been a fishkeeper for less than a year, but it really bugs me when people say "I've just come back from the LFS, can you ID this fish please" or "give me more details on these fish!". If you were truly interested in a happy, healthy tank, and not just something that looks like colourful...

20% once a week.

Take a piece of wire and make a hook at one end with some pliers.

Good point. I don't see a problem with the list of fish either and think the combination will look great. How are you going to dress the tank.... plants, rocks, gravel/sand etc?

Harlequins would be great. Not only will they live in peace with the gouramis, but they are a good looking fish that will complement a "gourami" tank.

6 tetras would be ok

What to put in it? Anything you want! ;)

Accidentally washed my mobile last week..... forgot it was in my jeans pocket! Before I put my jeans in the dryer the phone fell on the floor with water coming out of it from all over. I took the battery off, took out the sim card and let it sit in the sun for half a day and now.... not only...

It is sad that the majority of department stores keep and sell fish in such appalling conditions with the employees seeming to have very little knowledge about the subject. There was a thread here about this topic a few months ago and many people talked about the poor conditions at various...

" I had never heard that before.." - me neither!

I bury 'em.... and have a moment of silence :byebye:
