Thanks everyone. I bought from Aliexpress and that took 13 days to Australia. Amazon has its own base in australia, so most things are a couple of days to my rural area. I have just completed an assisted cycle on my 50g (200litre) tank and first restock since I lost half my fish during the...

It all started in February, when we lost half of our fish during the bushfires here due to not having electricity at home for 14 days. We ended moving out to live in our shop, doing water changes when possible, but still no hot water. A month or so after that I bought a few fish from a pet...

Thanks all for your replies, I really apreciate your clarifications. I guess that there must be a distinction between "Silver Dollar Fish" and "Dollar Fish", for the latter are, my (Chinese) wife's fish of choice to be eaten whilst in China, and yes, as an Australian Fisherman, a saltwater...

Thanks so much for your in depth reply EA! Cool, the water flow plan is on the mark. That is my "work in progress" so will continue fitting that out, making it tidy and discreet, until I get to the next step, that is, as you have described, "water parameters!" Will lay off with the "prime"...

Hi All, this is my second tank. It's 1.2m Long x .35m Wide x .5m High. Around 4' Long x 1.1ft wide x 1.6ft High. Aprrox 200 L or 50 Gallon. As it has worked out, I have 2 Cannister filters, which combined (state) that they can service a 200 liter (50G) tank. If you check my pictures, you can...

Thank you for your correspondence, though I must add that there are no winners here.

The Moderation of this forum really needs to be reconsidered. Members like the above mentioned are turning members away.

Betta Bettas, or Much Dutch, I am sure other members do not need to be made made aware of the bullying antics that you prevail with, and how, members like you, really turn new members away from forums, where new comers can come to ask question. This is my third Forum that I have either decided...

Thanks People... "Changes? One week ago, I removed one of the Cannister filters that I had running into this tank, as I wanted it for my new 50g tank." There is still one left. A cannister filter. 10 gallon tank. "I've checked Chems with my API kit twice since then , including today and all...

Some help would be great. Our little Betta is very lathargic. You can see him just "floating" there, with his nose sticking up out of the water. He moves his pectoral fins, on occasion. His other fins hang there, somewhat majestically. He takes a sip of air, every now and then, blows a bubble...

Thanks for your input essjay. (1 Betta, 2 Corydoras, (small) and 7 neon Tetras) I had not thought of that. And yes, stocking is going to be a very slow process, especially considering, living in the country, we are awaiting a trip to Sydney to see what other stocks are available. Having said...
