WHY, because i tell you to buy ah cage and 2 budgies? I should of really listen to the few people who PM and also called me and told me dont give you any advise........ i told them nah, i willing to help anybody on the forum with some advise.................
GUESS I WAS REALLY AN ARSE............... SAY WHAT, THE THREAD GOING NICE SO I DONT WANT TO SPAM IT UP ALREADY.......................... YOU JUST SKUNTIN IT UP ........LATER

[UML]

good advice nevertheless

[UML]

so does having a reef tank help preserve coral and fish species or destroy them?

[bigga514]

destroy... unless you have the expertise and TIME to regrow coral...
as for fishes im all for captive breeding programs to keep natural stock free... it have a few species of f/w fish I know that are threatened or over cultivated in wild/no longer exported from region... but abundant in fish trade...

[sharkman121]

as much as id like to disagree with bigga, he right. Even the methods used to catch these fish like explosions and cyanide etc to a lot of irreversible damage to the ecosystem.

i bought myself a RO/DI unit

[FD3S]

Fellers, I have a 75 gallon tank with 9 goldfish;7 orandas and 2 black moors. Problem is ever so often 3 males get the urge to breed and literally mash up either of my 2 of my females. They are very aggressive and the females are very stressed after 1 day of courtship. They end up with thorn fins and missing scales. I have to separate them.
What should i do?

is that US gallons or British? id start by figuring out if they are cramped how big are they?
i know orandas can get up to 1ft long... maybe try setting up a breeding tank with just one pair (take away the competition safe way to lessen aggression)... need more info (any decor/ foilage substrate etc)

Tank is 75 US gallons. It is set up barebottom with 2 large artificial plants.The biggest fish is about 5 inches head to tail. Water quality is prestine according to API liquid test kit. I do large water changes once a week.
On the few occasions the breeding behaviour occurred , the females never seem to drop their eggs. Their belly remains plump.
I have a small tank about 15-20 gallon which I guess i could use as a breeding tank.

nice, how yr water pressure looking?

Do you have a TDS meter?

[UML]

i have a house water pump and i got a booster pump with the rodi unit.

yea got a dual in-line TDS monitor

didnt know the water i was drinking was sooo dirty

one question about the TDS monitor though....it started out giving me 0ppm and this morning i see it saying 2ppm...will check it again tomorrow and see if it goes back to 0ppm

[Yodins]

guys, I need help. for the past few days one of my goldfish turnin upside down an doin like if he go dead. my uncle says its because of overfeeding. plus, right about when the upside down thing started, he got stuck (upside down) in a piece of driftwood that was in the tank. what allyuh think is the cause of this and do you think he'll make it?

[bigga514]

Yuh do a water change yet? Start dey 50% of the water volume... If the drift wood new take it out soak it in a bucket and change that water every few days fuh a month....

You never mention if/what filter yuh using.... Size of tank amt of fish all that could be part d equation of what happening...

[ramafingers1]

I am a newbie to this also, i only in this saltwater hobby thing about 3-4 mths. All i have is a small tank with 3 nemo fish and some small green fish (cant remember the name of them) Bought them by Raj in st agustine. Had some more of the green fish, but they got sucked up in the power filter. Wife already saying i wasting money and i can spend it on things that easy to keep like plants.....lol.
