I know it may sound dumb but ……………. you do have the taps open

@pride there is more in the water than what we test for and that is what will irritate them I think also the pH buffing will have minimal difference as Sydney water is approx 7.2 but soft and you are buffing to tank parameters, some are more sensitive than others

@pride usually they do this if they have some sort of irritation and is like having a scratch water chemistry after a WC seems to be a popular time for them to do it also

Seeing as we have missed the revised distancing rules by a few days committee has decided to cancel December meeting and look to holding meetings from February 2021 Enjoy the festive season and stay safe people If you need to buy fish food Ray will be in the school car park with stock available from 7pm to 8pm Saturday 5/12/2020 Nuwarra Public School

Well that could be a problem I'm guessing it could be secondary bacterial but unless you can figure that out you can recommend a treatment metronidazole is used to treat hole in the head and may work

@aymenz I would suggest bagging him up and take a trip to Labyrinth Andrew could take a scaping on se what comes up under the microscope that way you would have abetter idea of what is going on and how to treat it just give Andrew a call 8068 4853 to work out a day

@Net welcome to ACE can you add a location to your profile please regarding your Convicts where is the swelling and is the fish male or female ?

Just a reminder if you need your cichlid meeting fix with Sydney being cancelled until further notice and don't mind a drive to Wollongong Saturday 14/11/2020 6.30pm start Koonawarra Primary School Cnr Fowler & Byamee Sts Dapto See on Facebook for details - there is a limit of 50 people in the hall and I'm told this fills fast A talk on filtration by Alan Tracey Raffle - trade table and an AUCTION

@expat701 hi and welcome back what part of Sydney are you in ? Western Sydney Aquariums do nice tanks and are reasonably priced based at Penrith but like most businesses travel to do install work

@Beaz seems to be working well and you have brought a good thought up also with the food flavouring the crickets BTW I think it might be Mrs Polleni

Hi All I know everyone is hanging to get to a meeting but once again the committee has decided to cancel the meeting due to the ongoing restrictions we have on use not only with distancing but the school itself The way things are going I'm wondering if Santa will even make it this year stay tuned for monthly updates Illawarra will still be holding their meeting on 14/11/20 as far as I know at Koonawarra Primary School See on Facebook for details - there is a limit of 50 people in the hall and I'm told this fills fast

@crawf you could try Andrew at Labyrinth Aquarium in Sydney 02 8068 4853 he got them in when the last fry came up for sale in Melb but that was a while ago don't know if he kept any back they pop up in Gumtree sometimes or in some of the online groups

@MattG_Sydney what else do you have in there

once again I get to advise you that the monthly meeting has been cancelled due to the risks not being acceptable yet so NO October meeting when we should have had a major auction but before we can think of these again we need to have a meeting to hold the AGM, but I don't think we will get to hold the fish raffle with it like usual we are all hanging to get to some normality in our monthly routine again for the first Saturday of the month but until things change with restriction it has been deemed not viable for health and safety of members and guests plus the economic factor if there is a positive case Hang in there guys it will change but we just don't know when

Never used the brand but doing a quick google search I came up with this states does not contain sex hormones claims it can bring a fish to full colour in 14 days nothing outstanding in ingredients list but nothing to tell you what premix or attractans are usually can tell quality of the food by the first 4 ingredients and this leaves me wondering if it is floor sweepings from a cereal factory bottom line you get what you pay for but @ $29.00 for 150g I would want a better menu list Absolute Color Enhancer Food 150g Absolute colour fish food is ideal for enhancing fish to their full colours.
