Robert.pope i keep telling you your loach is better in my tank!!! PS he looks lovely!!!
Thanks ROB C ive entered my tank in PFK website, hey it might even get printed! (I wish!)
Been about working all over the country but back in sunny devon now with a few weeks rest before i start new project.. no rest for the wicked i think!!!
Ive got a theory i wanted to pass round though. Ive been away from my tank for just under a year and i know the faint harted ones, should really stop reading now!!!!
But in that year ive done maybe four mayor water changes, i have two very powerfull externals running (Which ive cleaned twice in a year), two O2 inlet pipes and feed them on a garlic food, for which the name has escaped me.
I havent had a single problem with anything in my tank (TOUCH WOOD!!!)Has anyone had a smilar experience? I know by the book it says 25% every two weeks for a tank stocked such as mine, i mean i have 17 clowns, 3 blue loaches, 2 chains, 1 YO YO, three convicts, plec and six giant danio's. So that is a fair amount of fish in my Trigon 190. But the water conditions are spot on, fish have showed no illness, sluggishness (is that a word?) or anything. Is it 5 years of experience or *** just LUCK???

I don't perform water changed as much as I 'should', yet my fish are healthy and even breeding. |

I know that is really odd i think. I think the more u leave ur fish to it the better, i mean it must be stressfull for them to have something messing the tank around every two weeks!!! |

|
i found that when i missed a couple of water changes both pairs of rainbow cichlids bred??? |
17-07-2007 16:00 by clownloachlady
|
my convicts aswell, they never stop breeding, which gives my clowns some great enjoyment as they eat the fry!
YES YES CRUEL I KNOW!
Face it, would you be spawning if some huge hands and a waterslide happens every two weeks??? |

clowns are good indicators of bad water conditions anyway....theyll change colour when their stressed or unhappy with something or other so im sure that would help you....at the minute i do 30% every other day on my main malawi tank ( only because it is overstocked) and 25 every two weeks on my others |
17-07-2007 17:50 by clownloachlady
|
Woz if ur right and looking at the colour on my clowns, who we know are sensitive they are all ok!
30% every other day, that will kill my back and waterbill!!! |

haha...long story really, basically i got a lot large fish free which were going in my tank but after a day there where three sets of fry which were pat out so my tank is for the lil guys and all the big ones are in a tank on their own... |
