Re: codheadjohn's tank log

Hi guys, not been on here in ages. Completely forgot about the site until I was talking to a guy who's cleaning my tank after I've had an accident, and we were discussing fish things. Looks like I haven't posted since I just put fish in. I'll try and get some pictures later. Quick update. Not gone f...

Re: Rams Flashing

I'm not too worried about fighting, it's actually better than I expected and there's loads of places for them to get out the way. Although I find them to be pretty stupid and always wanting to be in the same place at the same time. It's the worry about disease. Not got much experience with diseases ...

Re: Rams Flashing

2 blue, 2 electric blue and 2 gold rams. All look very active and eating well. No fighting or bullying, they get on well except for the odd chase to keep the pecking order in check.

Kept at 27C

Re: Rams Flashing

I noticed the small one flashing Thursday night, that's definitely not been involved in any mating and I doubt it's sexually mature yet. After the water change yesterday, another had an ich spot. There's only ever a couple of spots. Will the fish fight these off without me doing anything? I don't wa...

Re: Rams Flashing

How many rams, what types and size of tank (also water hardness)? I suspect there's been fighting if gill covers are being damaged. The "flashing" sounds like it might be practice spawning. Sorry, I believe the fish arrived with its gill like that, or happened as it was being caught. It w...

Rams Flashing

I bought a group of various Rams about 10 days ago. One came with popeye, I think it must have got injured in the catching, because I didn't see any in the tank with it. This one was replaced by the shop. I had a gold headed electric blue die last night, but I think that was a weak one. It came with...

Re: Green Killing Machine !

Are you wanting it to kill the already established algae? It won't do that. It will help reduce new infestations, but what's already growing on surfaces will grow until you remove it

Re: Aqua One Oak Style aquariums?

@oilman4345 and @Staffylover, I'm curious, what lighting have you both used in your Aqua Oak aquariums? I'm thinking Fluval Aquasky, hopefully the 33w will be sufficient. :] I have the 33w in my 5ft tank, bit bigger than that. I think it's plenty bright enough, although not as bright as my old Rio ...
