Today I have been forced to throw away my ick medicine just because I bought it without my parents consent. lol

honmol · 01-15-2006, 10:24 AM

Why would you throw away medication because your parents didn't ok it? What happens if your fish get ich? Do you just buy another ich medication with their consent because that seems like a waste of money to me.

micstarz · 01-16-2006, 04:22 AM

haha agreed. My dad would get really angry and start wasting the fish in my tanks (by chucking them down the toilet bowl) if I did nt comply.
You are probably saying ohmygodsweetjesusinheaven by now, lol.

micstarz · 01-17-2006, 03:32 AM

Today I went on a STUPID STUPID geog 'field trip' to the place were I got those gambusia (Bride's Pool) and managed to get a few pics. Because of the work we were doing, I did not bring anything home but played with a few cherry shrimp cradled in my hand.
Below are the pics, please enjoy!

Mira Waterfall, a darter and cherry shrimp haven. (In the pool below)

Ghost shrimp and gambusia found in there.

I think I saw a sunfish in there once

Endlers and gambusia... so much fry that the whole fish population there could not clean em up in a decade!

OMG the snails are eating everything! The shrimp are covering the stones! lol JK

micstarz · 01-17-2006, 08:04 PM

ughh... forgot to add two things in yesterdays post.

1) A friend of mine destroyed what seemed to be a paradise fish bubblenest

2) I fell into Mira falls and now have a pretty darn fever. (102 F)

I can now be my endler fry 5 gal temporary heater!

micstarz · 01-19-2006, 04:34 AM

Today I changed my 10gal layout.... pics soon.

'My' angelfish tank at school (which I dont think I have mentioned in this thread before) is getting pretty boring.. any suggestions of what I could add to that tank? A gourami? Its a 40gal the school owns with 3 marbled angels but I am supposed to be their aquatic biologist apparently. (I did not go and beg the school for this job, they asked me because they noticed I kept on borrowing books from their "fishes' section in the library....)

So. any suggestions?

Please feel free to post in my Journal!

honmol · 01-21-2006, 09:47 AM

micstarz · 01-21-2006, 07:37 PM

thankz!

micstarz · 01-26-2006, 12:46 AM

Well today I added a fine specimen of Ctenogobius duospilus and it is doing well. Surprised the darter hasnt been bothered about him....

micstarz · 01-27-2006, 02:22 AM

Like the darter, the goby only accepts live worms.

micstarz · 02-01-2006, 04:00 AM

Well its been a while since I was last on FF, too caught up with CNY celebrations.

I was lucky and was rewarded with another hiking trip. I caught a few juvenile specimens of Parazacco spilurus (not sure about common name) and a whole school of Nicholsicypris normalis which are quite new to me.This trip, I also discovered a sucker-bellied tadpole (?) and an introduced goldfish which is going to a new home.

I saw some Liniparhomaloptera disparis (lol im copying alot of scientific names from my handbook lately) and a Myer's stream loach.

I think if you look back on my previous entries, I noted finding minnow fry. They are actually Parazacco spilurus offspring.

Not much to state about my tanks.....

so thanks for browsing through my journal once again

micstarz · 02-02-2006, 02:08 AM

My endler just gave birth. I will be feeding the fry colour enchancing flakes and lots of variation hopefully to culture better quality colours.

micstarz · 02-08-2006, 06:25 AM

The fry have doubled in length.....

And suddenly the tank is a craze to keep on track!

Ammonia is 1!
Water chemistry changed from soft to neutral in two days!

WTH is happening?

the water is yellow. I suspect it is snail and crab discardings more than the fish.

Is the water chemistry change because i added a med that killed my snails and crabs and so consequntly the dissolvinh shells added to the pH?

I will do a 93% water change this instant....

micstarz · 02-12-2006, 04:13 AM

changed everything except for wood and fish. All the plants and gravel, filter and heater found themselves thrown violently in the trash. I put the fish into my female betta tank for now.

micstarz · 02-17-2006, 06:32 AM

In my room tank, I addedan angelfish and three flying foxes. The summary now:

3 flying foxes
1 Parazacco spilurus
1 Ctenogobius duospilus
A few small crabs
1 Angelfish
3 Gambusia holbrooki
1 Asian endler
1 Singapore Wood Shrimp
Uncountable MTSs
My hand, which is always in there

In my sister's new 10gal,
10 neons
4 Endler fry.

In my living room tank,
One Trichogaster trichopterus
3 swordtails, one male two female
A school of blind cave tetras with eyes
4 Synodontis Nigriventris

micstarz · 02-18-2006, 09:07 PM

today i added a dwarf puffer to my living room tank.

fishboy · 02-18-2006, 11:35 PM

DPs are violent, males more then females, good luck

micstarz · 02-18-2006, 11:44 PM

oh well then.. right now its still dazed by the fighting flying foxes but if it ever demontrates its talent for violence well i think i'll make it a brackish tank and remove the other fish then....

thanks

micstarz · 02-21-2006, 04:38 AM

Well my gambusia just gave birth to around 30 loose fry, it was a very stressfull night for her, the puffer whas just banging the breeder box.

The fry are real qute and im thinking crossing them with platies or even swords?

Fishboy93 · 02-22-2006, 05:16 PM

Errmmmm..... i dont think that its possible to cross gambusia with swords or platies.. you can do platys and swords though.. or guppies and gambusia..
