 Hi charles Thanks for your advice. I was wondering should i use sea water instead of making it myself. I think the stock i have is old, as i have had them in the fridge for many years. They still hatch but the rate of hatching is small. When you say more sea water change do you mean you do not use the same water again to hatch the brine ...

 Hi all . I am glad that the Gozo show was a success. Unfortunately I did not come up to see it. However i must say I was very pleased to see that there were even discus in the show. I know it is a big risk as they do not like to be changed from one place to another. It has been many years since we have had discus at our show. It was also ...

Hope we get to see some nice photos. Would have loved to come and see it. I hope that next year we organise a mini bus as we did a couple of years back. Good luck with the show to our Gozitan members and friends  Frank

  Hi  Does anybody know how to cut the bottom of a bottle, without breaking it to pieces. I remember once at school we had been  told how to do it at a science class, But it was ages ago. I think it had to do with warm and cold liquid or something, and the glass is cut perfectly.; I need it to make a brine shrimp hatchery as the ...

 I am looking forward to the bbq, i hope to bring some friends with me as well. Last year i did not attend. Lets hope the sea will be calm. Frank

 Hi Maritn   Your discus really look great. I am sure soon you will have a breeding pair, as they seem to be getting to the right size now. They look much tamer than mine, but that is because you have them in the living room, so they get used to  seeing people around them. That is the best way to keep them. I once read that you do ...

 HI thanks for the advice.  Charles is there anyway i can make a bottle like yours. I have one very similar which i used to keep wine in, but i am not making wine any more, so it would be great if i could put this bottle to good use. Also are there any nice breeds of australian killifish one can keep.  A friend of mine is coming ...

 HI i never kept these snails, though would love to keep some. But the thing is do they really eat other snails or not. And if yes once eaten what do they eat next.:)   Frank

 HI there i am sorry you lost all your discus due to electricty failure and fluctuations. I must admit i never thought that it could effect the  theromstat of a heater. Well i leave my heaters on in the discus tanks, and even though the temperature is high, with this fresh weather we had sometime it is on. As regards to the discus, i ...

 I really like the one at the top, the Sajica cichlid. Is it a south american cichlid and have you ever bred from it. I must admit i never saw one like it. Frank
