BRONZE CATFISH

Well today i noticed my small eheim filters were running slow again normally i would just clean the pipes but i thought i would do them properly. I took the filter to the kitchen took the lid of and to my suprise there was something wiggling about i took another look it was a baby bronze catfish that must have got sucked up the filter as an egg. I took it to the tank and put it in then returned to the filter when i took the first tray out i found another 2 little cats. It was only about 4 weeks ago that i took the sponge pre filters of so they can only be a month old or less. They lived in there with no light but they had plenty of food. Just goes to show anything is possible. No pictures yet but i will take some first chance i get watch this space.

MORE NEW FISH

Well since i last updated this blog i went to atlatis in gt yarmouth and bought 4 new discus 2 moonstone marlboro and 2 chequerboard pidgeons. All looked fine in the shop but when i got them home after a few hours i noticed they had a white edge to the tail's and fin's So i treated them for 7 days with melafix. After this time it had all cleared up. After asking a few people about this it turned out it is caused buy stress. So now they all look good i will post some pictures. Also i now know my snake skin is a female she has paired with a blue diamond. I now know i have at least 4 pairs between the 2 tanks as i get at least 2 lots of eggs every week from each tank they have'nt come to anything yet as all the fish are juvenile. I have also moved the water butt into the spair bedroom for those people who have been reading this blog i ran a pipe under the bath into the bedroom and added a auto shut off valve so i don't have to worry about it overflowing anymore.
