I wish you well wishes too Dougmond. Its just a sign of the times ay. 65 isnt old, old Nevvy is 120 and still goin strong Although the incoming tyrekickers may persuade you to just drain the water and keep a few racks for yourself for a later date....... All the best to the Electric Yellow king ! P.S. fish ARE part of your family....

A couple of things to try Remove male after fertilisation to another tank and let female rear the fry Remove the eggs and hatch them in another tank? ( but still seperate the parents because the male will still kill the female) I use to breed aggressive americans (particularly texas) in colonies like africans, one male and four or more females to share the aggression, with heaps of hiding structure, remove the eggs after fertilisation, and the male would move on to the next female in waiting - thats if you want heeeeaps of fry But if you are breeding them to enjoy the experience, probably the best experiment would be to simply add dither fish to enhance the curviceps parental bond together

ive never had facebook either and never will lets start a "no facebook members only" store

Just wondering when next Springwood auction is? i thought it might be comin up this month?

The snail shells would explain the reason for high hardness level. Bear in mind there are different minerals which together determine outcome of TOTAL hardness. In your case it sounds like shells are contributing to increasing calcium hardness and therefore raising total hardness. You said your fish are all doing well, so as mentioned many times before, concentrate more on stability in your water chemistry. Perhaps remove shells and clay s lo wl y over time if you're that keen to lower hardness level.

Sounds like it might be a sausage fest..........
