oh, your level of care isn't an issue and 12 of them is not overcrowding in a biological sense, I was more concerned about aggression? But then again I've never bred DPs (just rainbows and corys) so what do I know lol. my reply probably came off a little harsh, it wasn't meant too. :redface: from w...

had, 12 yes but as with any bulk buy there is now a few that have departed. i can see the argument for not putting 12 in a 30g tank it seems a lot, but if i had 20 guppys in there it would be fine or a pair of angels... at 1.5cm currently the 12 have more tank space comparable to my dovii pair with ...

are you norwich uk ???

ok well after a week, i have lost one. it was one of the weaker ones so was sort of expected. there is still at least two that still not putting weight on but i'm waiting on some stuff to worm them. but the rest seem to be feeding well but my judging of how much leave a lot to be desired so overfeed...

i wanted to give this a bump. the reason is i live on a river mouth esterie. i was talking to a mate the other day about setting up a cold water marine tank with some local specie of seahorses. now he is a very knowledgeable marine biologist and i ask the simple question, can i just go down the beac...

Just a heads up--they like to breed in Java moss.

i currently got about 6-8 different small patches tied to rocks and DW do you think this is enough or should i add a clump and let it float around??

it can be lifted but that is a PITA, but there are places where you can push 6mm air line under to make sure no voids are missed. I'll have to see how it goes with the puffers, as i think it will be more food waste than poop that will be the issue. there are plenty of snails in there that will take ...

thats the clever bit hahaha so it looks like a lot of deep mix substrate, but the tank was originally set up for cockatoo cichlids. its actually mostly 3/4" slate with pockets of deep substrate for the plants so its very easy to clean. i have used this type of set up in a couple of tanks over t...

well after a recent fail with a project i found myself with an empty 30g tank. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy212/titan350cc/IMG_20151114_122116_zpsdga2tvya.jpg well not quite empty but in need of tenants. so i did some research and started about playing with the tank with the purpose of tryin...

maybe i may have to get a couple more (any excuse lol)

yes i have read up on trimming their teeth , im hoping with slate and snails i can keep it to a minimum. but think im prepped for it when it need doing. the barbs seem to stay clear of it but it will be moving into this tank soon, it's 30"x 26" x 12" and full of snails lol. apologies ...

Did you say you're keeping an F8 and a GSP in a 10 gallon tank? yes, but i did this for a couple of reasons, with my run of bad luck/ miss information and it was my first brackish tank so really going at it blind. also i wanted to make sure i could establish them correctly before i move them into a...

we was passed on to this site by PufferPunk so here i am lol. abit about myself. I have been keeping fish for about 15years and over this time it has mostly been South american cichlids. over the last few years i have spread my wings for different types of fish, Snakeheads, Catfish and more recently...
