From filthy rocks to shiny new decorations

Beautiful woods near where I live Picked up some nice stones with interesting shapes and curves which make small caves if they are placed the right way. They are flint-stones (yabba-dabba-don't make the obvious jokes) coated in thick chalk/limestone. The flint is a very smooth, hard rock and I would...

Tips for decorating tank

I'm hoping to graduate from the manmade decorations onto something a bit cooler and more complex :D

So I was thinking of picking up some rocks from a DIY store or something?

But I'm concerned about weight, how much room it would take up, and obv pollution issues

Any tips?

Thanks in advance

Re: Green Spotted Puffer

So after ordering my f8 for my 45g tank and going to pick it up it is a clear as day GSP. I told the salesman who was still convinced it was a f8 (what do i know he works in a fish store). i showed him pictures of real f8s and he just told me it was the only kind they could get. i called around to ...

Re: A good reason for a systematic analysis of tank -

I found my figure 8 did a similar thing when I changed his water without checking the temperature before adding to the tank, the water was far too cold which basically made him 'freeze' until the tank warmed back up to temperature. yeah. Kinda weird cos humans stay warmer by moving more? I dunno ho...

This problem should be resolved soon, hopefully. But for interest, here's my situation: Single specimen tank - GSP. Behaviour - Inactive and resting in in plain sight (unusual) When startled (accidently), movements suggest confusion and perhaps fatigue. Breathing is NOT heavy at all Eye movements se...

Re: Some people shouldn't be in the hobby

Its not even about the cost of it. It all comes back to negligence and animal cruelty. Did the person at the store actually sell them the fish? Ive had people at a chain refuse to sell me a fiddler crab because i said it was food for my puff. Sucks for you and puffy, but it's heartening to know tha...
