Re: nother question about dps
Huzzah!
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Re: nother question about dps
Just watch out for them getting sucked up into the filter, that's the only thing I'd worry about. And remember, I would like to have some of your babies when they are able to go to a new home.

Re: nother question about dps
Maybe we can do a trade, or trades .... I have 3 GSP's and 2 F8's that I'm looking to rehome, if you're interested.

Re: nother question about dps
well ive pretty much emptied a 20g + a 10g tank for them when they get a bit bigger, i know thats not big enough for a lot of fully grown dps, but should think for tiddlers they will b fine in them for a good while schismy is gonna have some, ive got another friend whos gonna take a few, i wanna keep at least 10 or so between all my tanks and theres a couple of local shops who have said they will be interested, both of them so far seem decent places to me. im not sure whether to take them to the lfs tho, or keep them here and maybe put them individually on ebay or something? not because i wanna make money from them...but i know any lfs will sell any fish to anyone who wants to buy them wont they, if i sell them myself, i can make sure they go to ppl who know at least a little bit how to look after themaksamit wrote:Yeah, will you do with all those puff's ?

Re: nother question about dps
I know what you mean, Sometimes I wish my puff's would breed, but then what to do with all the new one's ?
how much are you willing to sell them for ?

Re: nother question about dps
I used to have my F8's, SAP's and DP's all in the same tank, and only changed it around when I got my new big tank. But they were fine living all together for about a year before I disbanded the tank -- so I think your SAP's would be fine with the F8's (and I currently keep my F8's in freshwater too, so they are used to that).rachy wrote:schismy007 wrote:Maybe we can do a trade, or trades ....
