Welcome.and WOW!Awesome tank!! :good:

Good grief my head hurts!! lol Great minds think alike eh Matt? :lol:

I'm totally open to suggestions ATM,but the lima's are in my defenitely column now.Thanks for your input Dave,I'll read up on your suggestions Its already driving me nuts and I only thought seriously about this today!! lmao When I had oscars years ago I kept convicts with them too.opinions on...

:drool: :hyper: Oh gawd,I'm gonna be sorry I started thinking about this! :lol:

I ALWAYS liked lima shovelnoses,would they fit in with cichlids ok?

I was away from fish for 10 years,16 years with them before it,but I felt like an amateur when I found this place,no worries,you never stop learning in this hobby ;)

Maybe the lfs LIED? :blink: shock horror! :lol:

NP,anything to keep a newbie in the fishy business ;)

Ok,IF and this is IN THEORY,IF I had been looking at all the members tanks here and had my head turned away from planting up my 180 gal.and IF I wanted to get a big cichlid "community" (oscars again!!!! :shout: ) And in my past fishy life I was in the "only thing that can live with oscars is a...

Every type of fish can have a little evil in them,I had a goldfish when I was young who after 2 years decided to become partial to his tankmates eyeballs :S Not a scare story to put you off,just saying you have done nothing wrong,just one of those things ;)

http://shrimpspot.com/goldspot.aspx Are these them?or those?or they?oh whatever! :lol:

Either of the above.If you live close to another member here and they have room then I'm sure they'd help,and if not,then try the shop,just dont expect your money back :S

Is re-homing the bully an option?

I know,the fish they sell there are better than the majority of show tanks in other shops :drool:

Have you tried dropping bits of flake right in front of him?

:flowers: :beer: :bday: :drink: :-

My 21 year old 6x2x2 got filled for the first time in 10 years last week and not a drop leaked,terrifying while filling,but all stayed dry lol

http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/detail51_78661.php I hope this one goes to someone who knows what they're doing!! :(

You ever been to the green machine?DONT go if you have cash,or you wont have it long,amazing shop!! lol

Wrexham,N Wales.So not the only taff here! :good: :lol:

Fingers crossed for 6 more double 0's for you :P

I totally agree,and the big shops dont care most of the time because dead fish = more sales,because the people who follow the "advice" that the workers give have no experience and assume they have done something wrong themselves,so,just go back for more fish to dump in the tank and hope for the...

My opinion (I could be wrong) it got closed because it could be seen as promoting having a go at shop workers,who,lets face it,have no clue what they are doing most of the time and only going "by the book" for the shop.Even though the book they use is totally wrong

I have no idea what the scientifics are,but,even though the top one is brighter,the bottom one seems more harsh and giving a bad glare for me

As far as looks go,the top vid with the 2 14k tubes looks better,alot less glare :good:

I think it may look weird underwater.Can you test a small piece before you commit?

You could buy a petrol can for a fiver,I'd rather put a fish in one of those than this,,,,ummmm,can it be called a tank? :S :shout: :lol:

Maybe Hydra? http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/277805-hitchhikers-in-freshwater-tanks-ponds/ take a look there,scroll to uncommon hitchhikers

*mental note,dont annoy Gilli* lol Poor lad must have been bricking it! :lol:

Empty shell I'm guessing,they look exactly like the full ones,just empty.I think they use the empties for calcium,so leave it in there :good:

COOL! thanks Elise :*

I cheated,I got that seller from reading one of your posts,so we'll share the credit! :P Think I'll be using him to stock my 180g :drool:

hmmmmm,a pet rock would cut down on water changes.Where can these be obtained?? :lol: I saw an african lungfish for sale as a community fish a few months ago,so,I do agree with some others here that an lfs MAY have been the cause of all this,if real :look:

OMG ITS EMPTY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ebay here I come!!!!!!!! :P

It all depends on tank size.A 30% change refilled with colder water wont hurt.And as far as getting water everywhere....welcome to fishkeeping,enjoy! :hyper: lol

You'll soon have a BIG tank once you see all the great ones here! :P

:blush: Well thanks guys :blush:

Alternanthera reineckii, Roseafolia. This is growing well for me with no extra special care :good:
