will a siamese algae eater be comfortable with a day time ph of 6 and a night fluctuation up to 7-7.3? I plan on having just one of these in my 36" community, for its activeness and algae eating, will a male or female be better and what are the differences? Cheers.

like i said there was no noticeable change in the PH. The rocks have been out of the tank for over a month, the tank has had a few thorough cleans since then but the fish are still really pale.

Hi, In one of my tanks i put in some local rock, its a beautiful stone that resembles rugged mountain peaks in the aquarium but i also used it because it was free, similar rocks in this quantity on-line would cost upwards of 50 quid so i would like to fix this problem if possible. Since adding...

Thanks, it's Hemianthus 'Cuba', if you want to grow a carpet though i wouldn't recommend this plant, i would go for riccia fluitans instead as its much hardier and easier to shape. It wasn't too hard to maintain, a good trim every couple of weeks but this scape is coming to a end hence wanting...

where can i get aquarium stone for aquascaping, i live in leeds so it would be better to get it locally so i can actually see it instead of buying over the internet, i've seen a good selection of different stone on aquaessentials but i dont particular want to buy without seeing it first. Has...

is there any good websites? I'm after Betta's.

Hi, i've had enough of the poor quality betta's in all the LFS's, where can i buy them online (UK), from a site that shows individual pictures for each fish - theres nothing worse than going onto a fish delivery website and the options for betta's are 'red' or 'blue', mmmmmm thanks for the...

Are there any LFS' that sell aquascaping rock in and around Leeds?

Thanks again Lesley :thanks:

eheim are the quietest and best built but fluvals and tetratecs are also superb.

yeh i'm going with APC, the package is over 2 KG so RM is actually more expensive.

strange, kinda cute though. Is there enough oxygen in the water? do the other fish in the tank hover near the surface? As loaches are bottom feeders it is vital to get enough oxygen to the lower strata of the tank, if this isn't the case they'l dart up to get oxygen from the surface...

sent via royal mail?

Nobody has actually asked how big your goldfish are so its difficult to know how many fish, if any, can be added to your tank. But in answer to your original question, goldfish are fine at temps of 75F and below, i'v mixed them with a range of tropical fish with not a single problem, they went...

Hi, i just wanted to get some advice before i go ahead with it tomorrow. On the Post Office website it says it is illegal to send adult fish but it's fine to send live fry as long as i mark the box with 'Live Creatures - URGENT', i will send it by next day special delivery so writing that on...

APC i thnk you mean, they are good, not sure of others?

Yeh i would love to head to notts but its getting there that poses a problem, i've often thought of joining the BLA, might have to do it soon. Yes i got it closed eventually, they actually closed this one for a few days by mistake :sly:

Hey all, i have a intruder in one of my tanks, i have eco-complete in all my tanks and today i noticed these little lice things in the substrate of one of them, i forced one or two up to the surface to get a better look but they just burrowed straight back down, finally i sucked a lot of...

these fish are selling for no more than many common species in lfs', be one of a handful of people to own these beautiful fish. Bump :rolleyes:

just let me know, cheers john. regards, jonny

Hi john, 10 females and 2 males are used to breed. They are small broods, averaging between 12-15, I aren't aware of losing any once over a week old and beyond meal size for the bigger fish, my tank is very well planted so i'm guessing only a very small percentage get eaten, i would guess at...

PM'd hi di, if you can't find anyone else then feel free to contact me if your ever in or around yorkshire as i usually have some of these to sell.

hi tw3lv3, they will get along absolutely fine, and yes they are likely to cross breed.

once again helterskelter is spot on. unless i remove the fish and put them in a viewing tank, which i appose of, there is no way of getting pictures this good, these fish never sit still in open water and therefore it's next to impossible to get this kind of quality picture. I did mention this...

Hi weimester, postage in £7.50 for a minimum of 18 fish, they are pretty tolerable but prefer to be at 72-75F, they will only breed between these temps but if your not interested in breeding they will be fine between 69-78F. There ideal PH is 7.0-7.5 but i keep the majority of mine in my...

no problem ladylouroll, no harm no foul. regards, jonny

thanks helterskelter.

are you kidding me? i take offence to this to be honest, these are pure bred x.nezahualcoyotl and its a species of fish i specialise in, if you know anything about rare livebearers then i dont know how you've come to that conclusion, i assure you they are not in any way limia's, livebearer...

i almost consider then to be dwarf swordtails, the females get to 6-7cm max and the males get to 5cm max but they are much slimmer and more needle like (around a third of the weight of a adult female) regards, jonny
