Hey I went to my lfs yestuday and they had a spotted leaf fish, i cant find a latin name for it though so anyone with any details would be appreciated! dman

Previously when i went away for a week, i used a pyramid block feeder. I have to be honest, when i came back there were no dead fish and they seem to have all been fed. There was a little bit of the pyramid left so i netted that out and i cant remember the water being cloudy... I guess its...

I'l start! QSS Aquarium and Pond Supplies 339 Wakefield Rd, Bradford. (I have no affiliation sp? with this store its just ace!) Its got loadsa tanks, theyre all very clean and the fish are in good condition. I went earlier and theyve got discus, full size oscars, BGK's, elephantnose...

Hey, Basically, i think it would be a good idea if everyone who has a good trusted LFS they should share the information with us all. Whilst this site has members from all over the world, there are people who live in the same areas.. And so i think it would be a good idea if we could get a list...

My tank has recently had a few unwanted additions, due to takin a friends fish but theyre being rehomed, namely the CAE's, the gouramis, the angel and eventually the blind cave fish. Any ideas anyone? Thanks everyone who has already contributed! dman

Thanks, thats a shame! Any other ideas then for what to have cos the tanks looks pretty empty. dman

Thanks everyone for ur input. Nothing has happened yet, im gunna do a little mroe research. Altho at this early stage i think im gunna try and just make sure i watch the situation - the elephantnose is bery big that i am hoping to buy and my oscar really is very small, in a 90G tank i would...

Good points everyone! Annka5, spot on lol. Cometcattle, are the fish from the asian import generally more expensive than the ones that come from Florida? Abstract, dont worry abt it, this has been fun! lol dman99

Lol yeh very true but it kinda makes no difference in this case. As we're talking about the British Isles and the EU.. Dman ps, dont worry i dont think ur nationalistic lol

lol dont worry abt it abstract!! i love things like this, they jst interest me. if somebody could start breading successfully and to a high standard within the eu then i should imagine its very profitable! unfortunately, there are still a lot of wild caught fish, or if not wild caught then...

That is completely wrong, sorry, but we can buy from anywhere! We are not stuck.

Not really!! I think ur concept of britain as an island may not be quite right, it is, dont get me wrong, an island but its not shut off from the rest of europe. Imports from within the eu are tax free so anythin from within the eu can be sold in britain at a low price. fish however, are...

The elephantnose i saw at the lfs, was just over 8 inches, at the moment my osar is just over one inch. Its not happened yet, im just wondering because my oscar is very peaceful and well fed and the elephantnose would be in the shadows for the majority of the day as they like to do. Ive just...

Aw that sux!! Wel rip little ots and adfs and at least the tank is back to full health now!! dman

Thanks, yeh i looked it knife fish but because theyre both scaleless morymids (sp?) lol they interfere with each other and dont really get on. I know oscars grow large but theyre not really very agressive!! Im just hoping y'know lol dman

The title pretty much says it all. I currently have a juvenile oscar in my 90 and i have kept elephantnoses before without problem, i was just wondering on how feasable it would be to mix the two. I have to point out that this has not happened, its just in theory at the moment and if everyone...

Maybe, but fact is with Britain, fish prices are so high because they are all imported from outside the EU and so arrive with huge taxes, hence a higher price. With Australia, its the supply and demand. If you think about it Australia is surrounded by one of the most beautiful reefs in the...

I usually feed my tank at about 9pm and only feed 6 out of 7 days. I have to be careful in the order i feed aswel or my oscar takes everyones food lol. The food for my oscar goes in first, cichlid pellets or sum frozen/ live. Then a tiny bit of flake food for the blind cave fish and whoever else...

Parents, money and space!! At the moment i really don't have space for anything but what i have. I don't have any money lol and my parents dont see the need for me to get a really big tank! How unfair! lol dman

Fish are generally so expensive in England because we're part of the EU. One of the European directives within the EU states free trade between member states. As you all know, fish do not tend to be imported from Europe, they tend to be imported from Asia and other afar places. To discourage...

In one of my LFS's they had dwarf puffers at 1.49 each!! Great deal just dont have the money or space 2 set up a tank properly!!! dman

Its gotta be Oscars!! Absolutely love them, at the moment ive got a red tiger in my 90 bt there are some albino red tigers and albino reds at work that came from the same batch as the one ive got and theyre soo tempting! dman

I have a spare 20G, spare Fluval 3 filter, 100W heater, loadsa decorations, wood n rocks etc and medication. dman

I would add; All the cories then 4 blue rams then 10 firehead tetras then 2 gold rams then 20 neon tetras then 7 oto's. Hope that helps, Dman

Heyy, The female guppies and cardinals have been given to my brothers tank. Looking at my stocking list i would say i had a fair bit of room and i would love to add some fish to my tank. I'd love some suggestions!! Obviously, the new fish(es) would have to be of a size so that the oscar...

Hahah lol Ill pm u if it comes to that! It was an ace deal and im happy. He's in the 90G at the moment so lets see how it goes. Dman

Not sure what capacity the tank is but its 30 x 15 x 12, which works out as!? I dunno lol. Its in great condition, comes with 2 large blue opaline gouramis, loads of platys, a clown loach :( and two bulldog plecs) I'm not sure what to do with the clown loach, iknow they need 2 be in groups and...

As im getting rid of the Tetras and Guppies im going to keep the Oscar, i dont think anything else should be worried, i'll watch the Blind Cave Fish once the Oscar is bigger and make a decision with them. How about some Butterflyfish? There's so many decisions especially as apart from the Oscar...

Lol thanks. Don't worry i know all about the Oscar, i did a lot of research before i bought him and i work at my LFS so its all good. At the moment he is just over an inch, within 6months though he could be pushing 7 or 8 though! I have 4 kuhli loaches, dont know where you got one from... The...

My tank is in my sig but im just lookin for something that would be suitable with the current inhabitants that could 'finish' my tank. I feel ive got a little bit of space for something but not sure what. Any ideas :) ??? Dman

Thanks black angel, thats as i expected with regards adding them as fish so im going to get 3 hopefully. thanks everyone dman

Cool, i guess this lfs i got the prices of is quite cheap then which is good news!

Woah, all the fish from the particular lfs seem to be in great condition, just not sure of the prices in comparison 2 other places...

I visited one of my LFS's earlier and looking at the prices became curious in how they compared to other LFS's. The ones i noticed were: Peppered Corydoras 2.39 each Fully grown Starlight Ancistrus 14.99 Medium Angels 3.99 each Glass Catfish 2.39 each Banjo Catfish 4.99 each Bumble Bee Catfish...

thanks black angek, will do! im guessin thats in addition to current stock lists so for an example i can only buy 2/3 not 36 lol thanks dman99

Thanks, Hopefully i'll pick up a couple this weekend! Dman

How beneficial are apple snails to an aquarium and how many good i get for a 90G? Thanks, Dman

I hope this works out, and as for kevin007 i understand completely about people givin advice on fish theyve never owned but i work in my lfs and so get to look after many fish, and before my 90G i had a few 50G's so i can honestly any advice i have given you IS from experience. lol just had to...

I have to say i agree with the excellent advice from wrs and pica. The shrimp will eventually make a snack of a fish but thats ur choice. Apart from that what pica sed was great info and the clown loach dont help algae and they do get far too big. dman99

Thanks Wolf! Unfortunately i live in Yorkshire so not too optimistic of a trip 2 Kent in the enar future lol. Well i'll keep looking and see if anywhere can order them in. Thanks, Dman
