Theyre beautiful! Im really excited about this project!

Well the store is a good one, i used to work there and so am still very friendly with them and particularly good friends with the guy who personally deals with what fish they get in and he just told me that he doesnt mind paying me for some fish as long as theyre of a good quality, meaning not...

Hey, Im a student living in England and have a few aquariums. I have one upstairs empty room and the other day my mum suggested turning it into a fish breeding room to raise a little bit of money! I couldnt believe it! So i rang up my LFS and they said if the fish were of a good enough quality...

Sorry! That was a very large piece of humble pie i just ate! Lol.

Correct me if im wrong bt i thought that male bettas was strictly one a tank as they will fight to the death! Ive been told and read that they are not necessarily agressive fish yet when two males are together they wil fight so i would advise definately do not get another male!

Lol, read the sig, i have a few good sized tanks all with heaters! lol. Id say i am fairly experienced and have done my research. Im going to have one empty tank already cycled and matured with one eel and one elephantnose, im not gettin two cos through research and feedback on here ive been...

Yeah, i loved the one i had before i took it back and im jst happy that i know i can have one now!

Lol it jst sounded like thats what u meant. Go for it, theyre great fish!

Hmm, ur still overstocked though. Hate to say it but for the good of the rest of them, id recommend gettin rid of the gouramis.

They do need a heater unfortunately, tropical through n through lol. Heater and filter is required, sorry! Dont quote me on the 4 inches, give or take an inch to be sure.

Mine has one area of the tank planted well and one half less so to allow for swimming space.

When blind cave fish are born they are blind with no eyes however at such a young age they have visible eye sockets just with no eyes. As they mature these grow out until the no eyes looks more natural lol. They have never been able to see so for them it is not a problem. They originate from...

The rule tends to be one inch per gallon. So work out how many inches of fish you have when theyre full grown and compare that to 10GALS. You should have about 10 inches worth of fish in length at full size in a tank of that size.

Ok! Will do then! One elephantnose fish it is :)

Ok! Thanks, im constantly building up my knowledge little by little... Obviously a lot will come with experience! Dman99

Cool. Well im removing all the fish from one of my 50G's, the substrate will be changing to sand and it has a lot of bogwood. All this will be done in one day and so i am hoping to have one zig-zag spiny eel and 2 elephantnose fish in it. Would this be ok?

Cool. Thankyou very much. With a bit of luck in a week or so there might be one of those in one of my aquariums. Dman99

Ok, thanks. I'll get a bit of both then, actually ill probably go half half with reefbones to liverock.

Heheh, no problem. I don't mind at all. I couldn't honestly answer that question, i have put sand in mine but then that is only because i have gravel in all my other tanks and i wanted some corydoras who particularly love it! Dman99

Also, how would they get on with a zigzag spiny eel?

Also, how would they get on with an elephantnose fish?

Hey, A while ago i purchased an elephantnose fish, impulse buy, days later and feeling very guilty i returned it to the LFS and decided to do some research. Well this is the first time i have got round to it so does anybody have any pictures at all of them fully grown? Any information with...

Does anyone have a picture of the zigzag spiny eel? Would be greatly appreciated!

Ok thanks!

What is the cheaper option, i read somewhere on this forum there are a type of dead liecrock excuse the cliche that with time will come back to its former glory? This is cheaper however is it too challenging for a beginner? Ive become friends with a guy at the LFS, who really does bring his...

The digital camera returns a week tomoro. You can expect photos of each of them then, i promise!

Ive just set up a betta tank sized 24 x 12 x 12 and it has a sandy substrate, i thoroughly rinsed it first and my water is as you can imagine not clear just yet. I originally planned for just the one male betta but im now thinkin ill get a shoal of corydoras, jst to optimize the use of the sand...

Have i done everything i need to? and is this a good set up for one male betta?

I got them today, 1 starlight ancistrus and one albino. Beautiful little things!

Hey, I went to the LFS today and bought a tank measuring 24 x 12 x 12. Is this too big, its actually a jewel rekord 60 and the male betta is going to be the only inhabitant. The current will be minimal as with all juwel tanks. I have used sand as a substrate and have used a variety of plants...

Oh cool, so if i dont filter it then basically as soon as its up and runnin i can add a betta? I think im gonna get a nice healthy 5 GAL with some plants because he will be the only inhabitant so i should make it as nice as possible for him!

I dont think im going to filter the tank but ill use a medicated cycle liquid in the water and also use some gravel from one of my others and what about squeezing a used bit of filter media into it? Would that also help?

Yeah it has, and these samll 3 or 5 GAL tanks, are they usually bowls or ur normal rectangular thingys? Say i was to set up a 5GAL tank tomoro solely for a male better then when can i add him, i know about cycling with other tropicals but the no filter bit is confusin me lol.

Please someone!

Thankyou! I'll see what happens n if i get some ill let the whole world know lol.

Lol, buy her a few nice expensive gifts lol. She'll soon be ok with it lol.

I wasnt saying there was a problem with the size of your tank with the angels, that is perfectly ok i was just sayin a 20 day old tank rougly isnt great for angels and female bettas. But if u say its cycled then i will take ur word for it. Dman99

Thanks, Well im looking into it to make sure i dont do anything foolish or that i wil later regret. Thanks agen, Dman99

Hey, I have 4 aquariums now but ive always wanted a male betta. I really dont know much apart from never put males with males or with guppys and gouramys. Id like to set up a tank for a male betta and so what are the minimum requirements that a betta could live in ie. do they need a filter...

Lol, its no problem, its what the forum is all about. Normally i say dont have fish that would outgrow the tank theyre in without having the bigger tank because 6months down the line the finances might not be there. And clown loaches really do need a big big tank. Mine are in a 5' x 18" x 18"...
