The wood that is on the left hand side, it will take up that amount of space, and then, that amount of space again on top. (As you can see there are 2 branches that stem out) Hope that made sense :S

Why don't you try GBR again? Or maybe some firemouths? I really want a pair of them ^_^

Pitties are only bad if their owners train them to be that way. Sure, every dog could turn on you. They are animals, just like us. But unfortunately, pits get a bad name because of what some of us make them do. Sorry, some reason that posted twice :/

Yeh I didn't think so. I tend to just throw my cubes in for my cichlid tank, their mouth is just too big to pick at individual brine shrimp. Most of it gets sucked into the filter, which is such a waste. So I just let them attack the blocks, they all get some until the Frontosa comes out and...

Okay so I think I'm starting to regret my choice of wood. I'm thinking maybe it's too big :crazy: Someone reassure me!! haha.

Oh wow, okay then. I have a Siberian Husky, never seen Huskies used for fighting. How strange. Hope it works out for you.

Could you please give me the dimensions of your tank. I have a 165L and I swear it doesnt look that big haha. I'm thinking maybe mine is a little taller? Anyhoo, dimensions would be fab haha. Tank looks fantastic by the way. Loving the tiger barb cove!

Plants look like the plastic variety to me :P Great looking tank mate! Your Betta looks real happy.

I really liked the way you had the tank before you moved the plants around. I was thinking maybe some vallis at the back right hand corner. Near your slate (looking) cave. and maybe some hair grass (I think that's what it's called) in the gap of sand in front of that same slate cave. Hope that...

This seriously, looks absolutely amazing!

What a great start! Love the black sand, the tank fits in perfectly, looks like it was made for that space! Also, just like to say that I love your wallpaper :P

Weird huh!? :)

Okay, so I'm from Aus. Why can't those breeds be insured??

Hey! Welcome to the forum :)

I just plop my cubes straight in. It defrosts pretty quickly. I've never had a fish die on me with frozen food :/

How is the tank coming along??

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if someone could help me with some information on Alternanthera sessilis, Violet. Are they easy to look after? Do they require C02? What kind of light to they prefer? etc etc I'm rescaping my 44G and would like to add some more live plants, and try to move away...

Does anyone know anything about Alternanthera sessilis, Violet?

I've given my Platy's bloodworm before. Never had any problems with it, although Platy's seem to eat everything. They also love brine shrimp. I'm sure someone much wiser will come along and correct me if I'm wrong. But I'd say you're safe :) Sorry for your loss. :(

Platys, Kribensis, Electric yellows and Johanni's :)

^^ Agreed. If your water is better, it's time to up the numbers of your schools. Personally I would go with 8-10 Tigers and 8-10 Rosy's. Certainly helps spread the agression. If you're really worried about your Rosy barb being nasty, take him back and replace him when you buy more. You may...

Yayyy. So glad this little guy won. Stunning fish. Congrats to you both :)

Congratulations :)

Wow, that is insanely convenient! I was just looking at some plants today online, and I really liked the Crypt "Wendtii". Stoked to find out they also come in red! Do you know anything about Hygrophilia Corymbosa? This was one of the taller plants that I really liked the look of.

The water in the tub is a bit yellow today :D The more tannins I can get out now, the better!

Oh wow! That looks really good. Such an improvement. You've actually made the tank look bigger. Well I think so anyway. I hope this re-sparked your interest in fish keeping!

That looks great! Awesome job :)

I have mine with a good group of Tiger Barbs, Platys, Hengle Rasbora and Black Neon Tetra's. Although some people may not agree with the Tiger Barbs, but I've managed to keep them succesfully.

Thanks. I thought it had a bit of character :) The plants at the back are Vallis, the straight kind. You can also get corkscrew Vallis. Thanks for that! Are there any 'red' varieties that I could keep? I have a fake red plant in the tank at the moment, and it just gives such a nice colour...

Hey guys, So I've been searching for a particular shaped piece of driftwood for months and months. The good news is, I FOUND IT! And it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. The bad news is..well, there isn't really any bad news :D So now I finally get to rescape a bit! I've been doing bits...

Sorry for the late reply. I've been super busy! Well I've got 2 babies left out of this bunch. I haven't separated them, and they're looking pretty fat and healthy. Fingers crossed! When they get a little bigger, I will probably separate them when the parents stop protecting. At the moment...

Yeh, i'm debating with myself what to do. There are only 8 left today. I just realllllly want them to survive haha.

Oh okay. I was thinking maybe they would get super agro and attack everything.

Will the parents flip out if I separate them now??

Ohh that sucks! I was thinking of taking them out, but I don't have another tank to put them in, which is a shame. And I don't really want to keep them in a breeding trap. Guess we'll see how the new parents go at protecting them this time around! I just love how they take them out for little...

At least your stores ask you questions. There is one particular chain here in Australia, that will sell you anything. I heard one employee say to a customer; "Oh okay, you have a fully grown Pictus Catfish.. Yeah Neons would be great in there!" I decided to step in and say; "Excuse me, but...

I dropped a couple shrimp pellets (Corys food :))near where they were hovering around. A little while later they came back when the pellets went soggy, and were attacking it like crazy. Bit of extra food for them :) I really hope some survive, or all of them! The first batch they had, didnt...

My favourite male platy :)

Welcome to the forum! Your tank looks fantastic! :)
