Everyone here in Northern Ireland seemed to have them during the summer but I havnt seen any for a while. They may be seasonal but any specialist fish store should be able to get information on them for you.

Can't believe I fell for that :clap:

:hi: :drinks:

:hi: What sort of fish are you guys into then?

Yeah Im not sure exactly what filtrations on it at the minute, there are several large filters as the water quality for the Koi had to be kept tip-top but I havnt looked that closely yet. At the minute its just an idea, no concrete plans are in place.

1. The filter doesnt remove chlorine, you should have used a declhorinator, there are different brands, 'aqua plus' etc. Used as directed these work instantly. 2. I take it by the flow you mean from the outlet of your filter? This isnt too inmportant, I put it just under the surface so that it...

Hey! I only wish my girlfriend was as understanding as your wife!

One piece of advise I can offer quickly is that larger tanks are (surprisingly) much easier to care for than smaller ones. The larger the body of water the more dilluted any pollutants will be and so the less stress (which leads to death) your fish will be under. If anything goes wrong in a...

Thanks for advice Themuleous, I am hoping to do this, save myself money, help out someone stuck with a big fish and most importantly give a fish a better home. I say fish because I've seen people looking to rehome many fish but I've never seem snapping turtles for rehoming, they arent to common...

Welcome Andy, how long have you been fishkeeping?

Very nice tank set-up!

Nothing better than getting a hold of something you've been waiting on for a while, especially when it leads into the excitement of setting up a new tank! Keep us posted on your progress, hope it goes well!

yeah, well its more of a vat really, but its pretty cool and has a couple of viewing windows on the front. My Dad used to import and sell Koi so he set up the biggest 'pond' he could

Its unfair to comment on the entire PetsAtHome chain in general other than to say that they could probably offer greater support in training staff and ensuring all their stores look after their fish to an acceptable degree. Thre are probably stores who are lucky enough to have good fishkeepers...

Welcome, I'm not long here myself but I think you'll find the site usefull. My area of knowledge is oddball fish so if you have any questions or querys on the more unusual fish you can keep, feel free to PM me.

Sorry I havnt been on in a while, the pond is already built, its indoors and was used by my father to house koi in the past but I want something a bit different. The dimensions are 19ft x 12ft x 4ft, plenty big enough I think! Yeah the running costs when heating is added could be a problem but...

Howdy! Good to see someone local-ish on the boards. If you need any help or advise Id be glad to help to the best of my ability

If they were small enough to be swallowed whole by the goldfish and there no longer there then it doesn't exactly sound like a big mystery to me.

cool, I'm definatly interested in getting one, there awesome when their small, thought has to be given though to when they turn into this. . .

I use Eheim myself but there isn't much difference, depending on your size of tank and type of fish £50 may not get you a great one though. If you have a smallish tank or just small community fish you would be fine but if you were keeping anything larger or predatory I would get the largest one...

Thanks for the help guys, I have researched both and I know that they both get huge and dont really tolerate tankmates. n3ont3tra I thought you couldnt keep them with anything, what size is he now then??

Bump! I'd be fascinated to hear replies here too as I have never heard of this behaviour from black widows. Very interesting.

I plan to buy a specimen fish/turtle to house in a 6' tank before moving it into a tropical pond, can any body offer me advise or personal opinions? What would you keep? I was thinking snapping turtle or red tailed cat hence they are the choices of the poll but I am open to suggestions

I'd go with the white sand with seashells cause it would fit your brackish theme, also if its coral sand itl raise your pH which provided your water isn't already high will benifit the fish you've mentioned.

HI, If the noise can be put up with I would leave the three running for at least a fortnight. You could probably get away with a week or even less without losses but if the tank has a heavy bioload I would give it the extra time so as not to take any unneeded chances.
