    Zen Garden Themed Tank

    dont take offence to it looking like fknm's tank, its a good think, its different anyway, i like it, just my first thought, but like someone said, anytank with a budda and bamboo will remind me of fknm's tank. i personally like it, the plants around the budda is good :good:

    Would You Buy Shrimps Online ?

    i know some species of catfish can rip the bag and burst water all over, shrimps need something to hold onto while being sent, such as filter media or plant cuttings. personally i hate knowing about animals being sent in the post, its ok transporting them by yourself from shop to home because...

    Net Fry Traps

    i use breeding nets all the time with fry, good way to keep them alive from the parents.i keep them in there till just over 2 months, then usally they are big enough to escape being eaten. i only keep about 8-10 fry in one, but i will always use another if nessary.

    Is It Right?

    i seperated the aggressive fry, all seems pieceful again, its in a small container thing with holes for water to pass though and a small snail to eat the leftovers, looks ok for now, big enough to hold the fry for a few weeks atleast, by then i will have released him. thanks for the help guys

    Easy To Keep, Personal Pet?

    i think gliders are common pets now in UK, hard to find them in shops, but given time, you will find a good breeder. they do need trees etc to glide from, thats why my 2 are in a huge bird cage with plenty of room to glide about, with lots of trees and branches to climb.they are very good pets...

    Ok... This Just Wasn't Cool...

    really!? they are now stocking dyed fish, thats my local too. if they are keeping the dyed fish i will have to look for another fish shop. i saw those posters too, when i sw them i was pleased that they wouldnt stock dyed fish, i really hope they dont get tatooed fish in. just out of curiosity...

    Hows My Decoration? *lots Of Pictures*

    heaters are nessary for bettas, they are tropical fish and need warmer waters. sure the tank temperature might be at a good temp. during the day, but what about night, you really need to buy a heater designed for 5 gallon tanks. and a thermomiter. a filter to me is always nessary too, sure...

    Is It Right?

    the attual chasing leasted only seconds, the older fry would chase the younger fry away then stop. it was going on a lot yesturday, and i was worried about my fry, so i removed the older fry for now, i think it will be ok for now, in a few weeks, it can be released into the main tank.wont the...

    What's Your Favorite Aquatic Plant?

    got to be moss balls, you can leave them out of the water for hours (accident) drop them down the staires, picked on by the fish, and rool arounf endlessly and still going strong, fantastic or what. apart from that, other mosses i like, especially the common java moss, but also christmas moss...

    wow, looks like you had a right old fun time,lol looks a lot better now, i mean a LOT better, no offence but the whole freshwater looking like a marine tank didnt work for me, the wood gives it a real natural look. give it time with the plants, i know, i know, always give it time, but eventually...

    Easy To Keep, Personal Pet?

    well i didnt mean easy pets, but not perticular hard i think if enough research is done and your willing to put in the effort. thet diet isnt difficult by anymeans, they are omnivores, they can eat fruits, vegetables, meats, insects, bread and cereal citrus fruits such as apples arent good for...

    Is It Right?

    i'll get right to the point... i have one, 2 month old fry in a breeding net with about 13, 1 month old fry in the same net, they are from different mothers, and they were getting along great, swimming around, feeding together and minding there own business, but lately (mainly today) i have...

    Hows My Decoration? *lots Of Pictures*

    5 gallons isnt too bad for tank size, photos dont do much justice anyway. 10 gallons isnt a wast of space for 3 bettas if they are all happy and healthy.but it seems they are healthy and happ in your tank. is your tank heated and filtered, if it isnt filtered, more water changes are needed IMO...

    Live Moss Balls! Good Or Not?

    really easy to care for IMO, i bought 3 from a ebay seller, added them to my tankm and left them, now they have grown and developed a oval shape, possabily because im not rolling them enough. they are tropical plants i belive, so wont do well in outdoor pools. dont do much for keeping algea down...

    Feeding African Dwarf Frogs & Other Questions...

    squrting the food directly over the frogs is a good way, wait till the frog is looking at the baster, and then gently squeeze the end and alloq the food to come out slowly, giving the frogs time to grab it, putting food on the frogs decor isnt a bad idea either, give them time to eat them, and...

    Fish 'n Flush!

    not a very good idea i think, ive seen it before and think its a stupid idea, its small, akward shape and probally not making the fish happy. i admit it looks nice, and yeah, if heated and filtered (which i dont think it is) might make a good home for some bettas, goldfish is out of the question.

    Ok... This Just Wasn't Cool...

    i think any tatooed fish is sick, i still dont get why people have to mess with things like this, why cant they leave things be, the fish was great before, now it looks crap. luckly my lfs never sells dyed or tatooed fish, and even has posters around saying "no dyed or tatooed fish sold here"...

    Finally A Second Tank!

    i second the puffers, but what about gouramies? i also think a huge female betta tank would look great, but i doubt you would fill a 29g with just bettas a tetra tank would look great, mine does, i think a few red and black phantom tetra along with a few other species would look great, and of...

    How Many More?....

    not sure about everything, i can say its not the tank size for cories or any bottom dweller, its the floor space, its easier to judge by eye, but just make sure each cory has enough room on the floor, usally having groups of just 1 species of cories is best, i personally would wait for more...

    Hows My Decoration? *lots Of Pictures*

    i agree with this statement, infact it i was thinking it, just too slow in posting. it does look a small tank, and only 3 females, aggression could be high, i also dont see a filter or a heater, is there one, if not can i ask why? the tank doesnt suit my liking, im not a fan of fake plants, or...

    Phantom Tetra And Bettas?

    i was wondering if a betta can live with red and black phantom tetra in a well planted tank. will the betta be annoyed by the reds and blacks? i know bettas can live with some other tetras, and some they cant, but i wanted to make sure before i did anything. cheers

    Will It Ever Come To This ?

    god i really hope i dont walk into a fish shop and see bettas in a tit-tac container, that would be going to far, well, i think it passed the "to far line" wey back.lol not to sound snobby or whatever, but i never used to capture animals when i was younger, i suppose we never really went on...
