it's 120 litres (about 27 UK gallons...)

Thanks Leon :D :D Thanks everyone infact - I can't wait to actually get the £££ together now and get everything I need.... The life on the L.R. sounds amazing.... anything underwater just grabs my attention... I've barely watched TV since I setup my tropical tank :wub:

Hi everyone, I just wondered what the general opinion was on keeping a couple of Clown Loaches with my Crowntail Betta??? I've seen some in several LFS's, but don't know whether to buy or not.... I have heard two opposing opinions... one LFS said they should be no problem at all, and another...

It's not the one on ebay, no.... £150 for a wee fishy!? Only in my dreams! :lol: I've been offered the little fella for £40 and I've seen some 10 gallon tanks in my LFS <----- (picking up the abbreviations already, eh? ;) ) which come complete with filter/light/heater for just £50.... So...

Thanks for the info Navarre - It will probably be another month or two before I gather enough funds for everything... I'll buy the tank first, as that will be the most expensive item then I shall definitely be PM'ing you for some Liverock details :D As for the opinion on the Juwel tank - what...

Hmm... I'm not actually sure... They are definitely labelled as Armoured Shrimp in the store. I'll ask the store owner before I purchase though, just incase Do crayfish have that lovely shiny blue armor? If so, it may be the same thing :( Oh well - that just means I'll need more fish tanks...

Thanks Jon. OK - so I'm getting this all right so I can make sure I budget enough to get everything I need for the tank; I'll buy a Juwel Vision 450 and will need around 50 Kilos of Liverock... that's about £500 - £550 in Liverock. I also know off-hand that I'll need a decent powerhead (isn't...

I have come across someone selling a Zebra plec, but before I buy him, I just want to make sure he'll be OK with my existing tank-mates; Cronwtail Betta 10 Cardinals Albino Cory Peppered Cory Upside-down catfish Talking catfish Red-tailed Black Shark 2 Sailfin Mollies 9 baby Sailfin Mollies...

Thanks for your replies :) I'm glad to hear that it's not all bad news for me then - I'll just have to put a little more thought and research into it to ensure I only get captive-bred. It's nice to know. Particularly about clown-fish too.... I suppose it was kind of obvious, but I have read...

I think the general opinion is that they don't mix.... however, there are loads of individual cases that prove this wrong, so it's down to the individual fish.... If you're prepared to risk it - then go for it. It may work fine. Most people shy away from that mix "just incase" anyway - I.E...

.....Sorry about the question after question, but what about Armoured Shrimp? Again - a local store stocks them and they're pretty substantial... at least 2-3 inches with lovely, bright-blue armour..... are they a no-go too? :-( I like those :nod:

Hi everyone, I am still rather new here and have posted in the Tropical section. I have 5 aquariums so far with an aim to ultimately get to a marine setup. However, during my recent research into the subject, I did come across something - be it rumour or fact - that really would decide whether...

Is this the type of catfish you mean? If so - yes please! I will search for one of those too once I've introduced my frogs for a bit tomorrow. He'll be our last fish in there for now then. How big will he/she grow Raechal? Oh - and is it true that I can't keep various shrimp with many...

That's good news about the little African frogs.... a local shop has them (they're definitely the right ones), so I'll pop along and get two of the little fellas tomorrow ^_^ It's funny you should mention about the Albino Frogs too..... the same local shop had some in last week.... they were...

Thanks for the link :D It is a great site! :kana: However, the list it returned, based on my choices.... well, let me run it by everyone here to see what they think.... Gourami's Blue Gourami Golden Gourami Opaline Gourami Three Spot Gourami Two Spot Gourami Puffers Arrowhead Puffer...

Hello everyone, For anyone who didn't see my first few posts - I'm new on the forum. I have been an aquarist for about 2 years now, but it is only around 3 months since I setup my first Tropical setup, so I could do with a few pointers on what I can/can't pick for my tank... The tank itself is...

Thanks OneTrick - this Bettaman sounds interesting..... Does he have his own website? (actually, I'll check out his profile and see if he has one listed there...) BTW; is that a knife fish in your signature OneTrick? I caught a glimpse of a fish that looked similar... It's tail was like a...

I have just updated my location profile, but just so you all know, I'm based in Leeds, West Yorkshire in the UK. I can travel a good distance though, if it's for a good stockist :D

I will try my best to get some pictures soon... The only digital camera I currently have is the one on my mobile phone which is a bit pants really... However, Mrs Nuckfluck is looking to get me a new one for my next birthday, so I should be able to get decent pics posted soon ^_^ I'll try get...

:D Hello everyone - I am indeed a newbie on this forum. I am a fairly new, but very keen young adult aquarist. My parents always kept tropical fish when I was a kid, but as I've got older and into my twenties, myself and my partner have been buying tanks of our own! We currently keep 2...
