Thankyou Branjie :flowers: Thanks :)

Hi I just set up my lights last night and the LFS said you could use the higher wattage lights so I got them but when I assembled it all and turned the lights on the lights would turn on then turn off straight away I am thinking the wattage must be too high for them (it could be a fault in the...

Hi Bozza they just did a road test on the Nutrafin Co2 kit and a guy had a 3 foot planted tank and put 2 x Nutrafin Co2 kit (one at each end) and it was enough co2 his plants really flourished they looked fantastic so getting another Nutrafin Co2 kit is an option :) I am thinking of perhaps...

Hi Discus Lover thankyou for your response :) I wont keep the tiger barbs with Angels I have heard many times of them tearing apart angels before (in other peoples tanks) and I just don't want to take the chance because I would be very upset by a blood bath. I have a friend whom is a...

Great looking tanks :) I agree with Tokis-Phoenix you should only keep one red tailed shark otherwise they will pack hunt the others as well as try and take each other out it may not be happening now but this will happen eventually. When they get bigger it is a good idea to trade them in to the...

What a fantastic pic ..... but yes is a little creepy its like alien meets predator :lol:

Comment please ... :look:

A minimum of 6 Barbs will be suitable but if you have the room 8-10 will be alot happier the more you have the less fighting they will do with others and amongst themselves.

Some possible tank mates for the Golden Gourami's are any of the bellow mentioned: Guppies Platies Mollies Swordtails Tetras Rasboras Danios Rainbowfish Barbs (not tiger) Loaches Plecos Scavenger Catfish

Ok so my I set up my 200L (3 foot) tank (with stand and hood) got a filter, heater gravel and started the cycle process a little while ago …….my200L tank finally cycled 4 days ago so I added my 6 Tiger Barbs (who were living in another tank) I then put a blue background at the back of the...

Would you like a pic of my Copper BF HM rosetail (the one in my signature)?

I have finally named my beautiful boy............ I loved all the names mentioned and I just couldn't pick one ...............then after thinking some more and remembering how xuchilbara suggested using a thai name I thought he should have a Thai name since he was born in Thailand and I thought...

You are prob better waiting till tommorrow and using Aquarium salt it is going to be more effective.

He is BEAUTIFUL :wub:

Yes and prob a bit hard to hide 5 x 2 litre bottles in my tank :)

GIve it a try if your research indicates it will work :) They should be fine in the hospital tank until you can treat them tommorrow :) Good luck to the poor little guys.

cool good job I am looking for a job CO2 set up for my 200L but it looks like I am going to have to go for the expensive gas bottle aproach :sad: man ... this hobby send you broke thats for sure. BTW your angle fish are very cute :)

Thanks Dave ATM I only have one plant bulb going into LFS tommorrow to get a double housing and prob end up with 110W or there abouts if my memory serves me correct (I cant quite remember the exact wattage of the lights I decided on). The above DIY CO2 would prob not be a good option for me I...

OK so here is a good plan of attack: Treatment: Change water Vacuum gravel Add aquarium salt Treat with copper sulfate or antibiotic Discontinue carbon filtration during treatment

:sad: as I am sure you already know Columnaris is a bacterial infection it often mistaken for a fungal infection How did you treat it last time?

I would not soely name the fish because of the character in the movie I also love the name .........it is the characters name not the film star's name and I love what that character represented and I love Cuba (where the movie is set) so he wouldn't be named after an actor.

Possibly sounds like fungal in which case needs to be treated asap once you put the pic up will be able to tell for sure, probably brought on from stress ie. getting beaten up and losing an eye.

:blush: :lol:

I love Javier but I don't know if my bf will be cut If I call my boy after a guy I was drooling over in a movie ;) do you think he will feel threatened at all? I really like the meaning of Alonzo pretty cool fitting name for a fighter but I like the sound of Javier but I don't want to upset my...

:lol: What is her fish of choice? So which name out of the spanish ones do you like best guys?

Yes it means of the Dawn I had a look at Thai names but I really wasn't fond of how they sounded but you are right it would be a good idea to give him a name native to his home land especially since I bought him from Thailand so he was born there. He he he it wont be hard to win her over Betta's...

I am 26 and have been keeping fish for on and off for about 4 years (manily guppies and gold fish) only became serious fish hobbist in the last year (tropical, cold water and betta).
