Really? What happens? When you get the fish do they nominate their own shells? Also do you think this set up will be ok:

Dunno, just go to the shop n see which ones are nice and wont grow too big for my tank, any suggestions would be good. I have 10 small shells in there.
I use thread too n it seems to work ok, sometimes it comes off but seems to be fine. My pleco does manage to get it off sometimes too. Mine is java moss though not riccia, sorry just remembered that, cant be much difference.
I have also siliconed my background on but mine is polystyrene but it looks great and sticks nicely, you should be fine. Im adding water soon to my new tank.
do you keep any moss in your tank? I have found ever since i added moss i have had loads of guppy fry. Its only natural that they get eaten so add some moss for a hdin place for them n you will soon have plenty n not know what to do with them all.
http://www.fishforever.co.uk/carbondioxide.html Use this, this is what I have used to set mine up. Still havent got it sealed but it will be working soon i hope.
he is 6 and a 1/2 inches n ive had him for about a year. was told he would be ok in my tank n wouldnt grow too big. If he does get too big i will move him on.
Cheers
Here are some pics of my tank, I updated the light unit, added a background plus I just added CO2 today, still waiting for bubbles. I also have another tank which im going to start cycling next week.
Well thats one vote for puffers atleast. Think i will go with shelldwellers coz they are easier to keep too and I can have more of them. Heard puffers were fun but i could only have two of three.
Havent got them yet ocz i still aint even started my cycle yet but as soon as ido ill get them...
Well went to the fish shop the day n I think i have decided to get shelldwellers, the just look good n its cool when they go into the wee tiny shells. Also it just seemed like everyone was telling me to get them too.
Cool cool, there seems to be some conflicting views however think i would just go with a reflector. What would be the best bulb to put in my jewel rekord? It has a bulb in at the mo but dunno how old it is, it is gonna be a planted tank.
I did the same with the plastic fablon for my hood to match the stand n it looks great. As for gallons it is 15 UK gallons, 70 litres n it is just the light unit that came with it 15 W, not very much.
Dunno bout frogs man think ill stick to fish seen as though i have 25 plants on the way through the post.
So thats 2-0 to the shelldwellers!! 3-0 including the girlfriend!!
Have just bought a 70l tank and have put the sand and substrate in, waiting for plants then ill start the cycle. In the meantime i cant decide whether to puffers or shelldwellers? Want a species tank coz i have a community tank. Any suggestions are muchly appreciated.
Cheers
I prefer to keep live plants coz i thinkit looks more natural, have bought the plants now, just waitin for them to be delivered so ill see what happens, can always transfer them from tnak to tank.
