yeah i do know that 6 is too many, am very annoyed at myself ! but yes i think i will take back 4 of them, and leave two of the same size, a male and a female, and then bulk up the tank with plants, they are getting along at the moment though. and i will try very hard to get a refund, or just...

After agreeing with myself that i would only buy 2 Dwarf Puffers for my 8.5 gal, i went to go and buy some and they seemed SO small, i was kinda wondering if maybe 2 was not enough, it seemed like it was a bit of a waste of a tank, soo i asked the guy how many i could get in there, and he said...

oh ok, well i dont have any bottom feeders really, except for my bn plec who rarely comes out and is fed well anyway. so no-one has heard that its bad to keep it frozen?

Hey all, so origionally i defrosted the frozen bloodworm in a cup with some tank water and then fed it to the fish, but i found that quite a lot was falling to the bottom and so i then decided to keep the bloodworm frozen and throw the whole cube in, they all seemed to enjoy pulling the separate...

My LFS have a small container at the till which have live daphnia, small bloodworm and large bloodworm. it changes week to week with what they have. sorry no help whatsoever to you but i thought id say.

yeah, i think i agree with you, even though there are plus points to having a few tanks, like you can have non-community fish in seperate tanks or whatever. i agree with you though.

thats what i would of thought about the fake plants, i may just reduce it to one puffer and 3 ottos, will give a bit more margin for error. Thanks Sam

I read in most of the pinned articles that if you're planning on keeping more than one dp there should be plenty of plants so that they can get out of each others sight for a while. would it be ok to keep 2 Dps and 3 ottos in a 8.5 gal tank? too much ? and also would it be ok to separate them...

just look it up in the yellow pages, they will definatly have them listed in there

I will be getting 2 Dwarf Puffers and 3 Ottos in a 27.5 litre tank, i have a fluval 1+ so far, im thinking that this probably isn't enough as i know that dp are very messy, so what would you suggest? shall i just get another 1+ or...? Cheers Sam

so just as soon as you can see it having difficulty eating this needs to be done? and is it essential to file? if i just cut it will it leave the little guy with sharp corners that will be painful to it? (like when you chip a tooth and its really painful in your cheek) what size do you trim to...

a Ram?

Frozen bloodworm, they all love it lol

Well i dunno to be honest, i think you would be better asking in the oddballs institute, but i dont know much about the raphael, it might be ok, how big is your tank?

around what cost? has it gone yet?

Hi, As said dwarf puffers dont need sw or brackish, but they are very aggressive and very messy, so they need to be kept in a species only tank (with the exception of some otos as a cleanup crew) with i think about 3 or 4 gallons for territory each. if you go into the fish profiles and click on...

great community fish, had no problems with mine.

lol!

a really stunning reef, although in my opinion i would make the tank a bit smaller and then have that extra amount of money to spend on your reef and make it amazing.. unless you have an unlimited budget which leaves me a very jealous man !

im sorry i wasnt meaning to be horrible or anything, i was just making sure. guys i was just unsure. sorry if it came accross the wrong wy. sorry kkjones.

The tank is like 3 days old is this quote right? do you mean weeks/months?

i was thinking along the lines of 2 puffers and 3 ottos, and yes, i have done the research lol cheers Sjc

umm well, i dont really know the hardness? :blush: how do you check that out? and nitrate:8 ammonia:0 PH:7-8 nitrite: 0

hi guys ive just bought a 38.5 litre tank for some dwarf puffers, how many do you think i could fit in there with ottos as a clean up crew? Cheers S

Cool, but i havnt got a spare tank at the moment, so would it be ok just keeping them in one of those hatcheries? i spoke to the man in the shop yesterday and he said that they wont hatch in hard water, so i would have to buy r.o water. so i think it would have to be the damp peat method, is...

well i just bought a female ram for my other one, my dad bought it cos the only female i vould find was near his work, so im not sure if its bolivian or german, so yeah i just introduced it to the community and immediatly they started swimming together(a good sign) but the male started getting...

im not really that sure, i havnt bought one yet. ill just see how it goes, if i will the auction etc. cheers all

an airline? how do i do that? my water i use in the aquarium is really well oxyginated, so what about a hatchery? could i use that? would i put the eggs and peat straight in that? sorry, this is a new kinda thing for me, so i apologise for my n00byness. Sammo

yea, i do, actually i just made the time that its switched on much longer then.

sorry, i didnt really think that the species mattered. i bought 20 Aphyosemion australe eggs that come in peat. what do you think is the easier method? S

Hi all, well i just found a guy who sells killifish eggs and got it all sorted, but the instructions he sent arent too clear, i dont think his english is that great (hes german) so could i have some advice on how you hatch them, do you leave them out of the water untill they have hatched? that...

lush cheers

sweet, so i would jsut buy a 'hatchery' is it? one of those tghings that clips onto the tops of the tank

baby brine shrimp and.. micro worm?

Lush, thanks for that, yea its pretty well planted, but i havnt got any floating plants, i have bogwood though. would it take to an upside down flower pot? how would i raise the eggs? what do i feed the fry? S

Nooo, well basically you know that timer thing that you stick into the socket and then plug your appliance into and you can set what time it allows electricity through? so for example you would plug a lamp into it and set it to come on at 7 o'clock to 9 in the evening so potential burglers dont...

is it ok for the lights if i put them on that timer thingy that you use when you go on holiday in your house? that way its really nice to wake up with the light on and it turns itself off when i go to school, leaving the algae level down. is this ok for the lights?

Im not rrrrrrreally sure i think they might be quite expensive, i might b wrong here. i know that my lfs has one and they sell r.o water. one of the tff sponsers is about osmotics, might want to check that out. sorry i dont know that much about this whole thing.

Do you mean a reverse osmosis machine? i think basically it takes tap water and removes all the bad chemicals and metals. hope that was what u were talking about?

lush, that was what i had hoped, yer mine is really shy, hes brown and blacky/grey and hides on the otherside of the bog wood, i think thats where he hangs or underneath the filter, (its about an inch off the bottom) what cory would you recommend? have different species got different temperments...
