Another question for all you D.I.Yers out there......... As most of you will now know my 72x24x24 tank houses Oscar my South American Red Tail Catfish one of the problems with these fish is that they will try to eat anything that fits in their moutns and that means ANYTHING :0 The problem...

OK how many of us out there have either made our own tanks or bought secondhand tanks of an odd size that you cannot get readymade hoods for at the lfs????? Well i have bought several new set ups but being a family man with limited finances i very often buy s/hand tanks without hoods and alot...

Try these links and see what you think ...........http://www.system-2000.co.uk/cooler.html http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/chillersupplies/ They seem to be mainly aimed at the marine reef aquarium keeper but im sure they should do freshwater too, there are contact numbers there so my advice...

What was it you said you were feeding them again? lmao :laugh: My advice to you is to add a couple of aspirine and call me in the morning if he's still got a headache lol :P :laugh:

Yeah and even on thier backs :0 Clown Loach is a very appropriate name i think lol :laugh:

I just had the fright of my life!!!!!!!!!1 Looked into my 2foot rearing on tank that contains along with other things my Freshwater Shrimp (large filter feeders) and what did i see?, the scattered remains of a shrimp :0 :angry: My first reaction was to sit back and think of what could of...

Perhaps we should change the greeting note on the forum to read........... WELCOME TO THE HOME FOR THE CRIMINALLY INSANE AND BACKWARDS THINKING!!!!!!!!!! lmfao :P :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Youre all off your heads lol :laugh:

12 days without food is nothing at all to be concerned about as when fish are imported they are starved for a few days by the wholesaler in the country they are to be exported from so that they do not pollute the water in their transport bags, then they are very rarely fed by the wholesaler in...

Well i never knew that lol Perhaps i should stop feeding Oscar stray cats then lmao :P Just kiddin ppl lol :look:

Now dont go trying to impress us with those big words lol...you'll get us all confused :look: We all know that youve got a dictionary on your lap lol :P :laugh:

Do you not have a friend / neighbour who can come in and feed them once a day? As for automatic feeders im afraid that i know nothing about them m8 :what: , i know that ehiem make a good one but ive never had the need to try one out. In my opinion its always best to get someone to feed them...

Yeah m8 its like i always say.............. Thats nature baby lol

Were they like a cross between a Pleco and a Ray? If so they might of been the Hong kong Pleco's discussed in the Catfish section :)

I think it could be the r/o water m8 Put simply its just too pure for your small set up and is a breeding ground for algae..........is the tank near a window too? I had a m8 with the same prob and it was the r/o water causing it as when he stopped using r/o water it soon cleared up. But i...

I'm sorry to hear that m8, what exactly were they housed with? Some fish will attack small pleco's but its rare that they actually kill them if they are just community fish :what:

Does anyone else apart from me use a Fluidized Bed Sand Filter and if so how do you rate it? I got mine out of shear desperation 2 weeks after setting up my 6x2x2 tank for my R.T.C and being unable to keep ammonia and nitrite levels low enough to be deemed acceptable, my lfs advised one of...

OH and by the way they are really simple to install lol :P

Aha yet again i can help lol :thumbs: The product you are looking for is a power centre available at all good lfs's for about a fiver lol Algarde do a more fancy one at about £9.99 but is it really worth it when most of us hide them away at the back of the tank? lol These units usually have...

Is this the pleco that your talking about? http://www.nfis.com/~hartland/aqua/fish.html If so they seem to do better in colder aquariums ie gold fish tanks etc but im told that they should be fine in a tropical set up :) I have seen these fish many times in my lfs but for some reason...

Good idea on the Ammolock m8 :) .........some ppl use stress coat in a similar way but i DO NOT advise this as the product is in my opinion UNSAFE!!!!!!!!!! My reasons for this are these.......... AQUARIUM PHARMACEUTICALS who manufactur this product claim that the product "Forms a synthetic...

What do we all feed our fish? There's an awful lot of choice out there in the lfs's and i'm not just talking about flake lol Feeding flake is fine theres nothing wrong with it but do you realise just how much your fish could benefit from a more varied diet? add to that the fact that some fish...

You should be able to get them for about a tenner each'ish lol And yes they will prove useful after wards as in the event of a power cut you can use them to keep your fish alive adn as well as that if you end up going any distance to get fish you can use them then lol Everyone in my opinion...
