    What "extra" Fish equipment do you keep on hand?

    Hey there, In a systematic way, all that serves aquarium and fishes is in double + a ready quarantine/hospital tank + fry net nursery tank + Mont-Roucous bottled-water in case ROsystem breaks down.

    I am sorry...

    I can not agree with you more ! except on a point : you're right usually is the key word :lol: So true ! I'm currently experience this on a German forum about Syngnathus fish, particularly on Microphis deocata that is fascinating (to me).

    You're kidding me :lol:
  21. Avel1896

    I am sorry...

    Noooo not my purpose ! I encourage to choose middle range parameters (whatever they are) rather than the lower extrem or the higher extrem as there is much less risk of making big mistakes.
  22. Avel1896

    I am sorry...

    Could you fix my mistakes ? Would be nice !

  27. Avel1896

    I am sorry...

    Pity as I'm saying it is the proper way, just that the midlle of a range allows not to make too big mistakes (or to not make ???? )

    I am sorry...

    Some of TFF members complain I'm curt so I guess it has to be true. My passion for animals, fishes as it happens, leads (too) often making me filled with too much enthusiams.
