My P. pictus.

I think others have already answered the question. Gelius is a still or at most sluggish water species. Not suited to a hill stream. I am a bit of a fan of the species actually. I had specimens from several importations, and bred quite large numbers of them for the aquatic shops locally.

I have visited number 29 on several occasions. It is pretty easy to get to for me. It features a lot of typical "large public aquarium displays" which, I suppose, it should, being a large public aquarium. Copenhagen University has an aquarium open to the public, located in Helsingør. It is A LOT...

There are a few old gits around from time to time. Look at the "Joined" dates of the messages here for example...

I'm working with PHP and MySQL to build a new website partition for a BOINC team in England.

Needs ignition. Methane is a more serious greenhouse gas in the atmosphere than the CO2 it converts too when burnt.

A second species, Monodactylus sebae is sometimes, (rarely), seen. These are shorter in the body thus appear more vertically elongated. They lack the yellow colourations, basically silver and black. Care etc. is as with M. argentus.

Be careful with "new" peat. A little does a lot, and if you have a low buffering water, you can drop your pH too far.

There certainly are easier species.

"The boys took a beating...", interesting turn of phrase.

The Swedish site I looked at has two size references, one saying maxing out at 30cm, ~12", the other saying grows in excess of 30cm, but does not elaborate on that. Reading the piece, I doubt they get much larger than 30cm if at all. It talks about their lifestyle, moving into flooded land...

I've also been around for a while.

semifasciolatus is not a fish that grows quickly, I've kept them and recall maybe a year to get towards maximum. The gold type, often known as "schuberti" is usually a little smaller than the regular semifasciolatus, not vastly, but a little.

The wet markets are an inevitable source of trouble. A calm, relaxed animal in its natural environment may be exposed to virii but be healthy and fit enough to deal with it. In the confined environment of the market stalls, they are STRESSED, their systems are coping with this, and combating...

Harlequins are not typical egg scatterers, eggs are laid individually on the under side of plant leaves.

See if Lynchfords will do what you want... https://www.lynchfordaquatics.co.uk/custom-aquarium-quote [email protected] Their shop in Farnborough was my local for a decade. I saw they have a second shop as well now. Good reliable firm 20 years ago, I expect they still are.

Harlequins are not typical egg scatterers, the eggs are laid individually on the undersides of aquatic plant leaves. Does your tank have anything like that they could consider using?

Don't get an altazimuth, they are a real pain, espeacially with larger scopes. You are forever having to track in two directions, (right ascension and declination), at the same time, unless you are exactly on the equator of course. It might be okay on a well set up semi-permenant, (at least)...

Our greenhouse is different in design, but similar in dimensions. It is bolted to a South facing wall not far from our back door. I set it up two years ago and it has produced tomatoes, a few cucumbers and large numbers of peppers and chillies. We have been very pleased with it - it is FAR from...

Where will your piece be presented? I've lived in Denmark for 22 years, the hobby barely exists, I do not know of any fish shops, just a pet shop in Hillerød which has about ten tanks with really basic bread and butter species.

When commenting on an open forum, replies can be read by ALL readers. Newcomers might not know what surface area is or why it is important, and why THEY should think about it. Your comment... >>> The surface area used to be how stock limits were calculated, which meant a 6" deep tank could hold...

Oh, I see, he thinks he knows more than me... how quaint.

>>> And my granny taught me how to suck eggs. I've heard of this, but never actually seen it done or what it means really. Care to demonstrate?

>>> The surface area used to be how stock limits were calculated, which meant a 6" deep tank could hold the same as a 2'6" deep tank. So the move to volume makes sense in that respect. <<< When trying to estimate stocking levels, an important quantity is surface area. It is there that gas...

I guess I tend to still think of my tanks as 48x15x12 inches, I can easily visualise that. What is a little mystifying to me, is the trend to talk about tank size in terms of volume, metric or imperial. The volume says nothing about the surface area, which to me, is important.

When presnted with a picture like that, it is very easy to say "bad parking". What is not clear from the picture is what was there when it was parked. It might have been the only way possible.

Unlikely.

No problem with my computers, or my wife's laptop.

The list linked is not at FishBase.

>>> ember tetra sometimes will eat their fry It is certainly true that most species found in this group would see newly hatched fry of any species simply as live food.

I always used swimmingpool filter sand.

>>> a company called "DTV". If you see a letter "D" in a company name here, you can be pretty sure it stands for "Danmark" or "Danske". Like our public service channels, "DR", stands for "Danmarks Radio". A lot of things are like that in Denmark. (Denmark in Danish is spelt with an "a").

Our cable comes from a company called "DTV". I don't see why that would be of interest, but then, this thread is a bit on the edge of weird already.

The pH of your tank is absolutely NOT crazy low. The fish I saw in the video are acidic fish in any case. I used to have to work hard to get my pH into an acidic range.

Err, no.

They are commonly called Mono's, arrising from their linnaen name Monodactylus argentus, I, however, always called them Malayan Angels, as that is what they were generally called in the 1970's.
