One regret I have is not using a temperature controller for my heaters on tropical tanks. Eventually heaters fail and destroy everything you have worked for, unless you have a temperature controller. I consider it an essential piece of kit now. Won't have a heated tank now without it.

I haven't posted on here in a long time, but used to a lot. Ok this is an odd one. I have wanted Caridina Babaulti Malaya 'Red' for literally years, and I just had the opportunity to acquire it. However, I needed to buy 50 of them which is too many for me. So I need someone to take 20 off my...

Available now.

Yes I have them available now. PM me.

Ramshorn snails will eat this algae. Also 'some' big amanos.

I may in a couple months. Will let you know. Cheers

More available.

Nerites can't be fed. You need to add algae-fied stones or move the tank so it gets some direct sunlight.

Would love to buy some from you this evening to save my fish. Drop me a line. £20 if I can pick it up tonight.   Cheers.

or you could go the insanely overcrowded route...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df1LwvR7o-c

thanks I am aware of the problem. shopping around for a 200l tank to house them in atm- but from the sounds of things this might not even be enough given your problems with only 6 beckfordi with 1:2 male/female ratio in 130l! I will add a large 'scare them' fish (that can't really do them harm)...

What did you end up doing in the end?   I have a group of 9 one-lined pencilfish (nannostomus unifasciatus) in a 20 liter tank with an even mix of male/females and they are crazy aggressive until the lights off. At which point they peacefully school. During the day they maintain little...

More now available. Cheers.

MTS occur pretty much globally.

Thanks for sharing!

what is a tiger snail?

Hiya - so I bought some Nannostomus unifasciatus today - and in my opinion one of them has 3 spots of ich on him - bought inadvertently, and the rest are clean. The tank they are in has plants and inverts (shrimp and snails). The recommended treatment (without medication) is to bring the tank up...

Sold out until further notice.

  Excuse me, but this is my thread.   It's £2 each snail and I am in located in the UK.

Got these from Germany - they grow to about 1cm and are an awesome black and white mosaic colour! This is one of the most beautiful (and useful) freshwater snails. It will absolutely shred any type of 'smearing' algae - like green spot algae (nothing will remove this from your anubias but a...

Have Neocaridina simoni simoni and can bring to London.

Hey Killie keepers. I am looking for Moina and was wondering if any of you have some to sell. Cheers

My yellow and Orange tylos ate java fern and coral pellia - but that was it. Eventually I got rid of them because of it - but they dont tend to kill the plant outright but just take chunks out of the leaves.

I have some blues available. will PM.

Depends on the algae you got...For all round algae control best team is amanos and ramshorns - though it you have greenspot algae nothing beats a nerite, cherries can be a nice back-up too. At 10 gallons I would only get one nerite - unless it's clithon corona - then you can get 2.

Ya - basically this 'globe' exploits the fact that these shrimp are extremely tough - but they are not well in there...Dont buy them in the globe.

Nerite snails cannot be fed directly, only through having algae on hard surfaces that they randomly frequent will they be able to feed. Put your tank in some direct sunlight or grow more algae another way if you wish to feed it.

Looking for varieties of miniature daphnia - Got some moina macrocopa from BigC a couple years ago but my culture collapsed after a recent move and he no longer seems to be around. Can anyone recommend a source? Cheers.

Got dwarf water lettuce we could swap with...

now sold.

Plants: Lomariopsis Lineata, Suswassertang. This plant is totally unkillable. Attach like moss and it becomes a great nursery for shrimps, etc. Will throw in some Mini-water lettuce too. Quantity for sale: Big ol' bag Delivery or Collection: Either Sales price: £4 Postage & Packaging: £1...

pond or ramshorns which are the normal plant hitchhikers will work fine...not so sure about MTS.

Moves a bit like a bumble bee? = ostracods aka seed shrimp.

This is why snails;   http://www.lfkc.co.uk/index.php?topic=472.msg3619#msg3619

I culture daphnia in bottles on the windowsill. Always add snails to their tank though. Makes all the difference.

Wow. Those red-nose eggs look much bigger than the ones we get over here. I believe you that the young don't need a saltwater stage, would love to see some babies when you get them!

I do. PM me.
