hi welcome to the forum, lots of betta lovers on here to share info with :good:

Hi Chris welcome to the forum youve come to the right place as you appreciate that you did things wrong but hopefully the fish will be ok and we can help you maintain a healthy tank and save you getting in to trouble with your little one we need to have a good look at the fish so once you get...

Hi Natliey welcome to the forum, your not too far from me some decent shops by you :good:

I kept one before and sold it as I got sick of feeding it all the time which was only difficult due to the shrimp i kept in the tank

true and not as b ig I think the firemouths Ive seen look terrible I recently got some decent ones that are i my big tank but they dont look as dark and as big or flare up like the ones I had as a kid

i once had an ornate from young and I never saw it really eat for about 6 months then it just fed non stop with all the othe rfish

I used to have a small group of 4 ropefish and they were etremely easy to feed eating whatever went in, particularly catfish pellet food, frozen brine etc and prawns and mine were active all the time as well. They look lovely when they get to a good 16 inch or so

where abouts in the north west are you?

I have a Juwel Vision 180 its a 3ft tank and it has 4 x39w t5 bulbs but I want to improve on that for a clam and anenome and better coral growth It would seem halide is the way to go but I know nothing at all about them what am I loking for when I look to buy one, any tips and advice but help...

that looks cool I like that what corals you going to put in? zoas?

Nice fish, I have a Delhezi about 13 inch but hes got markings totally different to yours??? Ive never had a bichir not feed, in my experience the find food if they want it, mine competes with a very greedy giraffe cat and still gets enough cos both he and the ornatapinnis both have thick...

Looking spot on making me want a sun coral again :good:

eh? :look:

very sad as she put a lot of time and effort into the section

I suppose its true as my 21 inch fire eel looks fine in my five foot and he is very active, i wouldnt keep a 21 inch noraml fish in there Steve any pics of your eel?

Mini Matt that tank is ace

hes cool never seen those before ive been thinking of a wrasse need to read up on them your duncans amazing so much better than mine

have you go tthe tank set up already, im no expert but do have a 180l reef and i have a fire angel , 2 clowns and intend to get a gramma. on the face of it id say yes but not taking into account the wrasse and jaw fish read up on the brittle stars and lettuce sea slug they may not be the best...

rummys all day long one of my favoyurite fish and look ace in a group and once theyve settled in your tank

looking good.... the milky bar egg of course :hyper:

Ive got no idea what to do with lighting, if I want Metal Halides what kind of cost would that be for a tank thsi size?

ha ha Im getting my place in the queue to watch as well Mbou. Good to see you back :good:

the duncans beautiful, now mines settled its coming on in leaps and bounds. Has yorus fed yet?

100 kg of live rock? Id be surprised if 180 litres, is it 180 gallons? post the dimensions and we can go from there

Good advice from Lissette there Marine fish are great and although a newbie myself with marine its a great area of the hobby to get into albeit more expensive I have a Juwel 180litre tank which I would suggest is a good tank size to go with. Your main expenses are things such as liverock, RO...

Im a puffer keeper myself and wouldnt keep them with other fish simply because of the damage they CAN do. I cant give you specifics but what about the smaller spiny eels?

I think the issue is the dangers of collecting the plecs more than being extinct as far as Blue eyeds were concerned. Ive seen the ones in Rare Aquatics and owned one about 15 yrs ago and theres loads of cheaper and nicer plecs For me Blue phantom or green or a sultan plec which isnt on your...

more cardinals would look great or rummys (my faves) or emperors. do you have similar water to me? I have great suxcess with giant vallis?

I love the look of this so far and cant wait to see it progress, the wood looks spot on with some swords and cardinals would be very nice

any updates on this tank James would love to see how its getting on

the toadstool has grown pretty well although its been moved around a fair bit lately and has been sulking for a while. once its happy and spread out it looks lovely

Love the royal gramma I think that will be next addition in mine, I had a lovely one in my first river reef tank that used to amuse me the way it darted in and out of the rocks

its in my plans to upgrade the ligting although it wont be immediate due to funds, Im goingh to start pulling my finger out and do some overtime

cheers chaps I know I shouldnt have but at 36 Im still prone to petulant behaviour now I know where my daughter gets it from :) Ive been dosing phyto anyway and been syringing right next to the mantle for the clam and the malu had a prawn last night as do the mini maxi and fungia once a while

Fantastic news welcome to the moderating team Matt :good:

your clown knife is lovely have one myself that ive only just moved to my large tank hoping that he kicks on now and grows a fair bit

well a couple of additions this weekend been a bit naughty if Im being honest but hey ho Got a Malu anenome off a mate so havent paid for it, its very white which Im aware is a lack of Phyto or whatever its called Now this is where I was naughty I got a maxima clam thats been in my LFS for...

ha ha hes a stunner mate just looking at mine now my L128 is very active maybe its a bigger plec thing but the L200 I never see :good:

Hi the Uaru and severum are lovely fish however you have an odd mix of fish for that size tank Ive kept a large pair of Uaru before in a 700 litre tank and I can say that your tank will be too small for them and the severum.If you ge ta bigger tank though they are beautiful fish to keep...
