it should be fine for a short while. the only thing is if there is any aggression the fish wont have much room to escape but if they are young fish they may not bother each other yet.

now you all have it wrong im a Beano fan :lol:

yes now the rays have gone the FH will be having the 5x2x2 with just a gibbi plec to keep him company (hopefully)

all being well the FH is being collected on thursday :hyper: planned tank mates are 1 x Flowerhorn and if he accepts it 1 x Gibbi the Fh is going to be my new wet pet so i only have the plec to help clean up a bit as long as the FH accepts him as a tank mate that is :crazy:

much better idea. i think the magazine is over priced and dont get it anymore as it didnt interest me any more...

i pick him up on thursday :hyper:

what size are the rams? the reason i ask is because its pretty impossible to sex them at the young age the shops get them at so the guarentee of getting males only is not great. i have 7 bolivians bought from 2 different shops and have 4 males and 3 females, the only way to be sure about the sex...

moved for you :) the EBJD can be a bit different to keep. i had a small juvi similar to yours and he grew fast for the first few months but when he hit 3 inches ish he seemed to stop..... the diet was the same and water changes were the same so i have no idea what happened to him. i moved him...

if i remember right the foam pads are a hexagon shape with a hole running through the middle. if this is the case then get genuine black and blue sponges for the best fit but just use floss for the top basket. floss can be bought for about £6 for a large bag full and will last for ages. if the...

Winston and Flo were taken to their new home yesterday and it was a right mission trying to catch them :crazy: i dread to think how hard it would be to catch a fully grown ray!!!!!! they have settled in well with their new owner so i hear so thats good news :good: i now have a 5x2x2 tank...

FISH NOW SOLD :)

well the tanks been running for 11 months and had mature media added to it from another tank that is a good few years mature..... ive just spent the last few hours cleaning the tank, rocks filter intakes, heaters etc etc etc.... i really dont want to be doing this too often with a large...

the set up is- 5x2x2 tank 2 x FX5 filters 2 x 300w rena heaters unipac limpopo sand 2 x arcadia eco aqua (150mm) led lights stocking is- 2 x motoro rays 4 x angelfish so my issue is that i cant shift the diatoms. ive tried a black out ive tried reducing the light, increasing the light...

dam another secret is out...... :/ :lol:

my talking catfish were awesome... they would even come and pinch the cichlid pellets from the surface amongst large cichlids! they were always out at feeding time but did hide quite a bit during the day i think thats their nature. bare with the cat as they do take time to settle in and become...

shouldnt it be tiretrack eel? :X

ah ok that explains the pinks then.... the pic of the marmalade plec would be good to see as ive never heard of a fish with that name before.

oh ok i got the wrong end of the stick there.... :blush: so we would end up with a list of shop names that people have had a good experience at, is that right? if so leaving no comments could be a bit misleading as if the person got a good deal on a filter and added it to the list, members...

i am due to go away for a few days and wondered what was the best way to deal with my tank.... im dosing EI and usually do a 50% water change every monday. the tank gets dosed monday - saturday with ferts with sunday the rest day. i also add liquid carbon everyday. my neighbour is ok to feed...

yeah i agree it could be of value but trusting people to leave reviews could become a mod nightmare :crazy: :lol:

good advice given from snowflake there. the only downside to it is no passing trade and people being put off by having fish posted. what you have to remember is that if someone want a pair of say altum angelfish then you would have to buy a box full. you could have the rest for months before...

hatchet fish are a very interesting fish but you will have to see if they are compatable with higher temps that discus need

i also had a tiny EBJD that grew very fast to about 3-4 inches then didnt seem to get any bigger.... i sold it to a friend and ive not seen it for a while so no idea how big it is these days.. they do have a reputation for having a short life. if you search the forum you will find a member that...

yeah the L155 get pretty huge. i remember seeing one at oddballs. i dont think a syno would be able to stand up to a FH tbh. the more armour the better i think. maybe i shouldnt have sold my megalodoras :sad:

i know of a few sites that have a feedback/comments area for people that have bought items from fellow members and 1 site even had a trusted sellers subforum. the only thing with this kind of thing is that if someone isnt completely happy with their items then another members name could be...

wow loving all of those species mike... especially the L24 and L114 2 plecos that ive always fancied tbh but very pricey and hard to find at a decent size...

can you get a bigger or close up picture? its very hard to see from these pics

as stated in your other topic thats a tiretrack eel not a fire eel.... why the need to feed live foods?

it seems a very mixed combination you have for your stocking, how big is the tank? as the eel and mayan cichlid will get very big.... so far i see neons, tire track eel, mayan cichlid and african cichlids :crazy:

indeed but the video is named "Fire eel - One year old - Feeds on Neon Tetra"

thats not a fire eel either..... :no:

why dont you reserve a few corys and once the quarentine of the neons is done then pick them up. if you add more fish to a quarentine tank then the whole process will have to start again due to the new fish. 2 weeks minimum really but the longer you can quarentine the better. if they seem ok up...

EBJD - electric blue jack dempsey :good:

:hyper: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

sounds like you had a bad time with your FX5's.... mine have been running without any issues for well over a year. i must admit they are big machines and a measure up will be a good idea to see if the cabinet will hold it..... also new the prices have gone up silly amounts. i paid £139 brand...

the aquis is a decent filter, ive had a few of them a few years ago but the smaller versions. i dont know if they have changed any over the last few years but mine were pretty reliable and quiet. ive currently got 4 FX5 and cant fault them tbh. the only down side to them is that without a lot...

cheers ;) i know that the FH is a seriously aggressive fish, or can be, but im wanting to try and add a few smaller tank mates in with him. ive been told that african cichlids are a good choice due to their fiesty nature and toughness so would a group of jewel cichlids work? if not how about...

Hello mate. as stated above i doubt it will ever happen due to the fact that we would basicalliy calling those people selling the fish bad fish keepers etc. if people are selling them as they have got too big for their tank then they should be well aware that they need a bigger tank at the...

Hi mike, glad you saw this thread i was hoping you would see it. FH diet is quite a high protein one tbh and plenty of it 2-3 times a day... it doesnt really have to be a plec, any catfish will do but i guessed that with the armour plating they stand the best chance. marmalade plec...
