i will be getting my new FH at the end of the month and knowing that its probably going to be a lone fish in the tank due to its possible aggressive nature i am willing to try a pleco to seee how it goes. so its got to be a tough pleco just incase the FH does have a nip from time to time. im...

probably not worth a trip from brum though tbh. its quite an expensive lfs, you may be better trying shirley aquatics.

no plans to breed him im affraid. i just wanted another wet pet, i miss Keith (my oscar)..... :lol: :sad: ive always wanted a FH but never came accross a decent one anywhere and all the UK shop bought fish seem a bit drab and colourless etc compared to the Thailand equivalent. so ive gone and...

yes take a look here and you will see him :hey: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/401448-new-fh-coming-at-th-end-of-the-month/page__p__3378217__fromsearch__1#entry3378217 yes ive seen that but also been told that the chingmix and ocean free XO are second to none with excellent...

i personaly would add to the groups you have. this will give you a more natural feel to the tank and the fish will act more naturally giving a much better impact on the tank overall. regarding the cherry shrimp they will be a nice treat for the rams im affraid

FISH NOW SOLD :)

hes in wigston, leicester. so not far mate. he doesnt drive so they would be collecting.

ive been looking into getting some fodd directed at flowerhorn cichlids and just wondered if any one had used them? the ones im looking at are chingmix and XO, it seems not very openly available here in the UK and quite expensive when postage has been added from America and Thailand etc. so any...

pier aquatics in wigan is very good if you want to travel a bit to get decent stock. also welcome to the forum :good:

T1KARMANN is the guy you refer to i think. with his stocking if he didnt do water changes then he woukd be in trouble.... are you sure its not on a overflow constant water change system meaning he doesnt actually do any water changes as it does it itself... :unsure:

hes just text me and has 3 left and wants £10 for them

rummy nose tetras and harlequin rasboras will stand no chance up against the likes of convicts and geos. the firemouth can be a pest at times and may cause the keyholes into hididng as they are quite a timid fish in comparison. if you must keep the tetras and harlequins then get more as they...

the veijas he want £30 for the 2 that he has but im sure he will be open to offers :hey: and the rainbows ive no idea but i think there are 5 in his group but they arent an expensive fish.... just be warned though the veijas do get quite big and they are currently about 5-6 inch and 8-9 inch if...

having a decent sized group of tiger barbs will keep them busy among their species otherwise they can be a bit nippy and a bit of a pain... rts - its really hit and miss with these guys they are mainly a bottom half dweller and with corys and bolivian rams in that area also it could get a bit...

what size tank do you have? mixing african and american cichlids isnt the norm but it can work. he has aequedens diadema, rainbow cichlids, oscars, veijas up for grabs if any of them interest you? if its african cichlids that you want then try maidenhead aquatics at stapleton nr hinckley. they...

What cichlids are you looking for? I have a friend selling quite a few at the minute

i would agree with ZZ here and look at the smaller species in a 180. rainbow cichlids would be a nice fish to have in a tank that size but if you start going bigger then you may only be able to keep 1 or 2 fish.... also your current stock would be fine with rainbow cichlids and smaller. maybe a...

there is a great write up done by Tolak on here that may be worth a search for :good:

defo not a GT. although may not be 100% a blue acara either.... the thing is with aequidens species is that they will cross breed and to find a 100% genuine blue acara these days is quite a hard thing. im not saying it is but theres a chance... but not a GT and a stunning fish, nice find :good:

i think ill close this thread as it seems to have gotten out of hand. we do not tolerate name calling or giving people insults etc and 100% trying to paste the forum with bad language. :no: op if you still need to find an answer then please start another thread as i think this one has run its...

try ND aquatics they are custom built tanks tha are much cheaper than the shelf bought fluval, juwel tanks etc and probably much better quality :good:

Livestock: breeding pair of oscars Age and condition: excellent condition Quantity for sale: 1 pair Reason for Sale: stock change Delivery or Collection: collection Sales price: £60 ono Postage & Packaging: n/a Location: leicestershire Photograph: Im advertising these fish for a friend who is...

angels now reserved :D

fill it with any ceramic media like biomax etc then add a layer of floss on the top to catch any smaller particles that manage to get through the rest of the sponges etc :good:

i had to make a tough choice the other day involving my 2 motoro rays and i decided that i could not afford to get them the bigger tank they will soon need so they are being rehomed at the end of the month :sad: this gives me an empty 5x2x2 so the need for another wet pet was needed :hey...

angels still for sale guys..... 8-)

if i were to upgrade for them it would be around the 8x3x2 area especially as full grown adults. my intentions were to try and raise pups myself but for certain reasons the new tank has to be put on hold or even cancelled all together. they arent cramped yet but their growth rate has been very...

ill be keeping the new fish a mystery until ive actually got it in my tank just incase anything falls through..... i doubt it will but you never know. one day i may get the rays back, who knows...? im really gonna miss them as i feel quite attatched to them after growing them up from tiny pups...

due to me not being able to get the rays a bigger tank at this moment in time as expected i have decided to let them go..... :sad: they arent going far and to a mate so if i do get a bigger tank i may be able to get them back. they have reached a size of 9-10 inches from about 4 inches when i...

just thought i would add a new updated pic of this tank as ive not added anything to this journal for a while. ive moved a few plants about and added some new anubias.

i dont know what are you thinkng? pm me to find out but only if you can you keep a secret...... only a select few know :hey:

you wont regret getting the 6 instead of 4 mate they are so much better in bigger groups :good:

I now have the remaining 4 leopoldi angelfish up for grabs. Bigger than in the original pics on this advert now and stunning fish.... £40 takes them ono. Need them gone before the end of the month to make way for my new fishy that can't be in the same tank as these.......

im leaning towards it being a true jag but im not just gonna buy it for the sake of it.... also the difference between true and false is unbelievably noticable when coloured up. google them to see the difference.

i have a group of 7 in my tank and i think i have 3 females and 4 males. they all get on pretty well except when they spawn, so far ive had 2 pairs form from the group. they are very hard to sex if not impossible at a young age and the only real way of sexing them is by looking at their...

Martin this was my first thought but wasnt sure about the white dots along its lateral line. none of my previous oncinus have had these that were obvious anyway and the pics on the net show them clearly on the morrowi which made me think it could be the false jag or maybe a cross breed.... the...

thats a pretty big pH reduction :crazy: would this happen gradually or pretty fast? if gradually i guess it wont be too much of an issue. when did you retest the pH minnnt? how long after adding CO2? if the drop in pH is so much will a 50% water change once a week adding water of pH 7.6 to a...

ooooh didnt think of that..... how much lower will it go? would a diffuser at each end of the tank be of any advantage or not?

im affraid you wont be fitting any large cichlids in that tank so forget tha idea... as for medium sized cichlids there are numerous to choose from. a lot depends on your lfs or if your prepared to travel for the right fish too. commonly available medium sized cichlids that spring to mind are...

£20 anyone :unsure:
