    Wild Red Spotted Peru Angelfish Tank

    :grr: must have been a fluke....... :lol: im really loving the bolivians, the colouration is superb. possibly better than GBR's. if they continue to spawn i may try them in a breeder tank and see what happens :hey:

    Compatability

    i had the same issues with plec poo at one time and on light coloured sand it stood out a mile. the worst plec i had for it was a panaque but with it being a wood eater and several pieces of wood in the tank it had constant food :sick: like you it put me off plecs for good until recently when i...

    Large Empty Tank And Thinking Of Oscars.....

    yeah i totally understand what your saying but there are certain fish that just wont live in peace and some that are worth trying if its what you really want. it seems a shame in a huge tank but if i were to do this again then i would buy them as juvis and grow them up together, this may give...

    i dont think a pair of fully grown chocs would like it in a 4x2x2, infact its probably too small for 1 fully grown choc..... texas cichlids are central american and probably way too tough for the likes of oscars and chocs tbh. i tried 2 in with my s. american fish and they battered them...

    Minimum Tank Size

    i had a breeding pair of angels in a 620 (90l) and they were fine although not 100% fully grown. if your looking at a group of these then the bigger the tank the better really as with any fish... i have 8 adult angels in a 5ft tank and once fully grown they will fill it pretty well, although...

    Is This Jaguar Cat Worth The Risk?

    Wills I've just been looking on the net and I think it is a false Jaguar catfish. Maybe even a cross breed as it does have some patterning..... Not the real deal so its not for me. Lloyd be carefull if looking for more than 1 of these as they will fight each other and are very territorial...

    Freshwater Flounder

    pm Neil what he cant tell you isnt worth knowing tbh. all i can say about these fish is that there are many that require brackish conditions even though sold as freshwater fish. they are not very competetive eaters so you have to stock very carefully around them. so be sure to research what...

    Please Suggest An Alternative To Cichlasoma Festae

    cichlasoma ornatum are a very close fish to festae. stunning colouration when bigger and happy that cant be matched. the only thing is they are harder to find than festaes.....

    Zoes As Fish Food?

    i dont even think that the eggs will come of anything tbh. when i had amano shrimp the females would be full of eggs but nothing ever happened. if they did hatch then yes given the chance any fish would have a nice feast on them.

    Are My Angels Sick?

    were the gills always that red? if so they lok like blushing angels to me so nothing to worry about there. the red veins im not sure about though... maybe just do plenty of good water changes and feed well for a while to see if they improve at all. i wouldnt chuck meds in unless your 100%

    Can't Decide On Stocking

    yes it will help and look much better. the only down side to owning plecs of any kind is that if they are well fed they poop none stop :sick: use the size of the fish as a boiload factor. all your fish arent going to get much over 2 inches max so will have minimum effects on the bioload. due...

    How Do I Stop Wood In Tank From Floating?

    warmer water is better as it releases the trapped air inside the wood quicker. put it in hot water and you should see bubbles rising from it pretty fast :good:

    How Do I Stop Wood In Tank From Floating?

    it can take a while for the wood to soak in enough water to weigh it down. is it just floating or have you weighted it down with something? if its just floating then the part of the wood at the surface wont be getting totaly wet so it might be worth sticking a rock on top of it until it can...
