they should be fine with that pH, just take your time and acclimatise them carefully. test the lfs water and see how much it varies from yours if any and if a big difference then take a bit longer to settle them in to your water parameters (this goes for any fish tbh not just BR's) i keep a...

this group of angels will be upped to 4 if anyone is interested :unsure:

how many sajicas do you currently have?

are you going to be adding ant other fish or just have the tetras?

an absolute pain to remove all of it without damaging the roots. get as much off as poss and then plant the plants. it wont harm the fish. as said above it does come apart much better when wet and under a tap or in a bucket

depending on your plans i cant see any issue with a group of about 7. they are very active tetra and do get to a decent size with their deep bodies so dont go too mad with numbers.... they are also quite a fiesty tetra so too few and you may get singled out fish.

i take it that the measurements are in inches :unsure: if so its a good sized tank, what else do you plan to put in? just re read the original post and it clearly states cm :blush: :blush: :blush:

If you do return them turn please don't do it within the next couple of weeks if they have whitespot. Wait until its completely cleared and you are sure you won't spread it into the lfs tanks. Be responsible.....

if they are convicts then you may want to change the topic title to attract the right cichlid keepers. you can get white convicts so this is possible. a picture will clarify when you get chance to get one :good:

this is my lighting up times. how much would you say to reduce? light 1 - on at 1500, off at 2200 light 2 - on at 1520, off at 2230 light 3 - on at 1600, off at 2300 all lights are equal in power. just to add the tank is also near a window so gets quite a bit of light anyway but i have the...

the GBR as stated will require acidic and high temp water to thrive, this is why many people keep them with discus. personally i would stick with the bolivians as it will be easier to stock around them compared to the GBR. young bolivians will need time to mature and get the colouration, juvi...

by lowering the light do you mean the time its on or the amount of light? im currently not dosing anything but wont adding ferts get expensive in a tank of this size? more water changes? i already do 50%+ per week, or do you mean more frequent changes? surface agitation is huge due to there...

Not all. The sword in the pic is the worst but I have a few holes appearing on some anubias too... the windelov seems to be losing lots of leaves too as they are going brown quite fast. Me and plants just don't work..... I have a spare eco-aqua light that I can add if this will help.

i guess it depends on how you look at it. if they last as long as they say they will be no more expensive than a starter and T8 tubes over the time period.

yes mate 60 inch/5ft 60W x 18D x 24H

this description applies for both types of light apparently.... The Arcadia Eco-Aqua Daylight (32W 1147mm) offers spectacular natural colour rendition with a high (>8K) colour temperature equally suited for Freshwater or Marine aquariums. Eco-Aqua lamps blend multiple coloured LED sources to...

ok thanks Ian. so what do i need to do? are the plants past it?

i use the arcadia eco-aqua LED lighting. on this tank i have 1 x tropical and 2 x daylight. being in Bradford i guess you cant collect the angels though :unsure:

most of these plants were added to my tank during feb/march and growth was very good to begin with. they started to show small holes in the leaves especially on the swords and a few on the anubias. whats happening? my tank is 60x18x24 with 2x FX5 filters, 27 degrees C, pH 7.4, quite hard water...

cant you move the cave to see if its in there?

if you want to raise the fry then do as minnnt states and remove the eggs and whatever they are stuck to. the other alternative is to remove the fish and leave the eggs where they are. if you remove the eggs then fill their new home with tank water from the original tank and keep using the...

they are currently in with tetras with no issues if thats your worry.

Have you been monitoring your pH levels at all? It's very common for a drop in pH during a cycle which can bring the process to slow down considerably. Higher pH water will normally cycle a filter faster as will a warmer tank.

the plants have been in since feb/march and all seemed quite well with good growth etc. but over the last few weeks ive got a very holey sword thats beyong saving i think and a few appearing in my anubias, my windelov also doesnt seem to be as happy as it was.... im doing nothing different and...

ok well thats a bit of a relief as i didnt fancy picking them out as there are probably hundreds in there...... Ian if its a co2 issue whats the best way about it? maybe i should start something in the planted part of the forum....

i seem to be getting lots of tiny holes appear in my plants and can only put it down to MTS munching on them. i only have low light plants like swords, anubias and ferns which were doing great but as i say they are covered in small holes. non of my fish are eating the plants so could it be the MTS?

i wouldnt but thats me..... maybe get a strainer/sieve thats fine enough to trap the worms and drain the fluids.

just got an L128 blue phantom myself and its stunning. ive also got 2 L200 green phantoms which again are stunners its hard to say which to get i guess its down to colour preference, or maybe get both as i did :hey: i think a gold nugget would get too big in time for a 240L, wouldnt it...

try courgette as its apparently much better than cucumber for the fish. cucumber is almost all water so not many nutrients in there for the fish. can you find out from the supplier what they fed them on? a fish thats been stressed due to a move may not eat anyway for a day or two and if you try...

ah thats a shame... there are many lfs in or near to Leicester but none really worth the 180 mile round trip tbh. the local maidenhead is great and they have some decent stuff in from time to time but its small. i normally travel north up to nottinghamshire to a place called Wharf aquatics...

i agree with the above the rena xp3 is probably the quietest external ive had. i had to put my ear to it to see if it was still working!!!

Hi how ya doing? i am no expert and ive pretty much logged everything in my journal that i felt relevent. there is one of the aqualog special books thats quite good and gives some pretty good info on species and rays in general. they arent the cheapest of books but i found this one a decent...

can you post your water parameters, tank size and tank mates, tank maintenance routine and anything else you think might help the members to help you. welcome to the forum by the way :D

all wood now sold. thanks to those who purchased them :D

my big cichlids ate them whole so i wouldnt worry. they are quite hard though so do take some crunching up... the only thing you could do is snap them in half to make them obviously smaller

the worms the op stated are LIVE not frozen..... :unsure:

using live foods can be a risky affair. the reason being that you have no idea what else is in the bag with the worms etc or if they are even healthy products. the only live foods i feed are earthworms to my rays but these are got from a source that uses no pesticides etc on the land they are...

fuller bodied tetras like colombian, rosy, bleeding heart etc are a great choice as dithers for an angel tank. as angels get bigger they may try and eat more slim torpedo bodied fish such as neons but if you can get larger species with this shape body such as cardinals or emperor tetras they...

:lol: well yeah i admit at £150 they are defo not a cheap pair of fish but its the size they are and the rarity of them that makes then the bargain.... defo something for the angel fanatics really i guess rare aquatics have 2 in at £100 each just for a comparison :crazy:
