If you want to try something I would recommend New Life Spectrum food over new era.

Ooh oh a you may have opened a big can of worms. People who use new era see it as the best thing since sliced bread but I have yet to use it but will be getting some to compare between the hikari and tetra products I use. They list all the ingredients of what goes into them which is a good...

i see what you mean but why go to all the effort when you have a powerhead anyway? You can choose how powerful you want the flow by getting different powerheads and if you buy something like the aps ones then they are quite inexpensive.

Definitely some rocks, you have some good wood in the tank. Take a look at this to give you a basic idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8NGAv7qmOE&feature=youtube_gdata_player Stocking seems okay but just remember gts do get big, are your Elliotis a pair? Maybe add some bottom feeders, I...

Do you mean like using the outlet deeper in the water like you would a power head? IF so i can't see that being a problem but what will you be agitating the surface with for the gas exchange?

Go African if you want the colours you speak of.

I would say 3-4 bags but a extra one can't hurt, I used about 4 bags for my Trigon 350 then switched to a rio 300 and transferred it over and still had a 10litre bucket left over from the trigon, the rio is not far off being 4x2x2. I would recommend the Tesco stuff over the pets at home due...

yeah thats the reason i would like one is because i could still use the Hydor, are you using it with a spray bar? they hardly ever come up for sale in this area.

lovely looking choc and nic :)

if you want a shoaling fish then you should be looking toward the earth eaters Geophagus, Gymnogeophagus, and Satanoperca, something like red head tapajos or a harem of Steindachneri but again your going for the south americans now did you want to mix central with south?

http://youtu.be/NYLrd0acSMo Added a little bit of sand today to give it a sort of river bed look and also help the fish particularly Geo, hoplos and clown loach sift through it, also added another piece of wood on the right had side. Here's a quick video before I did a water change and added...

Was the 2260 second hand? Been after one for a while.

I hate seeing things like this, i once saw a 40l tank locally for sale that had a Gold Sev, Oscar and a common pleco in it, i would have bought it and sought the fish better homes but they was asking something crazy like £150 for the setup so i politely emailed them to let them know about...

The tank is to small for sds and pirhanas i'm afriad, how about some dwarf cichlids like apistogramas,bolivian rams,anomalachromis thomasi,laetacara curviceps? a couple of pairs would be entertaining and you could keep quite a bit of your stock by the looks of it Also a pair of small-medium...

Are your firemouths a pair? If so they will be likely to be a complete pain in the #16##### flaring to other cichlids, they will not do any damage but will annoy other fish. You have a good choice of fish to choose from. Nicaraguans are stunning and a brightly coloured female could work well...

will be nice to see when it grows a bit. you notice any difference in temprement between it and a regular JD?

really like the first shot. What camera do you have?

You have a lot of choice to be fair, a lot of small-medium cichlids could work, what size are the fish have you got in there and are you looking for a nice showpiece fish or a school or another pair? P.s check out my rio 300 in the members aquarium section to give you an idea.

Just up the road opposite the Jacksons or Sainsburys should I say. Should get some decent stock in I hope. He has good prices and when I have ordered fish through him (Ellioti, sal, spilirum) they have always been good bread and colour. It's a bit like most shops in this area though can never...

Just barring, nothing to worry about should see it less and less when it grows bigger and mood changes.

Thanks matey. I've managed to find these stocked locally now so I exchanged the lone female for a male.

You mean a jack dempsey?..... Only joking, get some pictures up there good looking fish.

Thanks Andy. I was going to take a trip to Ferrybridge today but decided to have a look locally and see if there was anything around, The stiny was from Wold road they had only literally been in an hour, so i was happy with that and the spilirums was from deep aquatics on Hessle road. A guy...

Thanks, my camera phone is not good enough really and my good camera has broken and having a hard time keeping up with the severum uprooting the plants, he seems in a right move after the rescape. Well my stocking is finally finished. I managed to find Geo Steindachneri locally so i now have a...

Yeah I probably feel that would be my best bet too. The only ones I can feel find Is ones in America, they will ship but will cost an arm and a leg and I can't justify that at the minute. I wanted them as a breeding project and hopefully being able to produce more numbers on this side of the...

Can anyone help me find these for sale in the uk please?

I have had a bit of spare time on my hands lately and with me not being all that happy with the tank, i decided to rescape it. The reson i was not happy was because i felt it looked unatural and also there was too much going on so i wanted to make it look more simple and natural and also give...

Yeah I thought so, there is some red colouration but it is very faint, not much sign of a hump I don't think and I cannot see the red spots near the mouth, what size do they usually show the different signs of each sex? It's a shame because if it was a male I think I would of been able to keep him.

Iv had a couple of 2000s over the years, if you are going to get one then get the one without uv, I noticed a lot better flow than the one with the uv. There great bang for buck and at 20litres you will be looking over double the price with anything that has that sort of capacity for media. The...

Ok Thanks. It's around 2 inches, do you feel it is a male or female?

To cut a long story short this guy was delivered to a friend of mine with a few Malawis from a online retailer. He ordered the Malawis but did not order the Geo. So i have taken it off his hands and it is currently residing in my tank. Could anybody identify which species it is? Geos are really...

Very nice tilapia, what's it like behaviour wise?

I am finally getting my stocking sorted, just a few more fish to shuffle around then i will be a happy man. A couple of pictures of some new residents Juvi EBJD A pair of rainbow cichlids. Unfortunately the male Nicaraguan did not make it, after the Salvini went he was the most bolshy...

http://youtu.be/pPKPRwtDbv0 A quick video of the tank before a waterchange.

It should be good.I have been in 3 different ones so far and for a chain store they are fantastic,often have some rareish fish and always seem good health.I used to think they was expensive and they can be on a few things but generally the price warrants the quality of fish. My closest Mh...

The most recent fish are from the local maidenhead, they have the best quality fish in the local area, but some fish are from ferrybridge and some from other random shops.

The new fish :-) Ebjd.Been watching these for a couple of months now to make sure they are growing and eating well. Male Nicaraguan with my Sal. Alestes longipinnis,a group of 6,great schooling tetra.

Yeah I new she was really just disappointed that her colour went, she must need to get in a frisky breeding mood to get her colour back.

only thing i can think of is special clippers i use for the dogs claws, there not like conventional nail clippers there very sharp.

there is 2000 lph or there abouts filtration and a powerhead to keep good flow and get's rid of any dead spots, Water change routine for me is every 5-7 day with a minimum of 50% water being changed everytime and filter cleaned out fortnightly.
