quick update, salvini has been settling in and is obviously rather low down on the pecking order but its fins are starting to colour up really nicely. it has lots of personality and is certainly not shy. Had to shift all my plants to the front of the tank due to my rear light bar not working but...

There fine in a group till they pair off. I had 5 elliotis and once a dominant pair was formed I had to get rid of the other 3 because they was constantly bullied into a corner and just chased for hours on end. If you could get a group of the same sex maybe that might have a chance of working...

agreed, iv just got rid of my l191, it was only 2-3inches but my god did it crap like no tomorrow!

No doubt, go for the eheim.

i have just bought aqua essentials own ferts and carbon, a litre each for £20 pkus delivery, i half dose on a 350 litre because i dont have all that many plants, 2 anubias, 2java fern, 1 large crypt, 1xunknown plant, bits of java moss and duck weed. that 2 litres will last me maybe 5 months so...

This tank is just mind blowing.

Edit: just noticed you have the trigon 190 and not the 350 so yes this would be far too small for any Severums. Indeed they do ideally, you would get away with one adult, there not particularly active in comparison to other cichlids. im upgrading my tank in the next few months and have...

The lfs is deep aquatics on Hessle road. Give him a ring, he has foreign suppliers that seem to be cheap, my elliotis was £3-4 each and salvini was £4.last time I popped in he had sajicas and rainbow cichlids for £3 each too and he also told me he could get ray pups for £45 each. As long as you...

Yeah I spotted that tonight fingers crossed for you. Ferrybridge had a couple of nics but couldn't confirm what sex over the phone. I actually went to pick your nic Up from MA the day after I lost my nic and it had been sold in the week. This was 3-4 weeks ago so if it is your old nic he won't...

Can anyone identify this and give me any info please I know it is intended for ponds and that is all I know. Also anybody have info on spathiphyllum quatro. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. Wills: yeah gutted I lost her, she was so placid but still had lots of personality, that blue and yellow colouring cannot be beaten either. She must of been spooked near the rocks and panicked and managed to get stuck. I will be getting a pair when upgrade come June or July...

Thankyou. hopefully she will behave and be a nice salvini, i think i may have to keep an eye on her and the ellioti cross breeding in the future though.

That's ace sounds like you have a decent p@h. I managed to grab two big bits of anubias attached to rocks a couple of weeks ago for £12 which I thought was a bargain.

So I bought a couple of bags each of the tescos and p@h sophisticat kitty litter after being a little peed off with sand, put it all in a huge tub and washed and soaked it over a few days then set about putting it in yesterday That picture was after a hour or so and a water change. As you can...

when you need it i have a 3foot tank just sat around that you can borrow. That is weird about the hikari, i may trial removing the hikari from there diet once my mixed tub of food gets used up.

the good thing about Amphilophus rostratum is that they are from the same lakes as nics so you could have both in your and go for a lake Nicaragua theme.

The chalceus i have not seen in the shop but can be ordered in. One of the LFS's basicly primted me some sheets off of what they can order in and they was on there along with tetragonopterus argenteus iirc. n

something a bit different like Amphilophus rostratum Tetragonoperus Chalceus or Archocentrus spilurus. They have some blue eyes in a lfs and they look quite stunning. Nics would be hard because i believe they are very picky when it comes to pairing up so it could just be a open battle ground.

i had this tank and had similar issues. i ended up getting really frustrated with it and putting my foot through the hood lol so new tank it was, it is the most ridiculous design having your heater/lighting/filter all running off one plug. hagen no longer make spares fir the tank so if you need...

i suppose ill have to put my pants and undercrackers back on now, i also came in this thread for nipples! hahaha

i have one that i have hung on too but it diesnt really fit in with my tank with larger cichlids but it lives happy enought and doesn't really get hassled and it is always out, never hides or anything like that, i would be tempted to get a group of 6 if they sold them local. The breeding colours...

a brackish tank! archers,scats,monos,gobys,shark cats etc. its not often you see a brackish tank of this size

Nics are stunning i didnt even consider one until i saw wills. Im absolutely gutted i lost my female at weekend, she menaged ti get her big clumsy head stuck between the glass and a rock while i was at work, she was probably my favourite fish and the most peaceful of all my cichlids in my tank...

green sevs are one of the bigger sev species. As wills said minimum tank size is 300 litre, have you ever seen a adult green or gold sev? they usually top out about 12 inches and are very deep body, me personally in a 180 litre i would maybe get a pair of sajicas for the more aggressive setup...

My only betta died today too, had him for over 2 years :(

sorry to say but in my opinion its a gt i have owned both and my juvi gt looked exactly the same with the full yellow line on. the tail fin.

Id be inclined to take the platy amd swordtails out and i couldnt see them getting on with the firemouths so i would say one or the other, what size tank do you have? that is one of my elliotis in my avatar.

What fish do you have?

Wrong. Angelicus Loach is what your looking for. grows to 6 inches.

if it is a flying fox then check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Fox_(fish) i have had them in the past and they are pretty fish but all mine have been quite territorial and often persistantly chased fish,although it did no physichal harm.

i can only agree with that i have been looking at the past few fotm and have noticed that people are taking more notice of the shot rather than the actual health/stance of the fish like you said, if you have a super macro camera you could win it with a common fish like a platy.

do you mean flying fox?

my ellioti

Thanks for the reply, i watched her for a few minutes and she was quiet as a mouse but was still happily feeding well. The photos make her look more colourful than she was by eye. I nipped inti ferrybridge about two weeks ago and they had quite a few males and females that looked healthy if your...

its just clicked was this the one that was a terror in your tank?

This is primarily aimed at Wills because i cant pm you spotted this nic local and im not 100% on the sex and thought it maybe good for you, what do you think?

I have a trigon 350 and i would prefer a vision 450 if i had the choice mostly because of what you said although the curvature of the glass doesn't bother my fish in the slightest, if you are looking at the 190 it is not really a upgrade to what you have now

im tempted to opt for two 2217s for my trigon 350 whats there actual output like and is there enough room to add noodles and purigen and other bio media?

some stunning fish, accept for mine the kuhlis did it for me and they got my vote.
