Finally my camera decides to work although will only work on auto and will not auto focus, dam you Fujifilm! Pictures are a bit better but not perfect. Comments welcome :)

always kept it with the more peaceful American cichlids, its ok with my plecs and it lays with my biggest clown loach but i belirve it to have taken a couple of corys out, i had to rehome one that had both its eyes plucked out into my smaller tank, there peaceful until they get to around 7inch...

i have had mine for about 2 years, it was around 2inch when i bought it and its now about 9inch and mine eats everything and anything and feeds from my hand, its starting to turn predatory now though and i think it has a taste for eyes. its out plenty of times during the day but good to watch...

got bord today so decided to rescape because i just wasnt happy with the setup also added some more sand i seemed to have siphoned quite a bit out during my waterchanges, also removed the terrible bqckground. i really need to get my camera fixed because the pictures from my phone do no justice...

well i rescaped the tank today and now i have duckweed all over my body, all over the laminate floor and walls, just cooked tea and there was even some in my pasta! it is literally all over the house. what a PITA it is! Rant over!

just spotted and advert and thought of you http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/detail58_254754.php 6 krobia

Added 9 rosie tetra, little pretty things and good shoalers will probably get another 3 or 6 at weekend, theu love the power head good to say that the heater works great and holds 26 degrees steady as a rock, had to wire a switch into the powerhead because i dont have enough room to put a...

a group of 4-6 rainbow cichkids or a couple of cupids.

bargain day! well popped to a lfs that i havent been to in months, it has a section which is used tanks and equipment, i got my trigon 350 from there and my external filter for under £200 so theres bargains to be had. i picked up External hydor heater which looks brand new And i picked up a...

haha thorichthy species seem to love our water, is she controlling an area of about a foot square?

a quick video of my elliotis being feisty at dinner time. p. s i spelt severum wrong doh! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzlZvwFxt0c&hd=1

sorry i didnt mean from. scratch i just meant before the new addditions. yeah they had one left about a week ago only £25, not too small either id say 4-5inch.

was you looking at the l95s from ings? I got tempted by them but after doing research they seemed more like l152s. In frisbies he has a awesome. adonis plec. only around 3-4 inches at the minute it will. get big but it's stunning. has a couple of nice Viejas in too and a tank full of about...

The only thing I can think of is exodon paradoxus but you would. need a tank double the size for a decent shoal if you only had a few they would fight till there was only one left.

is the chocolate the worst of the bunch? are they fairly new additions and are they all mixed genders?reading your past post your can't have much love for the darn chocolate after all it was to blame for your other nics demise. I do love your Geos! wow im surprised that she would have a go at...

Haha from there you know it's going to cost you, shebwas £15 and I'd say she's about 4inch, seems a nice dish thus far, tempted to just go for congos as my dithers just because there easy to find and the misses would like them, she's moaning alot because I shifted her favourite fish so should...

Thanks, if she doesn't work out ill be sure to let you know, out of curiosity how much was yours? she's doing well its just my elliotis have turned into terrorists, they should lay anyway now hopefully in a better place than last time.

New video, ignore robsen green catching peacock bass in the background lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8O1ZGXZk1M&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I noticed white spot last time I went and was a bit concerned the fish was still on sale but i think I may try that place in scunny and then make the round. trip to ferrybridge if i don't see anything, the big sev is daft as a brush, never showed aggression to any other fish and its not the...

your stocking seems fine the chocolate is stunning, it it nasty? is it a 6x2x2 you have? yeah i remember seeing them, ill be nipping into ings this weekend so I'm sure they will have some information on what's going on. I was thinking of maybe Nannostomus beckfordi if I could find them. Ha id...

she looks a little duller than that by eye, the picture just makes her look good, her tail find is a but. nipped and her belly is a slight bit inward but after a feeding of bloodworm and mealworms she's already parking up.

and the new inhabitant is A nicaraguan, it's a little rough as it was getting beat up in its tank at the lfs but hopefully will brighten up. It has only been in the tank and few hours, the elliotis are staking there territory but it's far from scared by them.

If you get rid of the hoplos then let me know I'll take them on. Yeah he's more salty than tropical the actual tropical tanks was pretty dismal last time I went into but he just has a big 1000l tank by the looks of it filled with bigger fish that I don't think he knows much abouts bargains can...

yeah it is in this tank somewhere. A new inhabitant maybe added tonight.

It can be recharged in salt water can't it? It's just I got recommended it by a lfs and i can find 10kg bags for £5.99 I don't have any ammonia problems but was just wondering if. It was worth slinging in a media tray.

agreed with the above poster my lights have failed twice.

I have been looking for one local for a while, such pretty plecs, i would pay a premium for one.

before racking your mind Get your tap water tested mine has high nitrates.

as the title says does anybody use zeolite? if so does it work well and does it have any drawbacks?

check eBay for slate caves, very cheap and will save the hassle of having to do it yourself (lazy choice) also terra cotta pots work, just cut the bottom out.

Ha im not that silly, it's a really nice plec and just hangs its mouth out of a coconut cave, very funny to watch.

stunning tank, has so much potential! if you don't mind me asking, who made it?

yeah the Krobia is nice, i saw one in crystal clear waters in tony cook garden centre which was alot bigger I bet its still there, bad shop but he seems to get some big cichlids that are given to him to regime, this is a picture of it ]would be good if they was a pair. hmm I think it maybe...

good to hear. do you have any new pictures of the Mixteco? I saw a female nic yesterday in frisbys when i took some of my fish in, it was looking sorry for itself getting bullied by a Krobia and firemouth of all things and a bit on the thin side, i have had a reshuffle of my stock and have a...
