To some people fish are more of a materialistic hobby - like I fly drones , I love it but i wrote off a good £250 last week when I crashed into a building. I didn’t cry just bought new gear. I wonder if i fish were fluffy and followed u round would they be so cavalier?

Had a small tank as a child. When I first moved out I wanted to really get into my hobbies as it helped me with some addiction issues ( it still does ) . So I build and fly rc models and as a young lad really got fascinated by L Number plecs

I love corys and plecs...even this fella seems to be getting a bit intimate with kne

i have a big piece of bog wood as well it’s fine. bear in mind if they are not imported and brEd then they wouldn’t know what a branch was if you whacked them with it

It’s difficult , when people start the hobby they have no idea about compatibility or care. But where does the duty of care lie? Should the LFS step in and say go away and research it? When i started in the 90’s there was no internet for research and it was a real pain as the LFS would sell you...

As is yours mate.. I dropped my poking implement earlier when I was trying to get a snail out of the filter intake and appeared like Jaws - scared the life out of me

I added this little fella yesterday

Great stuff. Corys are nice, it’s always good when you get new fish to add

Over Xmas when I’m getting stuff setup for the bigger tank I’m going to put this together.Project Flippertook about an hour and looks like a drunk penguin put it together. Project Flipper II ‘Revenge of the Orcas’ is below My method for my old 100l tank didn’t translate too well for a 450l...

Terracotta pots

Thanks tbh i felt that something was going to happen, either I was going to slip carrying buckets or drop something as I’m rushing.. this way it’s nice and relaxed

nice...the wall is a good idea Ive always gone by water quality and making sure that you plan for when their at the max size. So I have 30 ish Mbuna now with a monster plec and ive just added Fred .. But I know I have a 7ft tank coming the start of 21

yeah I’m a member of 4 or 5 forums (2 specifically for Cichlids) and your question has come up in each one with a dozen different views. If an experienced fish keeper gives advice you sort of feel obliged to follow it - i played it by ear. Added a few then left it a month to see how the system...

Build quality 2 Ease of use 8 I was struggling doing a 125 litre change and it was going everywhere. This cuts an hour and half water change down to 45 mins and it’s a lot cleaner with more relaxed fish as it’s just a gentle flow in the corner

You’ll get a lot of differing views on stocking. Theres no firm answer as it depends on species, as there are hundreds its all about making sure their environmental needs are covered and thinking about adult Size. It gets confusing when you have dwarfs, normals and large. 55 US gallon id be...

I was so bored .. I even made something. https://www.fishforums.net/threads/project-flipper.465563/

I was bored with no forums to peruse... I needed to do a water change and remembered the last one where I got soaked, the fish were traumatised and my little doggy looked like he had just returned from a scuba diving lesson. Ive been looking at the Python and a DIY version but the taps here...

A couple more pics

Wow about an hour ago I thought the same. I thought I had annoyed someone

Yeah she lost her job and couldn’t afford to keep the tank so sold it - the new owner didn’t want the livestock. She was going to take them to her local LFS but its a small little shop and its really not the best so I’d thought I’d just add them to mine. Main thing is they get looked after

Yeah i want a bigger tank and one with a sump and i cant drill the 5ft now itll be a nightmare. So ill splash out and get a custom one done - nothing fancy just a standard marine build but use for my cichlids. Heres a pic of the smaller 2 that came embedded on some bog wood

‘Kermit’ the young African Dwarf frog just walked over him and got the shock of his young life

Yeach he’s in my 5 ft atm but I’ll be ordering a more custom 7ft after xmas

Hi all Rescued a few animals today from a tank that was being shut down - This fella and 2 more smaller ones attached to some boxwood.
