Gachuas in the 180gal m8, this is the 62gal upstairs. Occupants are a group of Blue Rams (5), group of smallish Angels (5), and a group of Bristlenoses (6), oh and some cories that have laid eggs a few times. hoping to get a pair of Bn's, pair of Angels, and Pair of Blue rams althought seems i...

Haha yeah, i was gonna light a few candles round the room.

haha, just caught them doin this, been like this for about half hour now.

Hi, just after a few opinions. I am trying to get a pair of bristlenoses to breed in my 62gal tank. I have 6 in there currently an noticed this before. Do you think this is a male making room for eggs? The right hand side of this pebble is usually the tunnel he uses, but if you look he has dug...

haha, yeah, I will be sticking to the dwarf's for now, even started contemplating emptying my 180gal now an trying to get a few different species in there, not ideal for breeding though. Would hurt to get rid of my Gold saum too, think he's all I'd miss though.

haha, most definately, I am gonna look into breeding quite a few different specie snow hopefully once I get the room. start my rare species programme off.

Thanks m8, just measured him, hes 8" exactly. I gave Col a list of the inhabitants and he said it should be fine. Considering the inhabitants in here it is very placid actually, had a bit of trouble with 1 Parrot but hes going back this week. Doesnt look like the Gachua is feeding tho stubborn...

He must be about 8" m8. Didnt measure him an I am awful at estimating size, so she says anyway, lol. anyway, cant get any decent pics of the gachua yet as hes still hidden in behind the filter, best I can do for now. I will try a few more later. The Gachua in the 6x2x2, he is in with a few...

The assams arrived looking really good m8, still quite coloured up tbh. I am in work now so not sure how their settling but hopefully looks all good. The Gachua was a little stressed but hes the biggest in the 6ft tank and considering the occupants in there its a very quiet tank. He has already...

My 2 Channa assams and Gachua have just arrived, I will let them settle then get some pics up.

Thanks, they really are very nicely coloured for their size and the fact i have only had them a few days, just my pics arent very good. I thought I put the tank size up sorry. its; 30"x24"x24" 62 gallon. I have a group of small angels and 6 Bristlenoses in too at the minute, hopeing to get...

Got 5 of these guys too, £1 each which is a bargain considering they are already very nicely coloured up, although my pics may not show that :shifty: I'm hoping to get a breeding pair, although after 3 days in the tank it would seem I have 2 pairs already, both seem to have territories at total...

Hoping to get a breeding pair out of these, no signs as of yet though Currently residing in a 62gal 30"x24"x24". There's 5 in total An a full tank shot

Definately gonna be interested in them then, as I say, not just yet but definately soon. They be ok in my 180? Dont know much about these ones, i will go off an look now, good excuse for that new tank if not

Gonna sound dumb here m8, when you were sayin ornate fry, did you mean Ornate Snakehead? I thought you meant Ornatye Bichiir?

Nice, ur fish selection is very similar to mine. Even the fake plants are the same ones. How about a few pics of these assams then m8? I will try an get some up of my 180gal soon actually, my Tinfoiuls have grown since the last lot

Anyone elses seem to be down? Got an e-mail to say I have recieved one but it keeps saying I cant view it, and they dont show up on here anymore. This a site thing or just me?

Thanks for the reply Davo, I am gonna let Nelly know on this by tonight so I am guessing looking at that, its a strict no! The tank is 180gallons and the only 3 I really wanted to keep was the jack dempsey and the Green terror, oh an the Ornate. Thanks Vinny

Hi, i have an option to get one or two of these fish, now i know they are aggressive, and will try to eat just about anything they can so i am wondering about my current fish, its by no means a timid tank but just need some clarification please. current stock list; 1xSeverum 2xParrots...

Hey nell, looking good as usual. I have a 40gal an a 62 I am looking to stock with the first Channas, they are the dwarf varient right? I love their colours. Just wondering cos I've never seen them in Pier aquatics or anywhere else, how much are they? Would they be ok with a breeding pair of...

Sayin get rid of the fish as they shouldnt be in the trade makes no sense IMO. If you already have the fish, chances are takin it back to the shop will result in it being housed horribly still. The advice is to really buy a tank as big as you can and try to give this fish as good and big a home...

Sorry to steel the post. I have put 6 Hoplos in with my Ornate, do you think they are gonna end up a snack? I really want to keep them in this tank too, ut have a replacement tank if needed.

Ok, not the best m8, I'm terrible with photos. This one was more my Green Saum butting in excuse the algae at the back, I have left it there on purpose as i bought 2 young plecs and wanted to make sure there was food for them. You cant really see it in person because of the black...

Cheers Nelly, I thought as much, just wanted to make sure. I got them for £5 each, all of them are around 6/7". i am thinking 7 is a bit much for my tank but its a good excuse to upgrade to a 9x3x3 at some point when we finally buy a new house eh :rolleyes: I will get some pics up in a sec...

Hi guys, just thought I would let you know. His stomach does appear to be filling out a little. He spends most of the day behind a massive Juwel filter so its difficult to get a good sighting, but his stomach is more flat than concave now so it looks like he is heading in the right direction...

Hi, I had 4 tin-foil Barbs in my 180gal. They seemed to be showing what I interprated as aggressive behaviour towards each other. These 4 are Red Tailed ones. I decided if I seen anymore I would up the numbers to 5 or 6. I came accross a shop with 3 of the black and orange tailed ones so I...

Haha, thanks. havent seen that for sale anywhere around here. Looks like it isnt a possibility. I have got normal garlic cloves in which I could chop up an put in the blender with the rest of the stuff? Anyone know for certain if this is ok?

Thanks alot guys, i appreciate the help. What is aquarium garlic? Got to say I have had all sorts of fish now for a number of years but never heard of this. I am going shopping tonight to get courgette an a few other things to help, an I am going to do this saucer thing with the garlic if I can...

Good, this tanks main diet is the big bag of mixed, prawns, squid, mussels, an crab meat.

thanks, yeah i knew what i was looking for with plecs and the gut flora, problem is, I just totally forgot to look when i was there as this shop rarely gets anything other than BNs an Commons and this was the only one he had. I dont want to take it back as it will probably mean certain death, i...

Thanks, I put it in the discussion as I was just bein a bit inpatient sorry :blush: I know how long it can take in here. Anyway thanks davo, I hadnt checked the full diets of them, it just looked like he was grazing. I have added a load of peas now, see if that helps. Put a lot right by where...

Thanks for the replies. It is currently sitting in behind a massive fluvel filter. It appears to be grazing on the glass at the moment, gonna add some cucmber in a sec. There is a fair bit of algae on the back glass. I leave this here as you cant see it with the black background, I'm hoping this...

Hi, bought a Golden Nugget today, unfortunately I forgot to check its stomach before I got it home. Got it in the tank an its stomach is almost concave. It looks as bad as I've seen. Does this mean there is no hope? Anyone with any experience of turning this round as i dont want to take him back...

Hi,30 gal is fine for a Senegal, not too sure the Bichiir and Whiptail woulf be too good an idea though. It may work depending on the species of Whiptail if you get one that hits 7" at least. The problem is they are so slimline and it may be viewed as food, someone else may have experience of...

Since we're talkin whiptails, a couple of pics of mine, not as good a pic as Limericks tho First one really shows the patterns even around the mouth if you look close.

hey look nice, u keepin them in a species only or gonna try a community?

Shame m8, he's a cracker. U got any plans to take him back if u find a suitable tank?

Is Brutis ur Oscar? Why you getting rid?

Haha, not sure if thats sarcastic or not lol. I wouldnt have you down as a Parrot keeper. I actually have 2 in there at the minute, both will probably be going in the 62 once everything in the 62 grows large enough to move over. I only buy them if the shop by me gets them in as trade ins, he...

Thanks m8, thought it would prob be ok, especially if well fed, planning on getting the hoplos nice and fat anyway as i loved my last ones when they were fat.
