Its "Superfish" :unsure:

You have a real cool sounding bedroom. I wanna come see it! :hyper:

I've always used these water treatments but I've recently started to use less then the recommended amounts to make them last longer. 2 questions please. 1) After I add de-chlorinator how long should I wait for it to work before putting it into my tank? Does it work straight away? 2) How...

If it works, it's well worth it. Anyone know if they actually work well?

:crazy: :shout:

Should Angels always be kept in 2 or more? I recently bought 2 Blue Neon Angels, but 1 died within a week. I think the other 1 picked on it. Now the remaining one is all alone, but seems happy enough. Should I buy more?

Do your boyfriends tell you, your bedroom is really scary? :hyper:

Happy Birthday MewMew42. You certainly don't look 42. :unsure: How do you sleep with the noise from all those tanks in your bedroom?

How long have these filters been produced? I'm sure I bought the same product 15 years ago. :unsure:

It says 2213 is for up to 66 US Gallons

Post a pic for id'ing

Whats your tank size and current stocking level?

HUH? Which filter? Am I missing something?

Myself and Harlequins mention Pets @ Home on this thred (post 12 & 13): http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=300769 Why be scared of libel? I've simply stated fact. Maidenhead are a specialist aquatic store and hence are good. Pets@Home are a pet shop who are run my shop workers...

Quickly to 4", then over 20 years for the last 4" or so

All very nice. Can we have some more please? I like being nosey. lol :blink:

I made the mistake of buying some tropical fish from Pets@home once. No idea why but the guy who bagged them put the bag in an unheated tank of plants in order to tie the bag. Plunging the temperature of the water. As expected they died within a week! When I went back & complained he said it...

I agree with anything you said and it is not a nice situation. It's such a pity the authorities are not interested either. Maybe we could start a Naming and Shaming thing here on TFF. Like I always mention the Pier Aquatics situation. Hopefully people will stop shopping at the bad shops and...

I think if you check your Juwel Filter you'll find a few in there. Don't you see trials in your sand in the mornings? I got a load when I bought a second hand tank and have tried to keep a few about as they make good fish food for Betta, clown fish etc. Not a hard job to keep them as they...

You think that's bad? Pier Aquatics in Wigan, UK keep their Betta in a water cooler cup and hold sting rays in tanks that are physically smaller then the ray! The council who granted the live-stock licence have checked this and believe it or not, they think the shop is fine and are not guilty...

Personally I would've just started with 1 to 3 fish, depending on their type. Then stocked up with new fish every 7-21 days. I believe the bacteria in the filter builds up with the level of fish you have. So even in a cycled tank if you suddenly introduced a load of new fish at once the...

Who does have the room tho.? Be lucky to get 1 bid, I reckon. :shout:

Ideally you should have a 400ltr+ tank. Then you'll be good with a few of them. Keep them in groups of at least 3. Biggest I've seen is about 9" but I believe they can get bigger. After a quick growth to about 4" their growth rate is real slow, but I believe they live for over 25 years. The...

Well now you have them there's no point discussing it further. For new stock, you should just keep an eye on your water quality levels. As long as you can see the ammonia is being converted to nitrites and nitrates and the levels are low and steady then it's time to add more. :good:

Maybe she doesn't know the difference between a Red Tailed Black Shark and a Clown Loach. :crazy: I've found these big branded stores to be quite weird. They ask questions that most other lfs don't, like how big ya tank is, what do you already have in it, when did you last introduce fish...

Haha :hyper:

I do find it amazing that these few pieces of chipboard can hold so much weight. Especially when all the weight is then spread on 4 little feet onto your floor. Touch wood. My laminate floor is holding up so far. :unsure:

I'm not sure what other people think, but personally I wouldn't have added 11 fish at once into a new tank. Therefore I wouldn't add any more for now until your tank has become more established.

When we had that brief hot spell in early July, my tanks went to 29 degrees. None of my fish seem to mine, not even my goldfish. I'm guessing that most fish will be fine for the short periods of warm weather we get. It must happen in nature. Still might be idea to open your windows etc to try...

Yes, I've been there and agree. Any others?

Isn't it a good idea to replace your tubes anyway every 12-24 months, even if they ain't broken?

. Can anyone recommend a good Public Aquarium with 75 miles of Bolton, Greater Manchester?

Isn't just easier to call before setting off? Call and ask if they have any Piranha's which ain't red bellied type, if they do I'm sure it'll be worth a 90 minute drive. As you've mentioned Pier Aquatics, can you tell me what you think of their stocking levels? There's been a lot of talk of...

It does sound like a well stocked tank, but I would still add some more corys as those 2 will be a bit lonely. Can we have a closer view of your rogue Angel? It's a pattern I've not seen before. Or is it just the way the photo has been taken?

Nice tanks. Do you have any fish in them? :unsure:

Yea, that would be even better then just 1 larger filter, especially if you put them at different locations in the tank.

Yes, I went a long time ago. An amazing building, looking like the front of a ship. Was well worth a visit for me when I lived in Teesside. I think it depends on how far away you are. I certainly would if I lived in Leeds like yourself.

How about give those 2 back to the LFS

I think you'll need to upload a pic before anyone can help you identify them. :shifty:
