my computers knackered too unfortunatly i don't have the funds for someone to fix it :(

sounds like cory eggs, when mine lay eggs i roll them off with my finger and float them in a plastic tub with an airstone in the main tank they hatch in about 4 days

I've just changed a 4 ft over from gravel to sand, i used argos and never washed it just lowered it into the water carefully and its was slightly cloudy but could still see the fish swimming about, completely clear next day, avoid BnM sand, its full of bits and really dirty i'm gonna chuck mine...

bronze corys get closer to 3 inches than 2 i have one thats at least 12 year old and is huge next to the rest of the corys edit. and yes its a cory not a brochis before someone say it

nope they get too big and need to be in groups

they should also be in groups of 6+ so wouldn't recommend it rainbows are a very active fish i have boesmani, blue, red and parkinsoni rainbows in my 5 ft tank and they are never still.

i recommend the lobsters get their own tank because its only a matter of time before hey kill everything in the tank

which area of hull are you from so i can multimap it :hey:

if you don't mind seeing a small filter in the tank i would get rid of all the crap on the bottom and the filter that comes with it and then you use your own filter, can use sand, plants and have fish that like it on the bottome of the tank, pygmy corys swim around as much as they stay on the...

great pics any full tank shots ?

i have about 16 of each in a 5ft tank and they don't mix they stick to their own shoals :good:

don't think these are allowed to be inported into the UK now they look like a giant poo when fully grown so pretty nice fish as youngsters

the one on embarassing bodies pees me off the most, a biorb stuffed to the brim with big goldfish

:blink: i have 6 pitbulls in a planted tank and they don't touch mine either

i keep keyhole cichlids and thomasi cichlids with barbs no problems also kept kribs and rams with them before and angel fish oh and checkerboard cichlids

A friend of mine has a westie that gets bad dry skin and she was advised to use sudocrem so it might be worth a try :)

they generally grow as big as your fist and eat small fish, theres loads of info in the amphibian section about these, dwarf frogs generally aren't available in albino so these will be clawed frogs

they will eat absolutely anything green i had loads of these snails a few years back if you weight lettuce down they might go for that before your plants but even the tough plants get eaten eventually. I can spot these snails a mile away now by the shell they have much less of a point than the...

never had an oto do any damage to my plants either. I'd say large plecs just for the damage they do moving aorund in the plants they get uprooted

Whats happening to all the clown loach ?

sounds like anerobic gasses released from he sand when you pulled roots out. sand should'nt be any deeper than an inch and should be stirred regularly to prevent gasses building up sorry for your losses.

agreed with davo theres even an article just out in practical fish keeping about them

jave ferns will rot if the roots are planted, they are supposed to be tied to woods/rocks/decorations with the roots exposed

i have 4 clowns in a 4ft tank with breeding bristlenose plecs and they are all out all the time. It depends why you want a plec, clowns don't touch algae and need bogwood to rasp bn plecs love algae

planet catfish has it down at 12" http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=177

Hi, biorbs are unsuitable for bottom dwelling fish due to the crappy filter rocks on the bottom, sharks are not an option in a tank so small. Apple snails lay eggs above water and you need a male and female to breed them so you can avoid population explosions. The tetras will most likely eat any...

females generally have bigger bellys lol but if you're looking at young fish then they all look pretty much the same

i had it in my tank for about 2 years but it eventually rots still its generally cheaper than bogwood to replace and it looks great with java moss growing on it.

i have mine stood in a big plastic tub now since it ruined the bottom of the cabinet, it generally leaks for a week after cleaning then works fine so i'm ok with the tub solution for now

I find juwel filters perfectly fine for an average community tank i have added an tetratec ex1200 to my rio 400 as additional filteration as it has large clown loach that like to stir up the sand and the water wasn't always crystal clear with just the juwel filter

if adult females have bristles they just tend to be round the edge of the nose and not up the middle, i used to have a big female that was almost as bristlie as a male

i found fry grow faster when they have more space (bn plecs and platy anyway) if you do lots of water changes a small tank shouldn't be a problem for tiny fry

I'd go with Juwel every time, i have a rio 400 and 2 vision 180s love em

just to bring an old post back from the dead does anyone keep these and do they eat live plant? my friend is selling loads at £2.50 can they be kept with apple snails?

as i said in my earlier post rats in general are great with anaesthetic just depends on the type of tumour if it grows back and sometimes they grow back within weeks other times they are removed and gone for good. If he's not himself it could well be malignant and he could have secondaries...

i'd go for tank 2 tho the bettas will most likely eat them, my shrimp are just in a 2ft tank with some wild guppies, pygmy corys, weizmani corys and bristlenose plecs,i think i would get more babies if i took the bigger corys out

from experience... its alot easier for her to forgive you then to get permission. :lol: haha this is the reason i'm now single, tho i did manage to keep a tank in the spare foom for 5 months before he spotted it. Some people just don't like fish and now i live on my own i have 11 tanks set...

Guineapigs :) and other furries been looking at 2 rescue rats today but they not available until tomorrow so if they are still there when i finish work :hey: more pets down to 10 guineapigs and 2 rabbits now lost a couple of oldies over the winter

i have the original filter running plus a tetratec ex1200 on mine
