Sorry to bump an old topic! I've just acquired a 13l tank that I have set up with some nice plants and bogwood and is now cycling. Looking to purchase a nice betta online as LFS is one of the blue or red VT types! It seems bettaboys is down? Maybe they've moved sites? Or if anyone on here is...

It's 180 litres or 47.5 US Gallons! :) Yeah, I was looking at increasing the numbers of corydoras and barbs :) Dunno! Must be my camera :unsure:

Does no-one like it? :P

Hey, basically I have a massive algae problem in my 180ltr convict cichlid tank. I just added eSHa Protalon 707 to the tank but accidently got the bottles mixed up, you are supposed to put in 90 drops of Protalon 707 A for the first few days and then on day 3 add 18 drops of Protalon 707 B. I...

Anyone else interested? :unsure:

No, I don't think I've ever ventured down there! :unsure: You're welcome to collect them once this severe weather as past if you wish? :)

anyone? :no: convicts are really giving them a hard time, need to get rid of them soon!

Wow, your tank looks amazing :D

Looking good so far! :) Algae could be a pain in the ar$e though, all that sunlight under a window! :X

Congratulations! :D I've just bought my first pair of convicts and I can't wait to be in your shoes :)

They aren't readily available round here, and what problems could you foresee?

Hey, I've got a couple of exodons in my 180ltr setup, d'ya reckon they'd be alright with convict cichlids? Regards, Gen

any more?

Thanks for the suggestion :) Dimensions are: 101 x 41 x 50cm

Well all my fish died from a bacterial bloom after a mix-up with the plant ferts :-( :no: Life's a bum but hey, on the positive side; right now I have a spare planted Rio 180! This is obviously quite an exciting prospect as I haven't had a tank so big to stock since I first set up the Rio...

gorgeous fish! :drool:

Thankyou Paul! :)

Thanks :) I apologise for the algea on the back glass, I couldn't get to it, lol :rolleyes:

:good:

Unfortunately they were in a community aquarium and I had no-where to seperate the parents to so they (or the other fish) ate all the eggs. :( The female has died since then also.

I just bought one angelfish, and then another 1 year later. I stuck them both in the same tank and they paired up and started to lay eggs, wierd.

My fish tend to go to the top and start gasping if I stop my filters from breaking the water and pushing air into the tank.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty BS when he said it was my water. The fish was obviously in a bad state already, it was already listless and lethargic before the water even had much time to affect it, still what can you do?

I doubt the filter(s) can't cope with the stocking. It's a Jewel Rio 180 (180 litres) stocked with 3 swordtails, 1 rtbs, 1 bosemani rainbowfish, 1 'disc tetra', 1 angelfish and 3 corydoras plus I'm running a Fluval 204 external as well as the standard Jewel internal. If anything, it's...

I agree :good:

Yes, they are. Many shops consider the money more than they consider the fish, they will tell you something is "fine" so you will buy it regardless of its size, and they get money for it. I suggest you take at least one back and ask for store credit for it.

The nitrate was something like 0.05 which is near enough 0 :) I don't test very regularly, perhaps once a month. I don't often have a nitrite reading, no. I'll be doing a 30% water change tonight. I also just started adding plant ferts, could that be causing the nitrite?

I bought 4 swordtails on Saturday, 3 were fine but one looked sickly from the beginning and spent from then till now moping at the bottom of the aquarium. I woke up to find him dead this morning and immediately phoned up the shop that I bought him from. They told me that they only do a 48hr...

Yeah, as long as you can't see the algea, then it isn't a problem. The only problem with algea is it's negative aesthetic value.

I use a Fluval 1 Plus for my Betta splendens, I was recommended it over a Stingray and I must say it does a wonderful job, I highly recommend it.

J/W :unsure:

Thankyou! I think it must have been Pseudeutropius brachypopterus :good:

I saw a pangasius catfish labelled as a "dwarf" pangasius in my LFS, the staff couldn't tell me any information about them so I wondered if any of you guys have heard of any type of pangasius that is "dwarf" in nature? Because I heard they grow to around 4'.

That was pretty funny when he dropped lunch!

You can get stone eggs which kinda look like chicken eggs *shrug* just an idea.
