What has happened to this forum i have been trying to login on my phone for 3 weeks but cant get in  login from PC right away    I have gone peacock bass crazy    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL0JbxnCCzs

Hi just a little update I have stated thinking about peacock bass I think they would look good in my tank I have found this 14" male kelberi and I'm looking for another 3 or 4

I'm sorry to say my big female p14 died today It was my own fault for not moving her sooner after she was getting harassed by 2 males She was over 8 years old and would rather die than breed She was born in my old tank 2 males was trying to breed with her but she wouldn't give it up...

All the oddballs I own are my fav that's why I purchased them and kept them over 8 years lol Stingrays Asian Arowana Tigrinus catfish Datnoid pulcher And not a oddball 14" tinfoil barbs

I have had this little girl about 4 months now One of my fav rays

I do feel sorry for a lot of pond owners as they always seam to have problems posting pics lol

Well a 15gal is way way to small and will not stunt the Ray it will kill it Rays need a large water volume not just to grow but to like If you only have 15gal the water would be polluted within 12 hours not something you should be doing to a £1000 fish You shouldn't buy a Ray for anything...

I sold the pair of pearl rays and got this male p14 size about 9" disk he will turn black and white as he grow s

Picking this up next week I like it a lot

It's been sometime so this is the pearl rays they have grown fast and eat like pigs Oops I don't know how to rotate the pic

You know what I haven't read it yet but have been told the aro looks amazing due to the lights they setup on my cover glasses

Hi guys My tank has a full 5 page write up on my tank this month in practical fish keeping You probably don't need to read it if you have read this thread but still nice for me to get it old school on paper

Not got the cambelli After years of keeping lots of tiger fish in the one tank the big tiger decided he wants the tank to himself he won't tollorate any other tigers in the tank now

The hybrid is in the grow out tank for 3 months The good thing about having my grow out connected to my main tank is I can leave pellets in the small tank all the time for small fish to graze on without it affecting the water buffet style Yes this thread has hit 50 pages now

Well I got the little hybrid ray dropped to my house at 2am and I must admit it was a bit smaller than I was expecting

Right a little update I have this little female pearl to go with the male I also have this female coming next Friday This one is a hybrid ray the parents are mother black diamond x pearl the father is henlei x leopoldi I'm hoping to breed her with my male p14 in a few years then she will...

Yes it's cost a bit to run In the summer with no heaters on it cost about £30 per week now buy the time you add other things in like food and other bits to run the tank is probably £55-£60 per week

This is about the most resent picture One more I will take a fresh video soon

That's for asking about health it's all good I walk about fine now on robot legs 4 years now this tank has been running with not 1 water change by hand I still love every part of the hobby

Little update pic now in the big tank Ooooops forgot to ad pic

I sort of started off at the higher end of rays back in the 90s before everyone had internet so hard to get much info on them I started off with leopoldi which was £125 which was a lot of money back them Looking back the leopoldi grow to big for the 6x2x2 I kept it in A very small ray is...

The turtle is long gone It was a good idea but fish and turtles don't mix It only went well for about 5-6 months them he started nipping at the rays so he had to go which was a shame as Fly River turtles are getting very rare now The only reason I tried the turtle was I was thinking they...

It's been a long time since I posted so a little update I got this male pearl ray a few months back he has grown real well in my pup tank and will be joining the big boys soon Also practical fish keeping came to do a visit last Friday and it will be in the mag in 2-4 months

just living the dream

as for parasites i swear by a uv steralizer they are expenciove new but you can pick one up cheap on ebay for about £20   i wouldnt run a tank without one   if you pay £20 on a 15w vectron uv think about how much money that will save you on meds alone

I do feel a very high percentage of even small 10g tanks are very over stocked For a 20 gal owner a 75 gal is a massive tank The size of tanks we all have may be bigger or smaller but the size of fish we keep changes with the size tank we have I haven't changed the mix of fish I keep for...

Hi   im a big fish guy and can i just say no matter how big your tank is you will always end up over stocked to some extent   i know everyone is telling you this and that fish get to big for your tank but its not the full grown size of all fish that counts its how long you want to keep them  ...

not posted pics of my big cat for ages           the lighter is full size zippo not the small girls type and my tank is 19mm 3/4" glass which make the fish look small

the new male should be mature and ready to breed in 10 months give or take a few months   but i think it will be a long time before they can handle the big girls

sad day   the king is dead after having a fight and trying to breed  with my biggest female       from front lip to tip of the tail 30" disk size 18" 6.5 years old   long live the new kide on the block     this shows how big my females are this new male is 9" disk   i have another male coming...

i picked this new guine tiger fish up the other day as it was to nice to turn down   and my change of tinfoil barbs is complete getting all the barbs took about a year as i grew them in my ray pup tank then when they got to big for that i swapped them with my mate   i have 7 barbs now all about ...

right   i was running a drip system which pushed 200 gal per day into the main tank with a over flow on my sump this was run throw a HMA filter first which is bassically a ro unit without the membrain so no waste water   the problem with this is my ph from the tap is high 8 so the tank would sit...
