Those lights are normal flourescent tubes right? I'm not too sure if its available over for you guys over there, but we have compact flourescent tubes over here. The tubes are like U shape whcih has been squashed so its effectively like 2 tubes. For me i'm using 36Watts PL(compact flourescnet)...

As for growing, it just grows in size. Mine's growing really slowly. And i haven't seen mine go to the surface before, maybe the light isn't strong enough

I live in Singapore, where it is an equatorial region thus temperatures are about 26-35 deg celcius daily. With this temperature, the day temp for my tank is usually about 30. I got a clip on fan to cool down the water as java and other mosses would simply waste away in the heat. Not sure if...

Just a point to add. Tropheus are vegetarian and meat based foods should not be fed as it can cause bloat. A good vegetarian food to feed would be spirulina

Most commonly would be the chocolate, orange and gold color ones. About your view on inbreeding, it is definitely true for other fish but not for killies; which have a small gene pool and inbreeding does not pose any problems. Letting killies of different species breed together would produce a...

If u really insist, here's something you may wanna consider - cowheart. Remove the veins and visible fat, grind it, maybe you wanna mix it with some stuff like spirulina. freeze it in slabs in plastic bags, when it hardens, cut it up and store in a tupperware.

Australe Gold Pic Compare yours with the one in the pic. Honestly it's pretty hard as female killies are almost all drab and kinda look the same. And danio2004, killies are not oddballs, if anything, carps.

Pretty much all fish food which will sink to the bottom, flakes, pellets, bits, bloodworms, tubifex.

I would go with soft. They should be okay with those fish... It would be great of you could provide java moss for them as i find all shrimps like moss :D

Brochis, corydoras, and aspidoras are all part of the corydora family. i've seen big cories around like adolfoi's and some others. most cories get to pretty big just that they arent usually taht big in shops

with you saying that i suspect u havent seen Cory Habrosus :P

IMO, i would prefer neons with glowlights; cardinals with rummy noses. the 2 pairs grow to about the same sizes which makes it looks a little more uniformed :)

They're african cichlids. require rather alkaline water. prefably like >7.8. Color wise usually grey or a little goldish (Neolamprologus Occelatus), you shouldn't get them if you're really into color. They are small, i do not think they grow past 3". Not all LFS will stock them on a regular...

yeah theorically its so. But when you really keep them in a 10 gal.. it looks VERY empty. i think u're safe even with 10

neons n glowlights 30 cents other tets beside congo (common ones) around a dollar corys (panda, pepper, leopard, bronze, albino a dollar fifty and under feeders around 100 for 2 bucks burundi frontosa around 5 dollars for a small one apistos around 10 dollars ++

hmm... think im gonna get a liberty 100. how easy is it to clean? my eden broke and is leaking from all directions (didn't know it was so flimsy :( ) do you need to use the replacement catridges everytime? otherwise i'd just use box filters as its only a 10 gal tank

wait for smb and juanvedelz to come on and speak to you, they have the big bad meanie cichlids lol

its good but over here too expensive; the model 100 costs 35 and the 200 one costs 50 while a 'pirated' eheim canister costs 80 bucks which works very very well. i purchased an 'eden' brand one and it works well too. but eheim stuffs are always worth it if u can afford them.

are the specks algae?

they're pretty much guppies too right? hehe. i'll go for guppies, saw a pair of red albinos *droolzzzz*

honestly, most of the content of ur dried pellet or flakes also contain what was once fish or something. but yeah, see no evil :)

and very very aggressive

Nothing to do with wood but, can polyurethane be used for my wrought iron stand? my dad said can, but when i went to the shop the shop guy also said its for wood :blink:

Wow, I find it hard to sex even when they are sexually ready for the first time. By the way, just wondering if you had substrate when ur rams spawned. wanted to try using bare tank. well good luck!!! :D

You forgot to state the price. :unsure:

Hmm yeah, the eggs just won't be fertilised and thus cannot hatch.

it you're on a tight budget, you might wanna do DIY CO2 DIY! That link provides many DIY CO2 reactors that seem to be pretty useful. maybe you could find one that suits ur budget and requirements.

it makes excellent filter media for canisters n trickle overhead filters. i heard it was better than ceramic rings o.O? i may be wrong on that but its gd filter media lol

yeap no joke. now they're being dumped into canals until a fine was imposed lol. now ppl who fish often fish LHs. now they are almost worthless. people don't want them anymore

okie i just got my 1ft tank ready (2.5 gals). put sand, put water. waiting for the water to age. put my java moss inside. i was wondering if i open the window, allowing sunlight to come in, will there still be algae) i washed the tank and sand as best as i could and i dun think there would be...

yeah that's the total ugly side of singapore. i myself, am from singapore and many times, singapore has shown its ugly face to the world. although there are many very serious hobbiest here who do not care about money keeping their fish (they don't even sell fries, they give them away), there are...

although i keep rams, i would definitely go with apistos. they aren't as common and hopefully ain't as in-bred as rams. rams IME has very wierd temperaments. since you have experience with apistos already, u shud get them :D

okie i feed Hikari's Freeze Dried Bloodworms to my rams in the morning with some flakes and repeat at night. by the way if you do regular water changes and do not have ur tank in direct sunlight or turn on ur light for too long, you shouldnt have algae. and yes, keeping fish is one of the best...

if your fish arent aggressive and all very very friendly fish you could get some shrimp. here in singapore algae eating shrimps are both nice and readily available. not sure if they're over there where u live tho. the more common species are yamato, cherry, tiger and bumble bee shrimp

she was just trying to help but u're right too inchworm. they kinda ripped the pics and juz modified it slightly. well michelle just bear that in mind otherwise when u go out n work you can get sued for that

ahhh haha that sounds like the shoot of every other plant, no offense tho. you've have to get lights otherwise they'd totally wither out on you unless u get those hardy ones

if u wanna retaliate physically, pm me i can give u a few tips of moves with minimum effort n maximum pain lol, some submission moves i learnt :rolleyes:

some of them can get REALLY MEAN. but i hope urs aren't :) :P

wow seems cool, will keep them in mind next time i get a tank. from their mouth, i suppose they are carnivorous?

woah yesterday after i put them in a 2ft tank, they were really aggressive to each other, lots of lip locking, no obvious damage. both seem scared lol... its like they very hestitant to attack but once one does, the other does not spare anything. but stops after a few seconds. removed the more...
