Tank bred Hmm,From what I have read,it is very rare that they have been in captivity,if at all.It wasnt so much a bottom feeder i was after,more of a colour thing

Tricky one.Depends on what sand it is.If it is something fine like aragonite,then yes it will be hard to clean without syphoning it out.You could have a look for a low powered battery gravel cleaner that may pull the cr** out and leave the sand behind,or use the the attachment that comes with...

I was browsing various fish forums on the net,and came across an article on Clown botias that said these fish would make good companions for some of the more peaceful Mbuna.Anyone tried this? as it did suprise me a bit.Opinions please. :good:

Was in there on Monday as it is only down the road from me.Bought my first two fish a pair of yellow Labs.A bit dearer than tingley £8.99 but very good quality.Only grouse I have is that they are just marked up as mixed Mbuna.So you really need to know what you are looking at.But some good...

£28??? that is a right rip off.I see you are from Leeds.Where in Leeds did you see these prices?I was in Tingley Tropicals in Leeds last week and they are selling named fish at an average of about £6 each

Hi folks I am a long term marine fish keeper and fancy a change.I have just pilled down my marine reef system and fancy a go at rifts.I have a 48"x15"x24" deep tank empty at the moment.I was thinking about putting in a under gravel filter with two 1000l per hour powerheads and a small internal...
