Thanks for the info!

Thanks for that Ian. Definitely got my heart on getting some! I will let you know if i get some and breed them! Thanks David

Yeah, i got myself confused when you said air pump. :lol: I will probably buy 6+ or if they are cheap i'll go for a larger shoal. I got tonnes of java moss in other tanks so thats no problem.

Cool. They will go straight into a 30" tank to settle for a couple of weeks. Then i'll try getting them too breed. Would a fluval 2 produce too much flow? (I have a few air pump lying around though) Thanks for all your help!

Common name(s): Western rainbowfish Scientific name: Melanotaenia australis Family: Melanotaeniidae Origin: Western and north-western Australia Maximum size: 4â€￾ (10cm) Care: These rainbows are very fast swimmers and tank of at least 40â€￾ is needed. Provide large plants for them to hide...

Iksookimia longicorpa! If only i could get hold of some. But otherwise weather loaches without a doubt, luv em.

Beautiful corys!!!!

Thanks. I'll let you all know when/if i get some. :) Oh and has anyone got any info on breeding them?

Thanks JollySue. I read that they liked cooler temps in this article, http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/pfk/...m.php?news=1342 Unfortunately i am in the UK. Thanks David

Hi, I would like to know about the care of these lil guys, ph, water current etc. Also how big do they get? I'm looking to get some for a 5ft subtropical in a few months. I also have intentions of breeding them if i can get hold of some. Cheers David Ps, how do i tell them from long fin...

Or http://www.loaches.com/species-index/picto...sh-ground-color For some of the striped pangios. :rolleyes:

Either but if it is gravel make sure it is round and not sharp. David

This is the sort of thing you should use... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-SHEETS-PLASTIC-CAN...1QQcmdZViewItem

Sorry but without even a discription we don't really stand much of a chance. Not the standerd harlequin but trigonostigma espei perhaps.

in a word NO. they are naturly coldwater. wont thrive in higher temps and will be suceptable to disease.

alrightey. thanks, looks like im sorted. :good: alrightey. thanks, looks like im sorted. :good:

yup half way through reading the stickys. :good: didn't realise clowns were aggressive.lol

cool!!! what order should i put them in?

hi, i should have a 30"x12"x12" tank spare in a few months. i looking into venturing into marine reef. been looking around for the basics for the moment not getting too deep and i think i'm starting to understand it all. but i've been having mixed messages for stocking reefs. this is what...

cheers, will do. :hyper:

not exacly but i think it's about 15-17 imp gals.

I don't realy mind if they're loners or shoaling fish realy, just used to shoaliong fish. :shifty: been doing some research, how about something like... 2 ocellaris clownfish 1 gold neon goby 1 clown goby 1 purple firefish 1 bangai cardinalfish can someone give me some sort of stocking idea...

and the tank has never had any meds or copper in it. :hyper:

will do. would like a small shoal of something though, can you suggest something?

avoid the risk from what? the dragonnets which i've decided to wait till i get a bigger reef(if) and more reef experience.

hello all, i will understock a fair amount because where i live seems to be prone to powercuts(live in the countryside). i thought the dragon nets would be a no no, still got lots to learn about maintaining a saltwater tank so i will stick to the more hardy species like clowns and chromis...

you realy should have a 4ftx2ft at the very min to keep these happy. they are active big fish therefore need bigger tanks. david

arr noo, damn defra. photos showing now. :rolleyes:

beauties! :hyper: want one

well i went to have alook on LOL and yes they are hillstreams but imo aslong as there is a decent flow they'll be fine. imo they are not true hilstreams. but thats just my opinion. photo still not showing for me. david

Am i right in thinking that they are a hillstream loach? no photo showing for me.

not ture they are tropical, so are is the betta, the other fish you have are sub tropical, although they will bo ok for a while but not long. i would keep the temp where it is, if you raise it the sub trops will struggle. i've not had to use white spot med for years so don't know which one is...

i think i'll get some ghost shrimp then. cheers! david

a whole tank to themselves. about 16-20, hopefully a steady 18*c thanks. david

i wouldn't move them. i have no expeirience with these tetras though. but if they are very active, deffinatly not then, the will want alot of space to swim. david

i would say no. they grow over 2.5 inches. have you looked at galaxy rasbora? david

please don't mention them. they can grow to 10" and need a 4ftx2ft at least. but white cloud montain minnows would be ok.

hi all are there any colwater freshwater shrimp that are easy to get hold of? thanks david

googles your friend. :D http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q...tetra&meta= david
