I think they scatter the eggs around/on plants

Very nice, i love it!

Parotocinclus jumbo They grow to about 6 cm (2.5" ish) I think. Also better to keep in pairs i think

Pitbull pleco? not sure if these get too big or not for a 15 gallon

They really shouldn't be kept with gourami's or tetra's. Not sure about the other fish.

Do you keep a betta in with all them?

:hey:

I like it, very nice! I'd have put a few taller plants to the left to hide the heater etc more but still very nice

This topic might be of help. http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=152579

Oh, i've always heard they are bottom to low level fish! :blush:

What about corys? I'm unsure if they can be kept with Rasboras but I know they are peaceful bottom dwelling fish. http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showforum=38 Have a look there for more Someone else wil be able to give you more information

Yea I suppose it could get quite tedious :hey: Though i'm sure you'd rather be safe than sorry! :good:

I'd rather boil/soak a piece of bogwood than risk using any varnish solutions.

Very nice! I'm very much a newbie too, just starting out now. Though my tank won't be setup for a couple of months as I have to pay and go on 2 holidays!! After these holidays i'll get some money together and get it all setup when I have time, hope it looks as good as yours!! Phil

Try this site mate, you might be able to find something there. http://www.shrimpcrabsandcrayfish.co.uk/ cheers, Phil

You could get the "IE inside Firefox" addon for your Firefox. You can then set this to be used as default for any website you specify. E.g. Install the add on, set MSN.com to be used by the IE add on and when you browse to this page in firefox it will load in the IE tab working perfectly...

Hi scubadoo, If you don't mind could you post the authors/titles of these and I will look into it thanks Also thanks BigC for the recommendation Phil

Thanks. I seen this book when I went into the book shop in town so will probably get this one! Just wondering if anyone could recommend a basic book that outlines basic things in an aquarium e.g. setting up, cycling, filters, testing water etc as i'm a newbie Cheers for the reply, Phil

Hey all, Just wondering if anyone could recommend me a few tropical freshwater aquarium books? I've been researching them on the internet (mainly this forum) but I'd also like to read a few good books. Thanks for any help! Phil PS Available online would be nice so I could get them delivered...

Is this the wood you got from pet smart? I'm quite interested in it

I love your tetra tank! Did you get the subsrate, plants and wood from your LFS? I really like the look of it

Take a look at this website http://www.shrimpcrabsandcrayfish.co.uk/

I believe that is too much for an 18 gallon. I've read you need about 50 Gallons alone for a clown loach

I've been told you can get Algae eating Shrimps or Snails. Not sure what type though, you'd have to ask someone that knows something! I don't know much

What would you recommend for a 10Gallon tank. Some gobies or corys? If using a sand substrate. That gobie's a nice looking fish Phil

:D

Ok, I thought so. Just wanted to make sure! :P Thanks

Would 6 x black neon tetras, 6x glowlite tetras and 6x neon tetras be ok for 7 gallon tank (as stated in MtbGirl's signature)? Just wondering as I've got a 10 gallon and am still deciding on what to stock. Thanks

Oh sorry I thought you meant with the water in :) I don't think anybody would be able to pick up a 6foot tank full of water :D

I was thinking of some cherry barbs. What kind of Shrimp do you recommend? Haven't seen much information about them on this forum (I may not have looked everywhere yet) :P Thanks, Phil

Using a calculator I got: Tropical Rectangular aquarium Length: 72 Inches Width: 24 Inches Depth: 24 Inches Volume: 149.49 UK gallons Weight of water: 1493.87 lbs (677.61 Kg ) Don't know if this is correct though, here is the calculator...

Great Lakes posted these in another thread, very useful http://mike-edwardes.members.beeb.net/converter.html http://convert.french-property.co.uk/

I've heard with a small tank you could just do 100% water changes if you didn't want to cycle your tank. I'm not positive on this so forgive me if i'm wrong

nmonks, How big do the Malayan snails get? Small enough to keep in a 10 G tank?

I strongly advise you read this thread, http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=113861 It has been extremely helpful to me as a beginner. As for the fish, i'm not sure but no doubt people on here will let you know. Eveyone has been really helpful to me! Welcome to the forum

Thanks for that dave. Would you say these are easy to clean etc for beginners?

I have just bought my fish tank and have been researching how to cycle my tank. As a total beginner that knows nothing at all (at the minute) about keeping fish I must say that this topic is very very helpful! I now have a much clearer understanding of how to cycle my new tank! Very good work...

I won't. Still reading up everything I can about it so I know i've got everything I need before I start to cycle it... Thanks!

Thanks very much for all your advice! I'll have a look around There will probably be more questions coming in the future though! :D Thanks Ok, i'll take a look at this. Is it relatively quiet? as the tank will be near my bed! :P

Ok, thanks for that! I heard 1 or 2 barbs would have been ok from another source but i'd rather be safe and go for a few danois or tetras. Is there a bottom dwelling fish i could keep with either tetras or danios?
