this may be a stupid question but thought id ask! Is it possible to add the juwel structured backgrounds to an already up and running tank? Thanks luke

thanks guys/girls, yeah i thought it was a good price as you also say i payed 30 for a 2inch one ish, seems to have settled in now so all good!

yeah i agree 114, think the fin is just slightly closed on that pic makin it look "stripey"

i think its a L114 http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/image.php?species=pseudacanthicus+cf_leopardus&image_id=1213 http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=208 any way i bought it yesterday payed £40 and its almost 8 inches, didnt think it was a bad price i payed £30 for...

yea very unhelpfull my apologies

looking for a largish corner slate cave any1 no where they sell them??

i have glow lights in with my discus, ive got 20 of them and there at 30 degrees and perfectly fine and very active, have had cardinals and neons in past with other fish at around 28 and i dont think neither is hardier than the other if your waters right then its right no problems with either...

i dont think there stunted they were only born in january? and they been fed beef heart n prima sucne were born, think some of it is stress tbh they are looking alot more confident nw there all at the front so maybe things are looking up, thanks for comments about the tank ive just trimemd...

here are the pics some are okay some are bad the discus are near the bottom of the album http://s896.photobucket.com/albums/ac169/AoDTyphy/Fish%20tank/ i noticed the discus are all crowded around the heater not right at top gasping or anything, the larger ones seem to be hanging around the...

i could try that but surely when they were bred in 30 degrees and stayed in the same 30 degrees since they were born then they will be best kept in that temp?

i cross checked all my water stats with the water i bought them from at the lfs, also i made sure the temp was the same as theres 30 degrees, the water has been cycling since last november as i wanted it correct ive checked and checked every other day for the last few weeks to make sure it was...

yeah tank is roughly 100 gallons

i hope so

temp is 30 and there is an air pump and stats are ok i think ph is 6.8 atm

only had them a day or so now but some of the tails look a little frayed and split do you think this could jst be stress and settling in?? its not all of them but most and are hovering at top of tank, water stats still fine

i was going to do either 50 litre water changes every other day, it dosent sound that much really but its 200 a week ish, or 100 litre water changes every other day, at the moment there still hiding, came out last nite and were in the centre but this morning hiding again :)

yeah ive read so much i think thats what putting me worried to be honest, every1 always says diff things, they seem to be very good actually considering only been in tank a few hours the colour is coming threw and they are out at the front so looking good

well ive got them the special tetra prima dicus food, and also got 3 packs of frozen food. the guy at my lfs is very good to me chucks alot of free stuff in got all ten yes between 2" to 3" and the food and 3 packs of frozen beefheart and for £110 which i thought was quite good, he also use to...
