Ah ok, that's what I thought as well, although after some investigation it seems that 32 degrees pretty much kills it. Incidentally I'm treating some fish with ich at the moment and have the temp at 30ish and also medicating above the advised dose with King British WS3 which seems to be going...

I don't really understand your problem, why do you want to turn the temperature up?

I thought this was going to be a thread about some awful disease!

I ordered from Wholesale Tropicals in London, decent prices and arrived quickly, well packaged and fish were fine. They have some stuff listed on Tropical Fish Finder, but give them a ring if there's something specific you want.

Such a bad analogy, would you like to live in a normal tank all your life?

That seems like quite a lot of fish for a small tank. I also find rummy noses to be very active so I definitely think they should be in a longer tank. And as said above many of the species you have chosen like to be in groups (and actually look better in larger groups I think). I don't think...

Ok, thanks, but why is live rock filtration not used in freshwater tanks?

Sorry to sort of hijack the thread but why is "live rock" used in saltwater tanks? Even saltwater sumps seem to use live rock instead of traditional media, why not just use normal filters/media that are used for freshwater setups?

I've had good results with WS3, I try to do a water change every 2nd day.

I lost a shrimp a little while ago, I'd had it for a few months but then it just dissapeared. I noticed a glowlight tetra eating a little white bit around the same time so it could have died and then eaten. Most shrimps are also supposed to be very good escape artists so it could have escaped...

Let me know how it is, I might make a trip there sometime but getting trains places get expensive and when I consider the cost of delivery from somewhere like Wholesale Tropicals it doesn't seem worth travelling when you don't know if they're going to have an interesting selection in stock. I am...

Although they're hard to get, I have a group Biotodoma cupido in a similarly sized tank. I got them from Aquatic Rooms in Edinburgh a few months ago, but they were also in stock at Outside Inside Aquatics at Haddington recently as well, so keep an eye out as they are a really nice and smallish...

Hi, I don't actually have any experience with these guys but it seems that sexing is different, although there's a breeding pair in my LFS and one, presumably the female was noticeably smaller and looked quite like yours but the male was very big and chunky.

I'm guessing refreezing isn't such a good idea as usually on human food it advices not to. Sometimes I defrosted a cube, use half, and keep the remainder in the fridge over night and use it again the next day and I've never had any problems with this.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your idea, but I really don't see the point, there only seems to be two drawers and they're on the same level, so why have them in the sliding mechanisms? You could just put both drawers on a surface and avoid the whole sliding problem.

Yup it's the same George Farmer, I think Neale Monks also posts on here and sometimes has stuff in PFK.

Perhaps he means parrotfish?

Looks great, how long have you had it? Something I've been wondering: People often seem to talk about stability of their datnoids and from what I understand this refers to the contrast of the stripes, but does it also refer to the behavior/mood of the fish? I haven't really noticed this term...

It does seem to be a hard magazine to get a hold of round here aswell, there's only two newsagents I've found in Edinburgh that sell it.

Wow they look great, what sort of set ups are you keeping them in?

Definately not a firemouth, as other people have said its an Apistogramma probably in the Macmasteri group. Pics here: http://cichlidae.com/gallery.php?genus=Apistogramma

Thanks, I've moved him to a quarantine tank for half dosing and will use normal dosages on the main tank.

Hi, I am about to treat my tank with King British WS3 which contains malachite green but we have a twig catfish (Farlowella Acus) in the tank, will the medicine be okay with him?

How do you move the 20 gallon bucket??

Thanks for the info, it was the Gold I was looking for. I'm a bit confused now as after a bit of Googling I found them on this site: http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/199103/product.web which says they are 1/8 of an inch which is quite a bit smaller than yours, are you sure you have the...

Just wondering if anyone could tell me how big the Hikari Cichlid Pellets are? I'm thinking of ordering some online but want to order the right size. The site I'm looking at has the medium and mini sizes so it would be great if someone could tell me what size the pellets are or what fish they...

Wow they look really nice, any full tank shots?

How appropriate...

The website looks good, good work!

Ugh damn that's annoying, apologies! I just presumed it was a recent topic as it was on the first page!

Your "blueberry tetras" and "painted glass tetras" are probably dyed fish, I wouldn't go back to the shop from which you bought them.

This morning the lights on my Juwel Rio 180 (Multilux 100) don't seem to be working properly. When I flick the switch the lights buzz and flicker a little for a couple of seconds and then just go off. The same happens after leaving them off for a few seconds and then tuning back on. I can't...

I had a similar problem when cycling a tank with mature media recently, the ammonia still seemed to be very low but not quite zero. I ended up comparing it to two mature tanks, one looked like it had zero but the other gave the same reading as the cycling tank. I think this was because of the...

Aw that's unlucky about the Ogons :( What will you do with the fry once they've grown up?
