With the crabs if you were to get one/some then i would go for red crabs the dont get extremly big ive had mine for about a yr now and havent lost any fish to them there scavengers they eat fish that are all ready dead but maybe mine are just lazy and plasid lol but they do have a tendency of...

cheers any more opinions would be great :)

there about an inch but there fed pellets and are scavengers more than hunters the only eat the dead fish and they dnt get much bigger than that :)

as a joiner my self i personally wouldnt go for mdf or chipboard it may be the cheaper way of doing things but in personal experience if that stuff gets wet ur in for a bumby ride it can bow and even collapse and under that amount of pressure (gallons) i would say its not worth the risk for the...

there in the same tank but in a breeding net atm sorting out a tank for them tommorow as i just got my wages today^^ theyve been in the net for about 2 days now is it a problem keeping them in a net for a long period of time or will they be ok ?

somthing ive been wondering about for a while now is why one guppy is soo much bigger then the others it seems she is pregnant but her stomachie area is about 3 quarters the size of her she looks quit bloated reckon its a heavy pregnancy or an infection of some sort shes had alot of litters so...

ah brilliant ty peeps your advice has helped alot and secured my pleco a pleasent and forfilled life tyvm and look foward to updating my profile with some pics when my main comp comes back from repair ^^

ah tyvm :) well its seems fine today i invested in a heater so that should keep her going till i get my new tank up and running also with a new tank shud i leave the algei to build up a lil before introducing her or would she be ok being added more or less straight away? and also i take it...

im getting a larger tank and the full equipment soon but apparently that heat is ok as the place i got it from they where in 60of this is according to the lfs but ive seen a few articals on here now saying they have been wrong but thanx for the advice :)

no my tank isnt heated but its 69of and yeh gbd is what i meant where the skin crakles ect hopefully there isnt too much oxygen in the water =/well it hasnt been acting this way today not that ive seen maybe it was just where it was settling in as it was newly aquired yesterday?

well im pretty sure the oxygen levels are ok as i have an air pump and live plant in there was a bit worried about there being to much oxygen tbh due to reading a forum about a disease caused by too much oxygen and the tank siz is as follows: Length-30" Width-12" depth-15" and its just the...

out of curiosity ive noticed my beautiful newly obtained pleco for hours on end extremly hyper active ^^ but i was just wondering it swims to the top of the water extremly fast and then returns to where it was feeding is this somthing to be worried about or not? also its a common pleco

ah brilliant ty also do you reckon an air pump and pond weed is too much oxygen for them considering i read this forum about to much oxyegn? and could someone explain to me the % water change and what is meant by it and how i should go about it?

Hi there im kinda new to the fish thing and this question doesnt match this forum but i have no idea where to submit it so here it goes i recently got a pleco and was wondering wether it needed a heater or is it ok as a coldwater fish?
