Hi Andy Have PM'd you again - sorry its a day later than I said!

Just like to add a quick message to say how easy Joyous is to deal with. Bought some BNs off her today and all arrived alive and superbly packed. Cannot fault her at all and would advise anyone to buy from her. Free bump!

Hi Mel Im interested - Will send you a PM

Hi. Do you have any BNs left at all? If so how many please?

Received today (Grr postal services!) Brilliant to deal with, packaged well and survived an extra night in the packaging and still came out in A1 condition. Would recommend anybody wanting these to buy from here.

Hi there. Are there any more of these left?

I have just received some bulbs (NYMPHAEA STELLATA) as they were cheap and thought it would be a nice addition to the tank which should give it a bit of colour with the red. I've read that you should plant 1/3 of the bulb in the substrate and have the other 2/3 out of it. Could anybody confirm...

First batch of plants I got came from Swallow Aquatics in East Harling which I wouldn't recommend. The second lot are from someone I know who can get them trade price for me which is a result. Should look a lot nicer once I get my other plants in next Saturday. I've been dosing TPN+ for the...

Next batch of plants going in a week tomorrow. Also need suggestions for a plec to put in there.

Well, my plants have come in and im still trying to decide the layout. Some of the plants that went in (8 crypts overall) Went from to (eugh) To how it stands at the moment Future Plans I should hopefully have a black background coming from someone over at UKAPS so will have that...

Looking nice mate. As Ace said, love the shot of the Cory! What are the Killifish like? I've got a second tank set up now and can get my hands on some exactly the same as yours and know that my gf likes them too which is a bonus!

Hey Shelagh, thought I would return the favour by having a quick flick through your journal and got to say you have done a great job in planting it without it looking gappy - something I have been struggling with. Have you considered planting some moss or anything onto your wood? This is...

Hi Swayzee My sand basically gets cleaned whenever I think I need to do it (at least 2 times a week on water changes) but this might end up being ever other day or so. Only takes a few minutes to do and it does make the tank look a lot better. Next pics update will be this Saturday when I...

Thanks for your kind words, also nice to see a new face in the journal :) Really looking forward to getting my plants in this Saturday. Theres not going to be a monster amount to begin with, but I'm planning on taking the planting thing slowly and building myself up as my ability grows. I've...

Not been about for a while but have added some new fish and there are quite drastic changes on the horizon! First off - fish pix! I managed to find some Cory Aeneus. First time I have ever seen these before and must say they've made a great addition to the tank so far. Very active and they...

Once again, thank you for the speedy responses, think Aaron must have virtually started typing the second I actually posted the topic!! Think I'll have make a post in the buying forum to see if anybody has any for sale. Before I do though, have you got any other recommendations on what I can...

Thank you both for your speedy replies on the subject. I'm currently planning an 80l shrimp/planted tank so may well move my plants on the left in this tank into there and replace with a type of vallis after all. Really glad to hear that the moss will grow without Co2, I always had it in my...

I might even keep an eye on this if you do it ;)

Hi all. I recently got some Java fern to attach to my bogwood which didn't come with a rhizome. I had already read on the forums that they should really come with one but a reliable source on here told me you can still get away if it doesn't come with one. The pic below shows the edges of the...

Thanks for the reply. Nice to see a new face in here too :) Have taken a few more pics of my tank recently so will throw them in here now. Ive also got 2 videos that I need to upload but not sure if photobucket can manage 25 meg ones?? Now in the process of doing it so I suppose we will soon...

Will see if I can help you with that ;) Just remember, were gonna be identical tank twins soon enough!

Wheres Andy with his picture posts when you need him?

Once again, going to have to apologise for using a poor camera and having poor photography skills! When I've finally got my background sorted (Work in progress!) and photoshop I can get around the bad photography! Bit of a shame as the pictures dont do the fish justice, but you still get the...

Hi there, really nice pics of your fish. Well done :) Do hate to be the bringer of bad news, but I think the plant in your first picture isnt meant to be in a tank. I had one too which I got from my LFS only to find out that its a non aquatic plant.

Back for another big'ish update and I'm a very happy boy! Main update is that I went to see the breeder my friend knows today and I did indeed get mate rates! He didn't have the numbers of the Boesmanis or Corys I was looking to get but he said I am more than welcome to go back whenever I...

This is like Fish Forums Big Brother. Whos next in the Diary Room?

I have now realised that the internet and a search engine is a great thing! I got home today to see my kribs swimming about together as per usual but this time I noticed that the female kept curling her body up and vibrating. Obviously being new to tropical fish and Kribs I got a bit concerned...

I think you've got a tank you should really be proud of. The colours are great, looks natural and does look a bit different from your average tank. Your piece of wood is absolutely superb too, brilliant find there. Are they all Koi Angels in there?

Thanks for continuing to keep an eye on and contribute towards the journal all. Really, really pleased with the way the tank is working out so far and thankfully nothing that I know of has gone wrong. No aggression that I've noticed, the fish that I wanted to pair up are constantly with each...

Can now appreciate just how hard it is to get half decent fish pics! Going to be more to come but heres a couple I got last night of my Bolivians and another one of my Krib. Also managed to get a half decent pic of my Rainbowfish after I don't know how long trying! They've been darting all...

Well, things havent quite gone to plan as I would have liked. I was meant to be getting the fish from a breeder but sadly, he couldnt make today in the end. This isnt really a problem as he is doing me a favour. 100% guaranteed I will be able to pick the rest of my fish up during the week...

Its all about patience ;) Can appreciate its probably a bit annoying trawling through 3 pages and not seeing the main reason why we all keep our tanks though joking aside, sorry! :) The good news is though that as long as my plans do not change I will be starting to stock my tank this Saturday...

Really nice tank mate, the red makes it different to the normal kind of tank that you see. Would you mind listing the plants that you have used? Any future plans for the tank?

Stocking plan is still a bit of a rough draft at the moment. Current plan is: 6 Boesemani Rainbowfish 12 Peppered Cory 2 Kribensis (1M, 1F) 2 Bolivian Ram/Blue Ram (1M, 1F) I'm still trying to decide between which 2 sets of the Cichlids I'm going with. I was originally set on gettin Kribs...

Another little update to just show I'm still about! Went to my not so L FS this weekend and got myself some ferns to put onto my bogwood. I have also since had someone recommend putting some moss onto the slate on the left hand side of the tank to grow over the top which doesn't seem a bad...

Thanks for all the comments/suggestions once more everyone, they really are appreciated. Its also nice to see a few new faces posting in here too! I'm now at the stage where I'm looking at my tank and am actually quite pleased with how it is looking. Still not 100% sure on the slate on the...

Thanks for the input Guppy. I had heard that if you have a decent bunch of Khulis then they will be a little more active than normal. That being said, I don't really mind if I leave these off my list and go for something else. Could get a decent shoal of cherry barbs or one of the larger...

Just gonna clear up a few questions that have been asked so far. Still not overly sure whether I will be getting Angels or not. I'm not overly convinced that they will be ok with both Kribs and some kind of Ram (Probably Bolivian - once again Aces fault!). If it will be ok then I will...
