Anywhere else? That place is infested with hundreds of spam posts at the minute. Tanks set up now, now starting to actually look for them for sale.

A lot of the other ones just look boring to me. Keeping vertebrates really does my head in though, so much conflicting accounts online, so much simpler with invertebrates. I had read a bit and for a quite a while tha that this tank would be ok, so i was gearing up, saving, and even getting bits...

Great, that rules them out then. Thanks for the help anyway, think i might just sell this whole tank before i even start it :(

So my tanks finally being set up, and i think i've finally decided what i want to keep in there. I think these snakeheads are one of the most stunning species i can reasonably keep. I want to get a small young group untill a pair naturally forms and hope to one day breed them. I've had people...

Metal i guess, its the typical bog standard lid.

Anyway to get rid of it? No stains on the tank itself, rinsed it through several times with salt aswell followed by water. Can i still keep a pair of snakeheads healthily in there? Hoping to one day breed them.

Got a new tank for some snakeheads and the lid is stained blue from some treatment. I cant remember what the fish treatment was but i was told it apparantly evaporated and stained the lid. I tried pouring hot water over it and scrubbing but it didnt even scratch it. Is it ok to leave it there or...

Have you had any luck yet? I might be looking for some also once i get my tank sorted.

Im trying to set up a small Paludarium for some Geosesarma crabs, or if all else fails some tiny darts. I got a left over aquarium with a built in light, plus an air stone and pump, heater, and filter, its 27cm high, 30 wide, and 30 deep. I've been trying to read up on them but every source...

I dont think hes lost wieght, havent noticed and he still has one hell of an epetite when it comes to worms. He's always swimming around and seems perfectly normal. My first and only bichir but he's had them since i got him.

Hes had them since i got him, doesnt seem to affect him in anyway but i've finally got a picture that shows them and i want to find out what it is. Any idea what it is? They seem very slightly raised although im not too sure. Forgot i posted this before, had a look at the old thread and no...

Absolutely terribly crap program. I despise every single one of these false and staged reality TV shows, the characters just do my head in. I thought one about an interest of mine might be different, but no, everyone in it are still over the top and fake, and im no expert but i didnt like the...

So im finally trying to sort out my own tank, i needed a desk to get it on which is now sorted and a lid. I've hadno experiance shopping for a lid before, the measurements are 29 inches in lengh by 11 inches in width (28cm and 74cm) The rims for the lid are pretty thing so it has to be pretty...

Cant tell if its a different species or just individual colour, but i havent seen any with a red blotch like this on the side :/

Im getting veryannoyed with fish to be honest at the minute, no matter how i try tolook after it all someone always gets something imcompatible and i have to sort it out. My Bichir is just taking an interest in someones lone guppy, so i've got to move that guppy into the only other tank we have...

Yeah i know, pretty annoying. We've had that tank for years, and my mum and sister always pile tiny fish like guppies and tetra's in so i cant have my fish, i finally get a chance when the tanks empty then they go and buy even more knowing about my fish <_< At the time i got him i was told some...

Lol thanks, yeah thats my sisters annoying fish, she never thinks about what she gets, she just raids the 50p odds and ends tank at any LFS <_< Its stolen the last 2 worms i tried to give my Senegal previous :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=m8fyxsn7W9I I was pretty worried about my bichir, but since the worms hes been fine, nothing wrong what so ever. I found this worm the other day and though he'd want one seeing as i havent been able to catch one lately, but it was only...

Is it possible to arteficially incubate Geosesarma eggs? I brought a pair yesterday, now this morning both are dead, actually fallen to pieces :/ Just wondering if i could salvage the females eggs.

I just a pair, had a few a while ago but lost some of them and passed the rest on. Anyone got any decent links? They are extremely hard to find and i got some at a bargain price so i couldnt resist, since the last time i had tonnes of resources of sites, but now i cant find them anymore :/ I...

Those Exodens look pretty boring to me :P So are there no Channa sp. that will fit in my tank?

Got 4 of these the other day, cant wait till they get bigger, really want to get them breeding :) In my sig is 4 water scorpions which are a native species to the UK, found them in a ditch and reared several of them to adult, never got them to breed though. These Abedus though can breed...

Oh and what about C.ornatipinnis? Are they the same sort of size?

Thanks for the input, realy like the look of the Channa bleheri. I know they do best in a species only tank, but my parents dont really like the idea of using the fish tank i've been allowed for just two fish right now. Are they easy to breed? Really wanted to try breeding some kind of...

Thanks, been doing some browsing since and came up with dwarf snakeheads, which is a nice surpise, one of my most wanted fish :D

Im no good at math, but i have an empty tank at least 70 long, 40something cm high and deep, i think its about 20 gallons. I havent set it up yet, i was allowed my own fish tank for years, not that i am theres a bit of a space issure so it wont be set up for a while. Any idea's for anything that...

There was one small gibbicep in there which never bothers anything and pretty secretive, but those patches had been there when i first got him, plus they are slightly raised, will they disappear if it is from a pleco? But my bichir is the only thing alive in the tank now, how long would it be...

Got a better photo, can anyone help me? Or direct me to somewhere i can get an answer? Browsing hasnt helped :(

Got a better photo, can anyone help me? Or direct me to somewhere i can get an answer? Browsing hasnt helped :(

I cant get any better pics than this but you can sort of make it out just between the eyes and another patch behind it, they are slightly raised :/

Here's the best pics i can get, i'd really appreciate if someone can help with this, im pretty devastated at the minute, something went wrong with out fish tank heater, pretty much boiled every single fish in there, came home to find everyone dead :( Apart from my bichir amazingly, but now im...

When i got my senegal bichir it had some faint blotched around its head which i assumed was just the colouration, but when i looked at it today they have risen up and look like growths of some kind, what could they be? Is it something likely to go to my other fish?

Thanks for all the advise, and i already have a couple of Ctenopoma, i love em :D Guess thats a no for the leaf fish then, wondered why there didnt seem to be many people keeping them :( I'll have a look into the Microctenopoma :)

Whilst i've had my bichir its only been fed on invertebrates so far :) Never really liked puffers much for some reason :P I like more camoflouged looking fish, like the south amarican leaf fish. Ideally my most wanted fish now are snakeheads, but i deffiniately know the tank requirements for...

Thanks for your help again :) I only planned on keeping one individual, and at the moment its in a 100cm long tank, i had read a lot up about them from vartious different sources which all said they often dont reach the largest size and stay a bit smaller. It does sound like my bichir is way...

Currently my bichir is in the family 100cm long tank, but everyone wants to get small fish again soon, but the good thing is is that this means im finally allowed my own fish tank for him to move in to. Im just about to pop out so i cant get the actual size in L, but here's the measurements of...

I think one of my spotted bush fish has broken its jaw :( A few days ago i noticed it go for a blood worm and extended its jaw, but it couldnt retract it straight away, and kept trying to, every time i did i heard a clicking noise even though the fish is only under a couple of inches long :/ Was...

I didnt get one in the end, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut a while later i came across a shop with one lone senegal juvenile and brought it :D Had him for a few weeks now, love the little fella :D Plus my parents also changed their mind on me having a tank, so come november i can finally get my very...

I'd name my carnivores, but wouldnt bother naming a shoal or something like that, my Polypterus is named Nihlus :3

For a while now there has been algae in our tank, it started a few months ago, went on holiday for 2 weeks and who was looking after our pets unplugged the filter of the fish tank :/ Its been getting real noticeble lately, its dark green and seems to be forming like a gloupy carpet, from what...
