Id be interested in about 15, how much would you do that for?

I quite like the red torpedo barbs. Have not heard of the snakeheads before but googled and they look mean as hell! Are they not as aggressive as they look? Because they look like they would tear everything apart!

Thanx for the reply. I was thinking of a golden nugget pleco, would this be compatible? Possibly a small shoal of tinfoil barbs or silver dollars, but would prefer something a bit more colourful, any ideas?

Hi all, could people recommend some large friendly fish please. Something like oscars, fish that have character. I will be buying a new tank but as yet dont know what size Id need as I dont know what fish to go for. Would maybe like a large pleco in there too, and some smaller fish just so it...

Agreed! Cheers everyone :good: G

Thanx for the replies everyone! So is calcite unsafe?

Ah thats great, thank you :thanks: :D

Thanx for clearing that up rdd :good:

can anyone shed any light on why it isnt working? Thanx, G

Well it is the white stone that is raising the pH so much. Any rock experts out there?! :unsure:

I cant get the pic in so heres a link! http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp355/c...66/Image009.jpg

The search isnt working! which is annoying ???? Do you have any suggestions about the pH shooting up so much? I have put the rocks in seperate buckets to see if it is one rock in particular that is raising the pH so much. Here is an image of the rocks, not the best I know, but if anyone has...

yeah I have an idea of how I want the tank to look, and it involves quite a bit of rockscape! I have looked at ocean rock but wanted a bit of colour to the stone in there, and the white and orange stone provides a nice contrast. But obviously the welfare of the fish comes 1st. I suppose I could...

Hi, currently setting up my tank for tangs and bought a few pieces on stone. Im not sure what type of stone this is (I'll try and upload a pic soon) but I have two different types - one is an orangey colour and the other is white (the white stone is literally solid as a rock! couldnt break it...

Thats what I wanted to hear! :D Cheers, G

I think that riccia looks cool, in those pics it looks like the leaves on the tree! :lol:

hmm wots goin on!

Agreed!

Is the search function not working for anyone or is it just me? when I try to search I just get an error msg ???? Thanx, G

Hi all, just a question about the pair of Calvus. I have asked my lfs if they could get hold of a black male and female but they warned me that the male would harrass the female quite a bit. Just how aggressive would the male get? Thanx, G

ok great, thanx for your help

what sort of bag should be used for the coral? thanx, G

I hope so! Thank you for all your advice, hopefully wont be too long until its all set up and then I'l try and post some pics. Thanx again, G

Ok thanx for clearing that up! So I think I will go for a pair (m/f) of Alto calvus black, 6 Neo Multis and some Paracyprichromis Nigripinnis. I have read that the Paracyprichromis Nigripinnis can grow to 4" so would there be enough space for 10-12 or would I be better off with around 6-8 as I...

so is it only the juvenilles that would be prey or would the adults be at risk also?

KJ thank you for taking the time to research for me, it is greatly appreciated. Jumpman I like the sound of what you have suggested but would the Alto calvus not eat the shelldwellers like KJ says? If not then this is probably the stocking I will go for. How many Neolamp Multifacitus would you...

Thank you for your responses, I have searches for 'tangs' and Altolamprologus calvus (black?) and Neoamprologus tretocephalus appeal to me. Are these suitable for my tank? Can you suggest any suitable tankmates? I also like the look of frontosas but guess they can get too large for my tank...

Thanx for your help, based on whats been said i'l look at 'tangs'. I have posted the same thread in the african section so will continue on that thread. Thanx again, G

Thanx for your responses. So I gather that most SA/CA cichlids prefer planted tanks then?

Hi, I have a tank 48"x15"x12" (LxHxD) and was wondering what to do with it. I would really like cichlids but I am only new to the hobby and my knowledge is limited at present. Could anyone offer suggestions on suitable fish? I would like to have a rockscape in this tank as I have a 2ft planted...

I would listen to you but you're a makem therefore my sworn enemy :lol: Bring on 12.45pm! Haha (if you hadn't guessed I'm black n white!) Only playin, but back on topic; just a tank of rummy nose? Does anyone have any suggestions of which cichlids would b best suited to a tank this size? I'd...

Hey, do you have any of the weeping moss available to post? Or can you recommend an online retailer? Thanx

ok thanx. would you recommend adding any other supplements, such as a source of iron or anything else? or does TPN+ contain all thats needed?

thanx aaron, i'll look into those when I need to renew my bulb. how much tpn+ do you think would be best to dose, considering its low tech?

Thanx, sorry its poor quality its just from my phone, plus it will only allow me to upload files of 100k, is this because I am a newbie or something? The swords are in the corners at the back, thats why I need them to grow so you can actually see them! I also need to get a black background to...

10ml a day? That must cost a fortune! :hyper: Do you know any good sites for T6 bulbs, just I cant seem to find the size that I'd need? I've attached a pic of my tank, its a work in progress - I am new to this remember! But any comments or suggestions are welcome
