by the looks of things, i would say you have a male oranda :)

We have the edge at the moment, and are selling through them like hot cakes. If you look at it from a store point of view, they are very easy to maintain, small, elegant and quiet. Everything a customer with a bowl wants. The filter in it is amazing, the lighting is enough to keep a few...

Any form of filtration in a tank will be beneficial to the tank and its inhabitants. Betta's are naturally from pools of water, however, placing a filter in the tank will only make the conditions better for them. Eg. I highly recommend a Jebo R331 tank for a betta. In regards to your tank and...

I would agree, there is not enough space for them to happily live together...

if it has not been said before, i may add in my two cents. ;) basically, many fish will not take to zucchini straight up. It takes a while because the veggie is so crisp, I Usually leave it in my tank for about 12 - 24hrs to let the water soften it for them. To keep to to the bottom of the...

looking like you are really starting to get into landscaping your tank. very nice, very nice :nod:

Sure thing. There are a range of plants that you can get that can cost you a very small amount and still survive and grow in these conditions. My initial reaction would be for you to got to your LFS and ask them what they would recomend, however if you are after something to get your mind going...

hmmm... don't know if i should be saying, but it was between 40 - 50k and it was for a private law firm that wanted a series of tropical and marine tanks in the lobby of their office building, and that was after the show discount and bulk purchase discount... it was a bout 2 or 3 years ago

more importantly, they are male Congo tetra's and thank you for all of your comments. Like i said, the show went well and one person ended up spending 20k on a marine setup... :)

how long do you think this would keep for? i mean, it looks like a lot, so i am guessing that it would make a lot of food...

ya, i know, angels and discus do not mix, neither do Congo Tetra's and Silver Sharks, but it was only for 4 days, and they seemed to fair extremely well. Either way, they all came up a treat and the show was a complete success.. thanks for all of the great comments :)

Well, it has been a while, and i am sorry, i know, i have not kept my promise with updating my thread with pic of my tank, but i thought i should explain why... and post some pics ;) For the past few months, i have been busy planning for an exhibition that my aquarium is part of. The Melbourne...

Right... so i should be looking for foreplay :P well... sounds like mine are... either both boys, or both girls... shame

Cheapest - Black Widow Tetra's x 3, $1.20 Most expensive - Spotted Snake Skin Discus, Adult $560.... :'(

any different colourations in the water?

Now, i know you guys have probably been asked this question a million times, however... I have two angels, and i am wanting to bread them. Now. I have had reports that it is easy, and then again, it is one of the hardest to bread as they are so temperamental. Now. I know that it is virtually...

Looks amazing dude... Simplistic but bustling with activity...

I do just that. The fish stay in the tank at all time... i just have to make sure that i do not cover up my loaches or my catfish. I consider it a water change, and often do it just then so that when i take out all of the plants, the crap that is in the water, most of it comes out when i take...

Hey guys, sorry about the delay in the better quality pics, had a few issues around the place that needed attention before i could get a spare few min take these few babies. Now, if you have been following this thread thus far, you will notice that every few months, i change the tanks layout...

The best advice, besides practice is, not to use a flash, have a dark background and do not use the zoom that much, in fact, try not to use it at all as it will lower the quality of you pic. The more zoom, the more sensitive it will be to movement and such like that. A message to all. If you...

congrats dude. This is a major goal. you should be over the moon. From experience, a breading pair will almost always "do the deed" after a water change... simulates a flood in the amazon. Usually it takes them about 10 attempts to get the idea that the area is safe for them to bread... any...

hey guys. long time. sorry about the delay, been a bit busy. so anyway, thought i should update you on my tank. well.. here it is. a bit of a change, but... i like it. These are photo's from my phone, sorry about the crappy quality. I'll have better ones tonight

hmmm white spot... besides the normal blue die treatment. what would you suggest as another good one?

thank you... i am really pleased at how it has come along in the past few months...

hmmm nice... i have two discus now, however, they are both boys so i have to look into that

hey guys, sorry about the delay in the pics... again, i have had a busy week with work and have been absolutely exhausted when i get home... however, i can report that my new addition, a fire dragon discus is settling in quite nicely... :) i love him... and they other boy does not seem to mind...

Ok. I'm seriously considering using RO water in my tank instead of normal tap water... what are you thoughts on this? Do you think it is worth it? what are the benefits of it, and what are the negatives... all comments are much appreciated and encouraged to either win me into getting a...

depending on lighting, water quality and nutrients, it can grow well, however, HC is a plant that needs a lot of light..

really? hmmm... i may want to investigate into the red sea substrate... thanks aaron

Sera plant tabs. works well for me :)

hey... 3-4 watts is what i have, so it is what i suggest.. :) :P works for me hehehehe...

T5 or T8 globes? right... what to start off with... hmmm... pennywort? hygrophila? Ambulia? Wisteria? Rotala Wallichii? lilaeopsis? your options are open dude...

You tank is going through a typical Cycle... it is doing what it is suppose to be doing... When the Ammonia levels increase, Nitrate will also increase because it feeds off the Ammonia. As the nitrate eats away off the Ammonia, you will see that the Ammonia levels will decease and the Nitrate...

Lighting is very important in planted tanks. There are different ways that you can achieve what you want to achieve regarding lights. T5 lighting systems are a high intensity light... usually of a higher wattage and a higher intensity... preferred for more planted tanks. T8 lighting systems...

guys, i think we are over stepping the mark here... yes they are dangerous, but i would not expect anyone to be driving down to their LFS at 80mph like a rally car driver... we all have a seat belts in the car, so use it. Place the cylinder into a box and tie it down with the seat belt...

the white stuff is a fungus... be very careful about the way that you handle it... i have only heard stories about it... when people tried to remove it, they scrapped it off and hoped that the filter would catch most of it... ah... no... 2 days later, the smaller particles had found a home in...

hmm... a few days without Co2 should not really affect you plants that badly... I would not be tooo freaked out by it... just bring the lights back a little bit...

external filter or internal?

to be honest dude, i think it looks fantastic... simplicity always looks good in an aquarium...
