bump again before it goes on ebay

Bump

I have for sale an Aqua medic 24" cube tank with a hang on back skimmer and internal pump, over head metal halide lamp (and bulb) with ceiling hanging kit and cabinet (beech effect). All you will need is a couple of powerheads and some live rock to get it set up and going. This tank has never...

To be honest they could be any one of the small brown rays species, i'm not expert enough to tell them apart.

Having a flagtail with rays didn't work for me, the flagtail developed a taste for ray skin and started feasting on them at every oppertunity, some people have more luck with the combination but I've seen and heard of it often enough not to risk keeping them together myself. Distichodus are an...

Looks like a Mystus vittatus

Their mouths are deceptively large and can stretch to take quite large prey, they will eat classic fish shaped fish like barbs and sharks up to around 6 inches long with ease.

Im lucky with the 900g that it drains from the top so the surface is always kept free of oil and floating scum and all my other tanks run on big air powered sponges which break up any oil on the top. Squid i have tried before without much success, they don't seem to like the texture. I've...

We've got about 8 inches here in Twickenham and its still snowing heavily now, they're predicting up to another 10" by tomorrow morning, all the schools are shut the buses and trains aren't running and most people haven't gone to work.

Interesting and worrying as i use cheap frozen prawns as the main bulk of my fishes diet and feed mussels as an occasional alternative. I have recently started usig more cheap white fish (haddock and pollack) and trout as prawns have risen in price and this seems like a better diet nutrtion...

Can you see the pictures now though?

One and a half pound!! Try 3lb 14oz, that fish is over 18 inches nose to tail. Your right i think only mods can attach pictures in this section, i'll see if i can link it back with IMG tags.

what about now?

odd, i can see them

Thats odd, they showed up in your quote box. It was an unexpected catch while bream fishing, took it on a small redworm.

Dumping these here since i've forgoten my photobucket password and need them elsewhere.

Looks nothing like a Hemisorubim, the head shape is all wrong for a start. I'd say it was a juvinile jurense myself.

Some species of Cichlid only mouth brood the fry once the eggs hatch, Satanoperca jurapari is one example I can think of from the top of my head, it could be that C.ornatipinnis mouth brood in the same way. Congrats Nelly, job well done.

Thats an impressive collection of fish, i'm quite jealous :(

Only if you want to see pictures that resemble greasy green smears, a combination of poor lighting, reflective walls and lack of a good camera or photography skills makes all pictures come out crap.

Looking good, those shovels might just about be big enough for the 900g.

You can expect everything apart from the plec to be eaten, Clarius are eating machines.

Silver arowanas (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) grow a hell of a lot faster than that, mine reached 24 inches in under 12 months and at one point was growing around an inch a week, it litterally went from being on the border line of being a meal for its tankmates to being the longest fish in the tank...

As long as the tank is empty (ie no loose bits of equipment in the tank) and the lighting and covers removed then there will be no problem up ending it, just put something soft down on the floor (i use a big 24" square of 2" thick polystyrene sheet) and carefully put the tank down onto whatever...

Lots of rubbing and chasing but no sign of any actually breeding as yet. I think it will require them to have a tank to themselves before they are comfortable with it.

The species most commonly reffered to as FW baracudas are members of the Acestrorynchus family, Ctenolucius species are usually reffered to as tropical gars, that is at least within the predatory fish keeping community. Acestrorynchus are shy nervous fish which are difficult to feed as they...

I'm suprised yours has grown slowly simonas, i have two (m & f) which are about 18-20 inches long and i found that they grew very quickly, easily reaching over a foot within a year.

If you find an armatus then expect to part with at least $1000 for a small one, these fish are rare in the hobby and most get sent straight to Japan and Singapore where serious collectors pay vast sums of money for them. An armatus would not survive with piranha, despite their appearance they...

Any fish kept with pirahna are potential meals including other pirahna.

Anostomous are fairly aggressive territorial fish which will nip at the fins and eyes of other fish, really they are best kept in groups of their own kind in a species tank set particularly for them with lots of rock/slate for them to shelter in and pick food from the cracks and crevices. They...

:lol: i've got a Hydrocynus vitattus in one of my tanks, they are pansy fish that are scared of their own shaddows.

Wildwoods fish prices can be found here http://www.tropicalfishfinder.co.uk/stores...4&type=Fish , time to get the fish encylopedia out.

Hows its temperment so far? Pikes are usually a pest in community settings.

Wildwoods have one of the best selections of fish in the country and do a mail order service charged at £12.50 per box, packaging is the same as Trimars with the fish double bagged with added oxygen and sent in a poly box with a heat pack by over night courier.

These fish are as hard as nails, i've kept mine in water ranging from mid strength brackish water (1.010 SG) to room temperature freshwater and it has thrived in everything. They do seem to have some problems with locating food and do best with smelly foods such as pieces of fish and mussels...

Why the big change, or i am not the only one to suffer some huge losses recently?
