This new Society, is very much up an running. Our next meeting is on the 15th December 2011, at the VCafe, RAF Scampton, just North of Lincoln, and off the A15. Our new upgraded and improved website is also now online and expanding. Please take a look and see what you think at:-...

Thank you Tolak.

Gents... start one yourself maybe? You already have two interested? I started one in Lincolnshire... you just need enthusiasm... Good luck. Mark (Lincolnshire AS)

Hi Amy The 'head butting' is typical Ram behaviour, and is 'territorial'... usually between two males. They are working out who is the 'alpha male' if you like. It is harmless and amazing to watch. The best ways to spot the difference between males and females is to look at the large black...

I would have gladly bought your cardinals from you had I known you wanted to move some on... :no: Shame.

Looks great as always Ian. Also valuable and interesting to see the progression stage by stage.... but where are the cardinals... you gotta have Cardinals surely?

Great photograph - and gorgeous fish. The guppy remains a favourite for me, often under rated by so many 'aloof' experts.

White.. keep the layout how 'YOU' like it... its only your opinion that really counts, and only you that will sit for hours watching it. A few rude comments on here if you ask me. Regarding Sand, I swear by it, and it is easy to maintain. You just need to give it a good stir once a week, to...

Good luck with that FF, and would love to know how you get on. Speak to as many hobbyist breeders as you can, they are the best source of information I have found, and even if they don't have stock, they usually know someone who might. If you do find some good quality stock, maybe you could...

Great photographs, gorgeous fish, and a really fresh and vibrant looking tank. Thank you for sharing and am very impressed!

Good Point - false economy in the long term.

Thank you very much Andy!

Hi FF Any luck finding the GBR you were looking for in Toronto? Here in the UK, most Rams sold at LFS are bred in South East Asia, and 'shockingly bad' in quality. By the sound of your post, this could also be true in Canada I'm guessing? You are wise to seek stock from a breeder or from...

Thank you very much for the feedback Ian. You make a very interesting point about the Yeast Based Co2 being unstable in larger aquariums, which is something I wasn't previously aware of. I currently have 2 x 3 litre plastic bottles feeding Co2 in to the 190 ltr tank. I may have to re-think my...

Cats... currently have three adopted from Lincoln Cat Care, and along with the swimmers they are my pride and joy. Also kept dogs over the years, but find Cats cleaner, cuddlier, and smaller, if not always as loyal :/

Hello Mike I keep Discus, Rams and tetras. Also keep 4 x Large Cory Sterbai in there as 'clean up crew'...Have tried rubbing my fingers gently over the surface of the leaves, but this doesn't remove all the residue. Best wishes Mark

Hello All. I am a keen fishkeeper, and doscovered this amazing hobby as a 9 year old when my parents bought and set up a community tropical aquarium back in the late 1970's. I have kept fish off and on ever since, and currently have three display aquariums in my front room. I also recently set...

Good Evening Ian Yes this is in my Trigon 190, which does have the home made Co2 feeding in to it. The Leaves have a thin 'film' of black coloured 'residue' on them... not sure what is causing this, as they are cleaned every week. It is not easily removed, and hence my post about advice on...

Hello All Have just been reading through the posts in this group but can't yet find what I am looking for. I am wondering what is the best way to clean plant leaves? What equipment and techniques do people tend to use? In particular the delicate leaves of plants such as Anubias? I clean my...

I have the following fish available for free to a good home:- 8 x Black Neons - good size feeding well - healthy 2 x Glowlight Tetras 1 x Threadfin Rainbowfish (male) All are good healthy fish, that I need to move on to create space for some new arrivals. Collection only from the Lincoln...

Hello Catfishblues Blue Rams are not the easiest species to breed, and require VERY good quality water to flourish. It can also be difficult to obtain good quality stock, as most of these fish for sale in UK dealers shops are very poor quality fish imported from farms in SE Asia. If you can...

Hello 'Saz' I agree with 'two tank', and from my own experience it is better to use Almond Leaves and Alder Cones. I place Almond Leaves directly in my aquarium, and after initially floating on the surface these fall to the bottom after a couple of days. The Alder cones I put in a mesh bag (you...

Hi Steve I haven't had your message unfortunately. The first meeting / informal get together was last Tuesday and went ok. We had 13 people attend, which was not bad for a first meeting. There were several people who keep Malawis in attendance. Must be something to do with the Lincolnshire...

Agree with one of the previous posters, that they will come up to the top when they are hungry, and are perhaps just settling in. I feed my Rams, tetra prima, and a wide variety of frozen foods. Brine Shrimp seem to be their favourite. They also love live foods if you have them available. Water...

I can confirm that Peter did buy A LOT :hyper: of fish at the excellent BCA Auction... he was sat near me, and had boxes all over the place. Was a great event, and I would recommend it to everyone! Next Convention should be in May 2012. Regards Mark

Thank you for that Ian. :) Anyone from the Lincolnshire or surrounding areas, please drop me a line if you are interested, in this new society. Everybody is welcome, and it would be great to hear from you. My hope is that we can progress as a society, and be there to help anyone with an...
