I used to have a friend who would keep a barrel outside just for getting mosquito larve and he never had any problems that i no of :unsure:

yes but in nature they have what they were designed for like the sun way better than our bulbs, we will never be as gd as nature

well at the moment i live in a tiny 1 bed flat so i was thinking a 40 litre or so in my bedroom on my wooden draws? would i be able to have any other fish other tham just the 3 platies?

Bit of an update ive hadthe filter installed for a week with the other running and the tank seems to stay cleaner and the fish seem much more happy although i think i will have to get a spraybar in the long run. I might keep both filters running it couldnt hurt could it? :shifty:

yep its the new one with the plus on it :)

Hey people and fish I thought id give my fish a treat and give them some cucumber but they wont eat any of it. Should i leave it in there over night to see? or just bin it? Ive got some cories in there two and they havent touched it either :(

okay so i have 3 dwarf platies thanks to a female giving birth there now nearly 6 months old so there pretty much grown up.My 60 litre tank is already over stocked so i thought id get a small tank for just the three of them as ive become really fond of the trio so whats the min tank size i could...

I know hes not a fish but.... Heres sheldon!!!! :hyper:

Dont worry im not saying this filter will solve all my problems but im hoping that it improves my tank. Using the old filter i would do a water change getting rid of all the rubish in the tank then turn the filter back on after refilling and it would just dump bits of crap that got loose in the...

well ive gone with fluval 206 as i will upgrade to a larger tank soon and then I wont have to cycle the tank that way quick question should i keep my old filter working whilst the new one gets the correct bacteria etc if so how long does it take to be till im able to get rid of the old filter?

ive been lucky or unlucky depending how you look at it ive always found 7 or so fry at a time but then i have to give them away once tehre grown up as theres never enough space :(

hey cezzaXv i was wondering if you think i should get the fluva 205 or 105 do find that with the 205 is to powerful for the tank you have?

congrats love it when i find fry in my tank

well I really dont want to have to go for an internal filter its bad enough that i have a small space already without reducing it further. Fluval 205 sounds good, forgive me Im new to best filters but i have money to spend so would it be better for me to get a filter which can handle loads of...

I never knew mollies rubbed against leaves when stressed well you learn a new thing everyday. He could be irritated but i check my water on a daily basis for the last 2 weeks and its all fine its been cycled for about 8 months now. Although im over stocked thanks to aload of fry but once ive...
