opened a can of worms here soz guys

i know someone with a silver arrowana, he must be at least 36" and 8" wide he is the biggest silver i have seen, and in perfect condition he also keeps snakes and so has a supply of mice , once a week he puts a couple in the tank (live) and they dont last very long i think its wrong and...

give them a good squeeze as well head backwards to squeeze all the crap outa them. i put them in whole and live for my oscars after a wash/squeeze

they are for sale on ebay as we speak mate

add some duckweed/frogbit/riccia or other floating plant and they will go mad and absorb all the nutrients leaving the tank algae free course then you have to get rid of them eventually as they go mad

ive heard it loads as well aparently its not good to eat something that has been in such a small spoace of water for so long though not that i ever would poor things

Cut a long story short i adopted two red pacu (sold to my mate for his 1 foot tank as pirahna along with 4 clown loaches (told him to see me before buying but would he listen) anyway all these were purchased same day as tank :o cut a long story short 2 months down the line the "pirahna" are 3...

to get my knife to feed i have placed some clear drainpipe in the bottom of the tank with a small hole in the top and place the food (fresh and frozen bloodworm,krill,prawns,mussels) through the hole and he comes in to eat it at his leisure and the other fish do not pinch it (although i have...

what media do you have in them

correct me if im wrong but isnt there no such thing as overfiltration ? doesnt it even its self out over time no matter how much you have (ie bacteria thrive when loads of food but as tank cleans bacteria amounts fall accordingly )

what about a monster fish depending on the type these stay small and are way cool

ill get my coat cheers rvm much appreciated :D

mine have both input and output at the top eheim ecco and soon to be aqua pro just dont wanna put media in wrong way round and look like a fool :whistle:

ok feel free to laugh and poke fun at me but in external filters (namely eheim) with the two outlets at the top which way does the water filter top media basket down or bottom basket up, just so i know in which order to fit the media. cheers

i have been hearing that you can over filter planted tanks, what is the problems arising from this (i presume the plants do not get enough food), anyway i have a 110 uk gal tank with an internal juwel jumbo filter and a small eheim ecco external filter the tank is heavily planted and heavily...

yep had juwel for years its the fuses 99% of the time just replace them with a slightly stronger one (found this out after buying 2 new heaters for the same problem ouch expensive)

did you ever get one of these filters,what is it like, i am looking at them and penn plax filters on ebay both same price sound the same but cant find any info on either of them. chris

arrowana and bgk fine but dont mix knife fish or they will fight

My bgk is great he hides in the undergrowth all day but as soon as you lift the lid on the tank he is out and will wait at the top of the tank to be hand fed (mine likes prawns , mussels , beef heart, bloodworms brine shrimp (basically anything meaty and not in flake pellet form). great...
