:( Damn, just bought a set for my 200 litre corner tank a month before Xmas. Watching this thread with interest. Went from 0.7 WPG to 2WG, which makes a fantastic difference. :/

Too many late nights with Dave, me thinks :oh: :hey: :hey: :hey: :hey: Hope your other eyeball is the same size !?! Else you'll look a real odd (eye)ball :fun: :hyper: :lol: :wub: David

Thats really cool!! :wub: David

24"x15"x12" was the one I was thinking of, but just remembered I've got a smaller one still, not quite sure of the size, but definitely smaller :S :hey: David

Lynz, I have a spare tank if you need to borrow one. David :D

Hi Lynz Brilliant pics and well done on keeping them alive! :oh: & belated :bday: :cake: :flowers: David

:) Two quarter tank water changes over the last three days appear to have cured whatever was bugging the male krib. Very strange behaviour displayed by the krib before the second water change though. Normally he gives my two clown plecs are hard time, however this time he approached one plec...

Advice please, Male krib, who until very recently has been very health having fathered his 5th brood. Two days ago he started sitting in the corner of the tank by himself, ignoring the female too (really not like him :hey: ) with his fins and tail clamped. He is a little bit paler in colour...

:kewlpics: Brave lady out in that weather :oh: Brave lady being driven in that weather :crazy: Ya wee thrill seeker ye! :D D

:kewlpics: Lynz Love the snail pic, How's the danio fry doing? :cool: :P David

[FONT=Optima][SIZE=7][COLOR=purple] :cool: Hi Lynz, Yes I go to UA quite often. Also the garden centre just along the road, the one with the gigantic tank full of catfish! Great idea of a meet, anyone else ? W

/ wheres the DOH smillie / Breeding, how stupid of me! A second clown started behaving in the same way and last night all hell broke loose. It was like the 'rumble in the jungle', clown loach stylee. Gravel flying, fishing darting everywhere trying to avoid the melee, chaos. I had to put my...

Finally got 3 clown loaches to settle in my tank without dying after only a few weeks :D However, over the past few days one of the clowns has been acting, emm, "oddly". As in its colour changes from normal black and pale yellow stripe to deep black and bright orange stripe. Its fins become...

:D WOOHOO, I have baby shrimps in my tank :D The eggs must have hatched about 10 days ago, but I just assumed my corys and clowns would have eaten everything. I have to say the adult females are very alert to danger and are lightening quick when necessary. The babies are so cute, about 2mm...

:D Woohoo :lol: , after several days and nights searching, thinking the worst had happened already, I spotted one of the shrimps this morning tucked up in a little crannie! Could not see enough to tell if the eggs are still there, but at least ine is still alive. Looked like a little red...

:D I have just bought two cherry shrimps. The girl in the LPS gave me two females heavy with eggs. I have never had shrimps before. They are in a community tank with a lot of hiding places. Thats my problem, I cannot find them now! :rolleyes: I'm I correct in saying I cannot treat my tank with...

My lps saids its now illegal to sell live food like blood worms. I have had to resort to frozen. Where in the UK can I still buy live blood worms if the illegal bit is nonsense? Thanks in advance :)

:kewlpics: Those zebras look like mine after they gorged themselves on blood worms, good and fat. Superb, well done on getting more eggs. Where are you keeping them ? All the fish look really healthy. What are you going to feed the young ? Will try and post some pics tonight of my tank...

I could not resist - bought two more 3" clowns on Saturday. Fed the whole tank with blood worms. Every fish gorged themselves, especially the danios. Looked like striped balloons once they had finished. Lost another Cardinal tetra though. Still cannot work out what is wrong. Alison at UA says I...

:lol: :lol: :lol: after five minutes! :rofl: :lol: Sorry, but that was funnier than the joke! :thumbs: Yes buy some corys, albinos, easy to keep (even for me atm!), and work hard. A pair would be better. They love frozen blood worms, same as danios. Dont name your fish individually...

:rofl: .............................. fsh.................................. :rofl: Made me laugh! On a sour note though, lost another clown loach last night. It was the healthier looking of the two original fish bought. Suspect upsetting the tank stressed it too much, not sure. Two cardinals...

:lol: Yes, a big wedge of cheese! Probably need to draw a picture cos I'm crap at describing things. Sizes= 700mm radius, 600mm deep on a large stand. Quadrant shaped, thats the word I was looking for. Me fishes are 3 clown loaches, 2 gold gourami's, 2 pairs of dwarf gourami's, 4 albino...

:) Hi Lynz, No not yet. Will let the tank settle for a little while. Quite an upset for the whole tank having to remove and then refit a chunk of bogwood. A few plants up rooted too, and the Java moss attached to the bogwood got a bit squished! Do you ever watch 'Tom & Jerry' cartoon ? Jerry...

[FONT=Optima][SIZE=1][COLOR=purple] :( New tank setup about six months ago with various rocks, live plants and three pieces of bogwood. Two pieces are relatively flat, however the last piece is kind of an odd barrel shape with lots of character. It also has a couple of holes in it, one of...
