Hi sidguppy

Sorry but your link does not work,maybe its me

Thanks Jerry

Hi One way of making it a bit harder to get rid of fish like these ones would be to chip them like a cat or dog (only smaller)anybody know if this has been done by anybody yet I'm sure it won't be long if not done yet :?: Could it be done without damaging the fish?. It would make it easier to find t...

Hi Thanks for that Mat will get pics of others as and when get the chance.It just confused me that they are growing quite well in my tank maybe its because giving a lot more veg in their diet.

Thanks again Jerry

Hi

Jerry

Hi Looks like a nice tank in the making good luck with it just a quick question do you need to put anything between the tank base and the metal frame,I know you do this with wood bases but just shocked me to see none and only seen metal bases on much smaller tank say 3 foot and under. Thanks Jerry

Hi bristlenosekid Will prob go a bit higher yet Its not that much to someone that has other zebs and to add them to their colony to get the blood lines and pos breed as well with the ones they have.Where as its a much more of a gamble if you were buying just the " pair " even if " bre...

Hi shadowcat

Glad the tank renovation went ok for you and the fish give them time to get used to the new setup,don't know if worth trying is to pop some food at the back of the cave at night and see if eaten in the morning they probably go in at night when you an't there.

Hope this helps Jerry

Hi Alex_gr My leopard frog and gold nuggets did not eat cucumber or zucchini all it did was go moldy and had to be taken out I to was worried about not eating fresh veg so I picked a harder veg that can stay in the tank longer than say overnight.Parsnip was the one can be in tank 3 days and they lov...

Hi shadowcat

Just to quote the cat_elog.

Carnivore although not a predator, prawns and chopped mussel appear favourites.

Isn't shrimp a kind of prawn !

Sorry could not resist.

Jerry

Hi once again shadowcat

Thanks for your reply.

I'm only here to hopefully help and enjoy.

Best of luck Jerry

Hi shadowcat What you are saying about pre heating your water to the temp of your tank before water changing it is ok the same as my prefrance is I don't heat mine,what I am saying is that fish can withstand cold water changes(as in breeding season type)which can happen as and when you do weakly nor...

Hi akb42 You Said. but my Royal suddenly gets shy every time the camera appears... Just a thought if you are having trouble taking pics of your fish its usually down to the fact that they see the auto focus light beam and shoot off,(not saying it will solve it but well worth a go.)Eye up the distanc...

Hi nice one good post.
Mats.

And yes, fast drops in temperature is much less harmful than quick raise in temperature.

Thanks Jerry

Hi roo
No probs one of my 4 tank thermometers reads the wrong way round got me worried the out temp is tank and the in temp is the room.lol

Best of luck Jerry

Hi Dave Rinaldo
Very big THANKS for that.

Cheers Jerry

Hi Don't know if I can ask this (edit out if not right) but a friend of mine mentioned a site that supports only spiny catfish like l114 it has got pineapple in the name (don't think I'm mad)no seriously it has does anybody know of it.I have been searching all over but can't find it.I could have it ...

Hi roo When you first set up a tank it will take a long time for it to heat up to the required temp from cold also IMO when the tank set up and doing a water change with cold water say 25% the heater should raise the temp by aprox 1 degree per hour if you do heat it to quickly it may affect the fish...

Hi fireopal I have had a bit of a search and I think its used mostly in koi fish ponds in this country and also cosmetics. Don't know if this will help you but if you join the forum and ask on this site they may be able to help you more if nobody can help on this site. http://www.arofanatics.com/for...

Hi fireopal I have never heard of it and probably can't help you but I am very curious as to what you want to use it for in your fish tank after reading this I think its what you want to use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montmorillonite Also a bit more info would help others on this site to answer y...

Hi jac The behavior of your fish is normal its been only a month they are establishing the pecking order between the group and who is going to be where as alpha male and so on.Just keep an eye on them and make sure they are not getting to much damage from the fights they have and they will be ok. :t...

Hi pringle
They are a nice fish why take the risk just use slate and caves and bit of bogwood.Even plants if you like them will do fine.

Thanks Jerry

Hi I agree with MatsP. I have had fish with rips in there fins and have not medicated them and have healed up in say 3 to 5 days after but I do believe Melafix helps a lot when things are more deteriorated.Here is pics of my leopard cactus plec's tail after the tank had a bad ph crash :shock: Thanks...

Hi Lloydy Have you tried taking some media out of the filter that increases the flow also you can try to fit a spraybar that generates more flow(I tape up some of the holes to get more power) this can reduce the life of impeller, or another option is a power head that can add quite a bit more flow t...

Hi MatsP Glad you think the site is good I use it all the time to refer back to when things go a bit out of control, I call it back to basics which is the answer in most cases.I think a lot of us ( including me )fall into the trap of letting are thoughts run away at the time of problems with our tan...

Hi
