Thanks for the support

Hey Guys I've got a Blueplanet tank Kingdom 100 and i plan to get some plecos for the tank. I'm considering of getting 3 L270's for the tank. But in another i tank i have about 13 plecos in a 3 ft (to the people who thinks this too much, i have maintained this amount of fish for nearly a year in the...

Thanks Mats
Do you know what the thread title was?
And i will look up those youtube videos

and i have joined every belomonte dam groups and causes on fb because im on fb all the time

Hey Guys As you all know about the belo monte dam, i am rather worried for all the fish that are affected. I would like to write a letter to the brazilian ambassador whose son is one of my closest friends :D But i'm rather ignorant on the situation and i would like to get a total low down on whats h...

you europeans are the luckiest people in the world aquatic wise...
grrr

great pics though!! love them

I find that the sera catfish chips are great with baby bns and that (around a week old or so) because it gets a bit soft quite quickly in the water.

And my catfish absolutely adore it. the corys like it too

it's all up to personal choice from here
most corydoras are very sturdy fish. how high is the temp? i dont think it would be much of a problem if the temp was anything higher than 27'C

most fish will do well at 25'C

In my 60 litre tank, i've kept up to 6 bronze cory's and they seemed to do fine. but it all depends on what fish and size. if you were to say to get pygmy cory's i would say around 8 is good. but the magic number i say is 6 a good starter cory is the bronze cory or the peppermint cory or even sterba...

same maybe you could keep it liek a normal pet cat. ;)


and we all understand that being an aquarist is hard when your a busy man.

but best of luck for you in the future

MatsP wrote:The problem that DJ is referring to is to restrict the intake of meat for the Panaque and get enouogh meat in for the Hypancistrus.

and too much meat for the panaquqe is not healthy

and thanks mats for clearing things up

oh jeez how i would love it if you were in australia but it must be a sad sale for you after what you've been through. but if you can't find a place to give away the panaque maybe you could keep that one fish?? it woldnt be that hard just to keep her atleast. but i guess its your choice. it's always...

personally i would think on temperament, it would be okay.

but because L104 are vegetarian and L333 liking a meatier diet, i wouldnt think it would be a good combo.

Jeez You poor guy
Hope everything turns out well Mats..its amazing what people do these days.

and i'm not sure how these process' work but did she have every right to rehome them??? because i thought there would have been different rules on pets and ones especially hard to get and rare

I think most smaller plecos (but not Oto's etc) live for about 10-20 years in captivity - in nature, they probably get predated on more often, so lifespan is shorter. -- Mats and wouldn't fish live in captivity longer because we give them a constant food source?? because in the wild fish would have...

oh god poor fish :/ my bn fry do this all the time but something like that has never happened

aww : i hope the little fella survives

speaking of death traps, i have had the same problem with thin val rooots!! i dont know how but one of my albino bn's got caught in it once and died

I realy don't know about how many dams there are in other countrys but there are a pile of them in the USA and until we do something about the problem in our own back yard I think we should mind our own DAM business! This is exactly the heart of the problem. In Europe, or north America, one river i...

I think its time other countries to put more global pressure on them

no one hardly in australia has even heard of this

indonesian bog wood is a favourite with mine
same with the malaysian bog wood is also a favourite with mine

thanks a heap mats.

then im guessing these fish are out of the question then

but i was thinking maybe then getting a pair of empire gudgeons?? their not that expensive and plus i saw a female empire gudgeon the other day

Thanks for your input mats
How many do you think i could get in the tank??

Thanks in advance
DJ

Hey guys. I have an aquastart 500 tank (50-60litres) and It has some Blue rams and redtail rasboras. I was thinking of selling the fish off and maybe try some of the Megalechis thoracata I was wondering if I can actually keep a few in the Tank in the first place and if so how many? If i can keep the...

heavy breathing in any pleco generally could mean low oxygen or its got gill flukes. I would try maybe adding a powerhead because i hear they live in high oxygenated waters

well maybe you could think from the males perspectives. if your in a tank and all you do is eat and have sex, you would think there is no point anymore.

so maybe you could take the males out and put them in another tank. wait a few weeks and put the males back in. it seemed to work with my bns

i find that clay caves do work to a point but they have to be tight.

basically you need caves that are long and tight i think

I written two articles on the subject of feeding plecos - it can be found by clicking the "articles" link on the side of my posts. There is one on what kinds of food - mainly discussing stuff you can buy in the supermarket and feed to your fishes, and one discussing which genus eats what ...

I would say this ref did a good match. Considering half the players we're playing dirty Van bommel i say definitely should have been red carded not hetinga. Hetinga did a good game as a defender. Puyol should have gotten carded. when Arjen Robben was on his second run, Puyol actually attempted to ta...

Somebody wearing orange way should have been sent off way before Hetinga was. First half was dull as dishwater mind you! Jools Are you reffering to de Jong?? People say he deserves a red but I wouldn't say so because he was going after the ball and it all happened as an accident, I didn't mind the ...
