Thanks

I'm trying to find a very good PDF file about Rainbowfish posted somewhere on one of the 2 forums that I use (this is one and http://www.eacichlid.co.uk is the other) The file is actually a complete book with over 400 pages about Rainbows and I cant find it :evil: I had saved it on my sons PC becaus...

Thanks everyone thats given something to think about

The water report says that your tapwater varies from 7.1 to 7.7, with the mean average being 7.3. So, not as alkaline as you thought! :D Looks like I'm going to get digital PH meter then :thumbsup: EDIT ........ Is this PH pen any good or it just a waste of money ? ...... http://www.mminstruments.c...

i'm also on the look out for tips and trics about photography in general and macro photography in particular. Here are a few macro links that I saved in 'my favorites' (I have probably a hundred or so more :beardy: ) Macro photography for beginners http://homepages.tig.com.au/~parsog/photo/macro.ht...

Only problem is that you are NZ and I'm over here ..... unless you want stick them in a airmail jiffy bag and post them to me

Checked today on the Thames water authority website for the water quality . HARDNESS ......... mgl CaCO3 (ppm) ...314 Degrees Clarke ...... 22 Degrees German (dh).....17.6 Degrees French ...... 31.4 The full water quality report for my local area ....... http://www.thameswater.co.uk/water-quality-re...

How about Batasio spp.? Ancistrus cf_cirrhosus would also work too. Never heard of batasio sp before but looking at the cat-elog most of them would end up as lunch cos they are so small :? Ancistrus cf_cirrhosus ? I've got a few dozen of them hanging around although they need to grow up a few inche...

I have a sub tropical tank with 4 x 3-4in sub-adult Channa ornatipinnis which have an adult size of 8in. Temperature varies between 21C to 23C (70.F to 73F) with bunches of floating plant covering most of the surface and a thick covering of leaves on the bottom. I need a catfish that grows no bigger...

How important is the PH to an aquariums inhabitants ? It seems that in a very general way, most catfishes live in water that generally ranges from soft to slightly hard (excluding syno's). The reason that I'm trying to muddle through asking such a seemly random question is that my PH from the tap is...

And they are not mellow, when with fry

I wouldnt exactly call them mega aggressive either, not compared with something like convicts.

Pair with fry, female always darkens when she has free swmming fry

How about herotilapia multispinosa AKA rainbow cichlid ? They stay reasonably small at around 3-4 inches, breed as easy as convicts and have hundreds of babies (lots of live food for the pictus :thumbsup: ) and look OK. My pair lay eggs every 4-5 weeks have on average 3-400 young but as they are out...

How about a large plastic storage box from B&Q or suchlike ? I have a large storage box with lid which I bought from B&Q which is approx 48in X 24in X 24in and cost £15.00 I have used it for hatching frogspawn, temp housing of goldfish (2 months) and as an emergency quarantine tank. Just don...

I've got some Oak leaves in one of my tanks, I just grabbed a double handful from the storage box where thay have been drying out for the last few months and dumped them on the waters surface. The leaves stayed on the surface for a few days and then started to slowly sink over the next day or so, I ...

Ok, I'll take your word for that

Looks like Mile Noren's prediction came true, at least for this iguana. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/14/us/14florida.html?hp Note under a picture on this link states .... Orange trees in Clermont, Fla., after they were sprayed with water to help insulate them from the cold. Spaying trees with wat...

Now just 1 cocker spaniel :an: Recently sold ...... :( 80 snake's 127 gecko's 300+ Tarantula's 70+ Scorpion's 12 species of cockroach (I wasnt about to count them .. more than several thousand) and a few odd bugs like mantid's, tiger beetles, centipedes etc etc First time in over 25 years where I ha...

I have just been reading through the book reviews and something that I'm puzzled about. Breeding Corydoradine Catfishes by Ian Fuller. The review seems to be written for another book and NOT a book about Corydoras. The second part of the book (pp 50 – 95) is about breeding catfishes. There are descr...

Synodontis catfish are generally OK with other fish although if there are smaller fish (like fry) that can fit into its mouth ........ :an: I have a 8 inch Syno eruptus in with a wild trio of X. helleri and it doesnt bother them at all. A few of their fry may go missing but as they have hundreds any...

There is a very detailed account somewhere on one of the sicklid forums about hatching and raising petricolas but my laptop is down (I'm on the kids computer now) and I'm trying to find it from memory but not having much luck :( Here's something that my help you out http://www.kwas.ca/Articles/Petri...

By blue rams do you mean normal rams or electric blue like these ? >>>>>>>> http://www.aquaticquotient.com/gallery/files/5/4/2/640p1000551.jpg I saw some electric blue rams today at Wholesale tropicals (£14.00 each) , stunning looking fish. None of the photo's on google do them justice, i think they...

Wholesale Tropicals isn't exactly in City of London, but only a few miles out - Actually, Wholesale tropicals is about 3/4 mile from the City and about 15 min walk from Liverpool street station Yes, you could do both in the same day, but it won't be easy. If you are driving it is very easy to get f...

There is also the problem of its eventual size to consider. Everything I've ever read about electric cats states that they get to around 39 inches but cannot find any evidence to support this for fish in captivity. Question .... Has anyone seen a captive electric cat in the flesh or even in a photo...

Did as quick google and ... WOW

Definately NOT an amelanistic (albino) as it has black eyes, possibly a leucistic which have black eyes and no body colour (ie. white or off white/cream)

It might be worth searching on these ....

That looks like the problem :thumbsup: I have now coated the roof and entire back wall with liquid rubber ...... twice.
