Thanks for the reply's ............... I will try the coated thin wire

Cheers

What is the best way to attach these plants to bogwood and stones ?

Some web sites say fishing line or even hair nets and then other sites say do not use elastic bands.

Cheers

Thanks Silurus ........ the latter book it is.

I am in the process of getting my first plec book (after looking at info on the pc for ages) and I am just wondering which people feel is the better book out of the the two below :

Aqualog - All L Numbers - £45

DATZ L Numbers - £19.50

Cheers

Nitro .........

Where abouts in the UK are you from and how much are you paying for the L168's ?
I currently have 2 (too young to sex) and am always on the lookout for more. I have mainly been feeding with cucumber, potatoe and hikari wafers and they eat the lot.

Cheers

Wellcome to pc .......

Thanks very much Yann ............. having looked at the information on the page I am not so sure now if the specimen I have IS a male - I am going to have to get some photo's took and put them here.

Thanks once again

As there is not much information on the white seam plec (anywhere on the web) .... does anyone know if only the males have tenticles on their head ? The one I have has head tenticles (so I have presumed it is a male) but not as many as you normally see on other bristlenoses.

Cheers

As my male plec has got bigger the 'white seam' has disappeared apart from the tips of the tail ........... is this normal ? Also if anyone in the North East of the UK knows where I can aquire a female please let me know.

Thanks very much

I currently have both my power heads in both the tubes of the UGF - this means I cannot get any bubbles coming from them. I just want to know if its feasible to just use 1 power head on one side of the UGF with an airstone on the other side. Then I could use the spare powerhead next to my internal f...

Looks like a very nice tank ..............

Thanks for the reply I am going to get them ...... my LFS said I can have them for £10 each which seems ok to me.

p.s. INXS - KICK is still one the best albums ever !

Has anybody else heard of these plec's ? My LFS has got some in but I cannot find any information them - the closest thing I have found that looks like one is the L183 Starlight Bristlenoe Plec.

I use a Algarde deluxe gravel cleaner which is a VERY good cleaner and it costs around £7.99.

That is a monster of a tank ............................. I want one

Sorry it has took so long to reply - I turned 30 over the Easter weekend and we had a big party. MONKEYHANGERS ............. Way back in the Napoleonic wars a ship crashed into rocks off the shores of Hartlepool. All manor of things were washed ashore including what the locals at the time thought wa...

I am just looking for an overall opinion on this matter - how do you have your powerheads set ?

blowing bubbles or not blowing bubbles ?

Racoll ..................

Yes it was the first time I have fed them worms - and the last. I am going to put an airstone to give the tank a bit more oxygen. They are all still going strong ............

Does anyone else out there want to know why they call us Monkeyhangers ?

I have two heaters in my tank at a constant temperature of 28'C. When I use the gravel cleaner (everytime I water change) I always ensure it goes down into the gravel as far as it can go - the only place in the tank I don't do this is in the planted area. I only fed 2 worms which were about 2" ...

Last year (Feburary) I used some slug pellets on the plants in the garden ......... I think it must have been them. As for the Nitrates .... when I used my test kit the water did'nt change colour at all and when I looked at the comparison chart it said the reading was 0. Thanks for the replies guys ...

SORRY about not getting back straight away .......... I have been having problems with my home computer and I had to get it sorted. Thanks very much for your replies and sympathies, I was (am still) gutted when it happened :cry: here is (hopefully) everything you asked : 4'x2'x1' tank with lots of m...

NIGHTMARE :shock: I posted a message the other day stating my queen arabesque had died for no reason..... well it just got worse......... :cry: My male has now died along with a big male malatonia lacustrus, siamese loach and 7 cardinals. As before I have tested the water and everything is normal bu...

Hello & wellcome to P.C..................

Has anyone gone to bed after feeding your fish and then woke up in the morning to find one of your favourite fish dead - for no reason ? :cry: My lovely Queen Arabesque female was lying dead next to her cave, with no other fishes showing any signs of illness or troubles. All water tests have proven ...

Thanks very much Coryman ......... that sounds nice and easy

Thanks very much Sidguppy ......... I will try some tonight.

I have read info about catfish loving to eat chopped-up earth-worms and I am going to try it with my Hoplo's. My question is ...... do you have to clean the worms ? and if yes - how ?

Cheers

p.s. sorry if I have placed this in the wrong forum
