As we now know that he died from a heart attack.

He will be greatly missed but his music will always be around, thats what needs to be kept in mind.

I grew up to his music and listen to it today.

RIP

It was never with the tanks when we got them so I assume that they got lost.

Ok, time to find some plastic mesh for them. The joys of having baby fish, make you work

Thanks Mats

Hi, I came downstairs to check all fish were ok. To my surprise I found one of these guys in the tubing of the undergravel filter (can't get through the grill holes, thankfully). I'm guessing that he/she was looking for food, even though I'm putting sinking pellets and algae wafers in. So my questio...

Ok just thinking about to breed or not to breed. It's something to think about later down the line.

No I have clicked the wrong one. I'll sort that out.

Ok cool.

Oh darn thats always the way. Someone pipes up saying you can have some of mine . I'm in colchester, essex.

Like I say, not particually bothered if its a true albino or not. It was curiosity.

Can you bred normal and albino's?

Umm interesting, so I have to true and one not so true. Thats cool with me. I got 3 for £10.50 = £3.50 each, I'd say a fair price. Not had albino's before and it was my mind wondering as to why but thanks Mats. There in their own tank to grow a bit bigger and then they can be put in their desinagted...

Hi guys, I brought 3 albino ancistrus yesterday. They have settled right in doing their cleaning job. They are only 2cm long. I'm a little curious as I have 2 that have the albino red eyes and one has black eyes, I haven't seen this before (always thougt they have red eyes if albino) and was wonderi...

We watched the qualifying and watched the big boys.

It's good all round for the brits. Jenson Button in the lead on the drivers championship in the F1!

Hi,

What size is your Blue Phantom? What price would you be thinking of? Been thinking about getting one and I live about an hour from you.

I trust your words Matsp, its a trust worthy site to get info.

It slightly confussed me when this person mentioned it and came straight to this forum. Now with confidence I know what to look out for.

I was just windering if there was a real Zebra Pleco?? The reason for asking is, someone on another forum mentioned that a real Zebra Pleco would cost $200 or £129. The one I was looking at getting would be L046. I know after looing through the Cat e-log that is another one that has different vertic...

We were think of a juvie really but just have to see what ones they have when we get to go there. Don't really know how many we want to get, again depends on price.

They sure are expensive. One of the plecos we made a list for for the other tanks is there £60!! Blue phantom (common name), the one tat has blue tips on the fins. We'll probably take a trip there in a few weeks to see what they have. The first plec we hope to get is the zebra as one of my fish need...

ok cool.

We have a few weeks to wait. I have just found a place in enfield call Wildwoods? Is this the place or is it another shop? Found it by using troicalfishfinder.com.

I'll have a look at those places websites and check with our local LFS's and see what they say.

The shop in Enfield is the closest. If it comes to the point when we have to travel further, then thats what we wil have to do.

Lets see how it goes.

Traveling, we're willing to go about and hour and a half distance, Price, if it is reasonable then we'll go for it. Waiting isn't an issue (tanks need cycling) so we are willing to wait.

What websites would you recommend to having a look at, other than the shop thats been mentioned?

We now have all the tanks set up and running, so its now just sitting and waiting for them to cycle before we can get any fish.

How difficult would it be to get any of those fish that you have said would be ok??

Mats we weren't planning on getting all the fish listed, it was just a list of possbiilities. We don't intend to keep more than 2 or 3 fish per tank and we also apperciate at full size, the 37 litre tanks maybe too small. We were also planning on running each tank as a single species to try and avoi...

The other half put this up on another forum "The rack we have has room for 3 x 48" x 12" x 12" tanks. The top one is split in 3 and the others in to 2. Unfortunately one of the ones split in 2 has a bad crack in it but we were also given 3 x 2 foot tanks so I'm keeping the deepes...

Sorry for the long delay, get quite busy with decorating.

Not sure on what fish to keep (any ideas?) but all tank will have a pleco on some sort. What plecos can we keep in the top 3 and then the rest? We may put a plant in each of the tanks and we'll be using gravel.

It's been mentioned on another forum that a Lustar sponge would be better, do you thinkthats the case or do we stick with the UGF's?

Thanks for all the help guys. We've got a powerhead, small internal filter, 6 air stones and all the piping for the undergravel filters. I assume having looked at it all properly, in the past the tanks have been used with 6 of them have undergravel filters with airstones and one with the internal fi...

Ok, would they connect to the under gravel filters that we have by using those tubing that you see in the last pic. The lady did say that it works together.

This is the stand that thetanks came with


Would it work downwards

Hi all Today my partner and I received 10 tanks and several pumps, filters and undergravel filters, light units for free. I would like to know how to use the following, pics http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj149/orange200sx/P5130458.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj149/orange200sx/P513045...

Learn something every day

I can't remameber the exact price but it was less then £5 and I think the bristle was about the same.
sounds like I had a good bargin

Thats all cleaed up then. When I buy anymore fish from lfs, I'll post them up to double check the names.

The baby pleco wasn't with the oscars at the time we found her, it was the second lot of eggs that got it. Shame really as they were the only pair I had .

After going through the fishy pics I came across these.

This is mum


This is dad, for sure a bristlenose

Here's the pic of mum and dad. Sorry for the quality of the pic.



You can just see the yellow eggs underneath mum.
