wow! what a game!! woke up at 3:30am to watch it.

but i must admit, the Dutch should have won if Arjen Robben had better finishes.

and at times both teams we're playing heaps dirty! but i think Hetinga was robbed. personally i think he should not have gotten his yellow cards

I have been looking into foods for the L-104 and I was wondering do the vegetables have to be boiled/cooked? (squash, cucumber, zucchini anything else?) personally if you boil veges, it may soften them up, but will also remove nutrients and i wouldnt boil cucumber or zucchini because it will just g...

i only feed cucumbers and or hikari algae wafers. i dont wont to risk bloat so cucumbers are always the way to go. you could try zucchini but you need zucchini with a big middle or it will just leave a big mess in your tank because they wont eat it. except they will take bites at the skin. although ...

I personally would have thought germany and netherlands final would have been really entertaining because the german and the dutch attack is amazing!! would have been a high scoring game

i put my money on the dutch to win 2-1 and the germans to beat uruguay 3-1

i agree with this one. maybe you can give options on which type of articles you want to see?

I bred them in quite a large number some years ago, once they stared, they didn`t stop :D Mine would NOT breed in anything else than a bamboo cave, about 200mm long, stuck in an angle down in the sand. My male L104 has actually resided in a bamboo cave which is about 20cm and about 2-3cm in diamete...

same with the german defender boateng. his brother played for ghana this year in the world cup too!!

germany i think has won 3 or 4? and i think thats when it was really only west germany playing. uruguay won the first ever world cup and in total has won 2 and i thought spain might've won a few before but it turns out they didnt. and not really sure about netherlands my bet, Netherlands vs Germany ...

I probably will sound naive and silly, but I am thinking that penalty is justified when someone uses hands (on purpose or not) and interferes with a situation that could POTENTIALLY, perhaps LIKELY lead to a shot at a goal. When the ball is 100% is going into the net and someone uses hands to stop ...

great catch Farid!

i love the bristles on these fish!! its so cool!!

yeah the money is a bit of a problem!! grr :irritated: but so far people have been just saying eheim classic filters but they are heaps expensive than the others in the canberra lfs' there are other one such as the aquaone brands and the chinese brands which i hear is pretty good despite the huge wa...

hey guys
the lfs i work at is sellign an eheim ecco pro 300 for $300 dollars

which would you say? rena xp 4 for $300?
or the eheim ecco pro for 300? even though the pro has less flow rate

australia~great place to live-bad place for your hobby
i just have that feeling i could buy a filter in the UK and get it sent over here and it would still be cheaper!!

Thanks for the input guys! have been hearing 50/50 from both bad and good. i actually decided to look up on youtube on people using these filters and it seems that the do work quite well. i also do get a 5 year warranty with the rena xp 4 i just called up an lfs and they sold the eheim classic 2217 ...

from what i hear the only snail that can really affect your eggs are assasin snails and mystery snails

ramshorn should actually clean the fungus and such on them. but thats what i think and my pleco eggs havent been eaten by snails

i couldnt find anywhere on the webs to find any eheims. but the lfs here do sell them but they arent cheap. 300 bucks for one (cant remember type) which does a flow of 600 litres per hour. but i do like how the classics work but the rena xp filters do have a very unique way of working http://www.Pla...

Hey guys. I'm looking for a good canister filter to add on to one of my tanks which is mainly filled with plecos. and i was thinking the Rena XP 4 filter would do a great job. http://www.aquariumproducts.com.au/catalogue_products.php?prodID=4239&catID=6 Im buying it from the following site. Well...

great work alga!!!
i would guess that maybe blanched cucumber or some sort is a good way to go??

A good way to feed veggies to fish that like to stay in the plants is to use a wooden skewer dropped down vertically into the centre of the plant. A skewer across the top of the tank holds it in position. It's a veggie shish-kabob, you can even skewer a shrimp or scallop onto it. I use the same con...

may i also add that i feel quite sorry for the england team. being booed of by fans i think is degrading. they booed of their own country me n because they tied for the second time. all teams and players have those moments where they lose/tie a game they should have won and such. it's like booing at...

personally i dont use carbon at all because i have to replace it often and i find that wasting money and tedious. but for your problem i thought it could help do something but i dont know the full effects of carbon. was just my suggestion. maybe like what larry said it could be some form of bacteria...

just would like to add my input but first of all,, GO KOREA REPUBLIC!! but may i also add that i play rugby over in australia and it does require more skill than it looks. you have to have a defensive pattern, you have to learn to ruck the ball, you have to see how the other team is defending so you...

on that link there is a huge talk on cross breeding hypans. so all in all wouldnt keep them together

ooo maybe you should try using some carbon in the tank!! that could actually help your problem.. cant believe none of us actually thought of that before

just make sure to change it once every 4 weeks

hrmm i was thinking that there was maybe something in your tap water or something affecting the fish...but all your doing doesnt seem abnormal to kill the fish,,,

maybe this disease is quite common for the species??? who knows

this question may have been asked before but:
what type of water do you use for water changes and how do you condition it etc.?

i gave it to my otocinclus and bns and they loved it!! and my shrimp love it too
Thanks for the help guys

i will definitely use it on my otos and my bns

but not my panaques-they take their time finding food and it might go soggy before they get to it

thanks mats

just needed to know if it's safe or not and how it afefcts water and that
will attempt feeding them this at one point

thanks for the info guys so far

the seaweed we use
is roasted porphyra pesudolineris ueda which on google it says yakki sushi nori
would you think that could be okay??
was thinking on tryng it out on my bns and see what happens

i dont see what bad affect it can do to my fish
