Have you had a look here? http://www.jjphoto.dk/fish_archive/karp11.htm The closest to me is the Five band Barb - but yours has six, and spots as well!

Perhaps you could drill some holes in the top, I notice that the exhaust slots take up an area approximately half of the face of the lid thingy. You also said that your hose is quite a tight fit, but has a little space for the air to escape, I notice in the instructions that this needs to be a tight fit, and if it is not, to put a rubber band around the air hose to make it so. HTH

Count me in, please. Thanks

The ones with the little horn things on their shells are interesting..

This means they look good for a short while, like a couple of months, then they deteriotate. Some need their tops out of the water to survive. There's this really nice plant with a rich metallic purple underside to the leaf - looks great in the shop, but does'nt last long under water in your tank. If your Flax type plant is varigated yellow/green, I think this is a cold water plant.

Chin up, Gizmo. Don't let this put you off tropicals, there's heaps of help and support to be found here..
-
Wow, no wonder you were so enthused about getting new plants, did they all go in this tank? The growth in a couple of weeks is pretty amazing.

Caper, an example of OSH requirements - on the door of the creche that my four-year-old attends: Notice of possible HAZARDS: small children, small items on floor eg toys, water, sand, low objects hanging from ceiling... blah blah, the list goes on and my memory isn't that great, but you get the general idea.
-
Hmm OSH, the less said about them, the better. Life jackets sound OK, but the wee hedgehogs could have some fun with the waterwings - a quick hydroplane across the surface? For about thirty seconds!
-
Water wings + Hedgehog prickles = ?

I've used Fosroc Silaflex RTV (clear only safe for aquariums) to make a hinged lid for my 2ft tank. The hinging bit is only 50mm wide, big enough to feed the hungry critters in my tank, and means you don't have to lift the whole lid and light off to feed them Seems to be hanging on there ok, the kids give it a hard time, bending it back past the vertical to feed the fish (while I cringe and wait for the silicone to give). I have a 5mm bead of silicone to make the hinge.

Anti-bacterial remedies for cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)
Zev replied to Pinsara's topic in Aquatic Plants
The bacteria in the filter (good stuff). Just curious as to how long you can leave it turned off without killing them. -

How long do the bacteria last when the filter is turned off? -
Our female cat got named 'Gary' by our four-year-old because of this program! I'ts really hard to explain to people who haven't watched it.

2 different topics :) siphoning and plants..hehehe
Zev replied to evilknieval69's topic in Freshwater
This is the thread about the snail stuff http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/next-v ... c&start=15 Last couple of posts talk about getting rid of snails. My search seems to work ok.. -
Good on ya for doing your research and asking questions first, although it can be dissappointing to find that the fish you like the best aren't compatible, or as I keep telling my ten-year-old daughter, you cannot have a pleco in a two foot tank!
-
Ha, Keri Anne, you forgot the "more.." at the end of your line!
-
Congrats.. sounds like you are going to be busy (and doing some damage to the bank account, no doubt.)
-
Looking good, the stand looks great, and the.. cardboard? hood. I'm sure the fish are going to love it.
-
This could solve a couple of your problems? Be a bit of a hassle getting the car out, though.
-
Caryl, I notice that in my filter the noodles sit up a bit in the top, is this ok, or should they be totally submerged?
-
Do they look like this? http://oregonstate.edu/dept/nursery-wee ... lings.html These are what Lyndyloo is talking about, Osmocote Prills/balls, which is a slow release fertiliser, I found some in some plants I got for my tank the other day as well.
