I have often considered Killies, don't know much about them though. Here are a few questions for you lot.... :-? How many could I keep in a 150ltr tank ? Do they mix well with others ? Where can I get them, never see any in shops ! Thanks in advance.

Hi, my preference would be for some cichlids too ( I used to keep oscars), but this tank is only a small corner unit of around 150 ltrs, and I need a nice show of bright community fish to impress 'her indoors'. I am using this first tank to pursuade the wife that than a much larger one would be a good idea. Little by litte.......

Hi, thanks everyone for all the advice, and Ira for the offer of some filter medium. In the pub last night, I was taking to a neighbour who also keeps tropicals, he is coming around tomorrow with some ceramic 'noodles' from his filter. That should get me going. All I need to do now, is decide what kind of kish to keep :-? Decisions, decisions, life is so hard :lol: Happy New Year :lol:

Hi all, just set up my new tank. Used to keep fish years ago but this is my first time after a long lay off. I have read lots lately about 'tank cycling' and I want to get this right, and avoid the dreaded new tank syndrome. Have seen some mention of using small amount of raw meat in tank to build up the bacteria in the filter, anyone tried this ? If so how much for how long etc. :-? I don't like the idea of suspending 2 pounds of pork sausages in the tank for the next month Cheers and Happy New Year !

HI, just saying hello. I'm from England, currently living in Lower Hutt. Just moved house and found the perfect spot for a tank. First time in 8 years the wife has caved in and let me set one up. Just bought a nice corner unit, not as big as I wanted, but its a start. Soon as the decorating is finished I can get it going. Still toying around with what type of fish to go with. Change my mind every day :-? . Oh well it keeps me occupied. Speak to you all soon. Klatoo
