  1. loaches are a right royal pain Also Corys in a deep tank can be a nightmare :roll:
  2. Harlequin Rasboras? Definitely my favourite small fish in a planted tank
  3. daltons aquatic mix it will be cheaper too
  4. angelfish will eat neons, when not if watch the bucket you are filling up by siphon :roll:
  5. 1 and a half foot is probably around 45 cm. Striatums are nice looking killies
  6. Ive heard conflicting things about the compatability of angels and discus. If it is only short term it may be alright
  7. Well done on that tank. Its looking great. I love the red tips on the Ambulia which i had enough light to do that Keep up the good work
  8. water boatmen? does that sound right?
  9. is there a certain type youre after? that would help
  10. lol David R A good suggestion though :lol: I did think it was overstocked
  11. Fishkeepa

    Chilly

    I did the same but only for three days the fish just appeared a little washed out. THey were fine after a some food.
  12. sorry double post GOod luck with the fish
  13. very nice fish. would look cool in a group all shufflin along the bottom. AS above they will tend to more active with some buddies
  14. Sorry to hear about your losses SW Hope the rest are happy and healthy Good luck
  15. thanks for that JN I think i'll visit Redwood and Organism I think were gonna be really pushed for time
  16. Im heading to CHCH next weekend and have about half a day spare that the folks promised we can go to some LFS' so which are the best to visit. I have heard Organism and Redwood are good are there any others Thanks
  17. polysperma is good for decent light perhaps even rotala idica or roundifolia if you have decent light Hairgrass is cosmoploitian according to aquahobby and i think that means worldwide
  18. no you dont need air pumps for airation if your flow in the tank is decent. A filters generally are set up to inlet from the bottom and outlet at the top and this is gennerally suffficient.
  19. would love an apartment Electric or gas stove top
  20. use a proper glass cleaner on the glass. otherwise it leaves you with those marks
  21. I think we commonly call it Black Beards algae. I had a problem with it a few moths back I found Flourish excell really helped with it. It does dent your pocket though. This then planting more plants once the algae wouldnt demolish them helped a lot, You may not have room for more plants. HTH
  22. skip rotorua and go straight to Wellington. We need it the most
  23. some plastics leach stuff that does this i believe. my heater holder gets covered something to that description . It may just be this if the stuff is new
