  1. Recntly I converted my tank to a planted scape which is working perfect.

    I emptied the whole thing, and put in about an inch of substrate, bought 5 bulbs, and have just got co2 feed in the last week.

    Couple of things bother me.

    1. I have an amazon sword that is about 1 foot high, but is still in its "basket" that was in when purchased. Is there a nice way of securing plants to the ground?

    2. My tank is nearly 2 foot deep, any clever tips on how to work with plants when I can't reach the bottom of the tank?

  2. ok.. that great news then..

    would one be ok with Giant Gourami??

    arowanas and gouramis make excellent tank mates.

    I had exactly this combo for 3 years. (not all the same fish tho')

    I must say, try and feed them seperately. I had my aro and gourami fighting for food, and I ended up with an agressive gourami

  3. I'm looking to trade down to perhaps a 5 footer factory made thingee

    I want to keep my distochodus, and find new home/s for my Gourami, 2 severums, 1 oscar, and 1 pleco.

    and put the distochodus in with a black arowana in a five footer

  4. 75% water change, cleaned the filter media, dosed with salt.

    ph is now 7.5-7.7 ... I'll keep tewsting it for the next two days, and if it stays good I'll wait until next weekend until the next water change.

  5. well I think I may have discovered the problem :(

    My PH level is screwy.

    its yello :o (acidic ?? )

    I've done 2 50% water changes in 3 days and the PH doesn't seem to be changing :-? .. time to go to the shop and buy artificial PH-a-fier's :(

    any suggestions?

    I've got 1000 litres BTW

  6. Firstly.

    I went away for couple of months, and neglected my fish :-?

    Last weekend my arowana stop eating, and on closer inspection I noticed what looks like white fluff covering his/her body and even his/her eyes

    kind of a cross between a spider web type thing and cotton wool :o

    I did a large water change on the weekend, about 75% which has stopped the problem from getting any worse. I also dosed the tanl with melafix.

    Every other fish seems to be 100% happy, buty my arowana still has a little white fluff/cob web, and hasn't eaten for 5 days :o

    I'm also aware that arowana's are wierdo's, and sometimes just stop eating for the hell of it, but I am concerned.

    any help?

    TA.
