i leave mine to do what ever in my tanks (i have heaps of plants in there tho) and they grow up, a few must get eaten but a lot survive

Go external, canister filters are great. I have 10 striped (2parents)(sold more than 40 young) and 4 white convicts in with my year old turtles in a 4 ft tank holding about 200ltrs with a jebo 819 and its doing a brilliant job, I have used smaller filters but i am now really glad i just spent the extra money and got a decent filter. My con's have been in with my turtles for quite awhile so they think they are the boss, they even take food out of the turtles mouths so i wouldn't be surprised if one day the turtles click they are live food. but hopefully i can intervien (sp?) before that happens!!

Yea but that wasn't his home....close but i still think warren wins :lol:

I think your the BIGGEST WINNER so far :lol: :lol: I haven't had any majors yet and hope i don't any time soon

how many tanks do you have in this room?

cool i will have to have a look around and see what price they are

oh good to know, what would you recommend for a 40ltr tank then?? I have had bristlenoses, i have gba's but want something a little different......I was thinking borneo suckers Is there much algae in your tank?? what size tank are they in??

I might get an oto to try, am i right in thinking they like to be in groups rather than single??

I have wondered this for awhile.....I would love for everyone to put there experiences up for what fish eat what types of algae?? Heres a few i would like to start with but i would like to know about others i forget to list.... Bristlenose GBA Pleco's (in general) Oto's Golden Algae eaters Chinese Algae Eater Siamese Algae Eaters Borneo Suckers/hillstream loach Do loaches and cory's eat algae?? thanks guys

YOUR THE BESTEST!!!! that will keep me busy for the rest of the night and many nights to come :bounce:

great that ones a goody. anyone got any with pic's i'm looking to read up on fish i don't know about (not any in perticular) just want to read so one day when someone asks me about them i have a bit of info :lol:

How long was he out of the water for???

Hey just wondering if anyone has any good links to sites that have good photos and info on tetra's..... Actually any good sites on other fish i would be interested in looking at too....if we get some good links it might end up being helpful to others too

Holey crap how did she manage that??

Yup when they get a bit glugged up they will slow down, just like most filters if not all

lol that made me laugh so much :lol: Thats good i'm glad that its normal

Has anyone else noticed when their clown loaches are eating they make a clicking noise?? I have noticed it mainly when they are eating zucchini :roll: just wondering if anyone else notices this??

Thats pretty funny, have you still not moved out?

if its living i don't think youll have a problem

could you post a pic of how you have the bamboo in your tanks fishboi??

I used just a bag of builders sand i think it was from bunnings, you just need to give it a real good wash!!! Clown loaches are slow growing from what i have read and IME i have had my 6 for nearly a year and they have grown a bit but they are far off out growing the tank, then you could always sell or swap them for smaller ones as for the bamboo i don't think coating it with anything would be a very good idea, it would probably take awhile to get to the rotting stage and then you could just replace it maybe??? As for the gourami, you could alway get a selection?? Dwarfs are quite nice and come in pretty colours I personally like my golds and peb's my kissing (i can't see how people think there ugly )

I wish we had a problem with it being hot down here :-?

if all else fails you could always buy some and put them in a pond nearby and then you can stumble across them

very nice whats going it to this tank?? let me guess......discus?? :lol:
