  1. Have fallen in love with these wee fish but don't know much about them. In fact I confess, I've not even seen them in the flesh but would love to set up a wee tank for them as I hear they are on the fish list. Anyone keep these fish, any tips?

  2. Ok, what I mean is, the tank comes with this lighting: 2 x 30" 25 watt T8 bulbs, 1 x 23.5" 20 watt T8 bulb. I'm just starting out with a planted tank, are these lights adequate for plant growth and if not what should I replace them with? One of the bukbs has a distinctly purple light, does this have a purpose or is it just cosmetic, my fish seem to like it!! Hope this makes things clearer.

  3. at the local store but can't identify, the shop refered to them as copper rasbora but they don't look anything like them. They were only @ 2cm long, a deep midnight blue not quite black with bright orange on thier heads, glowlight sort of orange, deep body and more orange on the tail. Any ideas would be appreciated as they were a very attractive wee fish.

  4. as you do, that I might make some changes. The tank is 4 foot, 260lt.....................anyway the current occupants are 1 Gold Severum, very placid but doesn't like other Severum, 2 Angels, 4 Keyholes, 2 Tbars (both male), about 12 black widows and 6 odd Serpae and 2 Common Plecs. I was thinking of moving the smaller cichlids and the Serpaes out to a 3 fter and moving in a pair of blue Acara and a pair of Firemouths. From what I can research temperment seems to be about right, do you think I have enought space? Wouldn't mind adding some glam tetras too :D

  5. My 2 are exactly the same so I removed the smaller 1, he had a couple of little nips so sent him to my fish hospital. Anyway a few weeks later I tried to move him back into the main tank but the larger Severum really beat him up so he's living in another tank permanently now
