Are you meaning the Standard or the L series lens? I have a 100mm and it is my fav lens. Its almost always on the camera. I got mine second hand for $600 from trade me and it is almost brand new. The guy was selling up as he was going overseas and didnt want it.

Whats the hose in the vid? Could the slug have been in the hose and ended up in tank when you used the hose?

you need a slug gun

So does Crypt Balansae etc, but Antwan suggested he wanted to use that so I dont think there was any South American only theme happening. Just an idea I have Congos with my Geos, The look good together.

Hi All With summer fast approaching I am sure many will have had a spring clean and ended up with bits and pieces that are no longer needed. Well now is your chance to sell or swap it for something you will need or use. For the October meeting we are going to have a Swap Meet/Sale. Bring along that old filter you don't use, that ornament that no longer suits the tank and any other thing fishy related that you think may be of interest to others. I suggest if you have live stock for sale that you reply to this and let people know you have them so you don't end up bringing them and finding no one wants them. If there is something you are looking for then speak up, Someone may have it lying around not being used.

Congo Tetra look awesome in a big tank like that. Also the compliment the geos as the tend to hang out near the top of the tank. And they are colourful

Whoa, That was less than ten minutes from the first post. Remember not everyone sits here on the forums all day waiting to answer your questions. http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/whitebait-a ... ebaiting/1 Google is very obliging most of the time

Like my submersed crypt tank. Cant see the substrate for the crypts

Thought so

Is that big planted tank Dan's?

Have you ever seen a school of Lemons in all their glory? Not what they look like in the shops but what they actually look like when they are healthy and in the right conditions. They look stunning. But you pay your monies and take your pick. Maybe kittie tetras, LOL :lol:

They disappeared once fish fish were added to the tank. The tank was also full of Water Boatman I had collected so they may have been eaten by them. I didnt really take too much notice at the time.

Yes Lemons, They are my fav tetra Pic from the link I posted on previous page http://www.simulationeight.net/fish2/de ... lemons.jpg (too big to post here) just click the link

It will stop after a few months,just water change heaps and use carbon initially. I personally like the tannin look but its personal preference. If you were gonna add Oak leaves then they will add tanins too.

I would call his bluff and tell him you cant be bothered and are considering not going through with the deal. I bet they will be quick to see things right. If they play the "you signed the deal its too late to back out" thing then remind him the same goes. He signed and now he changing his deal (unless there was a clause in the contract, but you being in Insurance industry, Im sure you read all the fine print ) With the economy as it is, its not worth it to him to loose the sale over a minor cost which he will probably just add to the cost of the next deal he does.

OK, I know now what you are talking bout Bilbo. I had some when I collected a heap of Aquatic plants from a pond. They are bigger than Daphnia and are a brick red colour. I looked them up when I had them(it was months ago) and I concluded they were a type of Ostracod. They look like orange beads with little legs that they swim with on one side. Does this sound like what you saw Win?

Yeah I did, sorry, I got busy and never replied. Mysis shrimp look more like mossie larvae to look at but smaller. I think I have seen these before but am not sure what they are

Yes the frog vid is disturbing

CF1200 are what I have. I swear by them. Good value for money in my opinion (waits for the Ehiem freaks to rear their heads,LOL) They are quiet and grunty , only thing is it pays to add some more media to them as they can easily fit more than what they come with. I reakon two of them would be sweet for the Geos.

LOL, Thats the link I was gonna post, but I couldnt find it. http://www.qldaf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=20740

Looks good After seeing the wood in the tank I would not worry too much about it. There is plenty of room for them to not hit the wood. Dont waste your money on a couch. Just move your bed there and lay in bed watching the fish all night. For ideas go to Monsterfishkeepers and search for user "japes" Some awesome Geo setups and photos galore. Or see some here http://www.cichlid-forum.com/phpBB/view ... 60038a02fc

Nice! I agree with Hovmoller regarding the fish damaging themselves on the wood. Mine do get skittish at times and when they are spooked they just swim full steam ahead. Donk straight into whatever is in the way. I cringe at times as I wonder if they will knock themselves out at times. In my experience, I have never lost a fish to the Geo's. They are really peaceful to other small fish. I would be worried about the Firemouths picking on the Geo's rather than the other way round. Look forward to seeing progress photos

No, This one is Elatine gratioloides. Tis a Native from Australia that grows well here. Commonly found on stream edges and in roadside ditches where it is wet all the time. Callitriche is darker green and more fleshy. See this link for comparisons viewtopic.php?f=2&t=48714

Most Forum members would have had them at some stage or still do. They are commonly known as Brine Shrimp and make excellent food for young fish.
