:lol: good thing its gonna be a tropical tank then lol

I dunno but I'm so jealous you have galaxy rasboras

You mean like the 1000 GPD RO System, reservoir and the hard plumbing needed just for the water changes and that all up it's gonna cost more than some peoples homes? It's gonna be a long hard road but it'll be so worth it.

Just out of curiosity (and possibly stealing great ideas) what would others do with a tank this size if money wasn't an issue???

I love clown loaches that's why they'll get to go in the big tank

Um I'm not sure of details yet cos I've only just started planning. It's gonna be the largest of three tanks in the room. I was thinking angels and discus as the main fish with roseline sharks, some other middle dwelling fish that I haven't decided on yet, loaches, cories and SAE. One of the smaller tanks is going to be dedicated to tetras and the other to cichlids.

Thanks. Its gonna be a tank.

Title says it all... I'm too tired to figure it out myself :oops: Thank you

My mum is ready to set up her first planted tank. She was going to use JBL Florapol but the LFS say that it has been discontinued. So any suggestions on what she should use?

:lol: My brother has zero interest in fish keeping and even he laughed at that tank being called large. My first tank was 12lt :oops: :oops: :oops: and I successfully kept three goldfish in there until one was 15cm :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: then I bought a massive 50lt :oops: :lol: :oops: . I finally did some research (instead of trusting the lfs people. The fish got sold back to the store and I'm waiting to get my 300lt (landlord would flip if I got anythign bigger). Here's hoping the person on trademe will soon learn and quickly graduate to much larger tanks.

Yup those are the ones thanks

Brown ramshorns with distinct darker spots.

Anyone know much about them???

How many gallons are we talking here or what are the tank measurements. The local chinese store call their 20 gallon tank a decent size and they have 9 goldfish and a pleco in there

Thanks fishboi

Any ideas for some good plants? I'm planning to use a half-barrel because I have to be able to take it with me if/when I move.

Well done how are the little uns doing now? Just wondering how much these are being sold for in store? Last I heard was $20.80 each.

Yup that's the one

Very beautiful. I say they're worth the money but the DPB doesn't allow for luxeries like that.

I haven't seen one in the LFS and highly doubt I ever will lol. How much do Zebra Pleco L046 usually go for???

Yeah thats how much the ones I've seen have been. My little sis (who doesn't know much about fish or fish keeping) thinks and I quote "its a rip off! Who would want to spend that much on something that just scraps algae of the glass???" Then she headed off to admire the neon tetras :lol:

Anyone know the average price for a 4 inch royal pleco?

Sorry for the poor quality of the photo

Nah I don't think they're bloodworms as they're way too thin. Whatever they are I've decided they just part of the biodiversity of my tank and that the only reason they're noticable is I don't have any fish in there to eat them at the moment. Well I hope that's true anyway.

I think I had two kinds of worm in my tank. One was planaria which I've managed to get rid off :bounce: . I did a w/c on yesterday morning and by that evening my plants were pearling like crazy which made me feel good . This morning I turn on the lights and theres free-swimming, thin, red worms about 1.5cm long :evil: . I can't get a pic of them to put on here and I can't find them on the net so far. It was my snail tank but at the moment its plant only till the problem is sorted. Anyone have any ideas?
