Port Hoplos are awesome the 4 ive got are pretty well grown at 12-15cm (Mysticvampyre and Ballistic raised em which was much appreciated :lol:), theyre quite like puppies just odd looking ones they eat alot and love bloodworms, they might not be the most attractive catfish but they make up for it with personality so well worth the buy imo. Theyre im my 200L at the moment which is planted and they enjoy that quite well ill move them into my 365L when i set it up so theyve got more space. Mine are all females (Males seem to be kinda rare) so breedings not a problem, in terms of space ive read that 2 to a 3 ft is recommended but it can vary with total size aswell. Like plecos theyre very hardy and can live in a variety of set ups e.g. 6-8.5pH low 20s to 30'C etc, imo neutral pH and 24-27 would be best. Yoyo/Pakistani loaches are one of my favourites, they like to dig around sometimes into the substrate looking for food and are mainly bottom feeders but learn to come up to the top for food aswell, theyre more active and playful in groups like alot of loaches. Their appearance can change a bit e.g. when theyre young their stripes are quite thin and as they get older its a more defined shape and they start to split again e.g. look kinda like zebra camoflage. All my loaches are in my 200L which is basically just catfish and loaches, the loaches like to hide aswell so they go into small nooks etc if they can find em and yea hidey holes are good. Hope that helps

~Clown loaches, motor boat along the surface for flake with just their noses sticking out of the water. ~Yoyo loaches, like to try and kiss other fish on the mouth or sit on their side like a ramora fish and spin round in circles with other yoyos trying to do it. ~Pictus catfish, like to hide and burst in the other direction if i suprise them, also they blink which looks funny. ~Convicts, flaring up and nipping on my hand - theyre bout to have kids ~Port Hoplos, such nutters - putting my hand inside and looking away and feeling them trying to eat it, if i just look along the surface of the tank and see these tentacle like whiskers coming out of the water and moving in different directions on my arm, and theyre always excited to see u and swim infront of your face ~Bristlenose catfish, took a large log out of a tank recently and had hidey holes thought i got all the fish out and whacked it against the ground a few times to check, after it was sitting in garage for an hour n half came back to see a BN lying in a tiny puddle, was still alive so threw it back in its tank and it was sweet the little trooper. ~Blue Rams, watching them colour up and down infront of other males and females is entertaining, and the little females swim in between the giant port hoplos at feeding time theyre like 1/10th the size.

egg noodles ravioli or tortelini

I was clearing up a tank that had been sitting in someones back yard for more than a year with all this grime and crap dried up on it, i tried a scrubbing brush and jif but couldnt get it off, then tried one of those green scour pads and it worked great even just in water, did in a few wipes what a scrubbing brush took a few minutes to do - ive done it inside a running tank worked fine aswell like this man i should do informercials :lol: hope this helped

Ive gotten most of mine from raumati or kapiti beach and streams around there, just let it soak for a month or so till pieces sank, ive gotten a few pieces from freshwater streams including a large sized one which is leaching tannins, i couldnt really soak it to get them out cuz of its size i dont mind tho. Saltwater beaches etc will have often rounded pieces of smaller wood, for larger more interesting shapes streams etc can work better imo if u can find em or pet shops but they cost. Generally somewhere which has tree's close to water is best. thats about what i know, landscaping stores do sell large pieces of wood for gardens etc u'll have to sink it tho but can give nice sized stuff

chilli tabasco or wasabi

Get a couple more, 5 or more is good imo, they like to play with eachother and other loaches and feel more comfortable this way. If you some small ones it should be alright whats stocking level atm

trademe headphones or earphones

gargoyles vampires or werewolves

damn them for not allowing tropical shrimps :evil:

lol dance party neon lights maybe the fish want a disco ball aswell :lol: I was just thinking of connectin cold cathode lights into a power supply, went into dick smith to check out what theyve got for power supply but couldnt see anything for DC 9V 1A, basically just wondering where u can get a power pack for 9 or 12V DC (Would check TM but at work )

hedgehog train or bus

crocodile (did you know their stomach acid can digest a steel nail ) sea or land snake

I find if u cut up some zucchini and place it along the front of the tank etc theyll be on that within an minute or two and theyll suck on it for quite a while, i stick mine into edges of wood or under rocks however my plecos love to be in the open especially the GBAs theyre fun
