Is a protein skimmer required on a soft coral only tank - no fish? And is 35cm wide enough?

hoplos are kickass. Featherfin syno should be ok, Pictus catfish?

prfft, stuff the wallet, thats what easy finance is for! And welcome

S. Bichirs? Senegalus?

Yup Thens the ones that I got two of HFF has them for $52? (Approx.) And the ones for 120 from HFF were about 17-20cm long

I'd agree with the rainbow fish, clowns can get a little bit hidey at times

Basically, to be used as feeder fish for my other fishies. Sooo. What i'm thinking about is using a 2foot tank, with a mesh screen at the bottom, holding up two sheets of glass or perspex, and then divided so that I can get a net into the bottom of the tank to scoop out the babies. Any ideas about how well this will / won't work?

They seemed to enjoy the bloodworm

Very cool little dudes, they have taken to hiding in the floating plants that the pantadon (also) hides in. Will be interesting

My new pets 2x Senegal Bichirs

And picture 3 is a silhouette of my oscar @ feeding time

dammed small tank for a JD. Could possibly be a Jewel Cichlid. And in picture 3 looks nearly like an oscar....

Your discus would enjoy the free food provided ^.^

Gladwrap! Once you have setup your tank, and its running, use gladwrap to go under the lids, as close to the glass as possible. Leave out one pane of glass to allow feeding etc.

Some plants are ok if they are grown submerged as opposed to hydroponically. IE, "beetroot" (no idea on what its really called...) is not an aquatic plant, but it seems to be growing fairly well. A LOT of roots, and new growth.

hoplo cats are win

Ornate should work, Senegal probably won't

Tiger barbs are fine if you get 5+ and don't have any long finned fishies.

Imagine the bottom falling out Wake up to find an aro attached to a rather painfull body part

Thats a bad thing? Oh Would be so cool to look down and see an aro staring up at you

And now! Piccies! FTS Corner Shot Chocolate Talking Cat Curious Discus. Wonder what one the cat will get first ;0 Hoplo and Tiger Lotus Look Ma, a Butterfly! Clowns @ BGK Another FTS And on a completely unrelated note: Oscar. Oscar with friends *currently 3foot tank with 4x sevrums, 2x firemouths, 2x Jewels, and a big plec* So, can anyone recomend for me some plants that grow fairly tall to add as the backdrop to my main tank? And, pref. cheap.

Someone recently told me that I should get a bunkbed, and have a MASSIVE fishtank underneath it.
