  1. while the fish may be designed for it they don't spend their whole day in power mode
  2. rivers usually go in one direction you will need to create eddies to give the fish some respite
  3. http://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-newspapers/we ... -huge-show
  4. may have to move this to off topic i got a bit carried away with it :oops: artistic expression and all that guff 8)
  5. haven't had a problem yet, even in salt water doesn't mean it is safe though except for puffer chewing the background
  6. 7 generations of line breeding will show it up if its in there
  7. no its only 3 metres long getting warm though
  8. started to make another background used liquid nails and glued some 100mm slabs of poly together and started shaping it can't decide what form it will be may go freestyle
  9. you could get her a bigger tank for xmas
  10. they should stay as a pair the future dynamics will depend om the personalities involved the young maybe a pair though
  11. yes they will live as a family group but they will keep on breeding
  12. fern is an interesting colour, used to have a cockbird a similar colour bred my first lutinos from it nice pair of chicks you may need an aviary as i don't think you will be able to part with them and they will both need mates in the future
  13. i feed oxheart as part of a varied diet i do run on the thought that a slightly hungry fish is a happy fish though
  14. well done stella going into the club library
  15. fish was primarily a plant eater in a tank of predators basically any food where a fish over eats and stores residue in the body can cause it in this case beef heart may have been part of the problem feeding once a day could be a factor, where an animal feeds all day in the wild getting its daily intake in one hit could cause a fat build up
  16. yes it is important to let them grow at a steady rate this was a fast fish so got to food before other tank inhabitants that amount of fat could put pressure on vital organs and slow down their function friend was gutted, no pun intended
