  1. it is like many people, we do research but always like to get an idea of peoples personal experiences with things also part of being a human being is we are a social animal and like totalk to other like minded people
  2. yes there are a lot more people turning to local tanks amazing what you find in your backyard Jewel Anemone (Corynactis haddoni) The jewel anemone is named for its brilliant range of colouration, Individuals may be bright orange, red, green, pink or white and the tentacles are usually contrasting colours. The body of this anemone is smooth, and squat. The mouth is in the centre of three rings of up to 100 tentacles each ending in a small bulb; this anemone grows up to 2cm in size. Jewel anenomes live in shaded spots on exposed coasts where they are usually found underneath rocky overhangs or on vertical surfaces. They extend their tentacles and feed on drifting food particles such as planktons etc. Like other anemones, the jewel anemone can reproduce asexually by splitting, which leads to clusters of identically coloured clones, these clones joined to a common sheet-like base can often join each other forming patchwork quilts of many colours.
  3. a 5cm whiptail is not much more than a couple of mouthfuls it will depend on the size of the other fish involved a lot of forums are about people asking questions
  4. have seen them kept and bred in smaller cages funny after 2 years together this should happen as said above for possible help
  5. good point firenzenz because of their genetic makeup this treatment could be hard on some fish

  13. thats what happens when you keep 2 cars of different species in the same garage hybridisation
  14. over the years of keeping other peoples animals as a job and then my own and losing some as well i have developed to not become too attached to them but some through their characters still get under my skin
  15. kick myself every time i think of it which is often, should have known better the only thing good at hindsight is a stag mesh lid has been made for that now
  16. was actually trying to clarify for myself
  17. lost the jar :evil: it jumpeed, had the lids off and lights on of a night to feed on huhu beetles and moths 9pm went up to house came back at 10pm turned lights off and put lids on did a few other chores then walked past aro tank on the way upstairs thought something was wrong, stood there lookibg at tank in the dark and realisedjar wasn't there ran around the outside and found it laying under tank still warm but dead sad time, my favourite fish 28 inches
  18. the "to sump" pipe determines the height of the tank water the u tube is allowing tank water to flow to the "to sump" pipe container so long as the u tube is full of water it will flow water is pumped from the sump, this then flows through the overflow system to the sump when the sump pump stops the water displacement remains static, no flow the outlet of the pipe from sump pump needs to be above level of tank water to stop flow back to the sump if pump stops this can be achieved with a non return valve or a hole above water level to break syphon back
