any thoughts on cheapest way to heat i have a 300w jaegar and a 300 watt stainless steel heater in there at the moment because the walls and lid are polystyrene i am hoping to retain heat well it has gone from 18 to 22 degrees water temp today over 9 hours put a huge stump in there today, still floating :roll: and a no tail ice blue adult, he looks lost

i will only be wearing the bald wig and fat costume don't wear the makeup any more except when i go out

then you can build all the tanks you want good luck

i have met too many grumpy old people who wished they had done more with their lives, lamented missed oppurtunities and blamed others for their present situation i, like everyone have had my ups and downs and knockbacks but i have learnt that sometimes the things you thought were the worst experience when you were going through them were actually setting you on a better pathway your life will be all that you allow it to be

your guess is as good as mine

with 5 of each they should breed in their own species some fish will interbreed when there is no suitable partners available some african cichlids interbreed freely which can muck up pure lines of fish generally speaking if the first part of their scientific name is the same they can freely interbreed researching and asking questions is the bst thing you can do how long have you had your tank?

another one for you ants

no worries why do you want to cross the 2 fish, just interested in what it will make?

he arrived in good nick well done mystic did a long acclimatisation in the fish bin let me pick him up easy but decided to have a thrash as he went into tank knocked a scale off and scrached himself but cleared up within a few days he is looking good and leaving the SAEs alone, one was swimming with him yesterday

hi and welcome peace you can add your location in the user control panel at the top of the page sorry i can't answer your question

yes i am aged and another smiley for you

laughter iis something that is easy to share sam my pockets aren't big enough for an elephant out of all the animals i have worked with an elephant was probably the tops they could be so nasty and destructive yet so insecure and gentle one of jumbos handlers years ago was drunk and crawled into her trailer and fell asleep she wouldn't let anyone near him to wake him up so he had the hosed turned on him to wake him up

i would use cool store walls again but line the inside with marineply and then fibreglass still use 4x4 framing for strength ontop of fibreglass i have 3 coars of water tank paint to ensure water tightness, it was cheaper than epoxy paint most costly part is the glass, that is why i used 15mm acrylic i have 2 x 200 litres of pumice rock for the sump if i go that way

pachyderns doos $5.00 a bag do not apply directly to roses could have road apple tossing might be more pc than dwarf tossing i used to be accurate with a 3 pronged hay pitchfork up to about 70 metres with a road apple going up the auckland motorway one day riding on the back of the elephant truck a car load of hoons started yelling abuse windscreen wipers are not good at moving about 30kgs of road apples

part of the cost maybe for waste management

i would do thigs differently and not listen to the so called experts ie the tank going to be inside or outside and does it need to be movable?

5 dollars a bucket and ten dollars for the photo

that is a long holding period

yes i run the same on the eel pool

depending on size about 4 bales of hay a day, 20 cabbages, 10 to 20 loaves of bread we did deals with farmers and food store chains

taken in napier too many years ago :oops: had to handraise 3 lion cubs when mum wouldn't feed them i had them on a lactating bitch for a week but they were too stroppy on the nipple

any thoughts on filtration?

already got the big bichirs the price of big dats doesn't do it for me

no between 20 to 50 a day the spin doctors are at play

4 silver aros, 1 scleropages jardini, 1 giant gourami, 1 oscar, 1 catfish (panzer), 1 pangasius and maybe 2 large ornates have another 2 aros out on loan that will come back one day just running a aquaone 2400 at the moment with 2 large powerheads for more water movement have another 2400 to put on when i move fish have a spa pool filter off the eel pool i may try or 3 metres of sump full of pumice may be an option with biggest pondmaster on it still undecided but may play it by ear
