i cut my substrate back in the large african tank as i found with no water movement through the substrate, it was causing a build up of anaerobic bacteria i think anaerobic is the really coarse language smelling type

i have a few small bits of jave fern now floating in the tank now

wow love the tank pics put some java fern and a log in ours for a change of scenery will have to keep a check on the water prameters though

bring them on ryan, its all about the fish not the photo love the rubescens, methinks i nust add them to the colour scheme

as i understand it a safety factor of 1 would be a minimum for glass thickness as to size of panes so when full of water it might handle the odd light tap or knock i have used a safety factor of 3 for our tanks as they are on public display which i hope means they should be able to handle 3x the impact or 3 x safer than the minimom requirement that said i don't think any tank that is full will stand a good whack with a hard, pointed object this is just my opinion

just send me the money P.s. You do realise they are pickup only don't you?

beautiful fish and photography mark

wouldn't they fit in your pockets on the way back?

i got the same email as well barrie

thats frog burgers

welcome john is your water splashing out of the sides from the waterfall also ditto to what alan said

taking out the american bits, i am still older than dirt i am dust

at nz prices there is a few thousand dollars in that tank caryl

my tank is 2.1 x .9 x .75 high and is comfortable with 2 large aros in it also in there is a jardini and 2 giant gourami i am upgrading the tank soon to give more swimming room the 2 you are proposing to keep are still relatively young and small so should be alright together for awhile, possibly at least a year it will be a matter of trying it but having a backup plan or an alternative tank if things go wrong as they mature as mystic has said slow moving, steady fish are best i have had my aros with bichirs, festivum, angels, port hoplos, synodontis, blue gouramis these are just my personal experiences

don;t know who did it, i would find a damaged plec in the morning

yes to everything except the pleco had trouble with mine but it could have been the jardini

some random pics of some of our africans grumpy and lumpy leleupi guarding his cave mr blue

it depends on the size and agression levels in the fish concerned bringing up fish together from small seems to work for some there are a lot more experienced aro keepers than me on monsterfishkeepers forums i currently house 2 large silvers, a jardini and 2 smaller giant gouramis in a 2.1 x .9 x .75 high tank but it is starting to look full

bringing them up together maybe alright, but i haven't had personal experience with raising small aros, only introducing larger ones breaking up the line of sight with heavy planting or large driftwood has worked for me but they have had the occasional spat my lids are now 10mm glass or heavy acrylic if 2 aros don't like each other you need to have another tank ready to split them up if necessary they have different personalities and some can be incredibly territorial as they get larger the best ones together i think are a pair with no agression from day one, touch wood

by the time the centipede got his boxing gloves and shoes on the fight would be over

Garcon i would like to order my meal and hop to it

price of a commodity is what attracts most people nowadays getting the school involved in the restoration project would be a good idea once you can turn the local kids on to a project the whole family will get involved it will raise awareness in the local community of the problems facing nature wetlands are the planets filtration system a scientific study proposed that every glass of water you drink has been through 6 other humans before you drank it

only 3 species of exotic frog currently available and no others would be allowed to be imported due to the chance of bringing in disease that might affect our native frogs

well done alan

being paid to play in the snow grants job has some pluses some times
