  1. the top of the posts are cut so the skirting fits into it corner post tops look like this a bit
  2. 100mm x 100mm posts for legs bolted with 10mm or 12mm galv bolts countersunk to 1500 x 50mm dressed for top runners and 100 x 50 for bottom rails 25mm tanalised ply for base board for tank built to hold 3,000l of water the wheels are just to move while working on the tank put in some diagonals as your base will be taller
  3. yes they will interbreed as they are both pseudotropheus, and probably produce fertile offspring as well edit"- if animals etc are of the same genus they can generally interbreed and be fertile an excepion is a horse and donkey pairing
  4. Yes quite dark for a kenyi and 2 many stripes for a five stripe lamprologus did the picture come with any more info aqua? pseudotropheus demasoni whiticus
  5. Jardini. pound for pound the best around no contest with any fish previously mentioned whats your fave reevesta?
  6. i have 3 in a 2 1/2 footer, 1 male 2 female? waiting for them to make their minds up :roll:
  7. it would solve the "which side do you dress on sir" question at the tailors
  8. thanks stella i was hoping you would stop by it has been awhile since i have had natives in a glass tank so the ID tips are very useful thanks another one for anyone to identify
  9. a birds breastbone should be like a tegel chicken, lots of meat either side if it is like a yatch keel do not purchase sress is the biggest killer of birds, they use up their vitamin b's and go into paralysis remember birds have a high metabolism and can go from being well to dead in as little as 4 hours barbary doves are pretty tough usually sorry you had to go through this, but a lesson may have been learnt for the future like fish you should try a quarantine period
  10. sometimes first time spawning is a learning curve for the fish and they may expel eggs early next time may produce a longer hold and fry
  11. if you are going to make the bar free standing and just the frame for the tank then it might pay to put some diagonal bracing on the stand or some steel angle brackets as they use when building decks on houses
  12. they'd probably think it was the bad guy in the new star trek movie or a new gang that has moved in bro', respect
  13. i have used 2 footers for growing out mixed fry but it doesn't take long to outgrow the tank
  14. i had dreams of fibreglassing tanks huge down one side of a 40 footer with walk through end to end, still do dream
  15. some inanga bottom fish inanga or young banded kokopu?
  16. looks good bare bones are good and will be strengthened by the outer covering of stand good idea on the speration between tank base and bar top i find our malawis low maintenance and always busy
  17. the answer to a skinny puffer is a bicycle pump dixon
  18. they need inflating the three stooges are looking good oeminx
  19. 3 of our fronts in picture, the 7 stripe is the alpha, fish top right is the sub
  20. in an insulated container i used a oil column heater and a fan heater, once heated they weren't on much
  21. that may work as i have noticed with mine it is a visual thing, once the other guy is out of his space the agression stops the sub fish has a flat rock angled against the side of the tank he slips into and effectively disappears
