  1. i have tried everything with some animals birds etc, given up on them then been surprised when they have done it on their own tank of their own may be best bet, if you can do it before you go, might get a surprise when you get back but then it is another tank for someone to look after good luck
  2. bare bottom is easier to keep clean especially if you can use the flow from your filter to sweep the bottom driftwood is ok as well
  3. you don't say how old the unit is taps may not be seated properly on the housing or "o" rings if no airlock in canister i think those impellers have little washers in them , did you reassemble everything in the right order of parts rubber seats at ends of shaft can get worn and allow a little more movement making rattle noise a plastic bag and one chilly bin should be o.k. for 2-3 hours
  4. at least your calling the shots there dubbo

  9. don't know how old you are Atown but we used to get the edge of the ruler on the knuckles if you got things wrong more than once
  10. i suppose in the dark white is still white havehad about 25 handed in last 15 years, being recessive or sex linked it must mean that they survive well enough to pass on their trait
  11. 80 to 100 in shops about 40 to 50 privately 25 plus for newly morphed and as repto said you can get given them

  18. the gonopodium is basically a hollow tube this reminds me of the jacobin pigeons and their long feathers, they can't breed without having their feathers trimmed
  19. now that is a himalayan monal not a monitor
  20. salt water is a big learning curve the theory may be spoton but practical is another kettle of fish i have been keeping and breeding seahorses for 25 years the tank maybe 250 litres but the surface area isn't large you are right they do need height, for breeding only they need clean water they are not a fish to start keeping marines with waterfaller wasa trying to be helpful and starting out keeping marines is better if you have experienced hands to fall back on, when the problem you come across is not on the internet or in a book you need to know it back to front, inside out and upside downside good luck
  21. you sound like you are very experienced at keeping seahorses charlie
