outside, inside ? fighting, rubbing against something? our females walk the enclosure perimeter till they settle on egg laying site males claws need clipping ? lol

thats a good idea, we have wooden floors i suppose the sand absorbs anything the kids drop off the table :lol: don't you tramp it through the rest of the house ?

Bigger than the ornate we hope

good to hear how often do you feed i feed morning and afternoon keeps them occupied with more to do in the wild they spend their day hunting for food and in the tank they are fed all at once horses are very intelligent and it doesn't take long to become tame and know where the food is coming from

i didn't realise the conch is monosyllabic

sorry saw all the sand and small area of water and made an assumption :oops:

looks good beardies are probably suffering agrophobia in that open space no chance of them being stunted by the enclosure size is there

thanks guys did a search and thought the same but wanted to make sure always best to get more than one opinion vheers

Is this a false percula or a percula clownfish ? brighter orange than photo, about 4cm any ideas ? bought on tm, hes lonely so am looking for a friend

syphon ours through a stocking one of my old ones

I feed bbs to all the small fish and fry, hadn't heard it was bad i just make sure its fresh, hatch in natural sea water as well others more experienced may have a different view though

Thanks luke yes is big, cost 400 with lights, small sump, pump, U.V. and stand. it was a good score. have a bigger tank for long term plans, david am trying to get some numbers together

Thanks henward kept smaller ones together before but not this size thought might be some domination over the territory so was going to try maybe a divider for a while and watch the body language going on

nice tank ?, pic below

I would like to know peoples experiences with keeping more than one sth american aro in the same tank, aros about the same size. tank 2.4 x600 x 600

the evil one was closest consolation prize - some albino cory fry

Daddy and son needed to make it big to see the little fellas cirri with [url=http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?

release at 3 weeks, in the wild only 1 % of progeny reach adulthood, hence the up to 200 babies they can have at a time in the first 24 hrs after birth approx 50 % are eaten or die so they have a slim chance in the wild In the 80's i used to catch and sell them to the pet trade so as i was taking from the wild i think its only fair that i replaced more than i had taken, renewable resource and respect as well at 3 weeks of age their chances of survival to adulthood were greatly increased, let nature take its course after that. it is just a practice i have kept up, if you keep lots of horses you have babies to deal with our turtles lay approx 400 eggs each year but we only hatch 80 as we can only sell about that many each year as responsible owners can be hard to find

love the competition 1st prize a bucket of convict fryy 2nd prize 2 buckets of convict fry

love the horse pics djsurfs one of my favourite local marine scorpionfish

got 3, 2 from early import and smaller from later want some normals about the same size about 7-8cm to grow on with hopefully the sexes are 2 males and female want to try a few combinations of pairing as these are possibly related
