  2. wow thats cool, fishy midwifery
  3. mine are in a wooded box lined with a plastic bag and a bit off glass on top of the soil which the worms collect on, box also has a lid. the wood helps keep them cool 8)
  4. ooo very pretty, excuse my ignorance as havnt done anything with larger cichlids, but is stripping when remove fry from the females mouth?
  5. white worms are easy as, once you have the culture set up, a bit of lunchion meat and constant supply of them
  6. i like it, i like it a lot, i think il look at bricks for my brackinsh tank, just a few more plants
  7. what size tank ya getting? stocking ideas?

  9. hrm maybe i should take her to a lfs and get her to look at what she likes and give advice form there....
  10. i worked out my power usage and it was 25 a month haha
  11. save some pennies, im a poor student and got 5 tanks just have to sacrifice things, like excessive grog, not that you would know about that in dunners
  12. im not a beginer but after others opinions on the best beginner setup and fish that could have. my neighbour has a single goldfish in a crummy little animates plastic tank and im working on convincing her to upgrade. im thinking i may reccomend a 2ft tank for tropical freshwater as a place to start as she is also a poor student, as to fish that wont die on her? ive got millions of gupps she could have, anything else easy and interesting?
  13. our lounge is quite warm so i approximated like 6 hours a day heating as all my tanks have lids so less air contact for cooling. if your worried about insulation just get some old poly boxes and cut them out and stick to tank surfaces that dont matter if cant see through
  14. my big tank has 120W light and 300W heater and with filter approx 64kw month so not too bad
  15. well my 5 tanks came to approx $20 a month haha so it not me making the power bills big
  16. any suggestions on calculating power usage and cost of running tanks? just out of interest and to assure flatmates
  17. nice big school or cardinals or rumminoses? maybe rainbows?
  18. yeah 2ft plenty, thats what all my apisto pairs are in and fine.
  19. be a conch, put heaps of time and effort into them and prove the sceptics wrong go for it dixon (p.s. was a compliment conch)
