  6. How do i set up a turtle tank?

    in Beginners Corner

    Posted

    We've got a setup and 2 adult turtles (1M and 1F),

    that have laid eggs before, but didnt hatch when we put them in sand,

    and other few she got to them before we noticed them :o

    Filter is a Fluval 204, tank is about 90Lx30Wx50Hcm with a shelf.

    Has a turtle light. Couple tins of food. Also has a stand.

    They probably could do with a larger tank or indoor/outdoor encloser.

    Fancy a drive up to Christchurch to pick it all up, myloni ???

    If not, anyone in ChCh interested ???

  12. Guppy Breeding Tanks

    in Livebearers

    Posted

    Hi all,

    Im planning to have a go at some selective breeding,

    and am going to make / buy some tanks.

    I have mocked up a 30x30x20cm tank outta cardboard :lol:,

    and it looks big enough for 3-4 guppys.

    Looks like enough room to fit a small heater, airfilter and a cup with

    gravel and a plant. Decided to go bare bottom for eaze of cleaning.

    ( from what ive read )

    Will tanks this size be big enough ??

    (Only got a couple corners of the house to use)

  15. Penguin tetras

    Mine do exactly the same thing :D

    Even see the odd scale floating away, then getting eaten!!! :lol:

    I had 6 for about 7 months, 1 died a few days ago :cry:

    Not to sure why either, water properties look all fine.

    Altho i have just done a big clean of the tank a few days ago.

    Cool fish, but they seem to hide alot,

    apart from when they are chasing each other or feeding time !!

    More i think about it, i want to sell/give them away,

    and get what i originally wanted in the tank ..... Guppies!!!

    Well, yes this is an old thread dug up from way back then,

    but i thought id give a little up date on my tank ;)

    The 6 original penguin tetras are still doing fine :D,

    and have put on some weight :lol:

    I also added 4 albino catfish and they are doing great too :)

    Before i got the catfish, i did have a couple of algae eaters for about 2 weeks,

    but they died not long after i put the catfish in :cry:

    Its had the 6 tetras and 4 albinos for the last 3 or 4 months, and things are going well :)

    So, now im looking forward to moving out into my own place and getting a few more tanks up and running ;) :lol:

    Yes, i guessed the cycle has only just started,

    but i have been getting clear ( 0 ) results for the Ammonia...

    So, i went and got 4 more penguin tetras this weekend :wink:

    One of the original 2 has become quite a bully !!!!

    Will be keeping a very good eye on the conditions,

    prolly test the water every day for the week or two.

    I have also put in a air filter to put a bit more oxygen into the tank,

    and the extra filtering helps too i guess :D

    No, i never did add the cycle stuff, altho i do have some.
