  1. You can grow crypts, ferns and anubias very successfully without co2 in fact many crypts don't like the pH swings created by the co2 and are prone to melt.
  2. Have you got any fish missing? a decomposing fish will produce a lot of ammonia. You could also test your tap water for ammonia.
  3. MTS are livebearers and groups of newborn can often be seen floating on top of the water. Its a great opportunity to scoop them up an dispose of them.
  4. I have 100-200 that will be available soon
  5. Agreed, Males party, females partae :lol:
  6. Great job Is that a 2 foot tank?
  7. Yep, perfectly normal. Most people keep them in tanks with very low flow but as you have seen they prefer high flow, highly oxygenated, soft water. Nice pics BTW
  8. I have found that the "Blue top granny's" like in the top left of your photo do better in tropical conditions so I would avoid adding any more of them 8)
  9. I feed them to ancistrus, panaques, some hypans ,corys, Africans, mystery snails, loaches and anything else that cares to graze on them
  10. I purhased a kilo of them about a month ago to trail as part of a varied diet for my fish. The fish accept them readily, all the fish are in good health with many of them breeding. I have no complaints so far.
  11. Thanks guys, quite cool aren't they
  12. I found this at the beach today, does anyone know what it is. All I can think of is a gill plate. Close up using a USB microscope
  13. Ahhh, I didn't realise that your big tank had an overflow. I thought you must have had some fancy electronic contraption :lol:
  14. I believe that jim r has/had about 16 in one tank, but its a big tank, 8 ft I think
  15. Echinodorus argentinensis loves to poke out of the top of your tank but wont attach to a log This is mine
  16. Ahh well, new time you purchase a product or service that doesn't meet the retailers or manufacturers claims and they didn't "deliberately mislead you" we wont hear you complaining or asking for a refund will we :roll:
  17. I feel that it is ultimately the retailers responsibly and if there is any doubt over an ID that could mislead or deceive the customer then the customer should be made aware, just like when suspected Rio Ucayali could not be 100% identified and they were sold as "spotted bristlenose" instead.
  18. From the Fair Trading Act, part 1 section 9
  19. Yep. There was one of these for sale on TM recently http://www.planetcatfish.com/cotm/cotm.php?article_id=99 I really wanted it but he wouldn't ship http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=355742641
