Zig Zag

VinsonMassif Did you use the sand for tropical or marine? Does the sand have salt in it? Does the sand come in different colours? :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

i'm wanting to get some fine black sand.

i was thinking i could use sand blasting sand but don't know if it will do anything to the fish.

I've seen many fish tanks with sand in them, and i was just wondering what people use. To me it looks like sand blasting sand. (Its for a tropical tank). :-?

is that a flash pleco at the bottom?

might look at getting one

Any pix?

I can't wait.

I think the people selling the silver dollars have got mixed up with Red Pacus, which do grow to the size of their tank, the two fish are very similar in shape. I could be wrong

OK thanx

David R, what size tank is it.

Can you get these in New Zealand, if so how much? Green Phantom L200 King Tiger L066 Scarlet L025

Any ideas anyone i was thinking I could get a Red Spot Pleco, Black Ghost Knifefish or a black shark.

I found this so i can have one. Factfile Ornate polypterus Polypterus ornatipinnis Size: Said to reach more than 60cm (24") in the wild but captives seldom grow larger than 38-45cm (15-18") long. Guide price: Starting at around ?18 for a 15cm (6") specimen to around ?45 for a 30cm (12") fish. ************************************************************* Aquarium: Minimum 120 x 37.5 x 45cm (48" x 15" x 18") for a single specimen but you could keep a pair in this size tank with no problems at all. ************************************************************* Anyone wanting to keep more, or other varieties together, should buy at least 180 x 45 x 45cm (72" x 18" x 18") as these fish can be aggressive towards each other if there is not enough space and hiding places. Water parameters: A very easy fish to please: pH 7-8, GH 10-18. Temperature: 25-27?C (76-80?F). Diet: The best food for Polypterus includes earthworms, prawns, mussels, whitebait, cockles as well as trout and catfish pellets. These are not over-active fish, so food only needs to be offered two to three times per week. Breeding: P. ornatipinnis has been bred in the aquarium. The male has a larger anal fin which he uses like a cup to gather the eggs from the female's vent. These are then deposited on plants. There are around 200 to 300 eggs which hatch after four days at a temperature of 26?C (78?F).

What size tank would you recommend

How about * Black Shark *Red Spot Plecostomus *Red Bellied Pacu * or a Giant Gourami
