A pair of discus need about 30 gallons .. babies would need the 4ft though

4ft for a pair of discus ?

Welcome Cliff Sounds like you have a great variety of fish

Ive got: 5 x britlenose (1 x 12 cm, 1 x 6 cm, 3 x 2-3cm) 3 x bronze cories (2 x female , 1 x male) Things I am going to get: Matto Grosso Ancistrus (breeding pair) Golden Black Eye Ancistrus

Of course you need to

Have you looked up to see how big these fish get?

wow, you mean you have never done a water change since mid-january?

Just so you know, I was only being sarcastic and I think Alan was as well... Chris-

Or some baked beans

Welcome! You have some nice tanks and fish there Quite a selection Chris-

Welcome John, hope to see you in chat. We are in there most nights @ around 9pm. Goodluck with convincing your wife Chris-

Welcome CatBrat What catfish do you breed? I am looking at getting into Bristlenose Thats a pretty large tank, could house a lot of catfish in there Hope to see you in chat sometime, we are in there around 9pm each night. Chris-

Well, you could put your eel in it, I hope you don't have little fish in where it's going, they eat neons Good live food for them. Setup a eel only tank

You will need his latin name, then we can help more

lol, 15 gallons. Well, I'd say about 40 litres per fish is quite good, you can go over this if you do water changes every day.

or this: is that anything like it?

15g a discus is a pretty good rule. Do regular water changes on them, have it well planted (so they have somewhere to hide). I wouldn't recommend getting small ones as they tend to need perfect water (not that discus don't, they are just harder than others to look after). I would get some medium ones, say 3-4 inch in diameter. A pH of 6.5 is good. Make sure the tank is well cycled, I would hate to add them in too early and wake up and find them floating. If you buy them in a group, they tend to have less fighting than if they are in groups of 3 or less, and you may find you get some pairs (and get the tank bug ). If there's anything else just ask Chris-

Pics received. Ahh now I see about the coil ! I will try this and see how it goes when we move. Will see how much it reduces the temp before I add any livestock though. Here's the pics:

Alisha - if you want you could send them to my email [email protected] I can host them for you as well to show everyone else

Yeah, but this new house will have a cold spot somewhere.

Ah good idea! Now, where do I get these coils from :?

Do you fill the pipe up every day with ice? So its sorta like this: ------[____]----- ^in ^chiller ^out With drilled holes in the sides? Thats quite a neat idea, and I have a big chilly bin here which I haven't used for ages.

Caryl - if you need somewhere to host it, I have an orcon account and could host it there. Chris-

Andrew, how easy are they?

Wow Warren, do you breed Discus?
