  1. I have 7 breeding adults and I think at current count 17 fry at varying stages. Are you after some? I like quite rachovii, steinforti and of course my favourite nigripinnis Also can we get Simpsonichtys fulminantis and any of the Chromaphyosemion here?
  2. Ok so I have been keeping/breed Apy. Australe golds now for a little while now and want to try my hand at another type of Killie. So any suggestion?
  3. Archer here, have done a little small bore at high school.
  4. I vote gordian worm Look at this
  5. how many places does he have to hide? they like lots of places to hide and being in big groups 6 minimum.
  6. That depends on how much you are going to spend. This for example is only 60 dB that is the noise level of normal conversation but is is RRP of $4000
  7. Hydrogen peroxide worked on mine. i just used 10mm of 10% in my 200L tank applied to the algae with a syringe. untreated it all looked like this 3days after peroxiding
  8. Yes the larger the output the greater the price but you still have to look at other factors like the duty cycle. This is the amount of time you can constantly run the generator before you have to stop it for a period of time. Yes there is, after talking to someone who knows more about generators I found that the voltage of the generator drops when you start getting close to it rated power. Also if you are planing to use a Fridge/Freezer with a generator you must take into account that it draws are on average 3-5 time the current on start-up so there-for 3-5 time the power. So if it was going to be a generator just for fish tanks I would recommended finding one with a long duty cycle and aim to be using around 70% of its maximum output. For a fridge or freezer first you will want to find its serial plate to see what its power demand is, triple that and buy a generator that size. And like anything you get the quality that you pay for. Buyers guide to generators Hondas guide to generators
  9. in your case Barrie you would have to choose between you tanks or you cray, but for those of us how have less tanks here is an idea of what you could run a typical Fridge / Freezer uses around 600w my 200L tank uses around 300w my two 40L tanks use around 110w that comes to 1010w so a 1.4 Kw generator will run these comfortable for you tanks just add the power of the heater + pump + lights, when determining the output always assume that every thing is running at once. this will give you your maximum power usage then you can buy a generator to match.
  10. if you pay for the carton of export ill happily drink the contents for you. :lol:
  11. you want me to grow you some Barrie. I have to put nets over my daphnia to stop mozzies taking over
  12. Found this while looking for Killie information, lol. Enjoy :lol:
  13. yes i understand, but these supply safe levels which don't seem to harm plants. So trying these levels and seeing if they get rid of bga might be worth trying.
  14. Have A look at http://www.malawicichlidhomepage.com/aquainfo/algae_peroxide.html http://www.theaquariumwiki.com/H2O2 From the aqurium Wiki So i think if you made a 1-3% solution and soak the plants in there for 5-min. but i have never tryed it so no guaranties.
  15. I have one i am very happy with it, its a tank it holds water. only two problems I have with them - the filtration is not the best. - the wiring in the hood and the power sockets on the side of the hood.
  16. why not just use a short glass partition and cover the top of the glass with so rocks
  17. I believe they would need peat, and the easiest way would be in a container to you can remove and incubate the eggs.
  18. what about this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCubJMGYw5E
  19. so do you have a heater in with your Barrie, i cant remember?
  20. What temp range is it in there year round?
  21. today the 4th day of photos, I can see eyes and the body of the fish. So good news is the one a separated out is fertile. While taking the photos I could also see the fish wriggling in the egg in response to vibration I made. O and consider my arm twisted Barrie.
  22. Yep have been getting between 4-12 eggs a day. I have also separated out one egg and I'm taking Marco photos of it every day, for the past 3 days now.
