Cool BNs :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Not sure if you have a Stone and Water world, but if you do they have heaps of black .

I think the murk is mainly from the clay and media i have under the gravel. So far i have taken three buckets of gravel out but there is more to go. I didn't fancy trying to catch all the fish especially the BNs ,hope my Yoyos will appreciate the effort i am going to. I just hope the fish think its been very stormy of late
-
Will my fish get too stressed if i leave them in the tank whilst change some of the gravel. I have removed some of the gravel and the water is rather cloudy and stirred up,through the murky water i can see the fish are having a good dig around the left over gravel though. I have done a water change to help remove clear up the murky water ...

Mine are steady at 24-25 but no heater and hood still up and lights only on for a short time and doors open all day!!!!!!
-
Going to Stone and Water World tomorrow, they have heaps of different sands and grit ... :lol: :lol:
-
Ehiem, they aren't cheap but they work really well and are very reliable.

I have been looking around on that other site, would that Silica Sand be better than white chip marble???
-
My gravel isn't that small so what i think i will do is first get hold of sand or fine gravel and take out as much of the bigger gravel as i can, the plants are at the back so i will be able to add sand/fine gravel to 3/4 of the tank without too much of a problem.
-
I think its looking like i'm going to have to do a major change around then. Better get planning now..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I caught Goldie hanging out on some Ambulia

At the moment my large community tank has a thick layer (8cm) of brightwater gravel and i am thinking about getting some Yoyo loaches and from what i have read they prefer substrate they can burrow in. What would you recommend i use. The tank is planted at the moment so i don't want to rip it all apart but i would like to add a more suitable substrate where i can.

The temps in the two smaller tanks are now sitting at 25 with the heater and lights off and the hoods up so that's good. Thanks for all of the advice
-
Too much insulation in the house,once the heat gets inside we cook!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: lol:
-
Down to 29 now.Hood open and lights out. The biggest tank is pretty stable but the two smaller ones are harder to keep cool this time of year. I wll keep a close eye on them tonight and might do another small water change in the morning.
-
I couldn't believe it,no heater and still toooo hot. I did a water change and its coming down.I will keep lights off and hood open. Its my new tank the one with the BNs and Plecos. I will keep my fingers crossed, the house is just too hot right now

Thanks 90 cm x58x40 running an Eheim pro filter I have no idea about the plecos other than they have spots and are brown.The tank came with a biggish BN so i bought more of them and two plecos.I might add a pair of Angels. I have only had the tank 2 weeks,so its early days. The swords have picked up heaps (they came with the tank but the light hadn't been on much )and the crypts seem to be doing ok, they have only been in a few days 8) 8)

How did you become involved in keeping fish?
Gill replied to fish_fingers's topic in The Off Topic Fishroom
I bought my first tank over 25 years ago when i got married. Had a huge break from them and only recently got back into it all.Only this time i have more than one tank. -
Here is a new photo, i have added some plants and baby BNs
