  1. onions ( in meatloaf??) :roll: :lol:
  2. I had a tropical in my 4ft tank, no feedy type substrate, and it flowered, small flowers admittedly, but, flowers none the less. The plant was a tropical water luily, as opposed to a hardy type, so it may pay to find out the type of your plant. Bulbs are usually tropical, roots are hardy. Tropicals will keep growing all year, hardys need a winter, I believe. Hope this helps.
  3. :bounce: Just bought home a red eared slider, so now what? Apparently she has been kept outside all year, has a little issue with a lack of light, as she was kept in the shade. She is now in a tank next to me, right by the window. also running is a tank light. So now what do I do?
  4. just off the top of my head, 10mm sounds too thin??
  5. Silly question time? How do they do in a tank with soil substrate? I thought theym ight dig it up?
  6. Stella; A hogger is a machine that is used to render (chop up) the left over bits from abbotoirs, and fish and chicken processing plants, so they usually come with a good collection of their own livestock Does anybody know if maggots are safe to feed to fish, that is wild caught maggots?? :bounce:
  7. Come and visit me at work when we have a new hogger in, there are lots, usually, and there is no problem with culturing, just catching... :bounce: :roll:

    Plywood tank

    i would suggest that the size of the glass be increased. My4ft'rs are 10mm , so if you want bigger, then, surely thicker glass would be needed? I recently saw an 8ft'r it was about 15 mm thick.
  11. I thought they were a minature species, D'oh :lol: :roll:
  12. My daughter even reckons she can see that some are black, and some white. The parents, she black, he naturalish :bounce:
  13. Insert fingers, slightly spread, perform raking/combing action, repeatedly clean fingers continue steps until level of duck freeness is reached. problem solved. Seriously, you could also use the edge of a net also. :bounce:
  14. Good news the worms seem to be gone, the fry are swimming, and I am so happy :bounce: there seem to be in excess of 30 flying fry yay!!! :lol:
  15. Update: they have hatched, but along with them are a large number of what appear to be nematode type worms, will they be a problem?? There appear to be about 20-30 remaining.
  16. Yes, we actually saw them in action, and they wern't even put off by us, which is good. definately on the maybe not, sperm wise, he just followed on just as quietly as she did, running up the row.. We have removed the filter last night, as they eggs were in the community tank, and could not have lasted.
  17. Just looked at the angels tonight, and noticed that they seem to be a pair, egg tube/little willie pair. Looked in later :roll: They were doin' it. a patch of eggs on the in tank filter. So; the plan is to remove the eggs at the sessation of laying, transfer them to another tank and hope.... Any help /suggestions welcomed.
