You wouldn't need it, but you will find a marked improvement if you did have it.

Yep pretty normal... they're not even Peruvians which are the closest to the real altum that we can get. Peruvians are pretty though.

I see the appeal of having large fish. But I personally want a tank to look pretty; have substrate, plants, good lights and a good mix of fish.

If the fry are free swimming it shouldn't be too much of an issue. New borns will get devoured though.

They'd jump out.

Gah! :tears: :tears: :tears: :tears: Can someone from the WAC help?

I woke up after a late night; got ready watched 'The F word' which is a Gordon Ramsay cooking show; then went out and went shopping.... :slfg: $450+ extras later.... Then I went to Animates and checked up on the lists and the cardinals and came home without spending any more money. Reached home, did a WC on the goldfish tank, mixed up some micro ferts for 'the-obstacle' and bottled it in a wine bottle; following which I cut some potatoes and kumara and seasoned them before cooking dinner a few hours later. Then I saw the movie - 3 days later (I think that's what it's called) and then went and cooked dinner and spent ages reducing the red wine glaze for the chicken. Then i ate food; exercised for a bit and sat down and relaxed with my bottle of wine. :slfg: *hick! Now, im watching TV with the other half of the bottle of wine. :spop:

Beautiful fish, but he almost makes that tank look small! Looks fantastic though.

Very interesting!

That sounds like a good deal. I'm happy to do that. Was he going to the conference?

:an!gry No! But plants! You want plants. And nice fish.

How about a small eel?

Glosso may not grow under that light but it's worth a shot to try out any how. As for the other plants - those lights are adequate.

I never medicate for the sake of medicating. But having said that if I am ever in doubt about a certain fish or plant - I never ever put it in my tank. Also - NGAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

Pff... haha if I was there he'd be taking a tank home especially for them. :sml1:

$3 each aren't they? Go get some more. Just saw a whole lot at animates with black phantoms. The combination of the 2 fish looks terrible :sick: :lol:

Hi all! Is anyone going from Hamilton (or through) to Tauranga weekend of the conference (Queens birthday weekend)? I have a CO2 cylinder that desperately needs a ride!

Also - hoplo catfish. NEED to have them in that tank. If Falkor is in there, that's a bichir (albino).

Welcome and enjoy your time here.

Your kind of heavily planted or my kind of heavily planted. Remember you said my fish were pressed up against the glass. :tears:

LOL. Exercise!

:sick: :sick: :sick:

white poop.

Oh these are proper pretty albino ones! So have you planned showing me some local tanks / shops on the weekend of the conf? :slfg: :rotf:

Another 10-15?
