you better make extra room for your bed as well. Once Rose sees what you think you are getting, I think you will out the back with the fishies as well :lol: :lol:

Looking awsome :bounce:

bit slow Alan Posted up the link in the Private Trade and Exchange section Under.... North Island "SMALL" Tank I can just imagine it at your place alan.. where are you going to park the car? :lol:

just saw another 2 convicts had paired up and are in the process of making a nursery at the other end of the tank.... ...Hmmmm... starting to think that I may need to set up some spare tanks as a foster home. :roll:

I saw the Fluval FX5 as well and really wanted one... but I don't have a tank big enough to handle it... or the spare $500+ for it.

Mental note. Use hot water from tap Do not use aquarium heater to heat washing machine :lol:

now that flow rate that are stated on the filters are they: flow rates without media in them? Flow rates with new media in them? Flow rates with media and bacteria and scum in it? If it was the first then I would go with a higher flow rate and then expect it to slow down when the media is full of beneficial gunk

for that tepth I would go for an external filter. more power and you can place the return anywhere you want. Whereas with the HOB filter you can't place the return where you want. the closer the top of the water is to the return on the HOB the less noise you get.

a Aquaclear hang on back filter will do the trick quite nicely. I have 2 of them at the moment. I get to decide what media goes in. never did like HOB until recently.

stopping them breeding should be easy. Raise the temp back up to 28 or she goes to a convent tank :lol:

Congrats Peanuts. :bounce: Now If only my BN will do the jiggy thing

as I said...I had to reduce my temp to 24 deg C before anything happened. even one of my juvenile Jags is showing signs of wanting to do the wild thing and sulking in a cave (cup) Prior to the lowering of the temp... nothing

Like Caryl said... External...any one will do

hmmm that 15000 litre tank may make it just right :lol: :lol:

Not only do men have that problem Wives have the same problem too. showed my wife and now I don't have nookie for a month :roll:

Ok... after many many months of convicts not getting into mischief, I had finally decided to drop the temp from 28 deg C to 25 deg C and now the convicts are horny as... saw my first batch of eggs last night and they were still there this morning. now the wait..... who will eat the fry? Jags Port Hoplos GBA Chocolate Cichlid or other Convicts.

which seahorse farm is this? the one in Napier or Tauranga?

140 litres if you fill right to the top but if you fill 5cm below it would be around 120 litres Good size. With regars to the top brace. get another piece of glass cut to the same size and glue it back on.

The place in Henderson that makes tanks is Tough Tanks, 42 Henderson Valley rd. They also sell tank accessories as well. I do know that they currently have spare a 1700 x 600 x 600mm tank, made of 12mm thick glass. Otherwise Greg is a good place.

If you are on a budget then I would first recomend that you go with cold water fish. ie, fantails, comets, white cloud mountain minnows, danios, corys, rosy barbs, celestials, inanga, etc. the bigger the fish you get the bigger the tank you will require. a nice size tank to start off with is a smallish one of about 54 litres 60 x 30 x 30cm you will need also require the following - filter... Hang on Back ones will do nicely and not very expensive - Gravel - Plants a good beginner fish I would recommend is the White Cloud Mountain Minnow, as they are very easy to look after and will breed quite quickly Hope that helps

sorry... wcmm are a goldfishes fish fingers. especially the baby ones. Best to keep the wcmm on their own if you want large numbers of them

My WCMM really love white worms. they seem to breed quite profusively when they are fed white worms. Then again outside I just give my WCMM some flake now and then.. otherwise let them find their own food

can't see any reason why not. Ponds are in the ground :roll:

I didn't know her either but from what I have read she will be missed. Then again any aquariast here would be missed.

Ah the joys of a large section. can't do that with my small property
