I hove found that the bloodworms love rotting whole bananas. from time to time I can net quite a large number of them.. but then again because of the rotting bananas I get more mozzie larvae as well and the daphnia numbers decrease.
with regards to tank size.
Most killies would be fine in a tank that is 30cm x 15cm x 15cm.
How do I know? I use them for my killies. just pop in a corner bubble filter and you are away.
And I better advise you before Alan does "KEEP IT COVERED"
Happy killie keeping
Just be aware Riccia and Florish Excel don't mix too well
If you are double dosing your tank to get rid of black beard algae, then I suggest you haul out your riccia and twisted val.....
.... If not you will be left with mush...
... Trust me...it happened to my tank... twisted val and riccia have only just started to come back and it has been over a month.
Welcome Barney
If you are interested there will be a meeting out your way next Tuesday 22 November.
Just a group of keen fishy people who want to get together and meet other fish people.
don't forget to come into the chat room around 9.00pm each night. If you are lucky we will talk fish too :lol:
I personally would just go for one 404
I myself am using a 303 for my 240L tank. and it seems to do a good job.. haven't cleaned it since the beginning of the year. Only using it cause it was the only one I had spare.
Bigger the better I say
any cold water fish
comets, fantails, shubunkin, Blackmoor, WCMM.... the list goes on.
Cheapest out of the lot would be you common comet
Better still get a fine mesh net and net them out and feed your fish inside. Free nutritious food.
If they are blobs of jelly then more than likely they are snail eggs.
normal fish eggs are usually seperate and don't have a jelly holding them all together.
Guppies are livebearers so no eggs at all which is pretty cool
what you could do is to rinse the plants in some amonia first then give them a good wash with clean water.
Or you could get a couple clown Loaches to control snails
Hi 2manytanks
Welcome to the forums.
you must join us for a chat in the chatroom sometime.. most of us are usually there around 9pm
So how many tanks is too many? :roll:
Nah .... parents are still eating eggs.
looking at setting up another tank for the other pair of rams. don't know whats happening but I will get at least 1 batch of eggs every week. Getting tired of getting my hopes up.
Will put a post up WHEN they do have fry and looking after them
