Cool will let you know there are normaly a few tadpoles by now, but have not seen any yet. Theres a couple of big green ones hanging round though.
-
Could some one please tell me what sort of frogs these are they take over the pool each year.
-
I am looking into a water filter, my fish seem happy enough with out one though and I drink a few liters of tap water a day with out any ill efects.
-
I am going to make one because I am on rain water anyway, thanks for the idea LYNDYLOO.
-
Same here :lol:
-
My tanks are up steers and I use buckets for my water changes, its good exersize. It gets easier each water change
-
I go to the beach for mine cause I like the variations that you come across and I can get drift wood at the same time.
-
Oh yeah thats true but I use the net to do the pool it will leave some muck behind but gets loads out.
-
We have a 5 meter by 14 meter pool and have to clean the muck up every summer and we would never just use the vaccume as is clogs up after a 2 meter strip, Then you have to flush the filter gunk out witch takes 10 minutes each time. You could get a pool net and scrape it accros the ground thats what I do and then dump a whole heap of chlorine in which clears it up in no time.
-
Yeah I am just going to make a rock cave instead.
-
Might just put 1 in a bucket and test the ph in a few days to be safe. Would kribs lay eggs in a pvc pipe instead if the pot raises the ph to much.
-
Ok its only a few guppies in their at the moment. are these any good for testing the ph? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =228980907
-
I will put it in then. I have chucked lots of rocks in my tank and they fizzed an never had any problems.
-
Yeah its terracotta I thought it was just the air coming out.
-
I was hoping to put a flower pot in my tank with a pair of kribs but was fizzing in the water should I chuck it in any way or leave it ?
-
If I do go with the riverine bio type idea would I be able to have a bichir in 180 liters?
-
So if I buffer it with some shells in the filter it should stop the ph dropping more? . Ive never had an issue with ph in my other tanks.
-
I just put a rock on mine.
-
I read they can live in a ph of 5-8 and are not to fusy as long as its clean and has good circulation from a filter to help simulat the river they live in. I was thinking I could get away with out using buffering the water.
-
So if I use beach sand thats close to the shore with shells through it would that be enough to buffer it?
-
180 liters.
-
What is the smallest bichir you can get and would one be allright with lump heads? I thought 180 would be to small for one.
-
That tank looks nice what are the gold coloured rocks on the right?
-
Cool I was just thinking of going for a simple tank with just them. How many could I have in a tank that size? I also thought that the ph could be a bit higher due to having a concrete water tank would this raise the ph?
-
Hi still looking for a tank at the moment looking at one thats 180 liters that comes as a full set up. I was thinking a few buffalo cichlids but unsure hoe difficult they are to keep.
