???What about the Financial members who pollute the forum with ill language due to there lack of control over there own anger (weakness found)! The topic was back on track for just a brief moment, if you wish to exchange language use the pm button (no one here thinks your tough!) End of debate! Back on topic, The money (fine).... Where would the approval on the information come from and how would it be chosen as to which genus is liberated first?

Where would the funding come from?

Starlight?

Theres a massive difference in the liters a Jager is rated for, not the typical 200watts = 200liters.

Then you know very little of the hobby and this thread, as most of it has said how this would effect future imports :roll:

Galaxy/celestial danio, pygmy corydoras?

Very well done!

As i said cyprinus carpio was brought in legally in the beginning but is not on the allowable imports list and was eventually classified an unwanted organism. As i stated in the first place these fish are here and are not allowable "imports", making it entirely up to MAF if they are to be banned or not is in there court.

Meaning until proven legal, although Carassius Auratus is here MAF have the ability to make them illegal at any time (koi)... although it would be a useless effort to control such a widespread fish.

Or classify them an invasive species so they can euthanize your fish, as has been done in other incidences.

And how he can help.

So you make them available, the wholesaler has access now 50 people each need to buy 3 for it to be worth while, not to mention a wholesaler cant buy pass retailers. Yup

The main problem with the already allowable species is they have to be bought in bulk, other wise its a waste of a quarantine tank to the importer and the cost of freight $$$! In most cases the fish will be bred privately and sold amongst hobbyist before the wholesaler can turn over the quantity they have imported and will end up losing more money. You would still have to go through an importer in order to bring anything into the country so the "import" can be quarantined.

Filtration is the same as any other aquarium "it needs to be adequit" plecs are typically quite territorial so if you wish to keep more than one the tank needs to be larger again than double what would have been enough for one. Unless you can provide and exact species or at the least genus the answer will remain the same.

Almost definitely, theres not much that can stop a large plec doing what it wants. Iv never known a large plec to be a good scavenger you would almost definitely have more luck using some of your larger clowns. More to the fact L114, L25 are very much protein based and would find a food source of scraps insufficient. A large plec probably wouldn't scavenge for such minute particles of food and even if it did would simply make more of the matter smaller then consumed, leading to a faster break down anyway. Large silver dollars even though not a bottom dweller will remain too large for your fish to eat, remain sub-dominant in the feeding chain and swiftly consume any food the Saratoga leaves to fall. HTH

A gravel syphon :lol: I know of no plec that will clean a tank, will create more waste then it would remove. Most of the colourful loricariidae are not algae grazers and would require there own food source (that could not be substituted by scraps) :lol:

Beside the out break of an infection that a non-invasive treatment would have prevented. :roll:

Have you got a picture?
