That is a lovely deep black, does it come in Plakat?

Discus are less destructive than sevs. I'd go with the discus, far less likely to eat the tetras but will require a higher temperature. HTH

The thing is, fighters being so intelligent, they have their own personalities. Therefore it cannot be said that "Yes, you can have this many females to this many males in this sized aquarium" because there may well be personality clashes. In one aquarium 1 male and 2 females could work but in another, that same combination may end in tears. I have owned male fighters that could easily have been kept with females, yet I wouldn't put my current PK with females unless I wanted to breed them. Even then I'd keep a close eye on them. It all comes down to the personality of the fish really. Hope that clears it up

Out of those lights, the T5HO's would be best. BUT, if you went to an eletrical supplier you could likely get T8 fittings (similar to the ones you listed) for a fraction of the price. HTH

Would you like me to teach you how to create a slope dude? :lol: Where's that sand eh?

I would not suggest putting male and female fighters together unless breeding or unless they're extremely peaceful.

Adequate space. What kind of tank is it though?

That's looking better than expected, very good for a first timer

That's bound to cause issues with bacteria, use large rocks under sand to create hills.

Adrienne is the best locally IMO, flick her a PM 8) HTH

That's half the tank size

Up to you Careful, they come in 25kg/litre sizes, don't strain your back :lol:

Wouldn't you be covering all the sand with glosso anyway? :lol:

I'm sure it can be grown like that somehow :lol: Maybe join one of the large international aquatic plant or aquascaping forums and ask them how it's done.

It's a tall Eleocharis of some sort, could be Eleocharis vivipara, that style of using it is very common. Welcome.

+1 to that Jen

Do you sleep in the shed?!

:lol: That damn song!

Have $6?

*holds back technicality remarks* Why gravel over sand?

This afternoon I filled my 192 litre with a hose pointed into an ice cream container. Unfortunately I have a very fine and dirty sand in there, the powerhead fell while I was out and now it's cloudy

That couldn't be any more true :lol:

You only get what you give

It's quite clever really, even the loading screen is witty.

Or get woken up at 10:30am after she's mown the lawns :lol: Fauxhawk :lol: :roll: Just advertise then P44. I would not walk up to random houses and ask them if I could do jobs for them. Whereas a flyer on the local dairy would get my attention straight away.
