  1. Not Hans I like the tank Zev, when/if I find a free tank this seems like an awesome idea.

    Be sure you have a good full day free, and a lot of patience. A little time spent planting now, will save you time watching it and waiting for it to spread out.

    Yeah, only if you don't split it up enough! I have a 90x40 tank planted with glosso, got it all (except for a spot on top on the hill) done with one pot. Only catch is, it took me six hours cutting the glosso into pairs of leaves and planting them individually Perhaps a picture of what scapes you're talking about might help?
  7. Perhaps once they grow almost too big for the tank, they are moved on. Sort of like an "advanced" fry grow out tank.
  8. Oi! What are you doing up at this hour Charlie, in regards to the aquarium stocking calculator, it only calculates the adult size of the fish. So 20 adult CLs aren't going to make far more waste and take up heaps more room than 20 say, 15cm CLs. Hope that clears things up.
  9. I like rabbits. And possums have fur so soft :lol:
  10. Unfortunately, no tropical shrimp, just the native specie(s). I've found nothing living really gets rid of algae, not even Ottos. Just keep up water changes, reduce lighting hours and scrub it off. Personally, I keep my display tanks understocked with 8hr photoperiods and hardly ever clean the filters. Never vacuum the substrate either. In my breeding tanks I do daily water changes though. HTH
  11. Happy Birthday Caryl! So sorry to hear about Bud, thoughts are with you

    inbreeding

    Ah, right. I wish my fish would breed true, I have a white/blue and a couple of red ones :-?

    :-? Really? I had fish from the same spawn that were twice the size of each other, maybe more. The smaller ones didn't make it but I read that it's not uncommon to have different sized fish from the same spawn.
  14. A million ROFL's :lol: It truly does say it all. :lol:

    I've found a good protein rich diet, warm, clean water and a bit of salt is good for fin wounds.

    Isn't interbreeding when you breed random fish together? Correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps try linebreeding if you have a goal (http://www.angelsplus.com/ArticleLinebreeding.htm)

    inbreeding

    It's fine to do that, that's how today's strains were created. Breeding father-daughter or brother-sister is quite common, it's actually quite desirable. It does have it's downsides though. Say the father has an awesome tail spread but a weak body, breeding him with his daughter may produce fish with big tails, but also weak bodies. That's when you have to "cross" with another fish, preferably from another line and not some random fish. HTH
  18. I'm sure LA breeds some clean little things. Can they be treated like house rabbits?

    Giday.

    Hello Ras 8) EDIT: If you get a big tank, go planted not africans. You won't regret it.
  20. See? These device fill the need. No need for a giant one unless you have impaired vision. Why bother with a super-sized screen when an ipod touch can do the same but smaller?
  21. The general opinion so far seems to be no. People have phones and laptops, no need for a hybrid.
