Fun fun! :bounce: I remember my big shop, VERY pricey. Now I can see I could have done it better for cheaper.

Anywhere in town that sells driftwood? - landscaping places? Almost all pet shops will sell it, fish shops definitely will. As for landscaping places, they may sell it, best to ring and ask. And sand -so i can grow some plants Mitre10 Mega has 25L bags of coarse or fine sand for around $6, may have Silica sand and good aquatics/pet stores will have it but they tend to be more expensive

Stop stressing BikBok! :lol: All inbred/linebred fish are going to become deformed in one way or another down the line. If you don't want to cull deformed fish then let them bred with who ever, make wild type guppies. If you'd like the fancy types then selectively breed and cull the deformed ones. Good luck!

Told him what? :lol:

I have a breeding pair I can catch and photograph for you. What angle do you ned them on?

Or maybe he did mean AFAIK? :-?

Look under the Natives section. There is an expert lurking here, she'll be here soon... 8)

As Far As I Know. I think HaNs meant ASAP 8)

Try all of them!

Maybe you could breed from him and cull any young that are deformed?

A guy in Math class just got one, very happy with it. Nice looking phone.

Yes, bummer

Uh-oh

Where to start? Never fear, we're hear to help. If it was me, I'd start by finding a picture, or even better, a journal of an aquarium that I like. Tha way, we can tell you how best to achieve that look/style. Kinda like a haircut 8)

Any advice to help a newbie. Yes, research, research and research! Research which fish you want to keep, how to keep them, who they can be kep with, what kind of water they like, what foods they like, how they breed etc. And fnd a picture of a tank you like and go from there. There are many different types of tanks, planted, biotope, community, etc. Any good stores to buy accessories from in Palmerston North? Animates? Or you can order things online through Petmart Can someone list what else i need, where to get it from, brands etc??? It all depends on what kind of aquarium you'd like. As a beginner, I'd suggest: -Gravel or Sand for the bottom -A heater, any fully submerisble one is okay. 150w should be fine for this tank -Lights, you've got those but you might need different or more tubes in order to grow better plants. If you don't want to grow special plants then no special lights are needed -Filter, you've also go that but perhaps different media? ALSO Iive been told by the store that i will need an air pump - but I've been told by a few people that i wont because i have a hood filter - can someone clarify this please???? An airpump is only really needed in a breeder tank or in a tank with lots of fish and little oxygen. Most aquariums won't NEED one but if you don't mind having slower growing plants, you can use one. HTH and welcome!

I'm not sure if this relates because I've never had Val before but when I first setup my first tank, the plants hardly grew. After a while they went nuts! Then a long time after that, they started to die. Changed the light tube and they started growing again. Magic

Or is this the end? Nah, I'll play nice. Decrepid

Nice floors Try using macro (flower button) next time.

Erm?

ADodge! Thank you very much, will start that right away.

Going pressurized can be expensive, best to try DIY first I reckon. Didn't have ANY CO2 for ages an my plants were doing well, added it (DIY) and the only difference I've seen is pearling. :-?
