Your fish looks like a VT/Veiltail.

I just do it all on a calculator and doesn't 1 litre weigh about 1 kg?

Happy Birthday Grant! Have a good one :bounce:

200cm x 36cm = 7200 x 30cm = 216000 / 1000 = 216L/150 Phoenix Litres :lol: Maybe he wants it as a full, bare bottomed breeder tank?

200cm x 36cm = 7200 x 30cm = 216000 216 Litres You're welcome

Looks like my kind of fish!

Water changes are fine, you can use airline istead of a big hose if you're worried about it. Just take out and put in water slowly and gently, stay away from the eggs.

That's just strange... It could be on LolCats though, "I ar not sprakler bomb!!"

Cool, I'm thinking of getting a Pantodon Butterfly but wondering if my 3 foot x 1 foot tank is big enough. Got some baby wagtail platies in ATM so need to grow them up. Is Kingston happy in there?

Looking good 8) What sized tank is that and what size are the smallest occupants?

That sounds about right. Leave them alone for a day and see how they get on. That's the advise I've been given in the past.

Yeah, it should be fine on the short side, may create more water movement though. As long as there is no water or direct contact between the filter and light, it should be sweet as. I recommend getting an acrylic lid so it's easily cut to size and shape. Got mine off TM but look in plastic stores otherwise. HTH

Once they've spawned, take her out immediately.

Haha, I just got that. :lol: :oops:

I agree Ira, some of the things I hear employees say to customers makes me want to ROFL. But the staff at HFF have never steered me wrong.

Uh-oh. I smell an arguement... But P44 is right. Animates contributes far more heavily to the economy than most of the little shops combined. The fact is that less informed members of the public will shop there because it's easy and popular. You can choose where you'd like to shop, be it a little local LFS, that pet store down the street or the chain store in town. But in the end, it's up to you. If you want the best prices then shop around, but for many people, paying that little bit extra for the complete kit is often far easier.

Driving's easy(ish). I'm learning now, can get my restricted some time in Nov' I think. Don't have my own car but my private driver can take me places. :lol:

A pic that was taken a little while ago: Love the irredscence? 8) All fish have now been cleared of Whitespot, did a water change on Monday (I think) and another one today. Turned the temp down from 28 to 27. The red delta boy only flares at the lady next door but the other (above) flares more intensely at his mirror. Hoping to move the female to the 3 foot tank when I find another female (for the above fish). Anyone got any MG HM or HMPK females?

Well they're in the Marina net breeder now with a clump or two of floating, algae covered Riccia na dI'm feeding Liquifry once a day. They're still too small to take microworms but they're still alive!

I'm not sure, higher temps may help. If they do (do a quick google), up the temp slowly. About 1 degree per day.

Haha! :lol: Thanks Jennifer, this has been quite a fun thread so far. If the Glosso grows, I'll be stoked. I've currently got the lights at the very front of the tank. I figure the Hairgrass and Rotala doesn't need as much light and the Glosso should get as much as possible. Hoping to move the 4 young wagtail platies in tomorrow afternoon. :bounce:

How strong is the UGF? Turning down the air would be fine if it's too strong, if that doesn't help then shut it off.

Those are some intense guppies! They look like they're glwoing kinda. I've never seen anything like that here before.

Give them some time, if the conditions were right for them to spawn before then they'll be at it again in no time. Maybe more food, that always helps I've found. Good luck.
