  1. Might just have to sell everything for an 8ft tank :nilly:
  2. Tie the moss down in a thin layer to wood or rocks using thread. With hairgrass it's best to split it up as much as possible but bunches of about 12-20 blades should be sufficient. HTH.
  3. Hey guys. What options do we have in NZ for small-med predatory fish? The largest tank I have room for is a 120x40x40 but prefer something around 100x30-40(D)x30(H), not looking to upgrade in the future either. All I can think of is a Pantadon Butterfly. I just want a fish I can feed stuff to really :lol: Thanks!
  4. That sucks Steph! I'm down to two fighters myself, one isn't look great and the other has whitespot. I have no idea what happened as I had seven perfectly healthy fish just a month ago. But don't give up, we all have moments like this. I just step back and focus on something else for a while. Best of luck.
  5. Wow Trilio, that vid is awesome! 5pm TV One today, Our World: River Monsters
  6. Woah! That amano looks like a grasshopper
  7. Does the second to last fish in the previous lot of pictures not have a deformed head/mouth? Or is it just the camera angle?
  8. They really needed to count the "man hours" on that video too. Several hundred men working over two days is probably equal to a dozen or so guys working over a year.
  9. It depends to what extremity the genetic deformity exist. I for one cannot stand doubletails :sick: Shiny blue is in fact a genetic mutation, purists would call it a deformity
  10. I love the rosetails :nilly:
  11. Amazing how Asia gets stuff done so quickly and efficiently!
  12. Ah Louie (that how you spell it?) :lol: Little rascal.
  13. So that takes it up to 12 peppered cories :happy1:
  14. Thanks to Josh for dropping off some more peppered cories tonight!
  15. I use 2cups of raw sugar, about 1/2 TBSP of yeast and up to the curve in a 3L juic bottle of very warm/hot water. Shake it up and wait for it to cool down before attaching to the diffuser. HTH.
  16. That's a solid pairing Adrienne!
  17. I personally quite like the "rose tails" 8)
  18. !drool: When can I come over? :lol:

    New tank

    No worries mate! It looks really good Make sure you keep that riccia nice and short or else it rots underneath :sick:
  20. Bunnings and Mitre10 Mega likely stock these bulbs actually.
  21. I find that if males and females are kept within view of each other for long periods of time, they lose interest in breeding.
  22. I spawned mine in a 60x30 without any problems. Keep the males and females separate for a month, feeding them on good live foods such as bloodworms. Then introduce the pair to the spawning tank, the water in the spawning tank should be warmer than usual, around 28-30 is good. Usually the male will make a nest and they will spawn when you let the female out. HTH.
