I was planning to have two canister filters so just deciding on which brand the second one should be Thanks for the advice.

Butterfly fish it is. Thanks for the help.

True, well ill take the Dat off for now but ill keep it as an option guess ill be saving a bit for an eheim then. How large of a tank do Jardiniis require i'm curious?

The Banjo cat is a bit of an after thought so ill just drop that. As for the Dat i'm not too sure about getting one as i have heard they are only wild caught and i don't want to buy any that are. Butterfly is the closest ill get to an arrowana and elephant nose fish look so unique so i think ill just drop the Dat. Are there less aggressive Dats we can get in New Zealand? Or is the a similar large fish that isn't as aggressive? How are the Eheims better? I already have one cf1200 but i don't mind paying a little extra for an eheim if it will make a large difference. Thanks for the reply

Have got a list of the fish i have considered and put through a fish compatibility website in regards to tank size and tank mates. I'm not sure how reliable it is. Will be running to aqua one cf1200 as filtration. Fish: 1 x Delhezi Bichir (Polypterus delhezi) 1 x African Butterfly Fish (Pantodon buchholzi) 1 x Siamese Tigerfish (Datnioides polota) 1 x Elephantnose Fish (Gnathonemus petersii) 1 x Banjo Catfish (Bunocephalus coracoideus) 1 x Banded Leporinus (Leporinus fasciatus) 1 x Silver Prochilodus (Semaprochilodus taeniurus)

Hi All I am now able to set up a 400 litre tank that is 135 x 60 x 50 and was wondering what to stock it with. The only fish that i am set on getting is a delhezi bichir and a butterfly fish. Other fish i have an interest in are leopard ctenopoma, banjo catfish, datnioide, striped leporinus and flag tails. Let me know if these are incompatible or need a larger tank. Are there any other fish that would be more suited to a tank this size with a delhezi bichir? I don't want any fish that are not captive bred. Thanks

If the temperature is to low that may have put it off eating. What temp is it at?

I whole heartedly agree with you there. People are a bigger problem than cats.

Ok thanks.

I have been noticing something strange with my blue tongue. He becomes active as soon as his UV light turns off, his heat lamp still is on when it turns off so the temperature does not change. I was wondering is he sensitive to light and does not like it? I know its not temperature related and his UV light is 30cm away from him so that brings me to my question, should my blue tongue have a less bright light etc?

My cousins mates mum loved axolotls and had a pond full of them aparently and some of them metamorphasised

They stop eating round this time even before, even if temps in the cage are right. Probably brumating as la said

What's the other 60% of it ?

Doc can get you in contact with a native reptile breeder.

You got part of the worm bit right! They also are really fatty so only treats.

experienced people saying so aswell as bioligists

I dont see why you would want a chameleon they dont do well in captivity and are very hard to keep and they become stressed easily :dunno:

yes they usually do.

get a chinchila :thup: . bearded dragons are more friendly than blue tongues

Twas 13 when I got my one and it was under my name
