It works beacause the whole rice paddy acts as a natural filter and the all the water is connected (It sounds dumb .....) the anabantiods use their labyrinth organ to breathe the atmospheric air http://www.bubblenest.net/betta_anatomy2.jpg hehe the siamese fighting pistol shrimp sounds intersting :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

It's fine for fighters, as long as they have large daily water changes(preferably 100%) and exercise though things like flaring they will live in jars happily. people often use even smaller containers that that and still manage to breed some very good and healthy fighters Have you noticed that most people that breed smaller fish(like killies) don't actually use filters? Water changes are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than a filter

There should be 30 carriages!!! :bounce: that cake is making me hungry now...

I see why he was hiding now lol, photo shy he definitely seemed to like that bit of wood though

Awesome is there anything in the bottom of the pond/lake? from the first pic it doesn't look like theres anything... Any chance you could get some pics of the turtles as well

sounds like you had a real fun day at work... lol my day consisted of being really hot, I'm thinking its starting to be summer now

Everything that you're doing at the moment sounds fine, how much water are you changing with each waterchange?

We almost left with a few blue tounges as well!! :roll: lol tut tut LA, you did not tell me that , although it shouldn't be a problem i'll go chuck some more veges in there for them now, they have already eaten quite a bit of carrot between them lol

thats why I got a male and a female remember lol they are eating pellets and carrots atm seem to skitter away whenever you get too close lol

Welcome to the forums :bounce: if you do get khuli loaches try getting a few and they wont hide as much

Currently Indoors, but eventually out, not sure of their age but still quite young both will snuggle into one hand but the male is a bit larger will have to ask LA about the age (unless he sees this )

Went to the BFRC meeting on Sunday at Living Arts, ended up coming home with two new friends The boys on the right Their Colouring The girl The boy is called squiggles(King Squiggles the 1st ehrm cough cough) and the girl is called maisy as they are called by my sister as their her christmas prezzie There also very quiet due to lots of handling and will happily sit in there hand as well due to still being bubbas(/being small)

$109 is a good price compared to some of the other filters (fluval/ehiem) but I have no exp with sun sun canisters

I have some that could be called these:http://guppywiki.guppies.com/index.php/Golden_Moscow got them from the pet shop and their yellow bit on their tails seems to come and go as they please

room

No need for a substrate would just make it harder to get the gunk out yes about the cats!!!, although some dont seem to do it (1 of our 5 cats seems to like the taste of big orandas )they don't catch comets though only fantails when they start to spawn you can buy electronic water squirters(senses movement) from petshops kind of expensive though, or you can: -make a ring of large rocks 10cm+ at the waters edge to stop them getting in -lots of plants -a ring of netting around the pond -or a lower water level

flower 1 flower 2 EDIT: got some more but need the disk for the camera to get them on to this comp

Got some new babys today :bounce: , nowhere near as many (around 30) not sure whats wrong with my fish now lol, seem to do it whenever its going to rain....

they should both be fine, comets seem to like more room to swim around in as the get older and bigger (they can swim very fast when they want to) pom poms would be fine as well, we have some very nice orandas in our pond goldfish are very messy in regards to pooping a filter would help a little with this and would also keep it from becoming stagnant try to stick quite a bit of plants in it as well and lightly stock it for the tank shove lots of plants in it then let them do there thing with weekly Waterchanges http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=40923&start=15 <-got some pics of them there
