:an!gry Damn it just got home to see my big ornate with both eyes seem to be blind...(dull and red looking, not normal)it was act strang in a couple of day now, not hiding in driftwood, I thg the Midas are flushing him out due to sprawnning...water change was done in 4 day ago as well.. This is not good Iam too wasted to do A big water change or something.. :facepalm:

U would want a nice clear plastic try/bin For fighter they don't really need a big volume of water.. I use those tower drawer for sump, one of those drawer would do u well.

Fish bin are good PVC plastic, don't waste your time on trademe for small finding like that.. Check out the warehouse or any bunning warehouse they sure have plenty waiting for you. :thup:

!drool: !drool: this what happen when I don't have sky!! :an!gry

Jeees Guys after all these infos I getting weary of my central American cichlids setup.. :slfg: Iam abit lucky on short stock and going for hybrid only..any great advise please on how to cross breed?? This could be never ending story..

A real Red Midas would brighten up the themes.. Ebjd.. That what I want for xmas.. :slfg: :slfg:

Congrat and welcome to the big tank lover thing Jasonnz :thup: Why?? and what up with these wooden stand bro?? to me you have spent twice the $$ over a 50mmx50mm Glav pipes... if you go with the metal stand, you wouldnt have to worries about bracing/rotten, and to achieve wooden grain looked you can alway screw wood panel/Meltecapanel to metal stand bro.. :thup: Poly sheet? i would grab 4 panels ready to silcone surrounding for good heat insulation to help the vol of heated water.. I didnt do my so no oportunity do it anymore.. :facepalm: Im guessing you got Greg to driledl a couple of holes in tank for future sumping?? If i get oprotunity to do my tank again i would chosen side overflow instead of bottom overflow drilled.. :smln: with the size of tank it would be better to sump it..It ok to do tiny fish with fx5 i think, but one of those day if you decide to change your mind into monster fish keeping, then a fx5 wouldnt handle heavy stock.. :happy2: My tank is 900mm height, I attached a bamboo stick to my gravel syhpon when i clean my tank :happy2: Good on You Jasonnz, enjoy your hard working tank, Its feel great to own a big tank.. :happy1:

omg..i wonder if they got manufacture contact info.. :slfg:

Hi, great project you are getting into..but a small advised, there are no real profit in breeding and selling fish.. I am currently setting up a breeding room too, i got 32mm hole drilled on tank..32mm drainage pipe should do the trick..

:slfg: :slfg: police dont carried gun some guy in here do..

This sound very familiar" I said to my wife "is the fish who want to sleep with me.. :sage: OMG the forum is backkkkkkkkkk :happy1: Thank to those who's got it kicking again :thup: Regards, Jack

yeah pick up 6 tank from Andrew, just finished plumbing..now planning to make stower draw sump.. it going to be mean azz.. i will try to pops some pics when i figure out how to import pics from my new iphone..

Well well agro fish lover.. I cant not resist myself of not having a pice of that cake.. !drool: I did grab 3 babies..one are real small must be a female.. and the other too are growing quick with good electric blue colour.. iam near to finish setting up my new hybrid breeding room..so these flowerforn baby are going to get some good treat from me soon :happy1:

Really?? heater are one of main souce of a fish tank..you turn it off in this winter season?? if only we have a simple solar heater for fish tank that would help reduce power alot.. pump filter are not very expensive to run at all..

I got 3 real Piranhas.. :thup: but they are dead and dried.. if you still keen to buy them then i can arange. :thup:

:slfg: :slfg: my guess for you was right about you getting Tetras.. you could store tetras for future cichlids feeding..

:thup: Thank You

jeess if only MAF allowed people to take live koi Carp home i woudnt mind try swimming with a pool full of koi" :digH:

oh-la-la.. mathieu_sabas, NZ is a great country to live and plenty of native speices.. just to remeber dont reel up a koi carp..its a very forceful decision to make... :slfg: weee"..FX5 is a great filter and iam sure there are a fews guy in here are wanting to pick it up at good price too.. :thup:

Bro as long as he the top dog in this tank he will reach his size easy.. dont introduce other cichlids in there to stune his grow.. :digH:

Hey Guy i seeking to set up a few tank, and running them on air filter" instead of buying a couple of 4way air pumps, what others single pump unit out there than could crank up a muliti out put? :dunno:

:slfg: Iam not going into details regards to the Africans as i know you love them so much... hey sir how do i get a hold of last year calendar off you? :thup: and yes that fish David R show pics is one of the baby of the star fish.

I agree with that statement Ira, there a say " What come around, go around" Pure Red devil or MIdas are so rear to find these day at LFS, As David R pop the link, and i knowing that some people cant acceptant this fish is not a hybrid.. To all the Cowboys and Indian in this hobby, who can truely tell that the fish is a pure breed line. Midas/Devil or hybrid whatever given to us here we just have to live with it. A decline in this speices to me would be a great lose in this hobby.

:facepalm: :facepalm: Iam guessing you not going to give up the Festae to me.. :slfg: What ever direction we all heading, I wish you guys all the best to produce an ultimate species that bring enjoyable fish in NZ, "hey other countries have them, so why cant and why not, we NZ have them here too..(Red Texas) but to keep in minds not to overpopulating it and to keeping it under control.. :thup:
