  1. I thought mystery snails were tropical? this is :smot: but cute
  2. what sort of tetra is it and what sort of loach?
  3. These sort of things will fit over the top of a 30cm tank without too much over hang. http://www.trademe.co.nz/pets-animals/fish/lights-lamps/auction-456996165.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/pets-animals/fish/lights-lamps/auction-457368032.htm After having had a clip on light for a year (?) on my small tank and then getting this sort of thing, I can say that I wouldn't go back to clip ons unless you are electrically/DIY minded enough to rig up something that runs the length of the tank with a decent wattage. With a clip on you don't get the light penetration to the bottom and to the corners so the only stuff that grows OK is very low light or stuff directly under the light. Clip on LED may work better than clip on fluoro type tubes but I found a solution in the above type of light instead.

    The What's Up? thread.

    We got there at about 630 and the food aisles were busy - usually we wander about choosing and then duck into a gap between the tables in the middle to eat. I don't find it too busy but the later you get there the busier it is, that's for sure
  5. I hope this is not turning into another argument thread :sage:

    it wasn't the tank moving, it was the haircut. They thought they had a new owner so were showing off
  9. I know.... if it were a swimming Cockatiel I could have left it there :gigl:
  10. nobody got into my boot but someone got up Cricketman's nose :gigl:
  11. AVG Free plus various spy bot, ad aware, microsoft firewall and bits we don't download stuff but have never had a virus except the flu :gigl:
  12. when I collected rainwater from the downpipe off the roof it was already brownish due to leaf matter etc, but it went stagnant after a week or 2. Is that sort of thing OK to use in a tank for fish that like soft water? I presume if it's with a filter it can't go stagnant ??
