did you drag the net through the weeds in the current? That's how I got my shrimp at that creek, not through 'fishing' for them in the little pools and eddies as I expected

how convenient that she had a white T shirt on.... :yaw2:

Plants will help the cycling eventually by sucking up nitrate, so chuck em all in There are a number of ways to start, I tend to fill it up part way like you suggest, add plants and then fill it up further. Some have planted them out dry in the soil but kept them moist (bit too complicated for me) and some just fill up the tank and then add the plants. It's certainly easier to see how they are going to stand in the water if there is enough to cover them. You just have to be a bit careful so as not to stir the bottom up too much when planting.

Why can't something be done about the bullying? Is there such a thing as restraining orders for young people? If I didn't know better I'd write to the school myself but it's not my place to do that and it makes me so mad! :an!gry

works at home now too thanks

thanks, it works at work, will try it at home.

I use Eheim Pickup 2006, they are pretty small and the nozzle the current comes out of can be angled and made stronger/weaker.

:spop: stunning I think Liam also 'owes' us some photos of the Amazon.....

what colour is it?

have tried that in both Firefox and IE. I thought it might be the cookie blocker in Firefox stopping me but I've added the site to the exceptions and tried in IE where everything works, and no joy. It shouldn't be that hard! I still have my copy, I just wanted to snoop online

:sml2:

was it normal aquarium gravel or artificially coloured stuff like is often given away?

Can someone remind me why I can't read the magazine online? I log in through the members area and click to read it and it takes me back to the login page. Is it still a bug or am I doing something wrong?

have you tried pointing the outlet at the nearest wall of the tank? That cuts down a lot. also the further down in the water they are, the less current they appear to create.

I vote you keep going with it :thup: And if you don't, thank you for the inspiring and entertaining photos

if he's small enough to fit in Rocket's mouth he will eat him :digH:

sometimes it's hard to make sure the slow moving fish get a good dinner when they share with fast moving little fish. The little ones often dash in and grab the food. I often feed the smaller fish first at the top and while they're busy send some sinking stuff down to the bottom or slower feeders.

dark blues look good with bright fish too. nice tanks :nfs:

:love:

something else found around the house that would be interesting to see how you get the colours and lights bouncing off them - ice cubes

I like that the discus are different sizes, makes it more interesting yet still has the discus theme :thup:

cutie :love: looks like it's got a sharp beak though

yeah, I thought what a waste of a fish. I hope you black list them
