I know I am being greedy... they were such a pretty pair.

Would be okay temporily though?

I have recently brought a breeding pair of kribs and have them in a 54l (will get bigger tank in a few months) I have just seen another breeding pair at a fish shop where I am on holiday (very cheap), which the fish shop are holding for me. My prob is that they have recently breed and the shop owner thinks they may have killed the other couple of fish in the tank. Is this common? Or would it not be a good idea to put them in with my other pair. No point buying one if they are going to kill the other. My other option is to temporarily put them in that tank and then give away my convicts and use that tank. Also the pair in the fish shop - their babies are 2 weeks old would they be okay on their own I thought they would be okay as there is nothing else in the tank. The owner wasnt sure. Am heading back tomorrow afternoon so hoping to make a decision tomorrow morning.

I have a heater that I think must be about a 50w in the 54L tank and its fine over summer but now I cant get it above 22 degrees so I am going to get a 100w as I just brought one for my other 54L and its working really well and doesnt even have a lid yet. Buying on TM as they are very cheap.

I was going to get it out the other day but in the end got The Hangover... fantastic movie, very funny. Was a much better choice.

People are having babies at that age... so way not fish...

Once a girl at the local fish shop insisted I needed a KH tester (KH can effect PH apparently)... well that was a waste of $62... so be careful with what shops recommend. Also sometimes its cheaper to let a sick fish die and buy a new one... I threw about $50 at a fish I paid $5 for once and it still died. I tell you these people see me coming. Good luck with your tank.

thanks

where? I am in Auckland too. Keen to get on that size and thats a great price.

Where in NZ are you...

Planning on getting some as soon as I can find another tank - looking for decent sized tank now... my biggest tank is 90L and its just not big enough.

Loving the updates. Do you find the rams easy to keep? Have only had platy fry so far and am waiting for my kribs to pair up (if they do) and am looking for something else to breed.

Interested in starting up a brine shrimp hatchery myself - how did you go about setting it up?

Im another fish addict on the shore. There heaps of us about. My prob is not shops selling me too many fish but me not being able to stop myself everytime I see a fish I like - hence a hunt for tank number 3 (And 4 if I had my way).

Have to possible options for bigger tank 90l and 160L on TM, so will see what they go for.
