they maybe cute , but remeber hes still a con , make sure you keep you wallet on you

EVERYTHING

smudge spot cory nice, how many did you get?

i love him to, he is a stunner and he knows it to :facepalm: he shows off to the female cockatoo's haha and yeah it should look really good, the next 60 i get will be the gold head harilquins , just to mix it up

thanks

i plan on getting another 60 to bring it up to 120, and the apisto is a pretty boy always showing off

attempt at getting pic of harliquins :dunno: male aggazzi, with female cockatoo photo bombing full tank shot number 2 attempt to get all the harliquins in frame ( really hard when theere is 60 odd of them left side of tank wide shot of the left

i know , i know, ill upload some now

well thought id do an update of this tank before i switch it all into a larger 4ft tank, on a sad note lost my female long finned bristenose tonight ( unknown causes, water is fine, tanks is clean, all fish healthy) i will post pics tomoro night if i get a chance as lights are out now, but i tried tonight , it is nearly impossible to get a decent pic of the harliquins, and the female cockatoos are photo bombers, but apart from this fish most the plants are doing OK, not amazing as my co2 system has a leak somewhere, i think it maybe the regulator (up, brand) anyone know where to get them tested , or have a suggestion why a full 7.5kg bottle was used over 3 weeked when it was on 4 bubbles a second? (also having trouble keeping it at 4 bubbles per second , it keeps speeding up? ) thanks in advance

i have a garden shed insulated with 25mm poly, stays at 27, year round with 100watt heaters in each of the 14 tanks in there, and doesnt use that much extra power, probly 50-80 a month extra , maybe a bit more over winter

yes your right , nothing like my aggazzis

i know of someone who has a big one 45cm with a huge sail fin, but not for sale

WOW THATS A PLECO , i wish i could do a big tank with plecos like this

i feed jbl pleco chips, in combination with nova tabs , and im getting good growth from all the baby bristlenose im breeding

green water on a drip is always good for the first couple of days as they are to small for microworms and brimeshrimp

maybe some larger tetras or schooling fish , in a good size group, to add some activity to the tank

wow some teens dont know how good they have it, i have all those jobs plus more, and i feel thankfull that i dont have more , good job to that dad

yeah i think so , haha

exactly, im going to animates in manukau tomoro for a run through

problem with doing that with whiptails is, as soon as they hatch they scatter for safetly and hided, also they suck onto things which makes it hard to get the without hurting them

anyone want to come in and have a chat , just finished my water changes :dunno:

when they are nearly ready to hatch i lower the water level then scrap them off with a razor blade, and put them into a cut down milk bottle with holes i poked around all the sides with a hot fork, then i feed spiralina ? powder from the chemist, i found this works the best as they are "lazy eaters" and need force feeding when young

thats exactly right, haha there would be more decent ones around if we alll did that, sadly just a few will actually do that

how do you manage ??
