  1. Thanks Caryl! Still after any larger varieties if anyone has any.
  2. Happy to pay for shipping of course.

    L046

    I know theyre around. A few (1-3) years ago they were brought in again from what I understand. I think the owners of L046s are relatively quiet about it due to the value and demand of the fish. I could be completely wrong though. I'm sure someone else will fill you in.
  4. A lot of fish won't start harassing others/show their true behavior until they're are a bit older. Just because you have had it in a community until now, and so has someone else DOES NOT mean that it will stay that way. Good examples are the Chinese algae eater and Black Ghost Knife. Being your age, I know you'll ignore all this advice, but I suggest you at least read up extensively about dwarf puffers and then make your own decision. "Aggressive." "Best kept alone or with smaller fast tank mates." "Otos are OK, slow moving fish will be nipped." "Not recommended for a community."
  5. Still, I'd be willing to put money on it that it will start killing them off one day. What kind of puffer is it?
  6. Not technically a family or anything, but I'm all about knife fish.
  7. Yeah. There are plenty of reminder apps out there. Google calendar will remind you every weekend to change the water. Google Keep can store when you add the fish. Easy.
  8. Can you please explain again what you want out of the app? I'm struggling to understand what you want besides a reminder for waterchanges
  9. Clown rasbora looks right up my alley. Are they readily available?
  10. They're an option, but I find they're still a bit... Standard. I know cost effective doesn't really go hand in hand with something a bit more uncommon, but still... I'm not prepared to spend $15 per schooling fish and get something like threadfin rainbows, but the basics are just too basic for me.
  11. I'm in the process of setting up a 300l pearl gourami / south eat Asian biotope. I'm after some interesting dither fish. My requirements are: Colour - I want something nice and colourful Interesting - I want something more interesting than say Harlequin rasbora Gourami friendly Cost effective I'd love a giant school of mosquito rasbora but they wouldn't survive.
  12. Really, all you need is a ~100l tank and power. I'll be moving flats and out of town over this time period so I won't have access to electricity for that time. There is 1 whip tail 3 cories 3 angels 2 festivum 2 chocolate cats 1 knife fish 1 banjo 1 pink tailed chalceus I'm not sure where else to look, I'm open to ideas.
  13. I'll throw in my 2 cents as well. I've had mine for a few months now. Works great. As mentioned, it is very slim. The unit itself feels well made which is always nice. As for the remote, it does feel a little plasticy, but hey, it works. It has (I think 8) preset colour variations. Each are based off white, so they're just different whites depending on how you like it and what you want to highlight. It also has 4 custom buttons, which you have to figure out how to use, because its not immediately obvious, but its not complicated at all. These are great for setting up night colours so you can watch your plecos, or knifefish (or what ever else nocturnal you have) come out and play. Something worth mentioning is that its great for a bedroom tank. You can lay in bed and watch your fish without having to get up to turn off the light. I find the strength of light a little low. Then again I am using the 36-48" model. It will hopefully keep some plants alive, but its by no means BRIGHT. Another thing worth mentioning is that the extender rods are really long, which means you shouldn't run into any trouble when it comes to reaching the edges of the tank.
  14. White worms work well too.
  15. I would like to preferably spray the inside of my canopy to protect it from all the moisture. Is there a brand anyone has used with success? Should any clear spray be fine?
  16. Cam at pet world made mine. John from Organism will give you someones card who makes good tanks too. I lost that card though...
  17. I've built a stand out of 2x4s and plywood which has all turned out great so far, but I fear that using plywood as a canopy it will eventually warp. Are there any heavier and cost efficient materials that can be used which will not look too different from the stand? I'm quite new to anything DIY, so I don't have a vast knowledge of what is available.
  18. David, where did you get your Current Satellite + unit from? Would the different voltage of american units cause a problem?
  19. Whats the price tag on one of those? Is it this? http://current-usa.com/aquarium-led-lig ... -led-plus/ I forgot to mention, I would like to keep this as cheap as possible (within reason), hence the DIY section.
  20. I would like to use LED lighting on my tank. For a few reasons, but mostly because I want to try it out. I will be building the canopy for tank soon (probably starting tomorrow), so I can make modifications if they are needed. I have searched quickly online, but I have no idea what I am looking for in terms of wattage, brands, etc. The tank will be mostly low light, but if I could have the option to switch between night, normal (low) and full on brightness that would be great, but I'm not 100% on how this would be achieved. Ideally, I'd like someone to point me in the right direction and perhaps share some problems they have encountered. After all my years of fish keeping, I'm still a novice when it comes to lighting, so I'm in need of help. :cr3:
  21. Sound straight forward enough. Any advice for time in the sun? Are we talking a week or months?
