:iag: . Temperature variations are normal and the temperature of the room will add to the variables. Slow drops and rises throughout a 24 hour cycle are nothing to worry about and the fish won't mind. Now you have raised the overall temperature all should be within "normal" limits.

One I like is The Aquarium Plant Handbook published by Oriental Aquarium Pte Ltd, Singapore. http://www.amazon.com/Aquarium-Plant-Ha ... B000OGSDO0 or free Torrent download here The font used for the index is dreadful and page numbers hard to read as too small and hard to read on top of graphics but the info and pictures are good.

I remember flying with an ice cream container with 2 axolotls in it. The air hostess (as they were called in those days) was most interested but kept her distance. My sister flew Blenheim - Wgtn - Hamilton with 3 large cooler bags of fish for me. Stupid rules now :an!gry

Congratulations to our new office holders and thank you for offering your time and expertise for what is often a frustrating and thankless task! :bounce:

Nice tank Rey. Welcome to New Zealand :-)

As I understand it they wreak havoc in the wild and would out-compete natives and other fish for food and possibly destroy plants as well.

You've heard of catfish and dogfish haven't you? These are parrotfish ;-) -
What do you mean? It was already on the list :-?

Need a list of easy to grow plants in gravel/pebble tank
Caryl replied to keyboardwarrior2015's topic in Aquatic Plants
You need at least 2" (5cm) for planting over undergravel filters. -
He says he could help (not sure if he means both the tanks and frogs or just the frog minding, as his partner has frogs too). Send me a PM with your phone number and I will pass it on to him so he can ring you to discuss details.

I have a son (who has fish) in Belfast. I will ask him.

Need a list of easy to grow plants in gravel/pebble tank
Caryl replied to keyboardwarrior2015's topic in Aquatic Plants
Most of the cheap ones sold in shops. The trick is to make sure the substrate has enough depth for the roots and the plants you choose have a good root system. I have way too much red rotala and it is growing in ordinary aquarium gravel. -
You are referring to Larnce Witchman I assume, from Burkhart Fisheries (Top of the South Conference 2008) Alan? His hints were; - 24g/litre salt/water - 1gm/L cysts (there's approx 5g per level teaspoon) - Good aeration required but not enough to cause surface to foam - Airstone not needed, just air line - 28C is optimum temperature

What part of ChCh?

Welcome.
-
Fingers crossed they both do well. Good looking fish.
-
In that case, buy another tank. You can never have too many tanks ;-)
-
Pick one and keep your fingers crossed 8) Our Fujitsu is so quiet we can't hear it. The Carrier is dreadful and very noisy (and unfortunately in our bedroom). Can't comment on ducting as ours are not ducted but we hope to do something similar from our lounge with a pellet fire that heats open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen.

Under gravel filters work very well but need to sit flat on the tank base with the substrate on top. You can't have fine substrate, like sand, as it gets sucked through. You also need at least 5cm of substrate on top of the filter plate if you wish to successfully grow plants. I would use UGFs in a small tank, up to around 60cm wide but not on larger tanks unless I also had supplementary filtering, or several outlets along the plates.

They will see them as food. A fry tank would be good (do not use a breeding trap) or just get a lot of fine leaved plants (Java moss, cabomba, ambulia etc) for the fry to hide in. Remember, they reproduce so quickly you will not want to save all the fry each spawning or you will quickly be over-run!

MAC will not have one as we do not have meetings and would not get a quorum.

Welcome to the forum. You need to put an aquarium in your car and combine both hobbies ;-)
