I think it says on the box Caper. Somewhere it has "equivalent to 100w" etc.
-
Some tetras like to chase the guppy tails Caper - not the neons though
-
That is a lot of fish for a new tank. This brown outbreak is normal in a new tank and should settle down as the tank completes cycling and balances and the plants grow bigger.

Most councils have bylaws regarding the depth of the pond being built. 18" is the usual maximum (which is why the fibreglass and plastic ones you buy are so shallow) before any consents need to be sought but this varies from council to council. I have 2 baths sunk into my garden which, theoretically, should be fenced! In Marlborough, only 18" is too shallow as it gets too hot here unless you build in a shaded area.

Also, I would be wary of tetras with guppies (depending on which ones you are thinking of)
-
More what - Scooby snacks? :lol: Show us your plecs Z
-
rummy nose teras or harlequins

No (and, as you can see, I have all the stars so speak from experience) No T shirt fairy either

We used to have an octopus but rarely saw it as it was very small and hid in the sand. He escaped one day and was fluffed to death on the carpet

It is merely related to the number of posts made. PS. If you want to email me a pic of you in the shower madcookie I would be happy to grade you accordingly

Children, children stop this useless bickering at once!! :evil: Just to add my 2 cents worth, I have never lost a daphnia culture for inexplicable reasons and have had them continually for about 15 years now. I can get free brine shrimps and eggs 'cos I live near Lake Grassmere! Baby axolotls will not care about the nutritional value of their food so give them plenty and give them variety. No problem!

I do not breed goldfish but I understand they lay their eggs to stick to plants like the undersides of lily leaves. The male comes along behind and fertilises the eggs as they are laid. Eggs and fry will be eaten if kept in the same aquarium. They can interbreed as they are all just variants of the same type of fish.

Some plants don't like to be moved and to help them cope they will drop a lot of leaves to concentrate on a few. They should take off again. By the way I posted some rotala to you today

local fish shop

I too am a fan of ugf's but not on big tanks. I don't think it will be enough. A canister can be added later of course
-
Give it a good sniff caper. If you can't smell bleach then it should be OK.
-
Better to ask, what kind of fish do you like? The possibilites are endless! Do you prefer a few large fish or would you rather have a good sized shoal of faster moving small shoaling fish? Do you want a planted tank? Do you like lots of different fishes or would you prefer a single species only tank?

My son used to have them - ugly things - axolotls that is, not my lovely son :lol: We kept 2 in a 2ft tank with an ugf and fed it garden worms. To get them to turn into salamanders requires hormone injections I understand
-
I would assume any shop that stocked the Jebo would also be able to get the tubes.
-
Welcome chicken. You will find a large tank much easier to look after than the small ones

From the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Remade into a movie recently which has just been released. The Oompa Loompas are little orange people who work in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory

Put a sponge on the end of the filter pipe? Not sure what the filter looks like

What a good thing he only has a few to keep track of :lol:
