Hi and welcome Ash. Several of us are in the chat room most nights by 9.30pm. Some of us have kept axolotls too and Dennis is waiting for some to hatch at the moment.

Gorgeous! Well done. No wonder you are excited you've done a good job.

Pictures never do the real thing justice. I have seen pics of pies tank for instance and thought it looked great but it was nothing compared to seeing the real thing. Looking forward to visiting Layton to see his tank in a couple of weeks if we are able to arrange it. Nice pics jackjackjack, thanks for sharing.

Not necessarily doc as she said they decided to get a tank about a year ago, she didn't say they actually got it a year ago. And they have only had the fish 6 hours.

Why use ammolock if you don't have ammonia? Why use it at all for that matter? I understood that stuff mucked up test results. Clowns like good water quality but it may be just one clown with a problem and not the whole tank.

I would buy some more fish but put the fighter in a tank by himself.
-
Welcome to you both. Discus aren't the best fish to begin with but I hope all goes well. Echoing Matt, what size is the tank? Had you cycled it before adding the fish?
-
I wonder if duckweed, Lemna minor, would work as well then?
-
That looks like an interesting idea. You could also use a half coconut or similar and hook it over the top edge of the tank with wire. Make shelves using plastic siliconed to the sides (you would need to drop the water level while you did it and it cured of course) and silicone gravel or sand to them.

3 cheers for Janey!!! :lol:

All you can do is give them a go and see. Some oscars are worse than others and you may find some plants (or their positions) will be left alone. Then again... :lol: I remembr one of our members having oscars and a tank with a large piece of driftwood, Java and vallis and the oscars weren't taking any notice of the plants. They were only half size fish at the time so perhaps they don't attack plants until they are older.

It is not so good to mix tropical and cold water fish like that unless they are fancy goldfish and the temp is not too high. What sort of filter was always clogging up before you put in the under gravels? Generally speaking, under gravels and goldfish don't mix cos they rummage through the substrate and when biggre can expose the filter plates. Perhaps your fur is also clogging things a little unhappy and wet ferret

I like a dark blue (RGB 0, 51, 204) myself and spray painting the outside is easiest.
-
My African tank is full of red algae - no plants to compete with. It looks nice so I leave it alone, just wiping it off the front glass so I can see the fishes.
-
I don't think there is a large demand for feeder guppies ballistic. Those with large carnivorous fishes may want them but only as an occasional treat rather than a daily diet. I might be wrong though
-
The shells should work fins

Put it in a plastic bag (seal well) then a tall thin cardboard box or map tube.
-
Really?? She will have been chuffed to meet another member from in here. Good to hear she is making the most of her time up your way.
-
So why didn't she buy the biggest?
