I have got the last pair coming to me next week.. :-D what else did you get from them?

wow...so good to see the lovely fish, and great to know there are apisto lovers around! I want to get back to them again now, but they are so hard to find here :-(. here is one of mine a year ago, think he is Steel Blue. They breed in my big tank and 3 babies still alive. unfortunately I lost the parent fish....

Hi all I would like to join a few pieces of driftwood together. They are quite small pieces so I can really use stainless steel screws. I knew some people use Superglue or Aron alpha AA glue( even used to attached plants to wood or stone), I think it should work for me. However I am not sure if it is really safe for use it fish tank? Others suggested silicon sealant . Has anyone come across this before? Thanks Terry

Thank you for the aboves. Is Kribs easier to keep than blue ramps?

Hi everone...it has been a long time :-) I have a 350L planted tank with 8 discus fish and a few other small fish in. I am thinking of adding a few dwarf cichlids in. I am thinking of Blue ram or Kribs. I have kept blue rams before and they get on well with the discus. Since Kribs are easy to keep and breed, I would like to give it a go. Would the Kribs get on well with discus fish and blue ram? My pH is about 5.5-6.5 generally. Many thanks

Cheers. It took me a while to find the one:-D

Great tank......like to see discuss in it :-D

Great work, love the wood.....

Check out trademe, you should see one at $1500 tank+stand, this should be the 2 light tube model like mine. Hff have the 4 light tube model at a higher price, around $1800i think. For me, 2x54w is more than enough....

Thanks, I will look into it :-)

Well, Auckland does not have that many quake :-)

Great to know you enjoy the photo, thanks.

Ah...I have got some spare eheim bio max, maybe I will try to replace some plastic rings with it. I think they give you 2 layers of plastic rings might be because of they want to lower the cost. Not sure what type of anubias that is, got it from animate 4 years ago with only 4 leaf on

Thanks :-)

Finally move into the new home so can continue my fish keeping :-) My goal is to make my fish tank as part of the decoration at home, that was the main reason I have chosen Rio 300, it is nice looking and fit in with other furnitures. The main equipments are ： Juwel Roi 300 Tank + stand include 2x54w lights Eheim Pro 3 - 600 filter Eheim 300w heater 1x 3 w air pump Decoration： Black background Cedar fine gravel Driftwood Anubias Fish Discus x 6 Cadinal tetra x 20, GBA x3, blue ram x4, Jullie Cory x 2, guppy x 2 Rio 300 Tank + Stand, easy installation I really dont like internal filter so I took it out and use the Eheim Pro 3 instead Lights Clean driftwood wash gravel, I filter out the extra fine parts. This type of gravel has got lots of dust...so it took a lot of time to wash it,, Backgroud Put gravel in Tie the plant on drift wood using fishing line Eheim pro 3 - 600 filter includes all media, for tank up to 600L, max flow1250L/hr,16w, very very quite Media Physical media Boi + Physical Bio - media Now the most important part -cycling the filter. I used a 'fast' way coz I was in a hurry to move in. I put some boi noodles from my small temporary tank into the new filter so the bacteria is in the new filter straight away First day, still cloudy 2 days later, water is clear, tested for NH3 and NO2, put in some small fish Keep testing the water for a week, no NH3, NO2, and pH is dropping nicely Now putting in discus fish full view Julie Cory GBA Main fish - Discus They even bread in the tank but the fry is hard to survive. I bought 6 fish and it turn out to have 2 pairs end
