  1. When I had golden bell frogs they kept eating each other, it was soo sad Like Alan said best to keep them separate
  2. @Joe: Ooh Ember tetras would look awesome! I didnt even think fish grew that small! Ill definitely check around the local shops and see if they have any or can order some in.. Im not that good with plants, but Ill definitely give it a go! planted tanks look way more awesome @Josh: Hehe maybe if I get a bigger tank someday... Still in school so I dont want to set up anything too permanent
  3. I know its not really necessary for a sump, but you guessed right; Im more interested in building the sump than it actually being necessary It gives me something to do, something to look forward to in life. Thanks about the info though! Ill definitely consider it when setting things up
  4. UPDATE: Ive ordered the substrates I need, they should come saturday-monday The main things left now are the powerhead and bio ball container(not sure where Im going to get this from...) I went to Animates today(pain in the ass to go by bus) and they had some wonderful long finned danios so I think I will get around 10 of those, maybe a few panda cory's. They are sooo cute! But the danios are a bit expensive... $14ea, Ill have to look around the garage to sell something If someone has any advice about my sump I would really appreciate it
  5. I meant Animates hehe Basically where the built in filter sucks water Im going to put a tube into the wet/dry filter and then a return tube back into the built in filter where I will put activated carbon tell me what you guys think! Ah thats sucks! I would have loved a pictus <3 EDIT: Also planning on putting in one 200W heater in the sump, maybe two if one is not enough :]
  6. It wont matter if its just a few. I was meaning that when they hatched you may have a problem. When I had frogs I decided to try hatching some dragonflies, except then one morning I wake up to around 10 buzzing in the tank and the frogs didn't even eat them Then when I went to get them out they escaped! My cockatiel got a real fright >.> Same thing goes for mozzies they can be a real pain because they're harder to see. In general if you keep a lid on it you should be fine, mozzies cant get in and lay the eggs and hatchings cant get out, everyone wins, and hopefully you don't wake up with bites all over you! Another thing is to make sure is that you don't get the giant dragonfly larvae. Ive seen ones with a 15cm wingspan! beautiful insects :] Anyway, I'm no expert so don't take me too seriously
  7. Yoah! Cool tank! I'd be careful about adding too much dragonfly/damselfly larvae, or just keep watch for when they decide to hatch/molt(I'm not sure what its called..). You may consider adding some shrimp or small crayfish, but these are from streams so I don't know if you'll want to ruin the 'look' Good Luck with this set up it looks really cool right now!
  8. Hey guys, Im re-doing my 90L tank as I haven't payed any proper attention to it ever. I got it when I was 12 so I just figured put in water, wait for a few weeks, buy fish clean off algae. Imagine my wonder when all my fish kept dying(and kept on dying) the longest fish that ever lived were a group of 5 harlequin rasboras and 5 odessa barbs. Anyway, I'm setting up a wet/dry trickle filter right now in a 10-20L aquarium. I have the design ready now I just have to buy the components. A couple of questions: Should I put in an under gravel filter? Can I squeeze in a Discus or two? What fish combos can be done? I'm particularly fond of harlequin rasboras and pictus catfish(Pimelodus pictus) but I don't know what other tank mates can go with them... Really any advice about fish would be great
