  1. I would, they do like hiding in current flow. i always add a couple of algae rocks for mine, dont think its neccesary but they are cute scooting around on it
  2. with commercial prawns in aussie it was tip of rostrum to tip of tail
  3. you forgot man flu, thats an emotion
  4. I would assume so, unless you live in an area with spraying going on or heavy pollution
  5. depends on the brand but i found ceramic is around 20,000 square feet per gallon and Sintered glass around 40,000 - 50,000 sq ft per gallon (I hate imperial measurements), plastic bio balls are only around 20 - 30 sq ft per gallon also there is talk that sintered glass can help reduce nitrates as well (im assuming they mean in marine tanks with anaerobic bacteria)
  6. hi, yes we have not been able to concieve due to the fact that we eat our infants, will you lease fertilise me i think CYFs would have a problem with that :sml1:
  7. I always just used a large nylon scoop net with a few marbles in the bottom to weigh it down over a bare glass tank with a sponge filter, ugly but effective, move the net every day so eggs are evenly scattedered and fish waste does not pool over them. then lots of meth blue
  8. what? no room for more tanks??, remove the bed and learn to sleep standing up, great for your back
  9. or some form of danio. if your tank too small for a school of golden barbs, it is too small for swordies which will grow to 12cm, the mollies will also get to 11cm
  10. hell yeah, carbon is an expensive waste of time imo. spend the extra to get the higher quality sintered glass stuff, the surface area for bacteria is astronomical
  11. i use tank water as it normally has some nitrates in it, you can use tap water but it takes longer. when I was breeding I just put them on a ledge at the top of my infusoria/mosquite larvae culture
  12. you can put a couple of rocks in aquarium water in icecream containers and leave them in the sun for a few days. my parva loves me for it
  13. what damage has been done?
  14. are those a different species?, or just fully grown girls?
  15. second that mate had a 30cm specimen called psycho, well deserved name
  16. pantadons are cool fish, had a couple here for a while. they are good jumpers so need a tight lid. my choices would be Black ghost knife fish and an albino senegalus bichir
  17. unfortunately perch are on the naughty list as well, and yes they are tasty (taste like gurnard) If you used a heater you could do convicts, they would grow fast, produce heaps of waste for the plants and they should taste ok I know synspillums taste good (dont ask, it included a bbq and beer)
  18. try some golden barbs as dither fish, i've never seen them hide
  19. can someone please explain why "natural" colours, flavouring etc.... is considered healthy and artificial is considered unhealthy, yet Sugar (natural) is considered more unhealthy than artificial sweeteners which were originally a chemical waste product
