are all that corrupt nowdays??? my bosses 8year old grandkid told me off for looking at dirty pictures today when I was showing it to my boss.

is it just me or does moro have heaps less caramel than it used to???

strangely enough went down to the marina the other day and billions and billions of 2mm- 3mm long shrimp everywhere, could pick up handfuls out of the water. maybe its a seasonal thing....

I have 3 left at work. awesome little fish. I'd do a PWC (25-50%) and wait a couple of days.

thought so, only gonna play with one thing at a time. lotsa them down there as well

about 5-6cm, the big one is Fatso and the small one skinzo Fatso has learnt to beg like a dog for food

not a bridled goby. you coulda seen it for yourself if you had made it to my presentation at the club meeting :sage:

interesting, just found out that the Jewel anemones are closer related to corals than anemones also does anyone know if Tomato anemones are similar to keep to jewels or different again. btw they are currently happily devouring the left over Tuatua mince that was too small for the gobies

Purdy pichares you have a talent dude.

never say that, you always have to go bigger!!!!, but don't neglect the small tank, try something a bit different i.e. planted dwarf puffer/licorice gourami tank if the water is a greyish coour then it is just a bacterial bloom and will clear up once the filter settles down a bit, if its reen then its an algae bloom and will settle down with a black out. or it could just be left over "dust" from the gravel and filling process. yeah tannins make the water look like pee to some people. I like it if done right, looks like a natural slow moving forest stream or pool. Cambodian black water biotope tank (but looks like some of the streams I frequent) don't forget that it takes a LOT more tannins to stain 200L of water than 20L so it shouldn't be a problem. the gourami will eventually grow to around 15cm.

not bridled gobies, Favonigobius sp. most literature states that it should be exquisitus, but tbh im not too sure on that ID as of yet. if you look at the back left there is a sand anemone as well everything except the Jewel anemone was collected from the waterfront in buretta (straight off Kulim park) at low tide in the eel grass flats. The jewels were collected from the marina by the harbour bridge (seriously go for a look, that place has as much if not more life than around the mount, and probably a few "unwanteds" as well due to the boaT traffic. just stick your head over the side.) might sneak in for a snorkel once the water gets a bit warmer.

lol, thats why you get lots, cool tank mates VERY good live food

*Blue :sage:

bubble wall is fine as long as the eggs dont get exposed to the air. I'd avoid a powerhead as the babies may get sucked into it

I liked the link on the side http://youtu.be/N8fwtkC5UJU

Love the leopard fish, Mine have just dropped their thrird spawn so im gonna have to get a new tank to help them grow out quicker (approximately 45-50 babies atm in a 45L tank )

if they are developing well, then I wouldn't bother too much with anything, if you are worried though, add a few drops of Meth blue, just enough to colour the water a bit. and keep a fair amount of current running past them (if using an airstone don't let the bubbles touch the eggs)

any tips on keeping and feeding them???

it took me 10 minutes to see the dolphins.

also if you state your location someone locally might be able to provide you with some live filter media to speed up the process. or you could just steal the media from your current filter to seed it.

Well done on the upgrade. unfortunately a lot of big plecos end up in tiny tanks. have heard this about the AR980 filters, mine is silent though strangely enough. if you go for a canister filter you may have to do a few minor modifications to the tank to fit in the pipes. being a 212L tank 700-1000LPH should be fine. its very hard to over a tank, it just turns into extra space normally. The tank will begin to cycle while cold, but since i prefer live fish cycles then a heater would be preferable (plus gets rid of the waiting) until then you'll need to be adding some form of ammonia to get the bacteria starting. easiest way is to add a small amount of food every day until your heater arrives, test your water for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates then add some of your fish. tbh just the 5 black neons would probably be too light a load for the ammonia to get to dangerous levels anyways. btw what kind of gourami is it???, gold honey gourami = small species, Golden Gourami = needed a new tank as well. if your worried about the driftwood tannins you could try boiling them, or just flick some activated carbon into your filter. they are normally harmless and personally I quite like the look of them in certain situations.

slightly disturbing in an extremely well thought out way.

its ambulia, shine a torch at it from across the room and it will grow dense

well said sophia. this one is pretty cool
