good point, but i was more thinking is there things that are poisions in general insteed of having to do a trial and error type thing

yeh that empress is nice :nfs: all round

Good plan :thup: I regret selling a young group of fronts and not buying a snowball pleco when I was in chch last

I will clearafy that. no feeding chocolate to dogs thing. :thup: Would dog actualy be that bad for a cichlid?

First hand experience or web reference?

what they dont know won't hurt them

Can anyone please tell me of some absolute no no foods for africans. Im talking like the whole no chocolate food dogs type of thing. Anything from first hand knowledge or websites will be helpful.

wow that is an impresive rack and build thread. Some very very cool gear in that room

did you let him in for coffee and cake?

how about manualy pulling them out, and feeding less.

i do a 50% per week straight out with one hose straight in with another I dont think I dont recall ever having an issue

the others should be able to give the jewels a good run I would suspect. and you would hope they would learn not to go near there breeding pit

+1 Much easyer that way

looks good, I like the way the heater sits in that box out of the way. very good design

:sml1: :sml1: :sml1: :sml1:

thats a way cool set up

I generally hate one dirceton, beiber and the such but appartly it is still "music" I beg to differ

Not sure how old the tubes are. they could be months old they may have just been replaced before I got the unit. so t8 6500k/cool daylight would be a good replacment tube if I go to change them? The tank is starting from scratch, I am slowly getting the plants and stock I want as opposed to buying it all and throwing it all in at the same time or near time

I am not to worried on how fast they grow, I just want them to grow, time isnt a issue. Looked at using a moss, but I dont really like the look of it. So thought I would find an alternative. ofcourse if I cant find an alternative moss maybe the answer. Lighting is currently a double bulbed Aqua one 60 cm( sam size as tank) with 2x Marine White FMW-18 bulbs that came with the light. I would be willing to upgrade bulbs to get a better result if required or if its not stupidly expensive

would depend on the size of the tank, I would suspect

should probably add to it, low tech lighting, diy CO2, rootballs underneath. tank small around 100 Ltrs, but very low bout 250mm roughly high. and I will be dosing with some liquid ferts, just havnt worked out what yet

I am looking at doing a bit of aquascaping for the first time. I have an idea in my head and for a change im not going in full guns a blazing. I am looking at getting something to cover a patch on the bottom of the tank and also something to cover soom wood in think patchs. would Riccia fluitans be the way to go to achive this on the wood? and would Glossostigma elantinoides do the job on the ground? can they both be grown on ground and wood? and last of all peoples first hand expericnces on both of these plants as far as ease of use, care ect. I am looking at the plant profile section rite now btw. thanks all

Mines not, she leraned from an early age if she didnt eat what i feed her she wouldnt get anything else or she would have to catch her own. not shes gets the cheapest of all foods I can find with the occasional bird

I had never seen it before. It reminded me of the 4x4 ham slices you can get from the stupid market, except more salty

yip, corned beef is good the same can not be said for spam
