MY elephant nose arrived!! >.< He's guna chill in an 80lt until his tank is cycled and warm.

Wow it looks really neat!

How about get the minnow some bros, or some leopardfish? They're pretty neat.

Thank you Sophia Ohhh holding the plants down with rocks sounds like a premo idea. Hahaha and have a whole bunch of wood, but the opening is small at the top so have to find some that will fit through that before I get any Snowballs >.< Pantadons are a pretty bad ass fish, and their mouth is MUCH larger than you think.. Especially with 3! 3 mini arowana in disguise.. I'll wait until I get the wood and more plants before getting the Eel.. I had bigger rocks too but they also don't fit./ Water's in.. :bounce:

Put some sand and schist.. Glosso, dwarf hair grass, 2 crypts and some sort of sword? Just filling it now >.<

Yes.. good point.. I just love 'em.. But planted tank trumps eel I think. I might figure out photos and upload my progress too

Thank you lol I don't want to put guppies in that tank.. This is supposed to be an impressive tank Guppies can stay in their guppy tank. I just like good looking little ones in schools and I know they will be eaten.. Yes I miss my snowballs.. How about a Peacock Eel? <3 they're pretty neat but my last one died, I think because he was SO DIFFICULT to feed.. I'd plan even more. I've read a couple times that in captivity they generally only reach around 15 cm. What do you all think about that?

Heyy so have a 4ft to set up, I'm thinking an Elephant nose (already on order), 3 Pantadons and an Eel(suggestions please)? Couple of Nice Plecos, thinking Snowball atm just because I used to have a couple and enjoyed them thoroughly.. But I'll need to see what's around. I've got some driftwood, schist stones and a couple of massive rocks I will put in there, sand and smaller schist (or no schist rocks for the Eel?) will make up the substrate, I want it to be planted.. Dog ate my fert yesterday so need some more of that before anything starts. I have a little wave maker and an Eheim Canister 2213. Can get back up. More fish? Or see any problems with these? Maybs just a big school of tetras/rasboras.. something everyone else can pick at at their will for food variation? Lol I moved this myself..? All good?

Sooo they were swimming round, all healthy looking, zipping and such, nice colour.. Fed them (granules).. Then maybe an hour later, one was dead on the bottom of the tank on the sand.. Still all healthy looking, nice colour.. except for the fact it was dead :fshi: Choked? :dno: Or some ninja, symptomless killer virus that's now in the tank? PS, got them a couple days ago, didn't quarantine, but they had a feed on bloodworms their first night.. Come to think of it, one did 'tick' a bit that night? Same one?

Landscape supply stores are as fun as the fish shop >.< go check out the different rocks from different parts of the country sorted into different sizes, all the way from boulders down to sand! Then there's the driftwood.. :nilly: If I'm looking for inspiration, that's where I go.

Oh! Ditto?

A super King duvet? I just don't want to do it if it's probably going to break no matter what.

Soooo! I wana buy a 6ft tank for sale in Auckland! I live in Hamilton.. What do you reckon about transport? >.< Trailer and 2 X bits of 4x2 underneath to carry it? Any tips? Should I put it on poly in the trailer maybe?

I see.. Thank you. Alright, well I really love the puffers and their tank, so s/he might need to move to a tub. He's still in the Asian tank for now. I have a 54lt black tub I could chuck him and a sponge filter in when needs must, after I get yet another heater off TM, lol bucket's full of Daphnia on the porch at the minute. Don't forget.. Free to good home.
