Would love to be able to just order a couple or 5 tanks. :lar: looks awesome

We fatten calves on milk, meal and when they are weaned grass. I've never heard of using cooking oil. Can't imagine it's all that good for the calves. I certainly wouldn't think dairy heifer replacements would be "fattened" on it. Don't know what goes on in cantabury though :dunno:

Did it survive. Have found that seachem prime works good in conjunction with water change for high nitrate

What's your home made?

Frontosa then :facepalm:

Hey the wife wants to know what people out there are feeding there fronts

the dem yellow mix is really popular it seems. If I were you id be getting them young as I think its more rewarding watching them grow. got to have a big mob of Dems (10 as a minimum) as they are aggressive towards each other. I don't know how much filtration the standard stock filter will have but I would think you'd want to get an external canister filter as well as the more filtration the betting and the more fish you can keep.

Would u send them?

Wow . Your build is looking so much better then mine. Would be great to own my own place to be able to do something like that. Can't wait. To see the fish in there.

Hi Ryan How long will it be till the brown haps will be available for sale and how much would you want for them? Also do you have any of those albino zebras growing out that I have seen you selling on trademe? Thanks Ian

My electric blue jack dempsys have given me my 1st batch of fry at the moment they are wrigglers and have been for two days now. But momma is eating them can i put them in their own tank and grow them up my self or should i just put them in a breeding trap in the main tank. Also what's the best way to catch these guys they are spread out in my substrate

If I want to breed properly I'd seperate out the fish i want to breed. If there is cross breeding in this tank it would just be live food. I'm more intersted in a display tak ATM as aposed to breeding them Yes about the wood. The ph sits at seven ATM with the wood and I am currently doing a 50% water change once a week to try and combat the tanning being leaked by the wood. I hope what it do to raise the kh will combat the wood and we will find some happy medium.

The wood was cut in June and spent 5 months outside on the porch drying out the was put in a outside bath for a month. I figured by finishing the sinking process in the tank it would give the syno some good hiding spots. As for stocking I have always had a thing for fryier. The red anal fin ones. Yes I will get in touch with you Ryan about the brown haps, I was also thinking of getting some of the albino zebras i see you have for sale every now and then on trademe. I see there are some sulphur heads on trademe to. I will be doing some research on them. I was also thinking some Jacob males and (if I can find some) some red shoulder peacock males. If I do get a cf 2400 as well as the cf 2700 roughly how many fish would I be able to have comfortably in this tank? I have sand paper and will be spending some time sanding the edges of rocks :thup:

that's the only way to know for sure

as far as I know males have more black on the anal fin and the fin running along there back. dominant male can have a dirty looking face as well. all proper electric yellows should have fully yellow bodies should they not?
