parctially burying your bottom rocks in the sand will help stop the rocks from tumbling if the fish do decide to dig round the bottom of your pile

ouch. been watching this thread. can't add anything helpful sorry. Just such a shame about the pictus... they is awesome fish. not the cheapest either

Done :dnc1:

:dnc1: are you going to send that in? please do

Blind cave tetra's are pretty cool. swim all over the tank too

there aren't many farmers out there that apply more then what is needed now days.. regional councils test water ways and the likes. anyway now that we know how much is to much to put on the land its just plain silly for farmers to put on excess as it hurts their wallet.. science has come a long way to stop this. years gone past build up could contribute but not todays farmers (or at least the smart ones)... sorry :smot:

!drool: Beautiful little creatures

awesome work

looks awesome. just out of curiousity what does a build of this size cost?

i've found if you take the cover off the bulb on those lights it makes it quite a bit brighter. mind you the conver on the one i had was quite cloudy looking. as long as no water can splah up at it

So i brought a chocolate talking catfish he is quite large I wanna see your biggest chocolate talking Will post pics soon

:spop:

Ok. so the guy i got from the lfs might not actually be a proper pictus? looks the same as the ones on the net.. if i were to get a decent pic would you be able to tell?

Ok so i just re goggled them and yes you're right they prefer to be in groups. so i will look at getting another couple when we go to chch at the end of the month. hopefully they be a lot cheaper up there.

I would love that but considering they can grow to 30 cm i'd need to enlarge the tank quite quickly. Plus they are $72 each at the lfs

I finally got myself a small pictus catfish a couple of weeks ago. he's not more then about 8 cm. i'm after another bottom dwelling catfish that i can keep with him. i don't want a chocolate talking, a port hoplow or an upsidedown catfish. Nor do i want anything that i have to keep i schools. Ofcourse it has to grow big enough not to be eaten by him when he gets bigger. I was thinking of a Virculated Synodontis (excuse my spelling). i saw these on the fish list for hwff mt roskil and googled it and they a awesome looking fish. Any other thoughts? cheers

Are angels too big for you? they a sure fire hit to eat guppies.

:cophot: !drool: what other fish do you have in with him?

So tempting of turning my 215 litre for just convicts aewsome creatures indeed :dnc1: katie

unforuantly i don't have acess to oxygen so is that my next best bet?
