http://www.fish-street.com/resun_mini20_chiller Would it suit a 130 litre tank? Does it come with everything you to start cooling the tank? Cheers

My fish seem to like it but I don't keep cichlids.

Yes, you can. That is what I have done in my community tank.

After a chiller for a 60l, can have a bigger one though. cheers

Pm'd regarding the chiller.

I'm very interested if you will ship.

Lost one the other week. The other one is slowly getting bigger.

How big is the chiller?

:thup: !drool: looking great :cophot:

:cry1: Water tested last night... Looked alright until I saw a leak on the bottom of the front pane that was hidden by the tape around the bottom. I have decided too forget it as its getting to hard so there will be no more of this tank.

Thanks!

!drool: The whale one is awesome.

:cophot: :nfs: Finally, someone posted some pics.

Heh, It was in a bucket with no lid. I won't make that mistake again. :facepalm:

Thanks you both :bggrn:

Silver Dollar (Metynnis Argenteus / Hypsauchen) The Silver Dollar is a large South American characin that is often overlooked by many aquarists. Size: At pet shops they are usually around the size of a two dollar coin. It is common for them to get to 10-15 cm but they max out at 20+ cm. Feeding: For smaller specimen’s vegetable flakes, small vegetable pellets and algae based tablets are all options. For larger specimens I recommend vegetable pellets, algae based tablets, blanched leafy greens and peas with their shells removed. Silver dollars are herbivorous, so their diet shouldn’t consist of too many meaty foods. Tank Size: I recommend 120 x 60 x 60 cm as a minimum for a group of five adults. The bigger, the better. Water Chemistry: Silver dollars prefer soft water and a P.H of under 7.5. However I have found once established they are not too fussy. The temperature should be between 24 and 28 °c. Tank Mates: Silver dollars are compatible with most fish provided three things: The fish share the same water requirements, the fish is not overly aggressive and the fish is not too small to be “inhaled” by the Silver Dollar. The Silver Dollar is a schooling fish. Sexing the Silver Dollar: The male’s anal fin is pointed and redder than the females. The female’s anal fin is more rounded and less colourful. The Silver Dollar is a beautiful fish that can become a show-stopper when mature Females Male Let me know if I need to add anything. Cheers

Last night while I was acclimatising it I found out they are jumpers. :roll: :bounce:

I picked a small one up today and I would like to know what other people's experiences have been with them? Cheers

:iag: Stop teasing us and post some pics! :thup:

The fish is swimming normally. It's eating normally. I haven't seen any strange behaviours and I'll test the water after school. I've done three 20 percent waterchanges this week so I'll do another. Thanks for the help!

Can someone please help me identify what the spots are on my Spotted Metynnis?

Tank is all resealed. :dnc1: I've got to let it cure then the excitement starts. :happy1:

Just googled them. I've never seen anything like them before. They look quite interesting.
