so would one of those jebos do the trick?? what other gear would i need?? Shae 250

actually from that, i would say they are useing some sought of blue light. Shae 250

cool thanks chimera, am checking it out as we speak. Shae 250

that is exactly what i want! if any1 could help on this? to be honest i dont know the reef talk? i dont even no what a skimmer does let alone how to make one, form what ive read, having a reef tank in nz, means you have to alot of DIY, what man wouldnt want DIY and fish!!! Shae 250

i have found it grows in cold water outside fine, i dounbt youll have goldfish eat it though, might not be too bad for there fry, as it produces infusoria if im correct? thers a place in ton the Fnzas called "aqautic plants" probably better for this subject. Shae 250

better to be safe than sorry. Shae 250

lol

Thats what i am assuming Peter. I ever seen guppys with colour that vivid/fluro that wernt on colour enhancing drugs, or that wertn some sought of hybrid. Shae 250

Good idea. Shae 250

what size is the tank? the reason i went off having a marine tank was becuase i wanted a smallish one, and everyone told me you cant keep a small marine tank. i have a friend who has one of those little jebos, and keeps 2 seahorses in it. could i do something like that? or could i have a tropical marine tank? Shae 250

hmmm.........isnt oxygen weed a cold water plant? Shae 250

it was metal the point was not for seperation of fry, i only ever used to to seperate teenage, or adults into there sexes, for selective breeding. or have a bunch of females who were ready to drop, in one side so the babys could swim through to the other and not be eatin, that way i could fish them out and put them in a maturation tank. I managed to get a plastic frame kit 1f x 1f from my other hobby shop (modeling trains) of which the frame fit perfectly with no gaps into the middle of the tank. then all i did was sylicon the mesh to the frame.

you should be fine as long as you do it very slowly, say another degree every third day or so. what temp do you intend of having them at. and were did you get cold water danios from? Shae 250

agreed a bit of melafix would hit the spot, and if that doesnt work try some anti-septic. Shae 250

thanks tonnes timothy, wondering how those guppy's i gave you have turned out? tell me what ratio you've got and if it isnt right ill bring wateva type you need? Shae 250

unfortunatly i forgot about mine, and opened the container i had them in to find the culture dead, really need a new one as the blue ram have laid eggs again, wondering if any1 in welly would give me or let me buy a cutlture off them? Shae 250

the lph is 200 so it will do up to a 60l tank. If i can get to the meeting on wednesday i will bring it, its up to you? Shae 250

Welcome to the site, im sure you'll find all you need to know here, unfortunatly i am not able to help you, as i do not keep marine fish. you should jump into the chat rom between 8:30pm-10pm thats when most ppl are on. for you it would be 6:30pm and onwards. obviously cause of the time difference. Shae 250

wondering if anyone could possible give me a ride to the kapi-mana metting this wednesday? im in stokes? Shae 250

animates quiet often have deals on canister filters, i managed to get a fluval 204, which will do just over a 200l tank, for only $130, i got $100 off. Shae 250

Those horrible breeding traps are animal cruelty, aqaurists should not be useing them! its better if you have a smaller or empty tank with which you can let the mother release her fry in. there are som people who have made there own traps of which i used to, until i got more tanks. i used some fine mesh, then made a frame 1f x 1f and made one 2 foot tank into two seperate 1f tanks, this allowed me to have the females in one side and the males in the other, or have the femaes in one side and let the fry swim through to the other empty side were they could not be eatin? its up to you. very simple and easy idea. not the most attractive though! that way you can share filtration and heating throughout the tank also. Shae 250

I used them in my 2 foots and found them resonabley effective, but have since upgraded to sharks which are much better. I have a magi-200 for $10 if your interested otherwise your tank is 182l, and unless im mistakin a filter LPH should be 3x that of the volume in the tank? so if the filters do 380LPH (you do the math) you should be fine. as long as this is a temporary thing. Shae 250

well as i say they are among the most beautiful guppy's i have ever seen. Shae 250

they look inhanced? either with drugs or on the computer, otherwise they are oming the most amasing guppys i have ver seen? i wonder if there from the hybrids ive been hearin about, with the jellyfish dna in them? Shae 250

interesting guppys, i have some blue females that would go perfect with them. are you interested in selling a blue male? have you attempted to line breed them at any stage? if not you should, blue is a less common colour. Shae 250
