Crooky

They look great. I'd love a monster tank like that. Thanks for the info

I would be keen for Pterophyllum altum. Any one got any true altum angels? They would look great with tea colour water with nice root systems and plants and shoal of neons

No it wasn't a bristle nose just a common I think.

i just googled sterbai they do look good in a big group. So im set on having a single species of corys 8-12 maybe bit i can still have other fish in the tank right? Not had corys before

would all that fit my tank? I have never had discus and I do like them. Can they live with angels ? I guess having one centerpiece species would look better. Thanks

i did have a pleco years ago that killed two oscars. It got to 17.5 inches long and really hard to catch! Spiky and very strong

I'm not new to fish but I dnt know what to do with a 1.2 Mtr (4 foot) 270ltr tank. So fill my tank as if it were yours. what would you do could be cold or tropical fresh water. I may just make your idear happen

Tell me more about this grub pie?

Dam you ! Now I have to do this to my tank. my Mrs is gona be mad at you haha Looks cool nice work

I think a lot of the public are blind or just don't know what we have here in new zealand. I stoped eating whitebait once I set up my native tank at home. I have met people that didn't know we had native fish! so I signed the partition in hope that it will raise awareness of at least what we have then how to protect it. I hope whitebait farming takes off soon to ease the pressure That's my 2 cents anyway

Looks like dad or the inanga gang ate tall the eggs. Oh well next time. Thanks for your help :thup:

One pair of my common bully have spawned on the side of the in tank pump yay! But in that tank there is another bully fish, two Koura and now 10 inanga as well (thanks MTI) so I'm picking they are all gona get eaten. Any ideas on how I can keep some alive?

That sound cool as haha I knew I wouldn't be the only one. Sounds like you need and old 60s or 70s house with a sunken floor lounge then fill it with water and fish

I put my face up to the glass at one end of my 270ltr native tank an just stare through it at the fish and crays going about there business and I kinda just want to be small and in there too. Surely I'm not the only one? Am I?

Good question. I was young and dumb and thought one day I'm gona buy a tank and keep gold fish how hard could it be? Water ,stones a few plants and fish easy right? Wrong! I feel bad now looking back at the poor fish that got stuck with me. The tank went cloudy with in a week or two and when I found out why I was gutted then I started to loose some fish. So I gave remaining fish to a friends pond. Years later and lots of study I set up a tropical tank and cycled it and slowly built up. Now I have natives and a guppy tank soon to be two and still have some empty tanks. Yikes I think I'm hooked!
