  6. Koura Tank

    in New Zealand Natives

    Posted

    Don't put gold fish or white cloud minnows in the tank with koura since they don't know to keep away and will get damaged from the claws.

    Glad you said that as mountain minnows would have been my first go to... 

    Are these also all accessible in the same place as Koura?

    Awesome! Thanks @Shilo!

    Have had a wee look online, will hold off on a chiller for winter i think, house gets pretty bloody cold already!
    There are hundreds of them up at my partners farm over the Wairarapa, we have caught them before with ease with just our hands :D a net is probably a safer option though!
    Such cool little creatures, I am really looking forward to keeping them.

    Didn't want to jump ahead of myself and get a couple home to realize the tank hadn't been set up how they would like it the most.
    Is there anything that would make an ideal tank mate (fish or shrimp) that could be put in there with them?
    The tank is obviously quite small at 100L and wouldn't want to overstock or upset the precious.

     What area are you in? 

    Wellington CBD, probably won't need to worry about one for the next few months, its pretty damn cold here!|
    Gives me a bit of time to look into getting one which is good, but obviously i am not going to need a massively huge one for a 100L?
    Whats the noise level like....?     O.o

    That is awesome thank you so much!
    Guess i will be rescaping for them for the next week or so!
    Is a chiller just as accessible as other aquarium things (from LPS?) Never thought i would need one of those as i have always kept tropical!

    Hi all,

    Have done a read through the forums, so much info!
    I have a Koura tank set up, running, ready, but i feel i am missing something.

    Silk plants (I have heard they destroy real plants)
    About 2 - 4cm of rough gravel and sand
    Two small to medium rock caves
    Heater set to 15 degrees (tank has been cycling for a couple of weeks already)

    What else do i need before i pop the bad boys in?
    Its a 100L with internal filter and hood, tank looks a little bare, i only have intention of keeping 2-3 in the tank.

    Thanks in advance:D

    Hi guys

    Quick question.

    He's usually very active and friendly but tonight he appears to have taken a turn. Just sitting on the bottom of the tank looking very sad. He's about 3 years old, roughly 12cm in length and has always been a happy camper.

    ph, nitrates and ammonia all fine. 

    Have him in a 70 litre Aqua One with a few neons, some Kuhli loaches and some peppered catfish. Have recently added a betta fighter and they have been fine (over a month ago)

    Any ideas as to what's causing his PMS?

    Thanks in advance.
