Litres to US gallons divide by 3.6 Litres to British Imperial gallons divide by 4.5

My heavily planted tank read 0 nitrate last couple of times I checked it. This is with pressurised CO2 as well though. I still do weekly or every second week water changes. There's no substitute for a gravel vac and fresh water

Mine only spawned after a cool water change (after the hot summer)

Cool Jim, are you trying to breed them?

Nice line up flatfish! That must've set you back a bit for all those flash plecs. I have: Plecs 5x standard bristlenose 1x redspot 2x good-sized golden nugget Cories 5x Adolfo 5x Bronze 5x Sterbai 1x Albino

Aros are extremely hard to breed in captivity (need huge tanks and months of patience)... that said it's not impossible. Some guy did it in Asia. Once they started their courtship which lasts months he was feeding them only live goldfish too! :-?

Stunning. I got a big boy too. They breed in my 4 footer but not in a dedicated 2 footer. Think I'll need to try the 3 footer once the daphnia in it die off outside.

Wicked! Well done Stu. Keep them coming. Any pics of the parents? :bounce:

Riccia (just slightly off topic...what's the best way to make this a mat on the bottom of your tank? use some kind of mesh and nylon it up??

I was thinking airline when I was reading that but you say they're dry. I had my 300L totally empty from a airline falling down the back which started a self-siphon :evil: Still...better than a cracked tank. Maybe the leak is near the top and once it dropped below that level it stopped leaking. Goodluck.

Heya, I don't believe there's a known cause, but overfeeding is suspected. I had one discus die of it after a huge feeding of colour bits so I put it down to that.

lol! thanks for that bud...I'm all good for now

I've got 3 or so medium sized ones doing well, nice cream colour. Wouldn't mind going to get a few more bigger ones though.... Molly Hunt pt II?

they look a heap like guppies

I got a 20cm +/- red spot pleco

Hey Spangela... bloat is one of the biggest killers. Grab some magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) asap and treat any showing the signs...it is a laxative

yo yo welcome aboard

welcome lamnidae....great to hear you've joined the good side of the force

Add a female and end up with 200+ babies like I have now

Mmmmm i couldn't help but think that too! They wouldn't swarm like that though. Nice video.... cool to see the true biotype...makes it easier to replicate

Wicked sounds great thanks Dave. Hope to have a great turnout :bounce:

that would be such an awesome tank with excellent inhabitants, i hope you do it!

I'm not a member there

Can someone post this on planetcatfish and find out the L number perhaps??
