hey how cool!! do you have any pictures? puffers have allways been one of those fish that intrest me! i used to have abt five lil brazilian fw puffers,they used to scrape there beaks down the glass late at night to make the most anoying screaching sound ever!! i think they were possibly just trying to grind there beaks down like a rabbit with teeth that are too long(do they do that?) thanks alan,yep thats the ones!,so.... Subtotal: $14.99 Standard Shipping: $6.95 Taxes: $0.00 Total: $21.94 (is this nz$$?) Tim

I dont think it is no,but thats good then diver jhn!!;i use carbon in one of our filters and it seems to do a good job..... umm.... alan, it is one of the earlier models of diatom,it is like a jar with a motor on top, we have one to try out(a bag) to see if it fits,but still,spares wld be great! a bit off the topic,but....what kind of puffers do you have opius?salt?brackish?fresh?name?.ect.. cheers Tim

hi opius. diatom filters are realy good!!!, because they filter out micron size particles,that also means that they can filter out white spot! which is great! im looking for a bag for one atm if anybody has one,or knows where i can get one cheers newtz

Crays you say Deeveus?? cool!! What kind? is it possible to get painted crays? saw a few of them in fiji!! **very cool!!** Newt

yup, sounds like a plan wok....ill do that too

i quite like the golden ansistrus (sp)('bristelnose' gold form)above^ and also the normal variety..... i have kept otos before and they were sweet as, i had no probs with them and they even produced a few offspring.....i started with three and ended up with 6:D.... as for the drarf plecos mabye try asking in the catfish section as i kno there are a few being kept by thos ppl who chat in there and im sure theyd be happy to clue you in abt them...not sure who tho sorry i jus like the 1s i have seen around, but ive got no idea on the names of them...lol

yea y is that?? u cant really tell from the pic wether they are male and female....but they could be a pair...cldnt they? :-? Newt

i did a course at splash gordon in island bay, they are a padi outfit...i did 4 dives there and a couple in fiji,+ i hope to do a bit more when i start earning enough lol... as for cost...i cant remember what it was for me, cos my parents paid at the time... oh... and yes i do have a marine tank if you count local coldwater but will soon be going tropical **yay!!!!** Newt

hey caper, you can get quite alot of plecos,bristlenoses,and flying foxes...which all will eat algae, but they should all eat food if it can get to them however...crumble,pelets..ect.(spiralina disks are a fav for the plecs an bn's). so no need to wory abt them running out of food and yea, most plecs and bn's go great with other fish, not sure abt the flying foxes tho....the only other thing to worry abt i can think of is that some plecos can get quite big but not all of them, there are some realy nice dwarf plecs out there Newt
