the put no lids probably because it is easy access to the tank instead of taking the lid off...dont know why they dont have it

Good luck mate

Hi! like others have said, i would recommend you get a small one. First, they are cheaper compared to fully grown ones and their eating habbits may vary. But this is entirely up to you. When you do get one you can feed it crickets, baby goldfish, uncooked prawns and several others. My opinion its always best to feed it live food. Another thing to note is when feed a fully grown arowana live baby goldfish you would want to chuck one at a time. If you chuck in about lets say 5 fish in the tank at once chances are there would be survivors that would swim near the bottom of the tank. Having such thing happened the fish would always look downwards to view its prey, and knowing that it is a top feeder it is not very good on its eyes. Continuous starring to the bottom may cause eye injury to the fish, as i said it happens over time. My mates fish needed eye surgery because one of the arowana's eye flipped over. well anyways hope this helps.. Cheers Dan

Hi beachy! I would recommend you to get an Eheim 2226 model, it pumps 350 L an hour. Other wise you can get your hands on a fluval canister filter. We have a 450 L tank and it is getting filtered by the 2226 Eheim no sweat. Or you can shoot for the moon and get a 2228 Eheim, 600 L an hour. Well hope this helps...others may have different opinion. Cheers Dan

Nice tank luke! love the planted one

Nice fish dogmatix!

Hi and Welcome to the forum Gizzy! You have picked up a great and interesting hobby! although it costs but why NOT! you wouldn't regret joining i hope...i know i didn't , this site is such a great place for help and new ideas and info. You should take it slow with the fish just like what jude said . a couple discus wouldn't hurt

Nice fish Kylefish02! by the way what sort of plecto's that you have. The ones in your photo album (the orange). I think they look cool Cheers Daniel

Im not sure about planaria but it doesn't seem to effect the plants (to my knowledge that is). but its a short treatment...no longer than 2 days if im correct.

WOW!!! you guys got nice angels . im thinking of getting some too now...since im new to angels, are they compatible with discus in one tank???

Thank you guys for replying...i shall give them a visit.

Do you know the address Alan...if you do that would be very great! Cheers Daniel By the way i enjoyed your speech at the fish club about breeding

Glad to have you phil!

This sounds great good luck with that meg! glad to see them pics send some more ok

Where is this breakaway? I would like to check it out..

Hey guys where else can you get gravel instead of the fish shop that most likely rip you off. Im talking about something like a quary or stone shop or something...where do these fish shops get their gravel. Help would be much appreciated CHeers daniel

Hmmm ok...so if i just use a singular tube light would it need less power to generate (im talking about all general single tubes). If so im going to do that . Thank you guys

I use a twin bulb one bulb is specially for fish colour enchancement and the other is for growing them plants. I us a two foot light for a two foot tank.

I usually put roughly 1 and a half to 2 table spoons of salt into a 600 x 330x 350 tank . I use my hands though so i cant really tell how much.

YEs...i use a double tube light. One for growing and the other is for colour. 1200 dollars! thats for hardout people with plants.

That is a great site!! Thank you for posting it

Hey Wok! Hmmm what plants are good...Ambulia would be nice for some height and bush looking, same with cabomba, some Java Moss, Java fern and Japanese swords perhaps for some broad leave, get some red plants aswell. You want to place the braod leaves first and then place some of the fine leave ones (cabomba, Ambulia etc..) get a bit of driftwood and place the Java fern on it. The java fern will eventually attach itself to the piece of wood. The tank should cycle in withing a week seeing what you have done... Cheers Daniel PS Could i see some pics when it is done

Really?? hmm i never knew that...i mean i've seen tanks that are taller than half its length. Cheers Daniel

Thats great to hear...goo djob on the discus mouse . Keeps us in track of what is going on hehe. Let me know you decide to sell any where i really want to keep a couple of discus . Good luck with the babies Cheers daniel PS if you have a yahoo acount you can create a photo album

Thank you
