I've got a 60l aquarium that I'm keen to get some plants for, such as ambulia, pennywort, watersprite/wisteria/indian fern, as well as some crypts (really like these). The lighting I've got is low to medium. Please comment/PM me if you've got any plants/cuttings you wouldn't mind selling me (don't necessarily have to be the ones I listed)

Pm'd

I don't mind how many plants, I'd be super keen on the Crypt and Anubias though! I'll see if I can sort something out this week

How much would postage be to the Wellington region @Caryl?

Wanting to buy some plants and/or plant cuttings to fill in an aquarium. Will pay for them/postage

Does anyone know where I can find tapdoles either in Kapiti/Wellington or New Plymouth/Taranaki?

Have they got much colour?

I just recently got some Mollies from Tokannu, and I was wondering what quarantine procedures I should take and how I get them to eat food. I was also wondering how big they would grow ect, ect. Thanks

I want to get into breeding pygmy cories. The setup will be very simple, a sponge filter, smooth river sand, java moss, and various other low light plants. Will feeed them sinking pellets, frozen blood worms and brine shrimp, freeze dried food and my frozen vegetable food. I was wanting to do it in a 40 litre aquarium, woldthis be big enough. I'll have a colony of about ten or so and breed them and just sell to lfs or trademe. Any tips on breeding them will also help.

This is the tank and its dimensions https://www.aquaticsupplies.com.au/products/blue-planet-classic-50-aquarium-50l

Is it safe to put them in the pond at this time of year? What plants do you recommend for underwater, will probably have oxy weed and a big lily pad but want other better options. Finally how many white clouds do you recommend for a large tub?

Can I keep White clouds in a pond year round in New Plymouth? If I can only kept them in warmer months can I put them in now, and how many do you recommend to put in. thanks

I want to keep a pair of GBR's in a low tech planted tank by themselves. Is a 50l tank sufficent to keep them and would it be okay if they ever want to breed? Any tips for GBR's? Thanks

Best bristlenose to breed?

Cheers for all the info Shilo. How can I increase my lighting on the in-built hood? It says to only use 11W light for the tank but is there a way to increase lighting?

Is it okay if I had daltons dirt capped with river sand, then added the flourish excel and flourish, and had low light? Or is it better to have higher light.

Do i just cut a slit in the cartridge and replace it with bio balls or the rings?

What should I do? Because my tank has a inbuilt filter with carbon. We tried sponges in it but it leaked everywhere.

In my filter, will the carbon absorb the liquid fertss and other ferts, from the daltons.

So daltons mix first and then cap it with sand, or the other way.

So I got a 50L and want to start a new planted tank. I want crypts in it, anubias, java fern and cyperus helferi in it. Is 11watt sufficent or how do I get a stronger light, the light is one of those inbuilt ones. I want to use sand substrate from a river, is this possible. Next what do you recommend daltons soil, the one from palmers, or jbl. If I dont use soil do I use tabs or liquid ferts. Thanks

Is this a good feeding routine for a community tank which has, neons, cardinals, mollies and platies. Monday: AM:Home made vege food. PM Spirulina tablet stuck to side of aquariuam Tuesday: Am: Fasting? PM: Fasting Wednesday: AM: Freeze dried brine shrimp soaked in water. PM: Colour enhancing flakes, soaked so they sink Thursday: AM: Spirulina pellets. PM: Fozen Blood Worms Friday: AM: Home made vege food. PM: Nothing Saturday: AM:Normal flakes PM: Freeze dried bs soaked Sunday: Colour enhancing flakes soaked. PM: Pea, or cucumber or another vege Please give advice. Thanks.

Yeah we thought if we did do this we wouldn't put the frogs in, because he read somewhere that they can eat the lizards/lizards. We have realised that the water can not be self sustaining, but the land can if be if we had a good breeding population of crickets, slaters and other small insects Thanks for the offer on the plants but if we do this it won't be till we leave college so like 5 years!

So me and this friend had a massive idea that when we leave school we will make a huge glass Vivariuam, with a huger water section that house shrimps, Koura, Bullies, and other small native fish. Then it would have another huge land section with native plants, ferns, Golden bell frogs, skinks and maybe a gecko? We also wanted to see if this could be a self sustaining thing with only needing the work of water changes, and filter cleaning. IS this possible? Our tank would have to be huge probably over 6x2 metres.

Yeah that's what I was thinking of using, almost exactly! But I will add paprika as I've heard it can enhance the colours of red and orange fish.
