Awesome photographs, would love to visit the country sometime. A guy i know moved there not so long ago aswell. I think he went to Otaru, Hokkaido.

I think it may be stunted.

Well, the ones in the store would've been, different species are discus like Heckels etc.

Discus are all the same species bro. Just color variants..

edible

In NZ? Not the Guppy X's either.

How many types of Geckos are available to keep in NZ? Just went to the Museum today, and saw a couple of them, sorta motivational. But yeah, just a question.

Dysfunctional

( Using http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/volume_calculator ) Using the 50L per Discus rule i'd say 11 would be the maximum amount. I guess judging from what everyone else has said that if you intend on keeping plants etc that number may have to be lowered. But yeah, this is only if you don't intend on finding new homes for some of your existing discus. Another thing to consider is that tank is going to be well over half a ton by the time substrate/driftwood/whatever else you're intent on putting into it. Before purchasing such a tank i'd make sure that the floor where you intend on putting the tank is strong enough to support such weight. Might not be a huge factor, but it's better thought about now than later. I guess if the house has concrete foundations then it's not too bigger problem. But alot of older houses are on wooden foundations. (Unfamiliar with building/architect terms) Not sure how much power such a tank would consume, if you are concerned about that at all. About all i can think of honestly, hope this helps. C:

Awesome, thanks for the replys guys Yeah, it's just that if they're not fast, six hungry Corydoras get there first! But yeah, i dropped in an Algae Wafer the other day, knowing that it breaks into small particles they ate the floating bits and took some nibbles at the pellet, flakes also seem to be favoured. But yeah, with time they should adjust! ;]

Hey all, i've recently purchased two small Electric Blue Rams, just have a question and that is what do you feed yours? I have five different types of food at the moment TetraMin Tropical Crisps TetraColor Tropical Granules Aquarian Sinking Shrimp Pellets Hikari Algae Wafers And Spectrum Thera +A Regular Formula The other fish i keep: 1x Red Whiptail 6x Corydoras Sterbai I figured the Spectrum would be suitable, i just feel that i should purchase another type of food for them aswell. I've seen floating Cichlid Pellets, but yeah, i need some advice in this area, so yeah Thanks!

Or rather, just opinons on Branded vs Rimless tanks. Etc.

Hey FNZAS, As the title reads, i'm thinking of a new tank, but i'm unsure what direction i should take, with choices such as rimless over branded tanks with built in components etc. Some factors are: - Possible stand options if i went rimless - I have around 92cm Length Max to work with (Height isn't really a big thing, just wanting to get the max capacity in the space given) - What sorts of filtration i will have to use - But the biggest of all is i that want to have the light strength to support excellent plant growth, which is i guess where i am torn. I understand this is a broad topic so ask questions please. So yeah, i'm hoping the feedback i recieve will help me make my decision Thanks all ~

well their vents haven't come out yet

how do i tell which one is male or female? what i've seen the smaller discus is the one shivering

One of my discus is shivering and keeps pecking at the filter pipe. The other discus also pecks at the filter pipe. I don't think its spawning as they are only 8-10 months old. Any suggestions of what is happening?

so should i just get another discus and some more schooling fish?

but when we first bought him the tail was white...well it was clear like normal discus tails now My red zebra is hiding probably because my red turq has been bullying it heaps whenever it goes near the red dragon...how can i lessen that

so how would i de-worm them? they didn't have white faeces or anything...although their faeces are like quite crumbly-like would 4 be a good idea as that's the only number I can fit into the tank?

this is the image of the red dragon and its blackened tail
