i think would be cool to have a piranha tank well with no piranhas but silver dollars, pacu, spotted metynis and red hook metynis and thats it heaps of them schooling and competing fr food

well im getting an 8 footer next year so ill have more options then:D

fair enough well i am confident that the silver dollars will eat all my plants thats ok ill just hven o plants but so far, they havent nibbled or anything though, in saying that, they are settling in and still eating only a little bit

i prefer to show you guys videos, woud be so much easier! and nicer cos its dark in the garage, and te photos never turn out nicely. videos would be far superior how do i put videos up?

not too concerned with plants actually but just a trial if it gets eaten, its ok

well... we all know i like trying random things i was told buy this group in uk that silver dollars can be put into a planted tank, so long as they are well fed. everyone says and my own judgement says no. but i decided to have fish wtih jardinii that are nice, i love silvers look like piranhas! so ill sacrifice the plants but ... im trialling to see if the silvers and my spotten metynis and flagtail will eat the plants. day 2, no plants have been eated. if i keep them well fed, maybe, in theory they wotn eat it unless they are grazer fish then perhaps.... well if they do its ok but, if not, then perhaps thats an idea for someone, a planted silver dollar or metynis tank:D oh yes, a red hook metynis is available if anyone wants them at HFF 80 $

something spectacular like imported highly rare discus with LOTS of plants. this will lengthen non water changing times. even 2 weeks at a time or 3. i did a trial, i have a heavily stocked fish, 22 total fish inside my 400 litre 4 foot. 3 weeks no water change, heavily planted, i mean the plants grow so well that i have to keep trimming - water was perfect. discus was growing nicely too and colouration is developing well. and i feed them discus tucker which is mainly beef with bloodworms for the others and pellets. so water changes are not always needed weekly or bi weekly, and if you develop a system - a 30% WC can take less than 10 mins. or - i reckon a rocky tank - silver dollars, oscars and pleco. nice to see 4 to 5 silver dollars school and fight for food

added 2 slver dollars, full sized, 1 spotted metynis(7 cms) 1 appolo shark. the apolo shark got totally wasted, moved it away to my discuss tank to recover and have a happier life but silver dollars were attacked initiallyand pursued slightly, jus tlike the tinfoils and flagtail then the aggression became less and less, untill it doesnt bother anymore interesting.

looks fine to me! put a jardinii in there:D

i think its a female at 60cms, should be showing colour right?

how big are they? what species are they?

its ok no problems i wish we had scorpions

i tried to get some avondale spiders aka huntsman i think no one got one for m yet

my jar is very picky wont touch anything else but shrimps damn old owner the old owner fed it only prawns since he got him from hollywood fish farm from just 4 to 5 inches, i got him about 8 inches or maybe 9 inches at most he wont eat anything but prawns but thats ok, i have excss prawns from unsold stock, plus its cheap to buy prawns from pak n save anyways. my jar tried to chase the tilfoils around, but got sic of it after it discovered that they are more maneuverable than he is lol hoping that that wont change:D

yes, i think it would not just be funny it would be tragic, yet funny

jsut modify a back pack and bring it back that way or how they try to smuggle drugs shove it up where the sun dont shine and retrieve later. 8)

hey i know exactly how ti is, in philippines its the same! everything freshwater sharks freshwater barracuda etc rays, bichirs, gars, arowana, all bony tongues are available. exciting!@

when you reverse the flow of the tank. do you think that it takes time for hte fish to adjus just like when you change the setting of the tank ornaments and add plants, usually fish takes time to adjust, similar to when you transport fish. jsut wanna know

agreed, the more bio noodles the better

ok maybe the name is wrong it looks like ryan jurys picture the thing is my gf picked it cos it looked pretty she said, im not sure... but it looks pretty much like ryanjury picture

probalby just teasing me but ill clarify usually my jar swims counter clockwaise in circles, like most big fish do that cruise around now it swims the other way tha ti put my flow of the outlet pumps the other way around

my gf will appreciate that pic, its cute i actually cant see the fourth tempts me to buy more beardies

the following: 4 times discus - white diamond, blue and red turq, blue cobalt snakesskin. peacock eel tyre track eel clown pleco leopard syno 4 golden barbs 1 swordtail 4 mollies (was gonna be jar food but my gf made me not feed them) 1 chinese ram - male 4 dwarf gourami - 2 blue with red stripe and one half red and blue i forgot the names. 2 clown loaches was thinking of adding couple m ore discus but not sure

thanks the plants grow surprisingly well! i put one cap full a week of this fertiliser. it grows so fast i have to keep taking out plants. im thinking of putting more coloured plants in there. all i have are two bulbs, power glo is one and the other i forget its a purplish one, slightly has a redish tinge apparently for colour

yes i thought it was too silver too hence why i thought it was a asian type, a cheap malaysian but its not, the tail is very very red with black rims the scales definately have red dots in the middle each
