[Aquaclear Filters]

thanks caryl i'll go have alook around and see what i can find, but while im at it are thier any non cannister filters recommendations for a 20-25 gallon tank?

[Aquaclear Filters]

Anybody seen aquaclear filters available for sale in christchurch, lookin for a new filter and heard these were good

[Heater Position]

k thanks for that, i think i misunderstood the instructions on the box :roll:

[Heater Position]

When i see pictures of peoples setups with heaters, the heaters are always lying sideways but i thought you had to place the heater straight up and down?

[custom hoods]

when people talk about making thier own glass tanks what about hoods/lids?

[water changes]

do you heat the new water that is going to be put into a tropical tank to about the same temp or can you go straight from the tap to tank?

[Sand Substrate]

Has anybody ever used sand as a substrate for goldfish? I was thinking about doing it becuase it would look quite nice, but if it would end up killing my fish then i would have to give it a miss

[So how did you get hooked.]

My aunt has a pond that she had just redone, after going thier and seeing her goldfish............. They were huge, we have had goldfish before, even tropical fish, but never really got interested. After seeing the size in person of how big they could get basically got me into it, now im really after growing BigFish

i might go looking for some peppered corys then, but i was thinking what about bristlenose catfish would they be alright with my goldfish?

[Dojo/Weather Loaches]

also when you say 'plecostomus' does that mean all types like bristlenose catfish and ottos?

[Dojo/Weather Loaches]

Thanks for that link andrew, really helpfull, after looking through it i saw that you could keep peppered catfish without heaters so i was wondering do most good fish stores have them? especially in christchurch?

[Dojo/Weather Loaches]
