HaNs Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 As the title. Im thinking about getting another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 As you know HaNs it didn't work out well when I had two in my tank, and I've heard bad things about keeping two in general. Groups of 3+ seem to be fine though, I know a couple people who have three and a lot of people on mfk keep lots together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilson Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Aquarium volume calculator This program works out the volume of your aquarium, and estimates the probable volume after some of the water has been displaced by decor and substrate. To work out how many fish you can keep in your tank use the Stocking density calculator Results System type Dimensions 122 x 91 x 61cm/48" x 36" x 24 Surface area 1.11 sqm/11.95 sq ft/ inches sq in Volume 676 l./149 gal.

HaNs Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Looks like im after 3 more dats Yay a school of dats Anyone want a Oscar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Wow, I was lightly stocked before and now I'm seriously understocked. I never actually worked out the literage myself, my dad did and I just trusted that (It's a fairly simple volume equation...maybe he just got the dimensions wrong?). In actual fact though the tank is 113.5x86x55cm. It's just easier to say 4x3x2. According to my calculations that's 537L...more than 490L, for sure. Thanks for pointing that out guys.

HummingBird Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Frozen shrimp and bloodworms seem to be the only thing they generally accept, apart from live fish obviously. How big're your borneos? Pics would be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they settle down they look so cool. Rotoruas prices are about the best iv found. I paid more for mine They will be able to knock a bit of the price if you ask nicely Get them and you wont look back lol I have 2 with 6 bars and 2 with 8 bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
