Faran Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Bare tanks are easier to clean, accumulate less waste and make it soooo much easier to catch fish. Nice tank bruddah, keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinsonMassif Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Can I ask why you keep so many big fish in such close confines with the seemingly inadequate tank not even filled to the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.PROPHECY Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 just like the japanese style of overstocking a bare bottom tank , my tanks not even that stocked compared to some . these fish are very well looked after! they heaps of swiming space none of them fight or ever get sick i dont see anything wrong with it besides ill be upgrading , but will still keep it bare with a whole lot of fish in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinsonMassif Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 maybe we should start a new thread on "what do fish really think about their environment?" and include the idea of assigning human emotions to fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 well on that note i just did an experiment with my own dats after putting rocks and plants and stuff, they are more active. i dont know why i never usedto decorate my tanks, just gravel. gravel accumulates lots of benefician bacteria. adds to filtration. and fish poo? depends, meaty poos like from the aro is a lil different, but in principle unless you get iant chunks that still have large amounts of undigested food in the poo. usually poo is very complete in its decomposition. fish poo becomes nothing more than dirt, soil when it is in the gravel. amonia and the primary toxins making up the poo is actually soluble. humans are differnt to fish, but fish poo , usually powdery dissolves most if not all of its toxins into the water.... so water quality doesnt get affected much by gravel. bio filtration is most important, if the poo stored toxins, then it would litereally have to be sucked into the filter to be metabolised, even then you have to wait to break it down to microscopic particles. and we wont be ablet o test water cos we would need to get poo samples. having no gravel lessens bio filtration. but if your fish is healthy, then its inconsequencial. plants make animals feel more at home. someone told me ones, probalby from here. an owner that keeps a healthy happy fish is a good fish keeper. fish can survive and tolerate conditions - but being happy makes them look nicer and more entertaining. hence why i not decorate all my tanks. even with basic thingsl ike gravel and a piece of wood. some plants. fake plants are good bacteria medium.

Caper Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 The one on the bottom on the right side is the knife fish, right? The one where his/her eyes look so white, as well as one of the other fishies, looks really eerie OH, very nice tank by the way. Even though the tank is bare bottom, you still have to vacuum right? Are you at all nervous about putting any part of your anatomy, meaning fingers, hand, arm in with such big fishies?? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
