phoenix44 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Im sure we all do it. BUt I just went and bought yet another fluval 405, (so that's 2 in a 4ft tank) and a real nice smallish silver arowana with a pretty red tail -which i know will outgrow my tank. but that's ok. i cant wait till i have to upsize :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 hey mystic, he is only about 5 or 6 inches at most. been fed on hikari =).. so got him heaps of that. I will get a larger tank, but i am a student, so will re-home him if i cannot cater to every need he has, lol - there's hardly any fish in the tank as is. I sort of decided i'd get him yesterday - ive never had a silver aro as a pet before.... i only ever jardini's and other aros as a kid in a 10ft tank. so yeah... i know what im headed for lol :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of rainbows do you have?? I made an impulse buy today at the Animates sale. Bought me an Exo Terra Terranium for my frogs. Also bought lots of dry food for my fish($80 worth ) and was going to buy a lighthood but couldnt get to them to look as they were behind a pile of animal crates, and i was in to much of a hurry to try rummage my way through them. :-?

phoenix44 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I have lake Kutubu rainbowfish (Melanotaenia Lacustris) rainbows. 2 of them. both blue. though one goes half dark blue occasionally. they are terrified of the aro, who doesnt seem to care about them or the other lille fish that are in with him. Those terrariums are awesome! what size did you get? i almost got the largest one for fire belly newts that I don't have, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Just the small one that ormally retais for $99. I think its the 30 x 30 model. I also bought some threadfin rainbows today with the intention of breeding them. What price do the Kutubu rainbowfish (Melanotaenia Lacustris) sell for? I havent seen them before in the shops.

Caryl Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I just sent my son down to Animates to get me a Fluval FX5 and media, after you lot said they were half price. Haven't got a tank to put it on but it pays to have a spare filter lying about doesn't it? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 retail for 15 bucks each i think. but have to be ordered in cause they aren't too common, but come by from time to time. i got threadfins breeding too... but not with the intention of breeding them. lol.. it just happens,and then the babies get eaten by the parents and the neons, and the cory. its all very sad. lol do u collect rainbow fish? cause you can take these for 20 bucks if you like... and that'll spare them from being terrorised by the aro.

Deno Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I rang Palmy Animates to see if they had an FX5 on sale at half price..they did. I battled with myself all day then finally talked myself out of it. I wanted it but didn't need it bad enough to warrant spending the $$$ and making a trip from Wanganui to get it. They only had one in store, did any of you guys score it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 i was told someone from wanganui called in about it. it was kept on hold for you till the end of the day, and i think it may have sold now (I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
