alanmin4304 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Bubble and squeek have some good albino babies at the moment and a few are carrying the long fin gene. Can't remember the price but they were pretty cheap as they bred them themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diver21 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 good point, my guess by looking at the pictures is that they are for emptying water from the tanks for a water change, but still need to be filled up by a bucket/hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32GOTMLK Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 hi yup they led to taps which i can drain and fill the tanks by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver21 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 an fill? pritty flash. is the water going back in mixed with hot water similar to a shower mixer or is it straight cold water from a tap/ barrel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alienara Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 dang that's a nice setup... I'm guessing the top tank is the community, mid tank is breeding and bot tank is the hatchery? Did you have to cut a hole in your tanks to put the tubes in? how did you cut it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
