Something like a 150hx60hx40H would look really cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 All good, guts about the fish tho, but i prefer ornates over silver dollars, you should keep him Dont worry about the dels mate but could you tell me how much the surface skimmers are - the cheap ones that attch to a filter intake?

I love my sens, the ornate is just a brute I cant run the risk of him growing a lot faster than the Dats, and snacking on those too... Cant remember how much the skimmer was, had to import it from the states via Ebay. There is a Hagen branded one for the Aquaclears (same thing basically) but they arent in NZ.

Fruju Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Absolutely gutted today silver dat died and im pretty sure the ornate was at fault :evil: I hate him lol, :roll: I feed them enough why did he decide the dats tail looked yummy, the At started lolling around and im preeety sure it was a swim bladder issue. Anyways, im probably not going to buy any more fish until I have a larger tank and a slightly larger grow out tank :roll: yeah right, but really want to get another AT, he was cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 do you want 6 more silver dollars ? 8) lol, no thanks snookie, man you are having a really hard time trying to sell them, I would have thought someone would like to make a really large school or something. Hopefully Ill be getting an AT in soon. Can get you one whenever you like Must be a funny week for ornates eh. cheers morcs, will probably be a few weeks away yet, going to Fiji next week :bounce: , got my dive certificate in Samoa a couple of years ago but haven't done any diving since, and dont own my own gear, but when im there i will hopefully dive with some sharks = pinnacle of my diving ambition. Yeah, about the ornate i considered selling my last one but i think they look really cool especially when they are monster so i will keep him, just means that smaller fish will have to be held in another tank :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 it doesnt look overstocked, i call overstocked the asian style tanks where nothing can move its so dense, and the only thing keeping them alive is filtration. altough for general overstocking i think that whatever breaches the natural appearance aspect is overstocked, when the tank doesnt look right, if you get where im coming from? I still reckon try an arowana :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
