smidey Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 nice fish, what size are they? they can be extremely difficult to take pics of, i struggle to get any good ones with my point & shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusionz_NZ Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 it is just a bubble filter. i was pretty stoked to find these guys. totally awesome . hopefully it works out and i can breed from them in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si_sphinx Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Wow, nice. Hopefully you can breed them, I need some more. Another one of mine died the other day The more dominant one slowly pick off all 3 others, most likely all the same sex unfortunately. Even in a 700ltr tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 How much do those filters cost and where do i get them? haha if you were fishkeeping 20 years ago that filter would be one of your only options lol they should be pretty cheap if you can find a lfs that stocks them . they are aqir-powered so you will need an air pump oh and by the way nice pics illusions im jealous i seen some for sale at a lfs recently was so tempted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illusionz_NZ Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 no worries. the bubblers are great. most people run them with stones in the bottom and filter sponge but i prefer to fill them with the bio noodles as i find its easier to clean. they are around the ten dollar mark and i think masterpet supplies them. currently i only have them in a 3 foot tank but thats soon going to change, as soon as i shift some tanks around and get appropriate housing............I need shells............

Jennifer Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I can tell you where to buy some shells in town if you end up not finding any by other means. Awesome fish btw, makes me want another tank. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusionz_NZ Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 yes please. any suggestions would be great. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Ballantynes sells escargot shells (small lime size) in a container of 40 for $29 (if I recall). Also, there is a store upstairs in the Riccarton mall (Bedding store) that has larger shells (lemon size) of all sorts of varieties and very nice - they are about $1 each.

Lynnie Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Wicked Mate. How many do you have.? will pop around to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusionz_NZ Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 look forward to it lynnie redwood aquatics stock the round bubblers. i prefer the round ones to the triangle ones. they just act as an extra small filter as well as giving you the air supply. win win really.
