tks, there were a few nice fish species in that last tank, I don't think they would last too long in this new setup with the toads though!! this is a different tank, this one is a 6x2x2 tank with a sump, the sump is connected but not opperational at the moment as the water level is pretty low at...

hi, it is sooooooooo long since I have logged in it is embarrassing, tks for the offer of plants Jason, I did set up another tank last year, but this time I set it up slightly differently, I used much heavier branching to avoid them breaking ,bending and cracking as the plants grew, the tank...

hi, sorry for the late reply, yep the tank is now dead, i sold it over a year ago and split and gave away all the plants to friends, I have not been keeping that many fish in the past year, too many other things were taking up my time, but i miss that tank and it is the one that everyone else...

i doubt they are altum at a fiver each, they cost more than that trade price

Re: Giants Causeway "Lavagumi" 30L **BIG UPDATE** that has turned out a nice looking tank, if you are ever heading down south in Ireland (west cork area) send me a pm and i am sure i could give you a good few plants to tempt you set up another tank

just a short update on the tank, there have not been many big changes other than adding a couple of cuttings and offsets of some plant species not generally planted by aquarium keepers, I added these just to see how they would behave, the idea came after the previous addition of a couple of...

i won't be rushing to this one, i don't like eggs

the two main reasons people fail with otos in my opinion are 1. they buy recently imported specimens 2 the otos starve in the tank after a month or two, just my thoughts

i had them in my tank with the plants growing above the water, the ones they chose were the anubias, amazing little fish to watch, they were the fastest growing fish i ever kept, i got them at about 2.5cm they were adult and spawning within 3 weeks, they spawned like clockwork, every 3.5 to 4...

Tks Darrel, make sense it is a good descriptive term for the plants growth habit, now if they could add in something about the frond shape they would have it sorted! I would tend to go towards thinking it is a different species to the gracile form as it grows and looks so differently under the...

it is either a different species or else a different form of pteropus, I don't know which, this is different from the plants generally offered for sale, I had never seen it offered before. It can produce leaves over 12" long, some of them trilobite from about a third of the way up the frond and...

a quick update, one of the branches i mentioned in an earlier post finally gave up the other day, bending until it cracked and broke resulting in the java fern clump tilting and sinking into the tank so i bit the bullet and pulled it out, here is a picture of the plant. It started life in the...

they look great and have colored up nicely,..... i admit the bags were very close to being burst as they floated in one of my tanks a week or two ago :lol:

Re: A Chocolate Puddle looking like a beautiful planted tank in the making, i really like the shape of the tank, is the starwort you bought Callitriche palustris?? I would be interested to see how it grows in the tank in warmer water and under your lights

I thought it was, tks
