Kesgrave is good.

Ebay isn't that bad. I get fish from eBay sellers.

I'm unsure. However if all other possibilities have been ruled out, it could very well be.

I kept 4 in a 200 ltr with no problems. Maybe try to get a pair from your group and move the others on?

Anyone that keeps cockateils want to share their experiences on keeping them.

What about using a heat lamp at night?

I have two large echindorus plants that they hide behind. The issue is that they are not hiding as I go in the room. When they see me they dash all over the tank in a panic.

I have kept the lights off so it's just natural light in the room. They dart around then hide. After a minute they realise they are being fed and they come out. My fear is that they are going to damage themselves hitting the glass. I will give the screen a go and reduce its size as the days go by.

I got 6 young discus on Wednesday. I have them in my fish room and all Hell breaks loose when I enter the room. They dart all over the aquarium bashing into the glass ect. Any tips on calming them down?

What about a pair of dwarf cichlid?

90% water changes every day would become a part time job for me! The place where I'm getting my discus from recommend no less than 30% weekly water change. I know from research discus don't do well with strong current. What I was thinking was reducing the spray bar by half. That way there will...

If I increase the flow three quarters I can maintain a constant 29.4c temp. I just worry the current will affect 6.5cm discus.

To anyone keeping discus, how low do you keep the flow of water? I get my discus soon and if I do half water ow my temp drops to 27c.

I made a fish suggestion and forgot to add peacock gobys. They look like jewels in a planted tank. Galaxy rasboras always look dull to me.

My choice would be Cardinal tetra White cloud mountain minnows Harliquin.

It does cost money but it could generate new members. It was only a thought.

I mean an auction. It would bring more members to the site. Maybe even do a live stream auction.

In regards to Aquabid why dont UKaps run a weekly/monthly auction? We could sell plants, fish and equipment. Any thoughts?

Thats true Alto. I just assumed neither of these symptoms were present as i would say so if there were obvious issues, fin rot ect.

Try to feed several foods throughout the week. Bloodworn, brine shrimp ect. I cant see any reason why the betta seems lethargic.

Your temps are fine for a betta. What do you feed and how much per day?

Its most likely but the tree was sporting scorch marks. The tree branch was cut off by a saw. I didnt get a decent photo of the fallen branch (very lerge) but the branch was split up its lenghth and had black scorch marks. The "split" carrys on for another metre or so up the tree.

Came across this tree in the local park. Seems it was struck by lightning during Scotlands thunder storm a week or two ago. Followed by a stroll along the shore as the sun gets ready to set.

I thought deposits were kept by a third party?

You can ask your agent for a direct contact number fir the home owner. Ask the owner directly? This is your legal right as a tennant by the way.

In the UK im sure a fish tank comes under furniture. I could be wrong so dont take my word. landlords can be difficult. My advice is get a council house ASAP!

Some pictures from my smart phone using macro lens attachments. Pretty cool

Those fish are bursting with colour. They look fantastic

Are these both cultured in the same way? I would appreciate if you could send some.

This is the pair i want to start with Male Female

Through reading ive heard that white worms cause the pelvic fins to be shorter. Is this true?

I have decided to venture into breeding Bettas. After some research i have found it confusing in regards to fry diet. What do you feed them on?

After 6 miles she began to tire but like most dogs found the energy to go 6 miles back home!

Do you have an outdoor toilet?

A picture of the "water well" on the water of Leith Edinburgh.

Whats the best way to remove white worms from the culture container?

I popped into pets at home today. I was impressed by there betta selection. Picked up a koi male. Picks to follow once settled.

I dont use facebook.

I seen the Ebay page. Was impressed with a koi female, was sold when i got back from work.

There is a pets at home round the corner but its white spot city! They had some good stock covered in white spot. Only ever have females for sale.

Hello, Im looking to buy some quality show bettas. Anyone recommend online sites that deliver in the UK?

She is very loyal. I never will understand people who abuse animals. The second picture is her wearing a hat my mum bought her. She likes to show it off

These are small juvies I will try for better photos later

These are captive bred. The problem is that they do eat, but spit most of the food back out. So say one fish eats five blood worms, it spits 4 back out. I will leave it a few days to feed them.

I would dose the amount needed at the same time. Im not sure what the difference would be dosing twice in 24hours. I cant see it being more or less beneficial.

Is there a reliable method of heating multiple breeding tanks using one heater? Tanks are 45 litres and i will be using 3.

I use liquid carbon also. I add it at least an hour before the lights come on.

Wont let me upload pictures, says file is too big?

Thought i would get in a few shots of the new arrivals. Almost a week since they arrived. All are doing well. Peacock goby (male)

The reason for an alternitive food is due to my angels. They wont take flake/pellet, tried frozen foods, they eat it but only in small amounts. I had a little beef heart mix in the freezer. I gave them a small bit and they went nuts! My mix is beef heart, raw prawn, raw white fish and flake...

I picked up diced beef heart and some beef liver. The liver looks way leaner than the heart. I may give the liver a try.

Looking for an alternative to beef heart to make up a food mix

She is a great poser with her seal pup face!

Equality is rampant!

Just need to find a chairman!

This in my dog Pip. She has an obsession with this slipper and loves to chase it. Where she got it is a complete mystery.

I think Scotland would get independence if there was another vote. The outcome of the EU vote confirms we are not a united kingdom and its time we go our own ways.

I was more horrified by the people who didnt vote but seemed to have an opinion anyway. We were talking about the EU outcome today at work. Out of six guys only two of us voted!

If only us Scotts got the refferendum right the first time round we would have had a clean break from the UK.

I had mine on white worm and prima pellets. I was looking into making a paste, everyone seems to be talking about paste.

Just looking for diet ideas for feeding angel fish.

I was looking at fish for ages as i was stocking my aquarium. I wanted something different but settled for fairly common fish. Angels and peacock gudgeons. Rare fish were mostly tank busters so i was a bit dissapointed with limitations. However i do keep dwarf rainbows and although they have...

You any ideas what other fish you want to stock?

I managed to source the green barbs but had already settled for the angels. I rather fancy some wild bettas but thats for another day!

I would seperate all the ill fish first. Can you take some pictures?

I would say one otto per 20 litre, some would say more or less. A minimum of six would be my recommendation.

I decided not risk buying because i wanted just males, however checking again today the seller is selling eggs of two rainbow species. In the end i went with eight female peacock goby and two males. I will be putting them with 4 double black adult angels. Not even rare fish but i can picture...

Based in scotland

The name is melanotaenia snugguer

Things look good at the moment but I'm dreading the visit from the algae monster :nailbiting:. Keep up with water changes and start off with short ligh periods. Maybe 5/7 hours with an off period inbetween. For this use a timer if your not using one. When your filter is stable get some ottos...

Its a shame how these fish are over looked. I will see if i can find any. Thanks

I seen the moonlight gourami for sale. I have kept most in the past. I was looking for some hard to find rainbows, found a seller not far from me! However, i dont have a price to compare the asking price to. They also sell wild bettas and dwarf cichlids. Both very rare fish. I was also...

The ribbed tubing wont fit inline products such as heaters. The ribbed tubing is rigid without the rubber ends.

Good choice. The plastic hosing is cheap looking so i would replace it anyway

Tank looks good. Maybe a black background? Hardscape is good but will soon be obscured by plant growth, i would suggest planting round rather than in front of hardscape. This is of course a suggestion as your aquarium looks good. It will be good to see it once its grown in.

Tank looks good. Im not overly knowledgable about high tech setups. I also went for the jungle look and am now slowly beginning to shape all the plants. I dose EI ferts daily and liquid co2. Run LED lights 3 hours on 4 off and 5 hours on. Reduce/increase total time to go with season. For your...

How great it would be to see a fly wearing a hard hat with a tin of pepper spray! I watched a documentary about killer whales killing great white sharks. This is a great example of animal evolution. It now means sharks will have to find ways of avoiding orcas.

You could use a sponge filter? The LED unit is probably gone, maybe a clip on light if the filter/light column can be removed?

These products are much the same in terms of technology. I use both and find them exactly the same except the fluval looks better. I just go for the best deal.

Hi. Its 8dGH but can reach 12dGH.

I was out today for a walk and came across this Such a striking tree

I am looking for a rare striking fish as a focus in my aquarium. I have a well planted (dense) aquarium. 200 litres and well filtered by a fluval 406. Currently stocked with 10 pygmy cory and 6 dwarf neon rainbows. Any ideas?

Hi. Only a suggestion but could you remove all live stock and cover the tank top with mesh. That would stop eggs being laid. Once larve become air borne they can be removed? I have an open top aquarium and there are midges on the water. These are a new food source.

Fish have evolved like any other animal, they have all adapted to an environment. Fish belong to a hostile environment weather predator or prey. Both have developed ways to survive. Safety in numbers is a survival technic. If you were to find yourself lost in a dark forrest your senses would...

I would say shoaling is just a numbers game. If you are in a crowd of say 200 people it would increase your chance of not being noticed. On the opposite, if there was just me and you then we both have a 50% chance of being chosen. Fish shoal purely to maximise their chance to survive.

My idea was was to create a terrarium style background and plant it up to compliment the height. But i would rather the wife got involved. She even dosed ferts today!

I like the pencil fish, i do however think a tall aquarium is too small. I would like to have a small fish that is not often seen. I once owned a pygmy gourami pair. Never again have i seen them for sale. They were liquorice gourami. I looked into dwarf puffers, but they are best kept single.

Mountain minnows are such an unrated fish. Pay closer attention to how they interact with each other. I find shoal interaction more pleasing than the desire to have them ball up like sardines. I have 30 of them and apart from the initial intro to the aquarium they never shoal together.

The upper section of the tank is empty but with fast growing plants it wont be long in filling that gap. I was thinking of red pencil fish or shrimp.

That is very true Rebel. Maybe once the plants fill in the height it will be easier to look at.

I suggested turning the rock slightly as one side has huge detail. Was told that it was fine as it was. Never had a tall tank so i have to find fish that would work, but wifey wants to choose. I may have finally got her interested!

So i picked up this 30 ltr tall aquarium from a car boot on sunday. After getting it home i planned to scape it with some surplus plants and rocks. Thats when my wife asked if she could do the scape. I was a bit unsure as she has never shown any interest in my hobby, however i agreed and off...

My swords grew huge! My aquarium was left to grow un-checked. The result

Hi. This aquarium has been going a while now. I was looking for the " jungle look" and found it. I do however think some shape is in order. Any pointers for trimming these plants?

Nano tanks look better without fish. If putting in fauna, micro rasboras, a much rarer shrimp or a dumbo betta.

I understand your point. Going by EI, i know how to make the mixture by reading the measurements from the EI instructions. I then know how many ml of each solution to dose everyday. How do you calculate your dosage with a spoon?

Does this work?

EI solution all the way. Follow the mixing guide and it cant go wrong. I have never used dosing pumps but dont know if i would trust it not to dump a whole solution of ferts in one go!

I have kept fish for years. I was stupid for not having a spare impeller. Although the filter should be ok left off for a while. It is not a good idea to practice this. When my hands are in the tank, ALL electrics are turned off. One wrong move and you can find your self in trouble. I learned...
