i think you could take "hardy" out of the request too! ;0) if the tank is planted heavily pretty much any fish could be added from the off, just build up slowly 2-3 every 1-2 weeks.

dont know about discus but if you are using EI then your nitrates should not be zero!

are the co2 levels fine? i use a ph meter to monitor the "rough" co2 levels on my tank, i know the tank well enough by now for it to work quite well for me. however......... my probe had gone out of calibration and i was adding much more co2 than i should have been. all the fish "seemed"...

dude. you missed this bit. "Breeding: This species is spawned on a large scale via hormone treatment, details of which appear to be a highly guarded trade secret. This is to help take pressure off of the already steep decline in wild stocks."

i cant say for sure as i dont have cherries,but i'm guessing they would enjoy the babies if they could. they dont bother the amano shrimp in my tank at all, but they are pretty much the same size. http://www.loaches.com/species-index/ya ... idthimunki info on the dwarf loach.

hi, i bought some chain/dwarf loaches to deal with my snails, gorgeous little fish and only get to a couple of inches fully grown. Also had a dwarf puffer in my old tank, some have problems with aggression with thiers tho, mine however was fine and caused no problems at all, great to watch...

my ottos receive no special food, they seem to find a good amount of food in the tank, they all have rounded bellies and seem happy.

i think you are right, looks like a schwartzi to me http://www.israquarium.co.il/Fish/Coryd ... BC3.html#G

what????? i think you have been misinformed there dude! i've not heard any such thing before. i currently have a fair few amano shrimp in my planted tank ph is around 6.7 in the day with the co2 on!! and i'm pretty sure most ppl who keep shrimp in a planted tank with co2 would be well under a ph...

hi, any body got experience with these? i initially bought 2 to rid my tank of snails, i thought they were great fish and after reading a bit more about them decided to get 4 more as i believed they would be much more social and active, i've read they they will even shoal mid level. mine how...

Dan, no i wasn't totally sure, i've never seen a bacterial infection of tails/fins, how ever it "looks" like nipping injuries. steve, first i've heard of them being aggressive with each other! but...... after watching them tonight for a long while i believe now it is indeed the sae's fighting...

hi, I have 3 sae's in my tank, i noticed last night they all have had thier tails nipped fairly badly. I'm tryin to figure out who the culprits are? Its not the ottos! And pretty certain they wont be doin it to each other? So that leaves, amano shrimp, chain loaches, ember tetra, green...

personally i think that would be pushing it! they can be about 4.5cm when grown.

i was in same position recently, trying to decide on the main shoal! i love neons but wanted something a bit different, so i decided to go for 2 shoals made of embers and green neons (false neons). altho at the mo, there are only 10 embers and 12 greens (planning 30-40 of each) i still get the...

200 neons!!! :shock: it does sound slightly ott! i guess it is could be possible, but one tiny mistake with ferts, co2 or maintainance and you'd really pay the price! :roll:

its a bitch aint it! sooooooo many options and i want it all! ;0) tbh, i'd not even considered gouramis, in the past ive had fish that i couldnt have gouramis with so i kinda just blanked them out! i can imagine a group together would be a lovely sight, are they happy in just pairs tho? as i...

actually strike the silver dollars out, they get a bit big and eat plants! so a definate no no! i wouldnt consider angels, i just had to convince my other half of this! dont the cichlids like different water paramiters? german rams were another option for me! very pretty, depends on the...

hi, i know about the old rough rule of 1" per gallon an all that, but guessin thats probably a fairly out dated concept now? Better filters, heavier, healthier plantin etc! i have a 240litre high tech tank which will be well planted, only 3x hourly filtration at the mo but plannin to double...
